‘How many things I have no need of”. These are Socrates’ words that we repeat anytime we pack for our vacations. But if you are a person with small needs looking for adventure and an authentic experience in Albania, camping is the best option for you.
Camping is the best and cheapest way of exploring Albania if you’re traveling on a budget. There are many campsites in Albania located all over the country and near to the must-visit destinations. They make an affordable option for backpackers, for tourists on-road or motorcycle trips and even for solo travelers. Here’s a list of all the available campsites in Albania. They are divided depending on tourism regions. In many cases, you can find short reviews made recently by foreign tourists. The list includes campsites that you can’t find online.
