Overview

Camps in Montenegro are in the mountains, by the rivers, and by the sea. At Žabljak you sleep at about 1,450 m, where even summer nights are cold; on the Tara alongside rafting; in Ulcinj a few steps from the sea. In national parks, camping is allowed only in camps.

Durmitor and Tara

Around Žabljak there are auto-camps in Durmitor National Park, at about 1,450 m: Mlinski potok, a fifteen-minute walk from Black Lake, Razvršje and camp at Boća, about 2 km from the centre, and Ivan Do beneath the peaks of the massif. On the Tara near Đurđevića Tara there is eco camp Kljajevića luka, with rafting. A few more camps are around Plužine, in Piva. In the mountains you can also overnight at a katun: see the map of katuns.

Bjelasica and the north

Around Mojkovac and Kolašin there are smaller camps with wooden cabins, close to the Tara and Biogradska gora – among them camp Šćepanović in Donje Polje. There are also camps around Plav, by Plav Lake.

Sea

On the coast there are camps in Boka, near Budva and Petrovac, in Utjeha, and on Velika plaža near Ulcinj. In Buljarica near Petrovac there is camp Maslina, in Utjeha camp Oliva, which operates year-round, and on Velika plaža camp Neptun and auto-camp Miami. On Ada Bojana there is a naturist camp.

Skadar Lake and Podgorica

Near Vranjina, along the Morača before Skadar Lake, are River Camp Morača and auto-camp Vranjina. A few smaller camps are around Podgorica and Danilovgrad.

Rules

Camping is allowed only in camps. The Law on Tourism and Hospitality permits camping only on land designated for that purpose and prescribes a fine for camping outside it. In national parks the Law on National Parks prohibits camping outside designated camping areas and without paying the fee, with a fine of 100 to 4,000 €.

Practical tips

Reservation

For July and August, send an inquiry to the camp in advance, especially if you are coming with a camper or looking for a bungalow. Outside peak season there is usually space without notice.

Bring cash

Smaller camps do not always accept cards. ATMs are in Žabljak and in coastal towns.

National park entrance fee

Camps near Žabljak are in NP Durmitor, so the entrance fee is paid separately: 5 € per person per day. An annual ticket for all five national parks costs 13.50 €. Current prices are on nparkovi.me.

Fire

In national parks fires are allowed only at designated sites, and in summer the fire risk is high even outside parks. Cook on a gas stove, and if you see smoke, call 112.

By camper in the mountains

The roads of the Durmitor ring are not for campers over 7 m long and 2.30 m wide. The hardest sections are Plužine – Šćepan Polje, Pišče – Žabljak, and the Sušica canyon; the ring is recommended to be driven clockwise.

Equipment according to terrain

For Durmitor, a warm sleeping bag, layers of clothing, and a waterproof jacket – even in summer nights are around 10 °C. By the sea, shade, sun protection, and repellent, especially along Bojana.
