Any tourist, getting ready for a vacation and choosing a future parking place, tries to use the help of the Internet. However, he will definitely not receive an answer to the request “campsites in Russia”. Rather, on the contrary, there will be more than a million answers, but it is extremely difficult to choose a specific proposal.
Russia is a huge territory that can offer a wide variety of types of recreation, from staying in luxury 5 * complexes to living in the bosom of nature in tents or trailers. Moreover, there are many more offers of the latter plan than luxury options.
What is the difference between camping in Russia?
The first point that travelers who dream of living in harmony with nature should take into account when choosing a vacation spot is the climatic conditions. Many campsites and campsites are ready to provide not only pitches for placing tents, but also wooden houses suitable for life in the off-season. Russia occupies the territories of both Europe and Asia, from the Arctic zones in the north to deserts and mountainous regions in the south, so the climate is taken into account without fail.
Next, you need to take into account the interests of each participant in the trip, it is good if the goals of the trip coincide. It is a completely different case when each member of the group has their own ideas about rest. That is, they can come to a decision about living in a camping for one or two weeks, but at the same time, their plans for each day of rest can be radically different, just as educational and extreme tourism differ from each other. It is important to find a compromise here - either provide each participant with the opportunity to go their own way, or all together plan entertainment on a daily basis.
Variety of leisure activities
Most of the tourists who choose to stay in campsites dream of simply going closer to the wild nature, retirement, and enjoying socializing with family or friends. And yet, given the Russian scale, recreation in different regions differs from each other. For example, the following can be noted:
- seaside regions - recreational tourism, health-improving recreation;
- Karelia - cognitive, active;
- mountain regions of the country - extreme and sports tourism,
- Siberia is active (hunting, fishing, collecting forest gifts).
Accommodation options are popular in the vicinity of large and small Russian cities. Moreover, both the townspeople themselves, dreaming of nature, and travelers from other regions of Russia and abroad, discovering natural and man-made sights, can act as tourists.
Reality and perspectives
On the one hand, camping has long and firmly entered the life of a modern person. Many have known about them since Soviet times, when this option was perhaps the most widespread. It is difficult to navigate the prices, since in each Russian region the cost of living in campsites can be radically different. On the other hand, time makes its own adjustments to Russian reality.
Camping sites of a new level are beginning to appear in many places of the country, equal in organization and degree of comfort to their foreign "colleagues". The level of campgrounds in Western Europe is much higher than in native Russian ones, but there are also changes for the better. Many Russian holiday destinations are organized similarly to Western ones, offering the possibility of accommodation in tents, trailers or barracks.
On the territory of the campsites there are amenities, including comfortable showers, toilets, special places for preparing hot food and canteens are being organized. These moments are important, first of all, for women and children, although men seldom give up comforts.
