  • Well-kept grass pitches in northern Albania’s Theth National Park
  • Kisha e Thethit church 15 minutes’ drive; Grunas waterfall 20 minutes
  • Restaurant, shop and launderette on site, plus mountain views
An immaculately maintained lawn with expansive mountain views in the distance: not too shabby a location to spend your holiday, right? And that’s exactly what awaits at Camping Freskia. This peaceful, family-friendly site in northern Albania’s Shkodër County is in Theth National Park – and boy, does it deliver the wow factor when it comes to setting and scenery. You can step out of your accommodation in the morning to be greeted by glorious views of the forested slopes and rugged peaks of the Albanian Alps, and the Lumi i Thethit river below. Before a day of hiking, you can fortify yourself with a traditional breakfast at the restaurant, which also serves a range of meals at dinnertime. You’ll probably be grateful for the on-site catering, for this spot is pretty isolated: Theth, the nearest village, is 20 minutes’ drive away on the rather gnarly SH21 road, with its hairpin turns and unpaved stretches (although there are also a couple of restaurants within a 20-minute drive). And there is lots more to be grateful for here, including a toilet block, hot-water showers (including disabled facilities), drinkable water, a launderette and a washing-up area, not to mention friendly owners who are on hand to provide information on the local sights. Barbecues are supplied, and a small shop on site sells local produce, so you and your family (and your dog, who is welcome here) can settle down for an evening of grilling, relaxing and taking in the spectacle of the night sky.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: the operators of the campsite are very nice and helpful. In the main building there is a bar-restaurant offering basic meals and a few drinks (we didn't try). We also liked the quietness and the awesome view

Disliked: Personally, I didn't like - but this is not a problem of the campsite, but of the guests staying there - the possessive behaviour.A few tents were pitched next to shelters with seating and a view, and the whole stay they pretended that it was automatically theirs, while the others were sitting on the grass or their own camping chairs.

Local attractions

You’ll be in the middle of Theth National Park here, so get exploring those mountains covered with oak and beech forests. Although brown bears and grey wolves live in these woods, you’re much more likely to come across roe deer and wild goats during your hikes. You might also catch a glimpse of a swooping golden eagle. Across the river, dwarfed by the dramatic mountainous landscape, is the pretty 19th-century church of Kisha e Thethit (15 minutes’ drive), with its typically alpine architecture of stone walls and sloping wooden roofs. A short stroll further south takes you to the Reconciliation Tower, where disputes among villagers were once settled. This area is also known for its many cascades, including the dramatic Grunas waterfall (20 minutes), with water falling down a sheer rock face from a height of 25m into a boulder-dotted pond where you can have a swim – if you can brave the rather chilly temperature, that is.
