Baobab Camp

A quiet forest stop for travellers crossing Europe

Our story

Why we created Baobab Camp

The idea for Baobab Camp came from a simple thought.

While travelling across Europe in our camper, we often talked about the kind of place we hoped to find after a long day on the road.

We weren't looking for crowds, entertainment or busy holiday parks. We were looking for peace, nature, genuine hospitality, clean and comfortable facilities, and a place where we could truly rest.

That simple idea became Baobab Camp.

Located in the heart of Europe, close to the crossroads of the continent's main travel routes, Baobab Camp is a peaceful stop for travellers heading north or south, east or west. Many of our guests stay with us for just one night before continuing their journey. Our goal is to give them a place where they can slow down, recharge and wake up refreshed for the next stage of their adventure.

Every decision we made was guided by one simple question:

Would this make us happy if we arrived here after a long day on the road?

From the very beginning, my wife had one rule:

After a long day of travelling, I want to walk into a clean, welcoming bathroom where I feel comfortable and have my privacy.

That is why we devoted so much attention to our bathrooms. We wanted them to be not only spotless, but also comfortable, peaceful and private.

The same philosophy shaped everything else at Baobab Camp - our shared kitchen, fast Wi-Fi for remote workers, the wood-fired sauna, the campfire area and spacious camper pitches surrounded by nature.

Above all, we wanted to preserve what was already here - the forest, the tranquillity and the feeling of being able to truly switch off.

Whether you are travelling as a couple, on your own, with friends, by campervan or motorcycle, or working remotely while exploring Europe, we hope you will feel at home here.

We didn't create a place for everyone.

We created the kind of place we always hoped to find ourselves.

If that sounds like your kind of stop, we will be delighted to welcome you.

Facilities

What's on site

  • Pitches

    Grass pitches with trees around them. We keep the numbers low, so there is space between you and the next van.

  • Hookup point

    One shared point on site with power, water and drainage.

  • Bathrooms

    Three in all: two reached from outside and one indoors. Two of them have a hot shower, one outside and one in.

  • Kitchen

    Fridge, oven, hob, dishwasher and a bean-to-cup coffee machine. Cook a real meal without burning your own gas.

  • Wi-Fi

    Free, and fast enough for video calls. A lot of our guests work while they travel.

  • Campfire

    A fire spot under the pavilion. You can light it in the evening, though not when the wind is up - the forest starts a few metres away.

  • Laundry

    A washing machine and a dryer in the common house.

  • Common room

    A long table, an extendable sofa and a shelf of board games. Air conditioning for the hot weeks.

  • Covered pavilion

    A roof on posts, open on all sides, with the fire spot underneath. Shade in summer and somewhere dry to sit when it rains.

The sauna

Wood-fired, with a cold plunge from the well.

The stove burns wood, so it takes a while to heat up. We light it and keep it going.

Next to it there is a cold plunge bath, a shower and a bucket. The water comes from our own well, so it is cold all year round.

Three or four people fit. We don't book it exclusively, so on a busy evening you may be sharing.

Good to know

Before you book

  • You can sometimes hear the road

    Although Baobab Camp is surrounded by forest and located about one kilometre from National Road 50, we believe in being completely honest with our guests. Most of the time, the only sounds you will hear are birds singing, the wind in the trees and the occasional owl at night. However, depending on the wind direction, traffic noise from the road can sometimes be heard. It doesn't happen often, but we'd rather set realistic expectations than promise something that nature doesn't always allow us to control.

  • A small, quiet site

    Baobab Camp is intentionally small and peaceful. It is not a holiday resort or an entertainment venue. It is a place for people who enjoy reading beneath the trees, listening to birds instead of loud music, sharing a quiet evening around the campfire and waking up to the sounds of the forest.

  • Guests aged 15 and over

    To help preserve this atmosphere, Baobab Camp is designed primarily for guests aged 15 and over. Infants and toddlers up to 2 years old are, of course, very welcome. This policy simply reflects the character of our camp and helps us provide the peaceful environment that our guests choose us for.
