  • Family-friendly site on the shores of scenic Lake Shkodra
  • Guided day trips to cities, mountains and national parks from the site
  • Swimming, watersports, fishing and birdwatching from a sandy beach
Skimming across the water, paddling along the beach and casting out lines… bliss, no? Row on over to Lake Shkodra Resort, a family-friendly site five minutes’ drive from the small settlement of Grilë and 15 minutes from the city of Shkodër, where activities revolve around the lake… and rightly so. Lake Shkodra is the largest in the Balkans, and the water is calm and warm enough to make it simply fab for swimming and watersports. Guests kayaking, canoeing, rowing and windsurfing are regular sights on the water, and canoes, stand-up paddleboards and pedalos are available for hire from reception, so there are no excuses (other than a chronic fear of water) for not diving in. There’s loads to do for those who prefer to stay dry too: a sandy beach is well placed for lakeside strolls, the lake is well-stocked for rod fishing, and the site’s also a top spot for birdwatching, with more than 200 species of bird in one of the largest reserves in Europe. Keen twitchers should keep eyes peeled for cormorants, pelicans, owls, sombre tits, red-rumped swallows and flocks and flocks more. A restaurant by the beach serves up traditional Albanian eats to titillate taste buds, as well as pizza, homegrown organic veggies, and grilled seafood and meat… and even more options in Shkodër if none of that gets mouths watering. For a change of scenery, get out and about with guided tours leaving the site for Shkodër, Lake Koman, Kruja, Thethi, Vermosh and Valbona, with boat trips, hikes, bazaars and castles as added enticements – some of the tours are multi-day, so be sure to pack an overnight bag just in case.

What customers say

Spacious, shaded sites by Lake Shkodra. Friendly, multilingual staff, great restaurant, and spotless facilities are highlights. Lake entry can be stony, mini-mart limited, and evening entertainment lacking. Highly recommended for service and charm.

Power optional grass and gravel tent site

Liked Pitches are good and there‘s enough shadow on hot days. Sunbeds are free and were always available.

Disliked I got heavy cramps and diarrhea from the seafood at the restaurant. The owner didn’t care and simply told me that no one else had complained so I must be wrong. No „Are you better now?“, no „I‘m sorry“. This could have been handled better. Also the price was much higher than on Pitchup. Very unprofessional and shady handling.

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked Ein unglaublich schöner Campingplatz. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, sprachbegabt und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Alleine die Aussicht auf den See war spektakulär. Wir kommen jederzeit wieder.

Disliked Es gibt keine großartige negative Beurteilung, das einzige was vielleicht zu bemängeln wäre, ist das es keine richtigen Fahrradwege in der Umgebung gibt. Aber auch das tut dem ganzen keinen Abbruch.

Power optional grass and gravel tent site

Liked We hebben een mooie plek onder de bomen gekregen. De mensen van de camping zijn vriendelijk en goed bereikbaar. Camping is prachtig gelegen aan het meer. Het sanitair wordt heel goed bijgehouden. Het restaurant biedt voldoende afwisseling aan gerechten. We zijn blij met de keuze aan salades.

Disliked Ik was niet blij met de kitten gaf veel overlast en vond ik niet fijn.
Plek niet geschikt voor een tent er word te veel rekening gehouden met campers en caravans

Power optional grass and gravel caravan site

Liked Everything - beautiful location right on the banks of Lake Shkodra. Amazing views of thd pristine landscape of this area. The lake provides a welcome relief from the current heatwave temperatures. Safe swimming without any crowds or speedboats to disturb the experience. The facilities were immaculate, toilet cubicles include sinks and there is also an accessible shower and toilet cubical. Pitches are a good sixe and a vine canopy provides ample shade. We ate at the returant twice and experienced great service and good local food. One of the best sites we have been to.

Local attractions

If explores without guides or other guests appeal, Shkodër is an essential first stop. It’s the oldest city in Albania – it’s been around a whopping 2,400 years – and there’s plenty here to keep the whole family entertained, from the stunning Lead Mosque and Rozafa Castle to the 17th-century Ottoman Mes Bridge and the immense collection of photos at the Marubi National Museum. For nature-filled wanders, start with hikes an hour and a half’s drive away in Maranai Park, then venture on to the fjords of Lake Koman, trails at Vermosh and Thethi in the Albanian Alps and (if four hours of driving isn’t too much of a turn-off) spectacularly scenic adventures in Valbonë Valley National Park. A return to urban days is recommended for treks around the bazaar, castle, national museums and pretty streets of Krujë and a two-hour journey to the Albanian capital of Tirana is a must for a taste of big-city museums, castles, mosques, historical walking areas and – of course – shopping.
