am planning to cycle form Sheffield to Istanbul July to Oct so am pleased to hear that about the Serbian section of the Danube cycle route. Are there many campsites in Serbia?
Hi Guy,
Wow, Sheffield to Istanbul! Now that’s a journey, in more ways than one
Should be amazing, though I imagine I’d be wanting to get the UK section out of the way ASAP!
As far as camping goes, to be honest there AREN’T as many campsites in Serbia as there are in other countries, and certainly none that I can think of along the Danube route! (guess people haven’t though of it yet) Your best bet would be to check out this page, which should have some info on, though I imagine you might need to deviate from the route a little to find them. Also, that CAN’T be a complete list. The Zemun one would probably be useful to you, that’s just outside Belgrade. Also, there is one I see on the list at Golubac, which is on the Danube down towards the Romanian border, if you are going that far.
To be honest though, although officially you are only supposed to camp at designated camp sites in Serbia, that must be one of the least-enforced laws in Serbia (well, actually, I can think of a few others…) because you could camp just about anywhere, as long as you got yourself away from the main road and you had a water supply of some sort. If it was farm land of some sort, or an orchard, and you could find the owner, you could ask permission, but usually they would be surprised you even bothered asking - most land is not fenced off in Serbia. Then you could maybe use their water supply too. There are certain areas of National Park where you are not supposed to light fires either, if you like to have a fire when you camp. But again, mostly just common sense.
Hope that’s some help. As it happens, I keep planning to actually ride the whole Danube route myself in Serbia, which would take 3-4 days at a moderate pace, and do some camping along the way - my tactic would probably be - find a nice spot, make sure there is water, clean up after myself - no problems. If no one can see me on the way past, all the better (though that’s just me being antisocial).
