Camping Legjenda

- Attractive and art-filled riverside site on the south side of Shkodër
- Five minutes' drive from the city centre; short walk to Rozafa Castle
- Cosy restaurant, unusual pool and observation tower on site
Welcome to what could reasonably be described as Shkodër’s sweet spot… On the south side of the city, where the Buna and Drin rivers meet, and with Rozafa Castle towering above, Camping Legjenda is a family-friendly site in a fabulously scenic location.
Whether you’re looking out to the river and forest or up to the castle, the views here are spectacular – particularly if you climb the site’s observation tower for a bit of extra elevation. And being just a little way outside of the city centre (five minutes’ drive or a 40-minute walk) means that there’s plenty of space on site – space that’s been filled with trees for shade and arty installations for a touch of colour and culture.
Speaking of arty installations, that approach even extends to the swimming pool – probably quite unlike any other you’ve ever seen, with a circular design topped by a floating gazebo lounge. It’s quite the stylish spot to chill out in after a day of exploring the city. A long day out might also finish with a massage or a home-cooked meal in the cosy restaurant (or out on the terrace if it’s a warm day). Other leisure facilities on site include bike hire, a play area and a volleyball court.
As for the practicalities, they’re all sorted too – you’ll have access to a kitchen, a barbecue area, a wifi service and drinking water as well as showers and toilets. Reception staff can also help you organise tours of the castle and the local countryside.

Local attractions
You’ll have to start with a trip to Rozafa Castle, of course – up on top of a hill, it dominates the skyline on site and is sure to tempt you into a closer look. It’s a bit of a steep climb on the half-hour walk, but the views as you go up are spectacular, looking out over Shkodër and Lake Shkodër (and there’s a car park up towards the top for those that want to make the outing a little easier).
After that it’s probably a stroll around Shkodër city centre (five minutes’ drive), taking in the historic architecture, visiting museums like the Site of Witness and Memory and Shkodër History Museum and stopping off in cafés and restaurants.
If you’ve got a little more time, head out into the countryside – perhaps for a swim, a boat trip or some birdwatching at Lake Shkodër (10 minutes) or a visit to the Ottoman-era Mesi Bridge (20 minutes). There are lots of nice cycling trails through local villages and along the riverside as well, and hikes in Theth National Park (an hour and a half).
