  • Family campsite by the side of Lake Velenje in the Šaleška Valley
  • A 20-minute drive to Varpolje, and 25 minutes to Funpark Menina
  • Watersports, hiking and cycling from site; restaurant and play area
Roll up outdoorsy types, for Camp Velenje borders Lake Velenje in the mountain-ringed Šaleška Valley; from the site you have direct access to windsurfing and paddleboarding, hiking and cycling… and that’s before you hear about the fishing, sailing and climbing facilities nearby as well. Yes, Camp Velenje makes a handy base for active families, but equally, if you’re after a relaxing break doing very little at all, then it’s easy to grab a deckchair by the lake and snooze in the sun. Spread over 7.5 acres of woodland and fields, the site has grass pitches partly or totally shaded by trees, and each has access to electricity and direct proximity to drinking water. Hire watersports gear and book tuition at Zoo Station down by the lake. Try your hand at windsurfing or paddleboarding – take the latter one step further by joining yoga classes on your board. If you’d care to explore the surrounding area, reception staff can organise expert hiking and cycling guides for bespoke tours. A word of advice here: if you’re cycling, take the electric-bike option as the region is pretty hilly. Overdone it on the sporting front? Get rid of any muscle aches with a soothing massage back at the site. Hungry after all your exercise? Tuck into the à la carte menu at the terrace restaurant as you admire the views of Lake Velenje. Right next-door is a large kids’ playground, allowing parents to keep an eye on their progeny while downing a decent cup of coffee.

Liked: Schöne neue Anlage mit vielen Bäumen (die zwar noch wachsen müssen aber ein paar alte Bäume sind bereits vorhanden)

Disliked: Duschen im Sanitärgebäude falsch konzipiert: Wasser läuft überall rum - auch Duschwasser der Nachbarkabine in die eigene rüber. Überall nass. Keine Bank zum ablegen von Dingen. Spinnennester unter der Decke nicht so schön. Schade, das man nicht direkt vom Campingplatz an den See kommt (Türen waren zugekettet).

Liked: Beautiful setting by the lake. Very clean showers/toilets. No set pitches, so pick where you want to be.

Disliked: Not enough hook up points. Had to move from chosen spot, couldn't connect at first. Site resident on camp didn't like us moving next to them, walked straight through our set up to washrooms, could have walked round. Just being awkward. Put up breaker, soon stopped that.

Liked: Milý personal v recepci.

Disliked: Kemp je pouze oplocene místo, není v něm nic hezkého. Vše je na zámek, na toaletu člověk musí s naramkem, být je uvnitř oplocení. Příslušenství není příliš příjemné ani čisté, ve sprchach k vám teče špína od souseda.

Disliked: Ik denk dat door de site van Pitch up een totaal verkeerd beeld gegeven wordt van deze camping. De camping is gelegen op het industrieterrein van Velenje. De camping wordt beoordeeld met vier sterren. Dit is veel te veel. Op de camping is niets behalve een sanitair gebouw. De camping ligt gelegen aan een meer maar is met een fietspad en hekken afgeschermd. Er wordt aangegeven dat er veel te doen is. Dit hebben wij niet ervaren. Alleen een opblaasbaan in het water en verder was er niets open. Naast de camping liggen een aantal strandtenten. Waar je wel leuk kan zitten. Het meest vervelende is de stank van de kolenfabriek naast de camping. De camping is daarnaast voor het geen dat je krijgt enorm duur.

Liked: Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter.

Disliked: Zaun zwischen Gelände und See. Wurde vorher nicht kommuniziert. Sehr laute Baustelle unmittelbar neben den Stellplätzen. Fahrradverleih sehr teuer. Die von mir gezahlte Anzahlung an pitchup wurde nicht mit dem Rechnungsbetrag verrechnet. Ich zahlte also 15 % Commission an pitchup - das war mir bei Buchung nicht klar. Ich werde nie mehr bei pitchup buchen.

Not my cup of tea, but families with kids may find it appealing.

Liked: Proximity to the lake for swimming and water sports, on-site restaurant and other eating options close by. Friendly staff. A much more relaxed vibe outside of the weekend period. Some good cycling and hiking trails direct from the site or within a short distance.

Disliked: Proximity to the lake - the weekend features a party vibe with loud DJ music and other pumped out "noise" from the various attractions. Great if you're a local teenager less so if you are on the campsite looking for a relaxing holiday. Toilet and shower facilities were insufficient for the volume of people over a weekend, the showers were poorly drained with dirty water running in to adjacent cubicles. The website description and photos are misleading, there is nowhere near enough shade so most pitches would be in full or partial sun. An inadequate amount of electrical hook-ups, cables running long distances trailing across roads and walkways. Pitches are not properly delineated so can get cramped and there is little to no privacy provided by hedging or suchlike. A long way from town or any other attractions.

Local attractions

As well as all sorts of watersports on the lake, tennis, beach volleyball, football and horse riding are all to be found within 10 minutes’ drive of Camp Velenje. Anyone looking for more adrenaline-inducing pursuits should head for Varpolje (20 minutes’ drive) for paragliding – tandem or solo – at sunset, canyoning and whitewater-rafting on the Savinja River. Family adventures include zorbing, zipwires and bushcraft lessons at Funpark Menina (25 minutes). For a more leisurely day out, pick up a picnic from Velenge supermarkets (five minutes) and head for the colourful botanic gardens at riverside Mozirski gaj (15 minutes), where you can picnic by the Savinja and tour traditional wooden Slovene farmhouses, windmills and cottages. Staying closer to Lake Velenge, learn about local industrial heritage through displays of machinery and guided tunnel tours at The Coal Mining Museum of Slovenia, catch an open-air concert at Vista Park (both 15 minutes’ walk) or climb up to its viewing platform to admire the lake fringed by mountains.
