"Old town within easy walking distance - Well located city - CP, about 700 m into the old town of Vilnius, hence the much too high price, better suited as a parking space for campers, 6-7 small pitches with electricity in the parking lot, simple sanitary facilities in the associated hostel,

"More hostel than campsite - The campsite fulfills its purpose and is certainly better than other city campsites. However, the tent area (in the hostel garden) is rather sparse and uncomfortable. The facilities in the hostel serve as sanitary facilities. Toilets are old and smell bad. Showers are ok. Kitchen is available and well equipped. You can sit behind the building, have a barbecue and a drink. Very cozy.

"Absolutely recommendable CP; extremely friendly and helpful management - just a few minutes from the campsite in the beautiful old town; run by young, friendly and helpful people; everything is really clean and there is also electricity at the pitches; there are enough toilets for campers next to the pitches; use the showers and washbasins in the hostel building for showering and washing (access via number code); no noise or major congestion in the sanitary facilities despite good guest occupancy rate

"Hostel with small CP close to the city center - It is actually a hostel in a well-preserved, large old building (villa/former school?) The building is set back from the road. The grounds are fenced in. You can camp on the meadow in front of the house and there are 5-6 parking spaces for camper vans in the parking lot. The meadow has old trees and there are covered seating areas. The location is great. It is quiet in the surrounding area and you can still walk to the old town of Vilnius in 10 minutes. As a camper, you can use the sanitary facilities in the hostel, which are spread throughout the building. The showers/toilets are simple and obviously built by the campers themselves from a DIY store. Nevertheless, they are adequate and, above all, clean. There are always 2 showers in one sanitary room. The partitions are rather poor. The standard is that of a hostel. Overall, there could be a few more showers. The crowd is always very young. The whole atmosphere is relaxed and very cozy. You receive a very friendly welcome, are given information about Vilnius and have WiFi. If you like, you can order breakfast. You can end the evening comfortably with a glass of wine/beer. We felt very comfortable. However, you should definitely book in advance as there are really few places!!! You can also do this from Germany by email. Then you have to pay for an overnight stay in advance by bank transfer. This worked out without any problems for us.

Description

Profile

Camping within 10 min walk to the city very very center is really something of unbelievable, but it is truth! Downtown Forest Hostel & Camping is located down the hill of the very city center, in the artistic part of …Vilnius called Užupis. Main tourist spots are within a slow-walk distance: city hall (10 min), cathedral (15 min), bus&train station (20 min). Plenty of green areas around: newly opened park (9 min), river and ponds (3 min). And of course the Republic of Užupis just meters away. We call ourselves a forest, because we are located in a big house is surrounded by trees and some extra space for camping. 5 caravan/camper places are located on tarmac, while all with tents can find a spot on the grass. We are passionate about traveling and about our city. Just ask and we will advice you what to see and do!
