Camping Smok Nr. 46
Just five kilometres or a short bus ride from this site is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Krakow. It dates back to the tenth century and contains many fine buildings, such as the Cloth Market in the main square. A short (or somewhat longer) stay at Camping Smok is likely to be an essential part of any trip to Poland. It has 50 touring places, all with 6A electricity, in a semi-rural area along the Vistula valley and is only 5 km. from the A4 motorway junction. As you approach the site on the motorway you will see the Camaldolite Monastery at Bielany, high on a cliff.
Camping Kolobrzeg Baltic
Just four hundred metres from the Baltic Sea in Poland’s biggest spa resort, this four-hectare site is in a forested area with good access to local amenities and attractions. It is a ten minute walk to the historic town centre with its 14th-century cathedral, medieval fuse tower and lighthouse, and boat trips to Bornholm island run in summer. There are 190 pitches, 90 for touring, on grass or hardstanding, and all with 16A electricity. Eighteen fully equipped wooden chalets are available to rent. Kolobrzeg is a popular destination with plenty of culture and entertainment. It is on the European Route of Brick Gothic and on the Baltic Sea cycle route.
Camping Ondraszek Nr. 57
If you enter Poland from the Czech Republic, Bielsko Biala could well be the first large town you enter. Formed by the joining of the Silesian town of Bielsko and the Galician town of Biala it was once an important centre for the textile industry. It is a good starting point for excursions into the Beskid Slaski Mountains and the local ski lift will take you to the Szyndzielnia peak 1,026 m. (3,300 feet). The site is located south of the town is in a pleasant park area. With 60 pitches for touring in two areas, some between mature trees, the site is quiet and well kept.
Camping Echo
You will receive a warm welcome at this very good, small family campsite. With only space for about 40 pitches, all with 6A electricity, it would be a good choice for a short or medium term stop while you explore and enjoy the Mazurian Lakes. It is on the eastern banks of Lake Neogocin which is popular with watersports enthusiasts and swimmers alike. The Mazurian Lakes area is a very popular holiday spot but despite this the countryside remains unspoiled with many rare plants and birds thriving here. The lakes are interlinked by rivers and canals and are suitable for canoeing and yachting trips.
Camping Forteca
Camping Forteca was formerly a sand excavation-site, in fact the current lake was created as a result of excavation process. The site was planted with birch and pine trees to ensure that it integrated into the surrounding nature. It is located in a rural area, but in comfortable distance of the medium-sized town of Dzierżoniów for all your daily needs. From the site there is a good view of the Owl Mountains and the Slęża mountain. About twenty minutes in the car and you are in the woods of the hills of the Owl Mountains. This mountain range is part of the Giant Mountains on the border with the Czech Republic. Twenty minutes west of the site and you are in the nature reserve ‘Massief Ślęża’ that can be recognized by the lonely mountain surrounded by plains. In this rare and beautiful setting, the site offers a wide variety of spacious, beautifully situated touring pitches sheltered by birch and willow trees. The pitches are arranged so that you are able to enjoy the space and nature around you. Visitors can enjoy relatively traffic-free cycling through the surrounding countryside, based on routes provided in the information pack. The site has 70 touring pitches with electric hook-up point 16amp.
Camping Katno
Katno is a small village near Ostróda in Masuria in northeast Poland, 100 km. from Gdansk Bay and the Baltic Sea. This claims to be one of the most beautiful regions in the country, covered with forests and surrounded by picturesque lakes. The site offers touring pitches with electricity connections available, and has caravans and log cabins to rent. It is on the shores of Szelag Wieki, a post-glacial lake popular with fishermen, and close to a bathing beach. Numerous footpaths and cycle tracks provide opportunities for the energetic to explore the area, and canoes, pedaloes and sailing boats can be hired on the lake.
Camping Tramp Nr. 33
Camping Tramp has a pleasant appearance and lies in a basin below the level of the roads which run on both sides of the site. A variety of trees cover part of the site where pitches (with electricity) mingle with holiday bungalows. The other, larger field is an open meadow, where half the pitches have electricity. The 100 pitches, reached from hard access roads, are neither marked nor numbered but the position of electric boxes define where to go. Some pitches are separated by low hedging. The main E75 runs along one side of the campsite just before a busy junction and river bridge resulting in continuous traffic noise.
Auto-Camping Park Nr. 130
This site is almost in the centre of Jelenia Gora, which is situated at the foot of the Karkonosze Mountains. It is close to the Czech border and the famous ‘crystal glass’ town of Szklarska Poreba. The 80 level touring pitches (40 for touring units, 40 for tents) are on terraced grass, all with 10A electricity and there are mature trees. A new hotel is adjacent to the site with tennis courts. Some road noise should be expected. Jelenia Gora’s historic centre, with a Baroque town hall, is surrounded by arcaded town houses and is just a few minutes walk from this pleasant campsite. Places to visit locally include Cieplice, the Szlarka waterfall, Karpacz and Sobieszow with its Chojnik Castle.
Camping Park 45
Camping Park 45 is in a partially wooded area next to a glorious sandy beach looking out toward the Sopot pier and the Gulf of Gdansk. There are around 250 pitches, many of which have shade from the tall pine trees that cover the site. The site can become busy during high season with many motorhomes packed into it (they don’t appear to have a minimum rule between units). Long leads are also needed at some pitches for the electricity points.
Auschwitz Centre
Oswiecim is a name that many will not have heard, but any mention of the German equivalent, Auschwitz, evokes fear in almost everyone. Founded in 1992 this centre gives the outward appearance of being a first class hotel. Its aim is to create a venue for meetings, exchanges, education, reflection and prayer for all those who visit Auschwitz and are moved by what happened here. To further this aim campers are welcome to use the landscaped gardens with tents, motorhomes or caravans and use the centre’s facilities. Electricity has been provided (6A) with 20 pitches either on the grass or on the large parking area.
Camping Ustup
This is a very good, small campsite run by an enthusiastic family in the Polish winter capital, which is on a par with the best alpine resorts as an upmarket ski resort. With only space for about 24 pitches, all with electricity, this a good short or medium term stop while you explore and enjoy the Tatry Mountains and Zakopane. While some visitors go hiking in the mountains, many are content to admire the scenery from the windows of their cable car gliding to the summit of Mt Kasprowy Wierch or from the funicular railway (14PLZ return) ascending Mt Gubalówka.
Hotel Camping Malta
This campsite is on the grounds of the Hotel Malta and is located close to (about a 25-minute walk) the town of Poznań and next to the picturesque Lake Malta. The campsite has 40 touring pitches, separated by hedges, and electric hook-up points are available. On-site facilities include a restaurant that serves traditional Polish and European cuisine. There is also a children's playground to keep the little ones occupied whilst staying here, and you can also take advantage of bicycle hire available on-site to explore the surrounding area. Plenty more activities are available within the surrounding area, such as a dry ski slope open all year, and you can also find an illuminated outdoor ice rink open during the winter months. The whole family can enjoy the amenities available at the lake and the designated swimming area in the summer.
Camping Olimpijski Nr. 117
Wroclaw sits on the River Oder and boasts over a hundred bridges. The historic town centre has an impressive mixture of architectural influences, from Flemish style, Renaissance mansions to a late Gothic Town Hall, and has a fine collection of open-air restaurants and cafés. The campsite is 5 km. from the town centre at the Olympic stadium and has convenient tram services to town. It would be a good site for an overnight stop or for a couple of days sightseeing. It is a large site with pitches for 180 touring units on level, grassy ground with some trees.
Camping KamA
A small family campsite on the banks of Lake Talty north of Mikolajki, Camping KamA is run by the Kaminski family. Whilst the site straddles the small rural road, it creates two small unique areas, providing 60 touring pitches with 16A electricity. The first to the left is on the banks of the lake, whilst the second, a little higher on the right, is where reception and all the facilities are to be found. Here the site is also level having climbed the small access road. Both areas provide electricity. This is certainly one of the best sites we have seen in Poland.
Auto Camping Nr. 215
Although the Górnóslaski industrial district, of which Katowice is the capital, is not a tourist centre, Camping 215, being near a lake and 5 km. from the town centre in a leafy suburb, makes a good one night stop when travelling from the west to Krakow or for a few days if visiting Auschwitz or Katowice. The site has five rectangular grass lawns, separated by hard access roads. There are just 40 unmarked, slightly sloping pitches for touring, some being under trees and some in the open, but all having 6A electricity. The disadvantage of this site is that it is next to the main motorway and is therefore noisy.
Camping Polana Sosny Nr. 38
The small village of Niedzica is south of the Pieniny mountain range in the Dunajec valley and about 40 km. northeast of Zakopane. This excellent little campsite is right alongside the Dunajec dam and the river, at the eastern end of the Czorsztynskie lake. With 35 level touring pitches, all with electricity, it is a good short or long stay site. Adjacent is the Dwor restaurant which is open from 10.00 to 22.00 all year. The raft ride on the river that flows through the limestone mountain gorges is one of the best known tourist attractions in Poland.
Camping-Pension Galindia Mazurski Eden
Mazurski Eden is in the centre of the beautiful Mazurian Lake District, surrounded by the interesting flora and fauna of the Piska forest. It is a quite amazing place approached by a 1.5 km. sand road, easily negotiable by caravans, with the entrance flanked by tall pine posts of carved figures. Wood carvings abound with statues by the water’s edge, on buildings and inside the hotel. The camping area, with room for 100 units, is grass on sand under tall trees which serve to determine the pitches, with electrical connection boxes topped with lamps for night illumination.
Holiday Tourist Centre Perla Krutyni
This lovely small site, which is on a river bank, offers real peace and quiet, along with Polish hospitality. It has plenty of pitches for tents (capacity for 150 persons) without electricity and there are six pitches with electricity for touring units. Twenty five unusual wooden holiday cottages are also available to rent. The site is used by many nationalities who arrive here with their canoes and usually stay one or two nights before continuing their tour through this marvellous lake area. Others stay for a week or two, as the site has kayaks to rent and organises walking and riding trips in the Mazurskie Lake District – this area of 1,500 square kilometres contains over 3,000 large and small lakes.

Poland

Those looking for something a little different will certainly find it in Poland. Situated at the heart of Europe, it boasts mountains to rival the Alps, which play host to rare wildlife such as lynx and brown bears and provide powdery slopes in the winter months that are ideal for skiing.

Several of the campsites in Poland’s southern region are close to the former capital, Kraków. Echoes of the country’s turbulent history can be found here; it once had a lively Jewish population, and the district of Kazimierz has some wonderful synagogues.

Whether you want to stay on a pitch or in accommodation, there is no shortage of locations to choose from for camping holidays in Poland.

Shopping in Poland

zapiekanka

Shopping in Poland can be a delightful experience, as the country offers a variety of options ranging from traditional markets to modern shopping centres. 

Poland has numerous modern shopping centres, especially in larger cities like Warsaw, Krakow, Wrocław, and Gdańsk. Some popular ones include Złote Tarasy in Warsaw, Galeria Krakowska in Krakow, and Arkadia in Warsaw. These centres host various international and local brands, entertainment options and dining facilities.

Poland has emerged as a flourishing and high-powered country in northern Europe between Germany and the former Russian states of Belarus and Ukraine. Poland’s manufacturing history dates back to the past and is still regarded as the producing powerhouse for central and Eastern Europe. It is also flourishing as a commercial and retail centre, luring top brands, with numerous Polish factory outlets emerging,

Traditional outdoor markets are a great way to experience local culture and find unique products. Famous examples are the Hala Mirowska in Warsaw and the Stary Kleparz in Krakow. You can purchase fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and other local products here. The best market to visit in Poland is the Plac Nowy Flea Market, often called the Jewish Market due to its location in Krakow’s Jewish Quarter. This market has been one of the longest-running, dating back to 1808. The best time to visit this market is on Saturday mornings. The market is packed with around 300 stalls selling items from antiques, vintage cameras, books, clothing, and crafts.  

Zapiekanka is a toasted open-face sandwich made by using a sliced baguette which is then topped with sautéed mushrooms and cheese and then Served hot with ketchup; it has been a popular street food in Poland since the 1970s. Consider Polish pottery, Amber jewellery, traditional Polish wooden crafts, and regional foods like sausages and flavoured vodkas when shopping for souvenirs.

In Poland, shopping hours can vary depending on the shop size and location. During the week, larger shopping centres are generally open from 10 a.m to 9 m. Smaller shops and boutiques' times vary but are typically open between 10 a.m. and 6 m. Many supermarkets have extended hours and are open from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. On Sunday most shops are closed.

Polish Money

Polish Złoty

The official currency of Poland is the Polish Złoty (PLN). Most places accept credit and debit cards. ATMs are usually available in towns and cities with many having multilingual instructions. Having some money on hand when visiting smaller shops and markets is a good idea.
