  • Peaceful, well-maintained site surrounded by forests and karsts
  • A 25-minute drive to the Postojna Caves and 35 to Predjama Castle
  • Bike loans, garden, shared kitchen, wifi, sun terrace and barbecue
Whether it’s the break of dawn or any other time of day, The Sunrise Hill in Slovenia’s southern Pivka Basin is always a pretty place to unwind: this family-run business less than a five-minute walk from the tiny village of Drskovče is in the middle of a wildlife-rich area with karst-studded scenery on one side and thick forest on the other. A touch further out, the setting’s also filled with intermittent lakes and rivers that dry up in some seasons and get replaced with wildflower meadows, so you’ll see it from a different perspective depending on what time of year you hike around the region (or cycle using the free bikes from the park). In the summertime, bookend countryside tours with leisurely times watching the Icelandic horses at the ranch next door to the park grazing in green pastures. For other sights in the Slovenian surrounds, one of the top attractions in the nation, the Postojna Cave system, is about 20 minutes’ drive away: access the complex on a tour and stop by an underground space that can fit up to 10,000 people – and has done during certain musical performances… More caves are around 10 minutes further on underneath Predjama Castle, a structure set on a cliff 123 metres above the ground; another stately place – Kalec Castle – is closer to the park (five minutes’ drive). Back on a lower level, the site has a garden and sun terrace for idling in while using the free wifi, and a shared kitchen and barbecue as well if you’re too hungry for a rest. Ingredients can be picked up from the town of Pivka (five minutes’ drive).

This cozy campsite offers stunning views & a welcoming vibe. Guests loved the spotless, well-equipped kitchen & good facilities, including an outdoor shower. Ideal for exploring nearby caves. Some noted limited shade & no chemical toilet disposal, but overall, it's a clean, quiet spot with helpful staff. Cash only.

Liked We waren blij met de gastvrijheid op de camping. En ook dat we onze boeking om konden gooien naar een huisje, voor 1 nacht, omdat het zo ging stormen. Het uitzicht was geweldig en het was lekker rustig.

Liked Tout. La gentillesse des hôtes. Le site, paisible et superbe. La proximité des grottes de Postonja et du château de Predjama. A 1h seulement du littoral.
Les douches extérieures en bois adorables. La possibilité d'utiliser la cuisine et tous ses ustensiles.
Bref. Tout !

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Ottimo campeggio, piccolino e molto intimo. Servizi puliti, non molti ma abbastanza per la dimensione del campeggio. Cucina comune molto fornita con due frigoriferi disponibili. Molti giochi per bambini e possibilità di tenere l'auto vicino alla tenda. Il campeggio è cash only, non è un grosso problema ma non mi pare sia segnalato nella descrizione. Presente la lavatrice utilizzabile chiedendo in reception.

Disliked L'unica cosa negativa è la mancanza di un lavatoio.

Local attractions

If you’re keen for a wander around water, try Petelinje Lake and Lake Palčje, both 15 minutes away, which dry up in certain seasons yet are still stellar spots for strolling even when the ground’s arid… For indoor meandering, try the Military History Park (10 minutes’ drive from the site) to see old tanks, submarines and aircraft built for warfare; exhibits on the international armies are also at this well-regarded complex. Looking to learn more about Slovenia’s bygone days? The capital city of Ljubljana is 50 minutes’ drive away from the site.
