    What could have been nicer is if there were bit more social feeling. While there were many guests there, it didn’t feel like it used all the potential for making it even better with like a camp fire or some social events or so.

    Such wonderful camping! Amazing location, beautiful setup with the tents. Great private swimming spots. We have been to many campings around the world and this one definitely is high on our top list.

    No complaints.

    Oh, what a fab location! I've not relaxed this much in ages. So peaceful and quiet...apart from a bit of music coming from the next door camp in the evening. But the music respectfully stops before midnight. The wi-fi is available only in the camp cafe which is perfect because you get a proper detox from phone and social media in general. Walking distance from all the restaurants and bars.

    Perfect stay at Pine Side Camp

    The camp site is not to be blamed but waves of waste (cigarette butts, weird foam etc) came through the water regularly … (probably the boats ?)

    Away from the crowded and noisy city centre yet close enough to go to the restaurants by foot. The camp site is quiet and perfectly located on the sea side. There’s a nice fresh breeze under the pine trees when everything is so hot everywhere else. They provided the tent, the mattresses and sheets which makes it easy if you don’t have gear.

    On the second day of my stay, it seemed that the flush in the men's toilet wasn’t working. was dirty at that time. The site was quite crowded, and I’m concerned that fire safety might not be well managed, especially since it’s a coniferous forest. I think that for such number of people, it would be nice to have a more comfortable shower and a modern toilet.

    I really enjoyed the nature at the campsite. Overall, I liked the place. There were many people, but they behaved calmly.

    The loud music from the city center played until 3am… Has nothing to do with this place, though.

    Beautiful spot in Himara! Crystal clear water and fine tents. Kind of a hippie-vibe.

    They don’t have a place to lock your luggage. There are only few charging outlets around so make sure to bring a power bank. The walk from the city is 15 minutes and it’s very steep you have to climb up a flight of stairs and it’s not very clear where to go unless you have google maps but you can ask around.

    This was my first time camping and I’m positively surprised. The location is gorgeous, in the middle of nature and trees and your morning view is the sea. No sound of city just crickets and waves. I was alone so the tent was very comfortable for me. The bathroom and shower are not the best but honestly it’s standard for nature stays. You can also swim, there’s a ladder you get off from or you can just simply jump from the rocks. The staff was nice and cordial. They also sell water and beverages in case you cant make it to the supermarket.

    Exceeded my expectations. This was my first time sleeping in a tent, so I had my doubts but it turned out great. The mattreses in the tents are comfy, the place has wc and its own beach. How cool is that?

    Maybe it is not suited for everyone but it’s such a vibe. That camping was one of the highlights of our travel. We enjoyed drinking our coffe by the water in the morning and jumping for a swim. The camping is calm. I personally think is worth staying there instead of an appartement in the town.

    very loud music from nearby camps and restaurants. definitely not their fault but if you're traveling with small children, you should know. even though it's a camp, there's unfortunately no kitchen, only a sink to wash dishes. that's not a bad thing as they are upfront in the description, but it gets inconvenient when you're staying for a few days. plus there are only 3 toilets (one with a missing seat 🙈) for the whole camp.

    Extremely beautiful scenery, very clean tents, charging stations all over the camp, bar with good coffee and board games, overall a great place to chill. The cliff has a good water entrance and the sea is super clean, you can see 3 metres below you.

    The best camp in Albania. The camp is nice, simple, practical, you are in the middle of forest by the sea, the view is perfect, friendly and polite stuff, city is max 10minutes by walking,..

    there is nothing not to like

    this was the best accommodation i had in my 2 month eurotrip. the tents were cleaner and nicer than some of the hostels i've stayed in. the views were something else. the bathrooms were always clean. and the coffee at the reception bar was the best coffee i've had in the whole of eastern europe. i recommended this place to many travellers i met on my trip and they all loved it. do not hesitate to book.

    There are not enough bathrooms and showers, and people need to queue quite a bit in the evenings. The showers are also not very clean and the water pressure is sometimes very weak.

    Wonderful location with a beautiful view of the sea, great staff and comfortable tents

    Overall things felt a little bit grimy, which I love camping I’m from Montana and camp all the time but when it’s your own gear it’s different than thinking of all the people that have slept on the same mattress in the same old tent that doesn’t seem to get deeply cleaned, sinks were clogged, showers could have been cleaner, trash cans are always full. It’s a lot of people cohabitating in a not large area. The coffee in the morning and ocean access makes up for a lot of that for a lot of people I think!

    Best ocean access in Himare probably! Cool people and vibe. We got lucky with a good location right on the water because we were staying for 3 nights, some tent locations are better than others for sure. We woke up every morning and jumped in the ocean then got the best coffee we had our whole trip from the bar area! It was a nice social crowd as well. You can have your sheets changed everyday if you desire.

    it’s cash only — sometimes it would have been easier if they took card. also, most places in town were cash only (not a downside just something to be aware of).

    great campground right on the ocean. the staff were super friendly. they provided the tent, mattress, blankets, pillows and towels. bathroom and shower facilities were always clean and stocked. the reception has a coffee bar and beer. the wifi at the reception is really strong but it doesn’t reach much of the tent areas — not a big deal because there’s also really strong cell service all throughout the campground.
