Camping in Lithuania: Well-Equipped and Nature-Focused

Lithuania is a very camper-friendly country with a great and growing network of campsites.

• Like its Baltic neighbours, wild camping is a grey area. It is strictly forbidden in national parks (like the Curonian Spit and Aukštaitija) and nature reserves. Outside of these protected areas, respectful, short-term overnight stays in rural spots are often tolerated. However, the safest and most convenient option is to use official sites.

• 🚐 Official Campsites

• Lithuania boasts a great network of well-maintained campsites, especially around lakes, along the coast, and near national parks. They typically offer excellent facilities, including electricity, clean bathrooms, and sometimes even saunas.
