  • Peaceful Montenegro campsite on a family wine estate in Bandici
  • Podgorica 20 minutes’ drive; Ostrog Orthodox Monastery 45 minutes
  • Restaurant and meal delivery service; wine and rakija tasting
Whether you’re travelling north to Montenegro’s Dinaric Alps, south to the Adriatic coast or just really fancy the idea of sightseeing in Podgorica, Purple Eye Estate - Camp and Winery is a handy place to make your base for all sorts of outings. It’s easily accessible for overnight pit stops, being five minutes’ drive from the main road, and set in spectacular countryside 20 minutes’ drive from the capital city for longer stays. Part of a family wine estate in the sleepy village of Bandici, the tree-shaded pitches are a few minutes’ stroll from Matica Creek and Purple Eye Lake. If you’re yearning to get out and about exploring the local area, you can rent bikes, go horse riding or hiking directly from your pitch. Canoes can also be hired for paddles on the lakes. When you’d rather relax on site, simply fix up a coffee to enjoy on the spacious terrace or balcony, and maybe pick a fresh fig from a nearby tree for breakfast. The owners can organise tastings of top-quality wines and rakija (local grappa) from their vineyard, or the sampling of organic foods from their gardens and farm. They can also deliver your breakfast, lunch or dinner (for an extra charge and if ordered in advance), and there are a couple of green restaurants within walking distance. Beside wine tasting and lots of eating, there’s a large outdoor area for relaxing, playing table tennis, football or volleyball with the kids and enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings. Facilities on site include hot showers and an alfresco kitchen with cooking utensils provided.

What customers say

This friendly, welcoming spot amongst the vines is perfect for exploring the region. Campers loved the clean facilities, big sunshades and tasty on-site wine. The helpful host, Marko, made for an amazing stay – highly recommended! Just a heads-up, there's a limited number of bathrooms.

Power optional grass site

Liked Peaceful and quiet, good wifi connection, friendly host.
The toilet and shower are clean.

Disliked There was only one shower and toilet for men and women for the whole campsite, so some had to wait when occupied.
The restaurant was hit and miss on the first night it was open, but not on the second night. I thought the homemade cheesecake was a little expensive at 10 euros for two slices. The cooking area could do with a good clean. More electric hook-up required.

From the manager: Dear Mr. And Mrs Robert W.,

I believe that your comment do not reflect the fact of the level of services we have provided, as well as we do not find it fair.
First of all, we as the family with long tradition producing wine (almost 5 generations) recognized by the state with awards for quality of wine and houshold services, do everything with passion and love, putting a lot of effort to make lovely stay to each and every guest (camper) on site, with no exceptions.

On our premises we have 3 bathrooms with showers (not 2 as you stated) and also outside shower between fig threes.

When it comes to food preparing, my mother cooks, so it is not typical restaurant with working hours is rather national homecooked meals on demand with personal chef signature, that every guest here never had complained about. It was available during entire your stay.

Also, you had a pistaccio cake with most expensive igrediants, that is only avalaible when there is some birthday or other occasion in my family and we make extra for the guests. In the town you would not find such a piece of cake less than 8 euros.

Besides, we have plenty of electric hook ups closeby and also with extension from the basement. I dont think we had any complains so far for that, and everyone gets power if needed, included in the price of stay, with no extra charge for consumption.

Also we find extremely unfair grade of 1/10 for cleanless, having in mind that my parents, my brother and myself wipe the toiltettes few times on daily base.

However, you have the right to rate and have your opinion, when it comes to us we will try do our best to make comfortable stay to each and every guest here, with the best hospitality that comes from love towards this job.

We wish you all the best on the road and in life 😀

Best regards,
Sekulic family

Liked Lovely quiet location amongst the vines. Good location for visiting the Oströg Monastery & Podgorica. Clean facilities and big sunshades to provide shade.

Disliked Only two bathrooms (male & female) each containing the toilet, washbasin & shower so go to the loo before you get desperate & another camper is having a shower!!

Local attractions

Head up into the mountains to admire the dazzling white facades of Ostrog Orthodox Monastery (45 minutes’ drive), built into a sheer cliff face in the 16th century and famed for its caves glittering with religious mosaics. Almost as spectacular are the far-reaching views over Bjelopavlici Plain from the terrace in front of the monastery. Surrounded by jagged limestone peaks, Lake Skadar National Park (40 minutes) is a top destination for birders, who may get to see Dalmatian pelicans and pygmy cormorants, egrets and eagles. Hiking trails lead up into the mountains to abandoned monasteries and fortresses, or you can hire kayaks for paddles on the lake itself. Podgorica (20 minutes) has lots of Soviet architecture to see, including the concrete, bunker-like Church of the Holy Heart of Jesus. Catch modern art in the Contemporary Art Museum in Park Petrovica, go shopping for souvenirs along Vučedolska Street and wind up your visit to the city with a strong coffee in Njegošev Park.
