Tents and caravans are the new beach holiday trend in Bulgaria

Information by Standart news daily, August 13, 2013

Camping holiday is becoming more and more preferred by vacationers. Mid-August is the time when all sites for tents and caravans along the Black sea coast in Bulgaria are fully booked.

Though vacationing on the beach is romantic, it is not cheap. The costs are close to those of the all-inclusive hotels, keen campers acknowledged. A permit to raise a tent is often more expensive than a hotel stay. Yet hardcore campers are ready to follow their passion for any price.

The strong demand raised prices in Albena, where currently pitches for tents and caravans cost from BGN 30 to BGN 50. In the famous camp Zlatnata Ribka in Sozopol tourists flock each day, asking about availability. A caravan place on the first line there currently costs BGN 50 per day and about BGN 35 is charged for the tents. The second line for the tents is BGN 10 cheaper.

The campers of the Gradina camping explain that the fight for the places closest to the sea for the summer already starts in February. The rent is between BGN 2000 and BGN 3000 for the June to September period. During the rest of the year, owners have to pull their caravans out from the beach. The price of the third line is BGN 1000.
