Camping Calatorul

Tucked away in the heart of the Apuseni Mountains in Grohoțele, Romania, Camping Călătorul is a charming and eco-friendly retreat for nature lovers and camping enthusiasts. Run by a young Dutch family with a passion for outdoor living and hospitality, this small-scale campsite offers a back-to-basics experience with thoughtful comforts and stunning natural surroundings.

The campsite accommodates up to 15 tents and 8 campervans, making it a cozy, intimate spot rather than a crowded holiday park. Due to the terrain, it’s best suited for campervans no longer than 6 meters. This limitation contributes to the tranquil atmosphere and connection with nature that guests love. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with the family, you’ll find space and serenity here.

Essential facilities are located in a renovated traditional barn, where you'll find hot showers, toilets, and areas for dishwashing and cooking. These shared amenities are clean, functional, and blend rustic charm with practicality. There are no luxury frills, but the simplicity is what makes Camping Călătorul so appealing—it's the perfect setting to disconnect from the fast pace of daily life.

The site is also planning for future developments, including transforming the barn into a rental apartment and a coffee bar/home-office, offering even more comfort for digital nomads and long-term travelers.

A small local shop is just down the road for basic needs, and larger supermarkets like Lidl, Penny, and Profi can be found in nearby towns such as Brad and Criscior. So whether you’re staying a few nights or making this your base to explore the Apuseni region, Camping Călătorul offers a peaceful, authentic camping experience in the heart of rural Romania. Book now to secure your place in this hidden mountain gem!

Camping Călătorul is perfectly located for exploring the lesser-known yet breathtaking landscapes of Hunedoara County.

Just a short drive away, the town of Brad offers access to essential shops and services, as well as the Gold Museum, a unique stop for history buffs. In the nearby villages of Criscior and Blăjeni, you'll find local grocery stores and a taste of traditional Romanian life.

For those seeking cultural and natural experiences, day trips to Țebea, Detunatele Basalt Formations, or even deeper into the Apuseni National Park are easily arranged. Whether you're exploring by foot or car, the region offers peace, space, and plenty of surprises. The remote beauty and authentic charm of this area make it a must-see in Romania.

Camping Călătorul is a quiet, family-friendly campsite that encourages a slower, more intentional way of traveling. The terrain is grassy and natural, so pack suitable footwear and be prepared for a true countryside experience. As the site is off the beaten path, GPS navigation is recommended, and it's wise to stock up on groceries in nearby towns before arrival.

The site is pet-friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. With limited spots for campervans and tents, it’s best to book in advance to ensure availability. Whether you’re camping or glamping, you'll be surrounded by nature, quiet, and kind hosts ready to help.
