In Crimea, there are many campsites with tents, some prefer complete solitude and a real wild vacation, others prefer organized campsites with a minimum set of amenities. Let's try to list the most popular places for a savage to rest with a tent in Crimea - of course, there are many more, and theoretically you can pitch a tent anywhere.

Where to relax in Crimea with a tent in 2019?

Cape

If you are going to the Crimea with a tent by car, we advise you to pay attention to the village of Mysovoe - the reviews of tourists about it are very good. It is located near the Feodosia-Kerch highway, if you go in the direction of Kerch, at Cape Kazantip. This place on the Sea of Azov is ideal for a secluded holiday: White sand, very quiet and not crowded, only the cry of seagulls and the splashing of waves break the silence. According to the assurances of tourists, gobies can be caught here with almost bare hands. The sea is shallow and very warm, in order to swim for an adult, you need to move 30-50 meters from the coast. In the Tatar Bay you can go kite and windsurfing. You can also stay in the nearby Shchelkino.

quiet bay

A very beautiful bay with a sandy beach and springs with healing clay, which you can smear absolutely free of charge. It takes 40 minutes to go to Koktebel. If you drive from Feodosia, then you need to turn off at the stele and drive another 10-15 minutes along the dirt road. Once it was a favorite place of Soviet filmmakers, now it houses a spontaneous tent city(free) and several cafes.

fox bay

Lisya Bay is one of the most popular camping places in Crimea. famous place rest of informals and nudists - a sort of Crimean Goa. Drinking water - in the springs on Echki-Dag, rise from the shore for about 20 minutes. There is a small market, several toilets and many cafes - the local "Piccadilly". The stock of provisions can be replenished in the villages nearby, some locals bring food themselves.

Camping in Alushta

A variant of a “semi-wild” holiday, because the Vympel tent camp is located within the city limits. Due to its favorable location, it is well suited for tourists without a car. The camp is in woodland, not far from the Sudak ring - exit from Alushta towards Sudak and a bus stop. There is water, electricity, shower, toilet, dining room, kitchen and security. Tent, sleeping bag and other equipment can be rented for 150-200 rubles per day. The disadvantage is that the sea is far away. It takes 20-30 minutes to walk to the city beach through the Seaside Park.

Laspi Bay

Laspi Bay is securely covered by mountains, juniper thickets grow on the shore. From the east - Cape Sarych, from the west - Aya. This place in the Balaklava region of Crimea has long been popular with savage vacationers with tents, because the water here is warm and clean. In 2015, there was no longer paid camping with toilets and showers in the bay, people stayed with tents on their own. There is a paid campsite near Cape Sarych. Near the bay of Laspi, there is a village of the same name, where you can replenish food and water supplies. The lack of rest in Laspi Bay is a somewhat tiring descent to the sea.

Orlovka

You can get here by car from Sevastopol or Simferopol, following in the direction of Kacha and further to Orlovka. Beautiful sandy beach, the village has shops and cafes. With a tent, you can stand anywhere, some prefer right on the seashore. Firewood is better to carry with you. A company of the same tenters is guaranteed - they like to come here to relax as savages.

Belyaus

Wild white sand beaches stretch for almost 10 km along coastline. They rest here only in tents, there are no boarding houses or the private sector. There is quite a decent Viking campsite, but tourists complain that the prices are high there, although the service is good.

Olenevka

If you drive to the westernmost point of Crimea by car, you will find amazing landscapes and great opportunities for recreation with a tent. Olenevka is considered the center of wild recreation on Cape Tarkhankut. it quiet place with perfectly clear water and. True, it is very open and without greenery, but you can catch fish and crabs. Tourists rest as a savage with tents or in a campsite near the village. The campsite has all conditions: electricity, shower, toilet, wi-fi. In the village you can rent bicycles and explore the surroundings, as well as go diving and book excursions.

Evpatoria

Autocamping on the beach Cote d'Azur is a large open area with dining and nightlife nearby. Lovers of silence will not feel comfortable here, the place is more suitable for young people. There is hot water (shower), electricity, toilet and wi-fi. Accommodation - 120 rubles per person per day and 50 rubles per car. You can rent a house made of reeds for 1.5-2 thousand rubles a day.

Bakalskaya Spit

You can stop with a tent in the Crimea in a reserved place with very clean water. Tourists enjoy snorkelling and watching the fish. At the beginning of the spit, there is a tent camp, a toilet and garbage disposal. The sea is on the spit on both sides, there are no shadows and awnings, so the entire arrangement of the comfort zone falls on the shoulders of vacationers. Food supplies can be replenished in the village of Steregushche, which is 2 km from the campsite. Accommodation is paid - 60 rubles per car and 150 rubles per tent. According to reviews, the disadvantage of the Bakalskaya Spit is very annoying mosquitoes.

Of course, this selection of places where you can pitch a tent in the Crimea is far from complete - you can relax as a savage in Lyubimovka near Sevastopol (if you go to the right to the cliffs), on capes Fiolent, Meganom and on secluded beaches on the way to the village New World etc. And where did you rest in the Crimea with tents?

Secluded rest in a tent or car camping - which is better?

Not all campsites by the sea leave positive impressions. They are equipped in different ways, sometimes the benefits of civilization, proudly called showers, toilets and dining rooms, only remotely resemble those. But there are pleasant exceptions, in good campsites for a modest amount of 150 to 350 rubles per person per day, you can get all of the above amenities. These are campsites in Belyaus, Evpatoria, Kanak, Alushta and Rybachy.

According to the reviews of tourists who rested with a tent in the Crimea, the second unfavorable factor is that there is always a risk of getting into neighbors with a cheerful company, and then unceasing music at night against the background of alcoholic libations is provided. Of course, such a vacation is also good in its own way, but it is not suitable for everyone.

A secluded vacation with a tent in Crimea is the cheapest, you will only have to spend money on gasoline and food, but not the best option in terms of security. Although it is difficult to find an absolutely deserted place on the peninsula. Many set up an impromptu camp at a place they like on the seashore or in the mountains.

If you are going to Crimea for a vacation with a tent in 2019, you should take into account that you will have to take a lot of things with you. Of course, Crimean coast- this is not a wilderness, civilization is still nearby, but you can’t run into every little thing. So, in their reviews about the rest in the Crimea with tents, tourists advise:

Be sure to take personal hygiene items and toiletries, towels, a pair of swimsuits, several sets of clothes and shoes, a sun hat. Washing and drying things is not always possible, and you will need a supply of clothes in case of bad weather. Warm clothes and sweaters with long sleeves will come in handy, it is always a little colder in the mountains, especially at night. If you are planning a trip to the mountains, you will need a backpack and comfortable closed shoes with non-slip soles.

First aid kit. Necessarily - means from mosquitoes, burns, cuts, bites, etc.

Tent, sleeping bags or air beds with blankets, tent mounts. In some places it is very windy, so you need to fix the tent properly. If the resting place is very open, you will need an awning or an umbrella to provide shade. Gas burner for cooking, outdoor furniture and utensils, a flashlight and a supply of batteries, thread, needles, glue.

Supply of provisions and water. From products, take only what does not require storage in the refrigerator - cereals, canned food, for children - dry cookies without filling, condensed milk, candies, nuts and dried fruits.

There are no predatory animals in Crimea, but there are insects and snakes. The most dangerous for human life are spiders - karakurts and scolopendra centipedes, there are also ticks. Even harmless fish can cause trouble - a sea ruff and a sea dragon can painfully bite into spikes and cause inflammation, jellyfish are not safe if their mucus accidentally gets into their eyes. No need to try unknown berries and tear plants, some of them are highly poisonous. It is better to study in advance which plants and animals can be dangerous.

Vigilance does not hurt anywhere, even in sparsely populated places no one is safe from theft. According to reviews, most of these cases are recorded in the suburbs of Sevastopol and the abode of nudists and informals - in Lisya Bay.

Wild rest in Crimea has a lot of advantages. Firstly, such a vacation is educational and very economical. Secondly, not having a chance to complain about the lack of air conditioning and poor service in the hotel, the tourist gets more pleasure from outdoor recreation. But there are also disadvantages, and the most important one is related to the lack of familiar amenities and the right choice places for rest. However, for a car traveler, this is not a problem, he did not like it - he took off and went to look for another place.

Today I would like to take a closer look at one of the issues that causes the greatest interest among travelers with a tent. Since recently my friend and I have become interested in hitchhiking with a tent, many people (and myself) at first have the question “Where can you put up a tent abroad?”, “If everything is more or less clear in Russia, then suddenly Are there any restrictions over the hill?”, “How to choose a place to sleep safely all night?”. Let's figure it out together.

1. Deep forest with wild animals. After , we realized two things. First, you need to listen to what the locals say. If they say that there are a lot of bears in Romania, this does not mean that you need to immediately panic, but you need to take into account that it is too close to the forest belt better tent do not post. And secondly, even if you are sure that there are no wild animals in the local forests (although no one can be sure), it is better not to go into the wilderness at all. If you are still skidded into the forest, try to set up a tent away from the well-trodden paths, in addition to animals in the forests, you can also meet a person.

2. Big cities. The megacities of our planet have one nasty quality - this is a cluster huge amount people who can show up at the most unexpected times and places. Often when you ask passers-by or even the police where you can find without dangerous place in the city for an overnight stay in a tent, we get the answer “in the city park”. No no and one more time no! City parks, especially in the evenings, are the most dangerous place, as there are a large number of idle staggering personalities, sometimes even in a state other than sober (depending on the country, of course). In addition, in many cities, parks are closed at night and have their own security, which also complicates the nightly rest on the cut grass.

For example, before I heard that there are very strict laws on setting up a tent in any of public places. This even applied to natural parks. And indeed, you stop by and see large stands with an endless list of “no”, and people with a walkie-talkie in the form of “patrol” even courtyards in a residential area. God forbid you decide to have a picnic in the children's sandbox, not to mention go to bed on one of your favorite benches.

Perhaps for visiting Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Filipinos and other labor forces that serve the metropolis, this is very important. Who climbed all the holes in Asia will understand what I'm talking about. But, we are more or less civilized people, having at least a secondary vocational education, or at least a Russian school education behind our backs. For large metropolitan areas, there is such a system as or other options for using your ingenuity to “fit in”. But it is necessary to write a separate article about entries, now we are not talking about that.

The tent is best used outside big cities. Even if the day is drawing to a close, and you still have not found an overnight stay in the metropolis, it is better to try to go beyond it, there will be a greater chance of finding a quiet place.

Thus, in the UAE, we found places to pitch a tent even in parks (outside the city), it is enough to agree on this with the local police in advance. And if we were dropped off somewhere in the village, then finding a secluded place that hides from prying eyes is not a problem.

3. Shores of reservoirs. Beach. You should not place a tent on the banks of any reservoirs and even beaches close to the water's edge, since it is not known what the weather can “think up” during that period of time while you sleep. For example, the water level during high tide or heavy rainfall (rainfall) can rise, and in the morning you and your tent will go around the world ... no, not a trip, but swimming.

Once, being in China, we just ended up in the city at night, and for a long time we could not find a place to sleep. Until they came across the territory near the river. My friend noticed a good flat area, right on the shore. And from the edge of the site, to the water was about a meter high. My intuition haunted me, and I suggested talking to the guys from the local cafe, which was right there, just a little higher. They sheltered us for the night and even gave us a roof. We learned about our luck in the morning, because at night it charged such a downpour that the site chosen by the river was completely hidden by water (!). On the beaches, we also got up, but away from the water's edge and waves.

4. On private property without the permission of the owner or guards. In private areas it is very calm and sometimes even comfortable to sleep in a tent, because it is guarded. Often this is a well-groomed green area with a flat surface, and you just want to put up a tent in the trimmed bushes. However, I would not advise doing this without the permission of the owner of the territory. I think there is no need to explain that serious problems can arise, even if not at night (because they may not be noticed in the dark), then in the morning for sure.

We had one case in the Philippines, when we went around all possible safe accommodation options (check-in, police assistance, no man's land), and nothing helped. We noticed a private area near, as it seemed to us at night, a university under construction. Without asking anyone, we simply settled down where it was convenient. Lucky night went well, but in the morning we were woken up by two guards, who were clearly not happy with the fact that arrogant white people set up a “camping” in a protected area. There was no showdown, and the guys in uniform even waited until we got out of the tent ourselves in order to have an educational conversation with the “stupid” tourists.

However, things could have ended differently. As, for example, in Thailand, when, without the request of the hostess, we settled in her cafe, even if it was no longer working, and a man with a rifle was called to us, and then they took us to the police “for assistance”.

5. Large open spaces. Fields. As you understand, if you put up a tent in such a place, it will be like an "eyesore" for all the curious. In addition, on flat surfaces there are often strong winds (steppes, fields, deserts), which will “chat” the tent in different directions and interfere with sleep (it all depends on the tent). This did not happen to us, however, I heard from other travelers about the possibility of a lightning strike into a tent during a thunderstorm in an open area.

Choosing a safe place to pitch a tent.

Considering all of the above, we tried to select a place for a tent according to the following criteria.

between forest and city- we usually chose places on the outskirts of the city or found small fields with bushes and fences, which at the same time hide from unnecessary attention and protect from strong winds. It can be blueberries, abandoned vegetable gardens, country parks, road forks with a forest zone, etc.
country house area- in order not to frighten the residents and, God forbid, not to run into an “evil dog”, we asked for such sites only if the main gate was open and one of the household members was visible in the yard. If you are lucky to “run into” hospitable hosts, even if they don’t invite you into the house after meeting them (as often happened in the Caucasus or Central Asia), then they will definitely give you coffee or tea.

little hill- necessary when choosing a place so that in case of rain you do not end up in a puddle. If it's a slope, try to set up your tent so that the resulting stream doesn't run underneath you. It is possible to dig in a tent, but in "hitchhiking mode" it takes extra time.
invisibility– why is it so important? And it's not just about drunken individuals or bandits. Most likely they will not climb themselves, they will be afraid. But children or in “wild countries” locals who, for the first time in their lives, see not only a foreigner, but also a tent - this is a real problem. It will be very, very difficult to get rid of their excessive attention and curiosity. Some are so unceremonious that they can shine a flashlight directly into the “temporary dwelling”, as it happened to us in China.
roof, canopy, awning- it will be very good to find an additional "roof" for the tent, especially if you are traveling for a very long time. Surprised? “Why a roof if there is a two-layer tent?” - you ask. Surely, those who traveled with a tent for at least six months will understand what I mean. Of course, if once a year you get out for a nature vacation, then the purchased tent will last even for several years. However, when you use it every day in all kinds of climatic conditions, it quickly falls into disrepair. And it is not always possible to buy a suitable replacement at the right time. Therefore, if there is extra time, then I advise you to look for an additional roof, canopy, awning, or even a tree with a solid crown that will protect your tent from heavy rains, from bright sun, burning the top layer of the tent, as well as from long drying in the morning of the same layer after rain or condensation (with a large temperature difference).

campsites– are very common in European countries and, as a rule, are not free. That is, you pay a symbolic amount of money (for example, 150 rubles), for which you get a protected area, a flat place for your tent, a toilet, and in some cases a shower, firewood, electricity and even Wi-Fi, but the latter can be for a separate fee. I must say right away that we did not use this, since in some cases they ask for such an amount for which you can find a room in a “guesthouse” in the city.
unfinished or old houses- if you ask me which is better: an old abandoned house or a new house under construction, I will choose the second option. Why? Abandoned houses usually have their own history, good or bad, and after it falls into disrepair, they begin to use it as warehouses, tête-à-tête meeting places, or generally as a shelter for "dark" deals. New houses still do not carry any energy, as a rule, they are guarded (but sometimes not), and only boards, bricks and cement can be found from the dirt. That is, for rest in a tent, I prefer to use construction sites, however, as I said, if there is no strict security there.

Naturally, having driven around the world in this way, you yourself choose the best option for yourself. And of course, there are always exceptions to the rules, I myself sometimes deviate from them now. But, you see, it is easier to start, based at least on someone else's example.

Before going to a particular country, it is always necessary to study its rules and laws. No need to leaf through the Talmuds of the constitution and codes. It is enough to study the issues of free travel around the country. It may turn out that these laws have not been working for a long time, or simply no one is following them, but you need to know for every “fireman”.

For example, in many nature reserves or national parks setting up tents and making fires outside special campsites is prohibited, subject to huge fines. It makes sense to clarify such questions in advance. And of course, to “study” the experience of other travelers before traveling to a particular country.

That's all for today, dear friends. If you have any questions or questions, I'm always happy to answer them in the comments to the article below. Also, do not forget to subscribe to the news of our useful blog, as we plan to write something more interesting in the near future.

Anyone who has ever camped overnight probably understands how to pitch a tent. For experienced travelers, the process of installing a house does not take much time. For a beginner, the creation of an overnight stay can cause serious difficulties.

Choosing the right place

Some novice travelers believe that a tent can be set up absolutely anywhere. Moreover, this misconception is often confirmed by sellers in tourist shops. However, in order for the rest to be comfortable, you need to know where to put up a tent. When setting up accommodation for the night, consider the following:

The tent should not be pitched in a place where there are stones, sharp knots, tree roots or an anthill. Especially vicious insects can greatly spoil the sleep of a negligent tourist.
When sleeping on hilly terrain or in the mountains, it is important that during sleep the head is located higher on the slope, even if the slope on which the tent is set up is small. Otherwise, in the morning you will suffer from a migraine.
The possibility of sudden rain cannot be ruled out for sure. Therefore, it is important not to pitch your tent inside a hole or sinkhole. Otherwise, at night, water will flow directly into the shelter.
When setting up a tent, you need to think in advance about the place where the fire will be kindled. The tent ignites very quickly and must be protected from fire. In addition, it is important that smoke does not enter the tent.
It is not recommended to set up a tent directly next to a pond. This place is usually damper and colder.

Every novice traveler must understand where to put up a tent, otherwise he will not be able to avoid a spoiled trip.

Types of tents

Before understanding how to set up a tent for the night, it is important to know what type it belongs to. Most often in stores you can find a hemispherical (frame), tunnel (half-barrel) and gable (house) tent. The last one is outdated. The gable tent was very popular in the early days of backpacking. But lately, it is extremely rare to take it with you on a hike. The thing is that such a house is assembled for a long time, has poor wind resistance and is rather bulky.

Half-shell tents are also hard to set up. But this type has a big plus - it has quite a lot of space. Undoubtedly, the best-selling tent is hemispherical (frame). It is quite easy to assemble and has high strength.

Setting up the tent on site

How to put up a tent in nature, many novice travelers are interested. The installation process of the most popular hemispherical (frame) tent is as follows:

First you need to spread the inner tent on the ground.
Then you need to install the arcs. First you need to collect them. Namely, insert the elements of the frame into each other. This type of tent should have at least two arcs. Then it all depends on the design of the tent. The arcs can be inserted into the holes at the corners of the inner tent, and then fastened with hooks or threaded through fabric grooves and attached to the bottom of the tent. Then the arcs should be fixed with a rope to the tent itself. Due to this, the whole structure will become more rigid.
After the actions already taken, it is necessary to stretch the awning. It is important at the same time to match the inlet on the awning with the exit that is available on the inner tent. The awning can be attached in two ways (to the arcs or to the ground with pegs).

What should not be done by those who like spending the night in the forest

Some people who already know how to put up a tent make the following mistakes:

Polyethylene is used so as not to stain the bottom of the tent. However, with oblique rain, such a nuisance will happen even faster. If you decide to use polyethylene, then its corners need to be bent and attached to the bottom of the tent.
The tent does not need to be set up on the low beaches of mountain rivers. Due to rain, the water level in the river can suddenly rise and flood the overnight stay.
You need to be especially careful if the tent is set up in the mountains. It should be located away from avalanche areas. For example, on slopes where there is a thick layer of snow. It is strictly forbidden to stop for the night on the snow ledges.

Every fan of long trips should understand how to set up a tent correctly. As a rule, in the company of travelers only a couple of people know about it. Some people forget that hiking is not only a vacation, but also a big responsibility.
