An expansive landscape with historic cities, unspoiled natural beauty, and excellent campsites. Visit Warsaw, Gdansk, or one of the 23 nature parks and enjoy the surprising Polish cuisine. Want something different? Then go camping in Poland.
More and more campers are pitching their tents in Polish soil. And who can blame them? Poland is a versatile and beautiful country, where it seems as if time has stood still. Add to that the hospitality of the Polish people, the rich history, and the surprising Polish nature, and you know: this is a perfect camping destination. And another big advantage: it's still very affordable too.
Plenty of nature in Poland
Nature lovers can find what they're looking for all over the country. In the north are the national nature parks, many of which are on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Such as Narwianski National Park with its picturesque natural meanders, also known as 'the Polish Amazon'. It is located in the Northeast, just below the Masurian Lakes: an area with 2,000 (!) lakes where you can cycle, hike, or canoe.
Mountain hikers in the south of Poland can marvel at the natural beauty of the three mountain ranges Tatra, Sudeten, and Pieniny. Another gem: the primeval forest of Białowieża, on the border with the Soviet Union, where medieval Polish kings and Russian tsars used to hunt.
Beautiful sandy beaches
In the north, on the Ostsee, you'll find Poland's best-kept secret. The Baltic coast has... beautiful sandy beaches. The beach of Rewal is even pristine white. In the 'Mediterranean' part of Poland, you can sail, surf, chill in beach bars, and browse charming markets. Other wonderful beaches include Dąbki, Kołobrzeg, and Łazy. And while you're here: Wolin National Park (on the northwest coast) has 95 cliffs and is breathtakingly beautiful.
Also not to be missed is the old port city of Gdansk. This ancient Hanseatic city is full of charming medieval streets, churches, and merchant houses. If you want to admire more famous historical cities, you can take a city trip to Warsaw or Krakow. The Polish capital is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The old Royal City of Krakow was spared during World War II. Here you will find more than a hundred ancient churches, monasteries, and palaces. And an hour and a half's drive from Krakow is the Auschwitz concentration camp, for those who want to reflect on a dark chapter in European history.
