SI · Julian Alps, Bohinjska Bistrica

Camp Danica

By the Sava river in Bohinjska Bistrica. Excellent base for day trips to Lake Bohinj (15 min by car) — we go up to Bohinj for the day and come back here for the night.

Our favourite riverside campsite in Bohinjska Bistrica. Great amenities, an easy walk into town. We use it as the overnight base for trips to Lake Bohinj (Camp Bohinj itself is too tight for our rig).

SI · Julian Alps, Lake Bohinj

Camp Bohinj

Right on Lake Bohinj. The location is top-tier, but our 11 m Empire Liner doesn't fit through the gate (pitches max out at 8 m). During the day we use the paid lot next to the campsite (paddleboard, boat, mountain hikes); overnight we head to Camp Danica in Bohinjska Bistrica (15 min by car). Triglav National Park rangers are uncompromising — wild camping in the area is not tolerated.

Campsite right on Lake Bohinj — tested, location is top-tier: the lake, paddleboard, boats, the Vogel cable car, fantastic hikes into the Julian Alps. During the day we use the paid lot next to the campsite (paddleboard / boat carries easily from there); overnight we head to Camp Danica (15 min by car). Overnighting in the lot is not allowed. The campsite shop is well stocked with local food and there's a restaurant. Triglav NP rangers are uncompromising — wild camping in the area is not tolerated.

AT · Carinthia, Klagenfurt

Camping Wörthersee

On Wörthersee — picturesque little town, water access from the public beach, boat rentals or via paddleboard. Great restaurant on the headland next to where the small river flows in.

Carinthia by Wörthersee — town rhythm + lake. We know it more from a hotel stay; the campsite itself is TIGHT and pitch #426 we lived through to the millimetre (and held our breath). The surrounding location is top-tier: park, playgrounds, mini-world, an adventurous trip up the side stream.

AT · Kärnten, Ossiacher See

Seecamping Berghof

Ossiacher See, on the route near Villach.

Seecamping Berghof right on Ossiacher See, on the route near Villach — no pool, no spa; the lake is the draw. For the Empire Liner, confirm a specific 11 m pitch (`verdict: verify`); the lakeside terrain tends to be flat.

Caravan Park Schnals

Schnalstal, Hochjoch glacier — alpine campsite for skiing. Few people, no wellness.

Camping Seiser Alm

Völs am Schlern. The prettiest in the area, but a tricky approach.

Camping Seiser Alm at Völs am Schlern — one of the prettiest in the Dolomites, but the approach must be verified critically for gradient and width (`verdict: verify-critical`).

SI · Julian Alps, near the Italian border

Slovenia · Park4Night hilltop off the motorway

Park4Night spot in Slovenia — a few km off the motorway up a hill, silence, a view. Nothing else, but compared to a motorway rest area it's pure joy.

Classic Park4Night-style overnight stop — a few kilometres off the motorway up a hill, no facilities, no destination, but silence, a view and a quiet night's sleep beyond comparison with a motorway rest area. From our experience the Empire Liner / Modelka can turn around and park there without trouble.

CZ · South Bohemia, Veselí nad Lužnicí

Veselské pískovny campsite

Overnight stop on the Prague → Austria route when you can't make it any further. Former sand pits near Veselí nad Lužnicí — a chain of ponds with embankments and cycle paths.

A rescue when you leave Prague late and won't make Austria. Last time we parked in the middle of a football pitch — VIP position for the Empire Liner. Bonus: amazing cycle paths along the surrounding pond embankments. Minus: mosquitoes, pond swimming, no pool, gastro is straight from the nineties. A one-night stop, not a long-haul stay.

Gmünd in Kärnten — overnight stop

Free overnight pitch, a short walk across the bridge to the town square with shops. Castle, walking trails, Porsche museum (Porsche built his first car here).

Free overnight stay in Gmünd (Kärnten) — a short walk across the bridge to the town square, castle, Porsche museum (cradle of the first series-production Porsche). Better as a second-day stop — from Prague the first day is too far.
