Plan your outing

Plan time outdoors beneath the stars. Confirm the camping location and equipment arrangements directly with Balkan.

Plan the location first

Ask which locations are suitable for your dates and how you will reach the campsite. Confirm permission and any local restrictions before pitching a tent. Discuss toilets access to water and the distance from transport rather than assuming facilities will be available.

Check your sleeping setup

Ask whether tents sleeping bags and sleeping mats are provided or need to be brought along. Share your previous camping experience and comfort needs. Choose clothing and sleeping equipment for the expected overnight conditions.

Keep meals and water simple

Confirm whether food and drinking water are included. Discuss cooking arrangements and any dietary needs before the trip. Do not assume natural water sources are suitable to drink. Follow local rules for cooking and fires and use only approved arrangements.

Leave a quiet campsite behind

Pack out all rubbish avoid disturbing wildlife and keep noise low. Use established camping areas where appropriate and follow your guide’s advice about storing food. Check the weather plan before departure and be ready to adjust the overnight stay if needed.
