CAMPING & MOTORHOME CAMPING IN GEORGIA




With breathtaking and diverse nature, Georgia is the great choice for those who love camping.
Here you can set up a tent or park your camper car or a motorhome pretty much anywhere you desire, or better to say anywhere you can reach - At the seaside, high up in the mountains, by the lake, in the street or even under the bridge.
There are no legal or any kind of safety restrictions for camping. Anyone can feel free to set up a tent anywhere they find interesting or comfortable and there are many spots all over the country where apart from beautiful sceneries at the camping spot you will find free running fresh drinking water  and sometimes even old village style toilets.
The country's rural areas are mostly full of very cheap guesthouses which will offer you affordable homestays for a cheap price but almost all will also eagerly let you set up a tent in their own private property for a symbolic price and it will include use of their indoor toilet and shower facilities (dont forget to feel free to negotiate), usually one can even have a tasty authentic homemade breakfast for a small extra.
