MRTVICA

Hidden high in the mountains above the Budva Riviera, Camping Mrtvica offers a truly unique escape for travellers seeking peace, pure nature and wide-open landscapes. Located near the small mountain village of Brajići, around half an hour by car from Budva, this wild camping area sits at an impressive altitude of over 1,000 metres, surrounded by dense forests, rocky peaks and spectacular views stretching all the way down to the Adriatic Sea. If you’re searching for an authentic back-to-nature experience, this is the place to be.

As a wild campsite, Camping Mrtvica is intentionally simple, offering only essential facilities so you can fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. On site, you’ll find portable toilets, simple cold-water showers and a natural mountain spring where you can refill your bottles with refreshingly pure water. Travellers love gathering around the communal barbecues, perfect for cooking dinner under a sky full of stars. While amenities are minimal, the setting more than makes up for it: silence, fresh mountain air, endless panoramas and a feeling of total freedom.

The campsite is also a fantastic base for outdoor activities. Well-marked walking and cycling routes start right from the camping area, making it easy to explore the surrounding forest trails and dramatic hillsides. If you’re travelling with your dog, the wide-open terrain is ideal for long walks. For those who want to discover Montenegro’s flavours, the campsite owners can arrange local food tasting tours, giving you a chance to try regional dishes and homemade products.

Camping Mrtvica is perfect for travellers who want to disconnect from crowds, reconnect with nature and enjoy the raw beauty of Montenegro’s mountain landscapes. With limited space and a growing reputation among adventurous campers, early booking is highly recommended to secure your spot in this breathtaking escape.

The surroundings of Camping Mrtvica offer endless opportunities for exploration. Just five minutes away by car lies the atmospheric ruin of Fort Kosmač, perched even higher in the mountains and offering sweeping views all the way to Sveti Nikola Island in Budva Bay. This is one of the area’s best sunset spots, where the sky transforms into vibrant shades of orange, gold and purple.

For more panoramic viewpoints, the hilltop spots of Lipa (a short walk from the campsite) and Panorama Chelobrdo (five minutes by car) provide magnificent vistas over the Budva Riviera. These locations are especially popular with photographers, hikers and anyone who loves dramatic landscapes.

If you’re ready for a change of pace, head down to lively Budva, only 30 minutes away. Here you can wander through the medieval old town, visit the 15th-century citadel, enjoy seaside restaurants or dive into the energetic nightlife. Budva also boasts several sandy and pebble beaches, where you can try jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking or simply relax by the water.

For nature lovers, Skadar Lake National Park—around an hour’s drive—offers pristine freshwater beaches, forest walks and boat trips to ancient monasteries on tiny islands. It’s a peaceful and magical contrast to the Adriatic coast.

Camping Mrtvica is a wild camping experience, so come prepared. There is no hot water, electricity or restaurants on site, and lighting is limited—so be sure to bring torches, power banks, food supplies and warm clothing, as temperatures can drop at high altitude. Portable toilets and simple showers are available, and you can refill water bottles at the natural spring.

The campsite is easy to reach by car, but the roads in the mountains can be narrow, so drive carefully. Space is limited, making it wise to book early, especially in summer. If you seek silence, fresh air and unforgettable views, Camping Mrtvica is the perfect base for your Montenegro adventure.
