Camping Oase Praha is an exceptional site, only five kilometres from Prague, with easy access between the site and the city. You can take the bus (from outside the site) or drive to the underground stop (ten minutes). The site has 120 pitches, all around 100 sq.m, with 6/12A electricity and 55 with water and drainage, on level, well-kept fields.

This city site on the Cisarská Louka Island is about the closest campsite you can get to the centre of Prague. Right behind the site, which is on the premises of the local yacht club, a small boat takes you across the Moldau River to the nearest metro station for the city centre (hourly until 19.30). This is a useful site for a visit to Prague if you can cope with the basic toilet facilities. The site is arranged on one large, well fenced field providing 50 touring pitches, 40 with electricity (16A Europlug). Pitching is rather haphazard off a gravel access road running half way up the site.

Situated close to the Vltava river and with good access to Prague, River Camping is a friendly site and an excellent base for visiting the city, but also for enjoying a range of outdoor activities such as cycling, walking and canoeing. Prague Old Town is just four kilometres away and can be reached by tram, metro and bicycle. The grassy pitches (90 sq.m) are off hard access roads, some with shade and others more open, and have access to electricity hook-ups. We see this as a good site for solo travellers and couples wishing to spend a couple of days exploring Prague.

This neat, well-maintained site offers a pleasant respite from the bustle of the city. Situated on the northern edge of Prague, it's a great place to stay for a few days, with public transport whisking you into the city in under 30 minutes (buy tickets at reception). Start at the Old Town Square and the extraordinary 15th-century clock before strolling over the 14th-century Charles Bridge.

No trip to the Czech Republic would be complete without a visit to the capital, Prague. At this site, you can do just that without getting tangled up with the city traffic. Just about 8 km. from the centre, there is an excellent bus link from the site to the new metro station at Ládví, which is a part of the new integrated transport system.

Kotva is pleasantly situated directly by the River Vltava and has been subject to heavy flooding in the past, which destroyed some buildings and most of the trees. There is clearly a continuing risk of flooding, so care should be taken when visiting this site. The 50 touring pitches are on level grass with hardstanding and 6A electricity, with a separate grass area for tents. Drainage may be poor in wet weather. None of the pitches are marked out and it does become crowded in high season, particularly with motorhomes. The site is owned by a sports club and sanitary arrangements are in the main club building which also houses offices and accommodation.

Dzbán is situated on the edge of the Divoka Sarka Nature Reserve, but also close to the centre of Prague. A lake with a beach is just 200 m. away and very welcome after a hot day in the city centre. There are 120 numbered touring pitches here, all with electricity, on level, grassy fields plus some concrete hardstandings. Off paved access roads, the pitches are separated by young trees and in summer there is not much shade. This is a large, rather anonymous site but facilities are adequate.

This site is very close to the Vltava river, although you cannot see it, and there has been heavy flooding in the past. There are 75 touring pitches (10A electricity), they are small (80-90 sq.m) and about half are on hardstanding. The grass pitches can become muddy with rain. The access road is narrow and manoeuvring space is limited, so the site may be less suitable for large caravans and motorhomes. Nevertheless, it is only a 15/20 minute journey to the centre of the city by bus.

The Dutch owners, the de Baans, have developed this site on an old farm. The location of the site alone is worth a stay for a couple of days to enjoy the wide views over the woods and the fields. Thirty-five large pitches (all with 4A electricity, long leads may be necessary) are available, some with shade. The site is friendly and cosy and many campers return every year. There is an outdoor swimming pool and there are many interesting places to visit in the vicinity, including Prague, Plzen, Pisek and Pribram. The bar is a real piece of art, designed to fit into the old barn. With a warm and comfortable atmosphere, there are a few pleasant sofas for relaxing with a drink after a long day’s walking or cycling. English is spoken.

Previously known as Camping Zizkov, Central Camp is a small site close to the centre of Prague, within the grounds of a ‘pension’. It has 40 touring pitches on level grass in a circular area and all have 6A electricity. Pitches are rather small, as is the entrance, but the site does take large units. There is a nice ambience here and it is close to the river where you can take a stroll. Adjacent is a large sports centre with an open-air pool, tennis courts and basketball. All necessary amenities are available on-site, including a bar in high season, but one should be aware that the pension in high season is mostly populated with youngsters.

Camp Drusus is a friendly, family site on the western edge of Prague. It provides a good base from which to explore this beautiful city, with the metro station only a 15 minute walk away.
