Camping in Zakopane (is it popular and what to expect)

I am going to Poland this summer with my wife (Polish) and we are thinking of camping. Is it popular and what can I expect as far as places to camp and facilities? Thanks

there isn't much camping possibilities in the mountains, if that's what you're asking about.. however, the huts are excellent way to backpack/hike around the Tatras. there have been a few threads about this in the past. you may want to look for them as they had a lot of good info. good luck and have fun.

So they have small cabin type huts? Do they have water?

I looked and couldn't find anything on the huts here

Here,s a couple of sites to start you off.
The first gives you choices of b+b,s around Zakopane.
The second is one of the choices, where they quote prices from 30zloty/night, to 17zloty for group bookings.
Back packers or campers don,t usually have any problems in Poland. Most camping facilities are adequate, but if things didn,t meet your expectations, the locals are only to willing to make your visit a pleasant one and will find you alternatives.

no, pretty large mountain huts. they are very much like hostels and they are not separated coed. well, used to be anyway.


did you search for "Zakopane" here? did you play with the different search parameters?

Ok thanks,

We (my wife who lives in Poland) and I found some places. Thanks for the info. Any advice of things to see there?
I am excited to go this summer.

again, search around here.. there are several threads about different mountains and such..
