Black Sea Coast - the Campsites



🌍 We are part of the My Guide Network 180+ destinations worldwide

If you are a dedicated fan of the great outdoors you’d probably want to stay close to nature and spend your holiday camping. The Bulgarian sea coast provides great opportunities for those like you who prefer the RV or the tent than the comfort of the hotel room.

Most of the Bulgarian sea campsites are located in the southern part of the coast, south of Burgas. The list is rather long but the most popular ones are: Gradina (Garden), Zlatna Ribka (Gold Fish), Arapya, Kavatsi and Smokinya (Fig). The best thing about them is that they all have nice sandy beaches surrounded by hills and forests where you won’t find any night clubs or restaurants but where you will still have plenty of things to do.

The traditional sun-bathing and swimming go hand in hand with various other attractions such as the wind and kitesurfing in the windy regions of the campsites, while the nights spent under the star-spangled sky and the mesmerizing sight of the sun rising from the sea every morning only add value to the overall experience.
