We arrived in Nida hoping to find a hostel room but were told that only the "Nidos Kampinas" had still places for travellers. So we tried to call them and a lady answered. ||So I started the conversation and asked if they indeed still had tents spots, and she said "Only German, no English" and... hung up on me!||||We decided to walk there (20minutes away from the actual village of Nida) to see for ourselves and arrived at the reception and saw that pretty rude fat blonde lady that would still refuse to talk to us because we could not speak German (or Russian). After insisting a bit, she gave us a tent spot and... all the information we needed in English. It clearly did bother to help us out because we were not Lithuanian or german speakers.||||So anyway we went to find a spot and actually found out this "camping" was just a gigantic chaotic patchwork of tents, cars and whatnot, all on a dirty sandy ground. ||After being installed, we walked around a bit and it started to rain loads. We came back to the camping finding out all of the tent spots were flooded including ours. Our stuffs were a bit wet and dirty, we tried to clean them but to wash your clothes, you have to pay six euros to get the access to one ancient washing machine and a pretty much pre-historic dryer, that's all they have for like at least 400 campers.||||With the rain coming, the dirtiness followed, everything was full of mud: the kitchen (including the tables somehow), the toilets (which stank more than anything I had ever smelled in my life) and the showers.||Showers which have no actual doors, so I hope you enjoy staring at old people's naked butts.||||I guess if the weather is "nice" (which does not happen often in that very part of Lithuania) I guess you could have a nice stay, but everything was so freaking disgusting it was properly awful, the staff clearly does not give a damn about the campers and prefer to focus on the few people renting flats and bungalows. ||||The camping itself is also pretty noisy, full of youth that drink till late and scream all night long, of course there is no evidence of staff doing anything, so they just carry on and on and on. Well at least, they had a good stay.||||I would avoid this camping place at any cost, the only positive points being its closeness to the beach and to the nice dunes....
Read moreThe campsite is located perfectly. In both directions there are beautiful beaches and dunes just a few min away. The town is also easy to reach by foot within about 15 min. When we stayed there at mid September the site was quiet and not very crowded. The lots are very small and very close together so it’s easy to imagine how loud and crowded it must be at high season. What I really don’t want to imagine is what the bathrooms must look like when its crowded. Even now, they were filthy. Although the facilities are quite new, the dirt was obviously old. Over the three nights we spent they were not cleaned once, which is especially irritating during COVID-19 times... The kitchen was also not exactly clean and the sinks are really horrible as they are so deep that they are about knee height, destroying every back, even if you’re not very tall. The reception was closed when we arrived, but everything could be done over the phone an we paid (30€ for the 1st two nights and 26€ for the 3rd night) a day later when someone of the staff was there. Every interaction with them was very friendly. We did find it quite expensive especially for the state the facilities but since it’s the only campsite, what...
Read moreWe stayed at Nidos Kempingas, which is just outside Nida which is just a few km from the Russian border (Kaliningrad region). Nidos Kempingas is a campsite, with a nice bar / restaurant and some accomodation. We camped in a lovely spot in the trees. First class camping facilities with plenty of benches/tables, clean showers, toilets and a food preparation area with kettles and warming rings. We had good beer in the restaurant and the food looked very good (although we did not eat). We also had an electric hookup. The campsite is expensive. We paid 78 lats for one night. There is wifi around the camp, for a reasonable 3 lats for 24 hours. The town of Nida is about 20 mins walk and the famous sunclock on the big sand dune. It is a beautiful area and the campsite had a very nice ambience. Recommended and would go back. Note to reach the peninsula from Lithuania you need a ferry from Klaipeda (40 lats) and pay the park entry fee of 20 lats. The campsite is about 50km from the...
