  • Motorhome pitches at a family-run animal sanctuary near Škofljica
  • A 20-minute drive from central Ljubljana; Turjak Castle 25 minutes
  • Peaceful site with lovely views; meet the animals on a farm tour
What if you could have a holiday and do a bit of good for the world at the same time? Well, this is the win-win situation that’s on offer at Fairytale Sanctuary, a family-run property about 10 minutes’ drive from Škofljica. These pitches are part of a peaceful animal sanctuary that’s run as a non-profit charity, so by staying here you’ll be contributing to the welfare of the residents – that’s bound to bring a bit of added glow to your outdoor break. And of course you’ll have the chance to meet the animals while you’re staying here too, as there are daily tours of the sanctuary (English-language tours at 9:30am each day except weekends). It’s not all about doing good for the animals, however – you’ll likely be doing good for your own mood with a stay at this peaceful place, which is up on a hillside with lovely views out over the valley and surrounding pastures. It’s a fairly simple site, but guests have access to showers, toilets and water at all times, with washing machine use available on request too. The animals that live here have been rescued from the slaughterhouse, so you’ll be asked to respect that by not preparing or consuming meat, poultry or fish while on the farm. This place is all about creating a nice quiet haven for the residents, so you’re also asked to refrain from heavy drinking and loud parties, and keep your dog on a lead around the pitches (they’re not allowed in the main farm area). If a campfire is an essential part of your holiday, you’ll be pleased to hear they’re allowed here – bring your own wood or forage for scraps in the next-door forest.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its beautiful rural location, quiet atmosphere, and friendly, helpful owners who are passionate about their animals and ecological ethos. Guests enjoyed observing animals, receiving local tips, and the tranquil, welcoming environment. However, the access road is described as narrow and steep, potentially challenging for larger vehicles, and some found the facilities to be basic and hygiene minimal, with limited space on site.

Christina O.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Das familiengeführte kleine Camp besticht durch seine Lage in den Bergen mit atemberaubender Aussicht, vielen Tieren, einem kleinen Pool und absoluter Gastfreundlichkeit. Wer Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht ist hier ideal aufgehoben. Dieser Platz ist nichts für Wohnmobilisten und dies sollte auch respektiert werden. Ein Paradies für Kinder. Unsere Tochter hat sich hier keine Sekunde gelangweilt.
Steckt einfach mal eure Handys weg und genießt die Zeit hier. 🙏🏻

Disliked Nichts 😉

Fosca P.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Una bellissima atmosfera in un bellissimo posto dove i protagonisti solo gli animali e la cura per quest'ultimi da parte dei proprietari. La zona campeggio è piccola ma ha tutto ciò che serve: bagno e doccia puliti, una piccola piscina, e uno spazio comune riparato dove poter lavare le proprie stoviglie.

Disliked nulla.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked An amazing campsite with amazing owners. We pitched our tent next to the cows where we could look over the hill and spot animals. Go here if you like quieteness, nature and animals. The owners gave amazing information about what to do in the surrounding. If I go back to Slovenia I would definitely come here again.

Route directions

Located on a hill, the curvy, narrow road is manageable even for a long trailer or a large mobile home (9+ metres) as it is well-paved. Do not drive on the gravel roads. In the village, turn right at the stone wall with a cross on top.

Local attractions

This part of Slovenia has some splendid hiking and bike paths for those who’d like to get out and explore some of the scenery. Ask on site for recommendations of suitable trails, or details of other local activities such as horse riding, paintballing or watersports. It’s worth remembering that the sights are not all above ground either – you can get a good insight into what lurks under the surface at Županova jama cave (25 minutes’ drive), which has seven underground caverns with amazing rock formations. A little further along the road (or 25 minutes’ direct drive) is the restored Turjak Castle, home to a puppet theatre and a collection of military items. From this fairly central location most of Slovenia should be accessible – but if you only have time for one trip, it should be to Ljubljana (20 minutes) to walk through the Old Town, cross the Triple Bridge and climb to the castle.
