  • Wild camping on a sustainable farm 55 minutes' drive from Ljubljana
  • Zoo Park Ranč Aladin 25 minutes’ drive; Steklas Trail 35 minutes
  • Resident horses and educational tours; barbecue provided; dogs welcome
Sitting on a south-facing hill almost at the geographical centre of Slovenia – a 25-minute drive from Litija (to the north west), Ivančna Gorica (to the south west) and Trebnje (to the south east) – Ranch Lambergar is a great base from which to explore this green Balkan country. This family-friendly site, which extends across 16.5 hectares of meadow and forest, is part of a farm devoted to sustainable agriculture and nature preservation. The owners grow their own food, including a collection of heirloom varieties of fruit and vegetables, and they also run educational activities such as greenhouse tours. This is no resort; across the wilderness area at night, you might hear deer, donkeys, owls and crickets, but no traffic. If you’re into animals more than plants, you can learn all about the rare Slovenian domestic animals who live on site, and get up close and personal with the resident horses and donkeys. Your canine companion is a welcome guest here, but please be mindful of the resident beasties and other guests. There are no pre-assigned pitches, so park your car at the entrance of the ranch and take a walk around to locate the perfect spot for you. If you’re passionate about all things equestrian, you might want to set up in the horse paddock; maybe you’ll prefer to be pond-side or choose a pitch with views of the hills (and all the way to Croatia). In addition to a composting toilet, an outdoor solar shower, an outdoor sink for washing dishes and a barbecue, there are no artificial lights on site. The site owners are happy to provide an assortment of items and tools for their guests, so feel free to ask if you need anything. Ever obliging, they will also pick you up from the nearest public transport stop, if you’re travelling without your own vehicle.

What customers say

Chill farm stay, lots of friendly animals. Lovely views & hosts. Basic facilities (composting loos, outdoor showers) some love, some find a bit exposed. Tricky access, minor facility/price gripes, but overall authentic & relaxing.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked The location and its surroundings are remarkably peaceful and serene. While it offers essential amenities, they were perfectly adequate for our needs. If I ever come back to Slovenia,I would certainly stay here again.

The owners were exceptionally kind and provided invaluable assistance with everything. I recommend this ranch to anyone considering a visit.

Kasper B.

Power optional grass tent site

Liked Very peaceful and beautiful farm. There’s lots of farm animals like horses, chickens, donkeys, geese and goats in pens that you can go pet if you’d like but you can also avoid them. The owners are very nice and welcoming. The cats are amazing and friendly. We also bought some very cheap and very nice eggs from their chickens and the owners lit a campfire in the evening. We had free access to toilet and a sink with water and a small kitchen area with a gas stove and some pots and pans. We didn’t use the showers but they are available.

Disliked The toilet is a primitive outdoor toilet - It is clean and well kept but some people might dislike this. It is a bit difficult to get to the place but the drive is fun.

Power optional grass tent site (no cars)

Liked The landscape is very nice, so is the mood. No mosquitoes.

Disliked Outdoor showers that are very inconvenient for women as everyone is watching.

Moreover the owner charged us for two tents when they are individual and take less total space than a big tent for a group of 10 people. Which means that we payed more than a group of ten people when we are two.

From the manager: Dear Johanny, thanks for your review. You are right about the shower, but if you read the description of our site you will see that the shower is exactly as described. We are also working on a proper closed shower as well as a toilet block and launderette.
Lets explain the pitch situation again. You booked 1 tent pitch, by the lowest price. On this pitch you can have one tent. In that one tent 2 people are included in the price and up to 3 can be extras. That means anywhere from 1 to 5 people can stay in this one tent. You put up two tents. You should have either booked an extra tent or an extra tent pitch. You were simply given a bill for what you forgot to book and that even with a 10% discount. We wish for you all the best.

Herbert S.

Power optional grass caravan site

Liked naturverbundenes Camp

Disliked recht ungepflegt, für Zelt zum Caravan sollten wir 16€ pro Tag extra bezahlen obwohl laut Beschreibung inklusive. Tierhaltung teilweise bedenklich Pferd steht alleine auf der Koppel... Wegbeschreibung nicht korrekt - alle Wege von der A2 von Süden kommend sind nur mit Maximalbreite 2,3 m erlaubt. Nur die Zufahrt von Litija ist mit breiteren Fahrzeugen erlaubt.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Mr. Herbert you are a LIAR! You put an extra tent and agreed on the first day that you will pay for it but you RAN away without paying a cent! All the other guests saw you! We have already reported you to Pitchup. We can't believe you even have the nerve to post this review! Yes, we allow one pup tent and one awning for free. But the tent you put up was a tent for sleeping in. Please pay the money that you own us!

Liked Abbiamo trovato pace, tranquillità e serenità durante il nostro soggiorno nel campeggio. Oltre ad aver avuto degli spazi puliti e curati, nonché all'ombra, abbiamo assaggiato la loro verdura e la loro frutta, tra cui degli ottimi succhi di frutta fatti in casa.
Ringraziamo i proprietari per la loro disponibilità e gentilezza e consigliamo vivamente il campeggio a chi vuole vivere a stretto contatto con la natura.

Route directions

If arriving via the A2 highway, it is best to avoid taking the exit for Bič – this is often suggested by satnavs but it has some extremely narrow sections and a low underpass so is not suitable for anyone driving anything larger than a car. Instead, take the exit for either Trebnje-Zahod (travelling via Novo Mesto) or Ivančna Gorica (via Ljubljana) as these are more suitable roads for large vehicles. By public transport, take the train to Litija and then take a bus towards Gabrovka (five times daily, Monday-Friday). Disembark at the bus stop in Moravče – from there it's a hike of 4 km (or pick-up can be arranged if requested in advance).

Local attractions

Wolves, camels and kangaroos are among the residents at Zoo Park Ranč Aladin (25 minutes’ drive). Children can take part in get-to-know sessions with their animal of choice, have a go at archery or expend some energy in the playground, with climbing frames and swings. Among the great hikes in the area is the Steklas Trail (35 minutes), which you can follow all the way up to the top of Nebesa (a 600-metre mountain covered in forest). Your efforts will be rewarded with views across sloping vineyards, the Mirna Valley and the peaks of southern Slovenia. Anchored by the massive Tivoli Park (and the wooded slopes of Roznik Hill beyond), and dominated by a hilltop medieval castle, Ljubljana (55 minutes) is a lively university city. The large pedestrianised centre is dotted with cafés, restaurants and bars, and museums include the popular House of Illusions.
