Viitina am See

Viitina am See is a truly magical stopover located directly on the shores of a scenic lake in Viitina village, Estonia — right within the beautiful Haanjamaa National Park. Tucked among lush forest and open water, this intimate spot offers up to six motorhome pitches on a meadow right at the lakeside, combining unspoiled nature with a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that feels miles from everyday stress.

Each pitch comes with garden furniture and a barbecue, perfect for lakeside meals with family or friends as the sun dips below the horizon. The space feels open yet private, and the gentle lapping of water at your feet creates an unrivalled sense of tranquillity. Whether you’re arriving in a large motorhome, caravan, or even a compact campervan, the flat meadow offers easy access and a breathtaking view of the lake right from your doorstep.

There’s a modern, fenced children’s playground just steps away, making this a great choice for travellers with kids. Dogs are explicitly welcome here and even invited to swim with you in the lake — a rare perk for pet-friendly camping. A second bathing area with a sandy beach is only a short walk (about 80 m) from the pitches, perfect for sunbathing, paddling, or cooling off on a warm day.

On site you’ll also find essential services such as water and waste disposal, a Wi-Fi connection (free but password-protected), and electricity available for a small charge. This lakeside setting feels like a private retreat where every sunrise and sunset becomes part of your holiday memory.

Viitina am See’s setting inside Haanjamaa National Park places you at the heart of some of Estonia’s most beautiful natural scenery. Haanjamaa’s rolling hills, forests, and lakes make it ideal for hiking, photography, birdwatching, and simply unwinding in nature’s embrace.

Just a short drive away is Suur Munamägi, the highest peak in Estonia and part of the Haanja Uplands. Visitors commonly climb its observation tower for stunning panoramic views over the region’s lakes and forests — a must-do for any nature traveller. Nearby, the Haanja Motorcycle Museum offers a quirky and enjoyable distraction with classic bikes and regional history.

Around Viitina village you'll find local cafés, small shops, and inviting areas for walkable day trips. The wide open water invites swimming right from the beach or lakeshore, and nearby lakes or forest trails offer more secluded spots for picnics and wildlife encounters. Estonian countryside roads also lead to other interesting villages, cultural sites, and traditional eateries within easy driving distance.

Whether you’re exploring Estonia’s highest landscapes, wandering forest paths, or simply basking by the lake with a book, this area delivers unforgettable outdoor experiences.

Viitina am See operates year-round and is popular with campers who arrive spontaneously or stay multiple nights. While the setting feels rustic and tranquil, the hosts provide thoughtful touches such as a friendly welcome and local tips for exploring Estonia, making your arrival smooth and stress-free.

For practical planning:

• Wi-Fi is free but password-protected, so you can stay connected even in nature.
• The pitches do not have permanent toilet and shower buildings on site — travellers should plan accordingly.
• Water and wastewater disposal are available for campers.

Many guests highlight the personal hospitality of the host, who often shares tips about local lakes, trail routes, and hidden gems throughout the national park. It’s also wise to bring essentials with you, as shops and restaurants are a short drive from the lakeside meadow rather than right on the campsite.

Dogs are genuinely welcomed here, and swimmers of all ages love that both the main spot and nearby sandy beach are safe and easy to access. Because the site is small and scenic, it books out quickly in summer — especially for long weekends or peak travel seasons — so early reservation is highly recommended to secure one of the limited lakeside pitches.
