Lepispea Caravan & Camping
Estonia, Lääne-Virumaa

This site is simply a large, level field screened by trees next to the Baltic Coast. There are 200 touring pitches, most with 16A electricity available. In the village of Vösu, there are shops, a bar and a bank (with cash machine). The restored manor house and park at Palmse are well worth a visit if only to see the Rolls Royce used by Khrushchev that broke down during a state visit to Estonia, during the Soviet occupation, and was too expensive to repair so it was left behind. The parks around the manor and the café, in the old bathhouse, are particularly worthy of a visit.

Camping Tehumardi
Estonia, Saaremaa

Opened in 2004 and offering first class facilities for touring units, Tehumardi Recreation Centre has good toilet facilities, a sauna, a small rowing pond and an Estonian-style grill house (both inside and with covered terrace) where you can enjoy barbecues. The site has two touring fields, one under mature pine trees, close to reception and the facilities and offering 30 hardstanding pitches with 16A electricity for motorhomes and caravans. The other pitches are on a large, grassy field without shade and this is used mainly for tents. The centre is located at the narrowest part of the largest Estonian Island, Saaremaa, at the start of the Sorve peninsula.

Toila Spa Kamping
Estonia, Toila

Coming to this site after three weeks in Russia, and having crossed the border into Estonia at Narva only 30 minutes earlier, we thought it must be a mirage – a clean, level, green field right beside the coast, fenced and secure with clean toilets, hot showers and water! Having quickly settled in, we realised it was not a mirage and set about enjoying all this quiet site has to offer. There are 22 touring pitches all with electricity. Although the site is next to the coast there are some 120 steps down to the beach. Despite that, it is an excellent site in a beautiful location.

Camping Pikseke
Estonia, Haapsalu

Pikseke is one of the better campsites in Estonia and it is close to the beautiful seaside resort of Haapsalu. There are 40 good sized, level grass pitches on two fields. All have 10A electricity and most are in the shade of mature trees. The site was opened a few years ago on a former farm and it is now a well established site that attracts mainly Finnish, Dutch and German visitors. The city of Haapsalu has many things to offer. Its beautifully restored old centre has a medieval bishop’s castle, which you can visit, and there is a pleasant promenade alongside the shallow waters of the bay.

Randmäe Puhketalu
Estonia, Hiiumaa Island

Located on the beautiful Tahkuna peninsula on Estonia’s second largest island, Hiiumaa, staying at Randmäe Pukhetalu feels like camping at the end of the world. The site has around 60 touring pitches, some with shade from mature trees, and including ten large pitches with 16A electricity. There are also several tent fields, some with good views to the sea. The owners are really working hard to develop this relatively new site. They have converted an old shed into a warm and comfortable lounge. There is also a sauna and three cabins with toilet, washbasin and shower.

Mändjala Camping
Estonia, Saaremaa

This campsite is situated within the Mändjala nature reserve, beside the sandy beaches of the Riga Bay area. It shares the site with some 61 holiday homes, but the camping area is towards the rear with direct access to the beach and the shallow waters of the bay. Mändjala has about 60 touring pitches, most in the shade of mature pine trees, with 16 electrical connections (10A). On grassy, gravel or sandy ground, the pitches are rather small. There are good views of the bay from some. The beach area is open to the public and at weekends both the site and the beach can become crowded with local people.

Camping Konse
Estonia, Pärnu

This newly developed site is some 700 m. from the centre of Pärnu, the summer capital of Estonia. There are 50 pitches, all for touring units and with 16A electricity, arranged in two areas on the banks of the River Pärnu, where it is possible to swim. One area, close to the newly built guesthouse (which also houses excellent sanitary facilities, a bar and the reception) provides small, level, grass pitches, some with views over the river. The other area comprising tarmac hardstandings is mainly used for motorhomes. There is little shade on the site and it can be hot in summer.

Vetsi Tall Camping
Estonia, Kassari

As soon as you enter this site you will notice the unusual, wine-barrel shaped wooden cabins which are located next to 50 camping pitches for touring units. Camping Vetsi Tall was once an orchard and the pitches are arranged between low fruit trees that provide some shade. They are on well kept grass in long rows and include two pitches with 10A electricity. The toilet facilities are rather basic, and we see this as a stopover rather than a long stay site.

Estonia

A largely flat country on the Baltic Sea, Estonia seamlessly mixes the urban splendour and energetic nightlife of cities like Tallinn and Tartu with the wildness of national parks such as Lahemaa.

Staying on a campsite in Estonia enables you to make the most of the country’s stunning nature. There are meteorite craters to explore and ancient limestone cliffs to see. Visitors in the springtime thaw can discover the forests of Soomaa National Park by canoe. For some culture, head to Tallinn. Its medieval walls encapsulate a buzzing market, an impressive cathedral and modern shopping centres. Don’t miss the chance to have a sauna – the tradition extends back 800 years in Estonia.

Shopping in Estonia

Estonia presents a delightful slice of Europe without the overwhelming crowds of tourists. This nation boasts captivating medieval towns, picturesque islands, and expansive national parks. Adding to its impressive array of offerings is the unique shopping experience it offers, appealing to both discerning enthusiasts and savvy bargain seekers. This abundantly rich country serves as an ideal destination to acquire handcrafted souvenirs from local shops, artisan workshops, and upscale designer boutiques.

Nestled within Tallinn, the heart of Estonia, lies one of the premier shopping destinations in the country – the Solaris Centre. This multifaceted hub is a haven for haute couture brands, Estonian designer emporiums, a plethora of dining establishments, a cutting-edge 3D multiplex cinema, an art cinema, and even a concert hall.

While shopping malls provide convenience, it's the designer outlets and boutique shops that harbour the most intriguing treasures. Noteworthy among these is the Estonian Design House, housing an impressive assembly of over 200 Estonian designers who craft their wares from sustainable materials. This establishment stands as a prime location to procure locally crafted garments, ceramics, footwear, distinctive lighting fixtures, whimsical furniture, and an array of charming knick-knacks.

For an authentic immersion in local culture, The Baltic Station Market beckons. This three-story marketplace accommodates nearly 300 vendors peddling indigenous produce, fresh fruits, and artisanal creations. A visit here offers the opportunity to secure freshly caught fish, garden-fresh produce, uniquely crafted souvenirs, and handmade goods, all at attractive prices.

The major shopping centres in Estonia are generally open from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. every day. Smaller shops are generally open on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Estonian Weather

TALLINN WEATHER

July is the hottest month in Tallinn with an average temperature of 18°C, whilst the coldest is February at -5°C. The wettest month is usually November, averaging 55mm of rain. The best month for swimming in the sea is July, when the average sea temperature is 19°C.

Winter in Estonia can be very cold: the temperature remains below freezing even during the day. Atlantic currents, which sometimes succeed in penetrating the southern part of Scandinavia, have difficulty in getting to Estonia. When these weather fronts do arrive, they usually bring with them frequent snowfall.

In spring, as the days get longer, the temperature rises slowly, with the thaw occurring at the beginning of April. Between late April and early May, the return of cold weather may bring snow showers.

Summer in Estonia is pleasant, with maximum temperatures around 20/22°C. Despite this, summer can be quite rainy: it rains on average one day out of three, and Atlantic fronts can bring some rainy days even in summer. There are spells when warm air masses from the southeast bring very hot days, and in these situations, the temperature may peak at 35°C, but these heatwaves usually don't last long.

Autumn is a dull and rainy season. It quickly becomes colder, so much so that the first snowfalls are possible in late October.
