Czechia is a country where you can spend the night in a simple tent by a mountain river for a couple hundred crowns, or in a designer tent with a sauna and jacuzzi in the middle of the forest. This roundup is for anyone planning a camping or caravan road trip through Šumava and Lipno, as well as for those craving a romantic glamping weekend just an hour from Prague — with an outdoor bathtub, a crackling fire, and nothing but silence instead of city noise. Below are tried-and-tested campsites and glamping spots across different regions of the country, with addresses, prices, and highlights.
One of the most popular campsites on the Lipno reservoir in South Bohemia. It stretches along the shore of Lake Lipno near the small town of Frymburk. The 4.5-hectare site offers 170 spots for caravans with electricity (6 amps), including 25 comfort pitches with water and sewage hookups. Nearby you'll find a beach, boat rental, and a cycling trail along the lake — a great base for families and water sports fans.
A cozy family-run campsite on the edge of Šumava. Located in South Bohemia beyond the village of Strunkovice nad Blanicí, right on the Prachatice–Vodňany road (route 141), in a scenic spot by the Blanice river. There are 10 five-person cabins with a total capacity of 50 guests. On site you'll find a restaurant with a terrace serving local Platan beer, a mini-golf course, and a natural swimming pool — the campsite regularly makes it into the top 50 in Czechia's "Campsite of the Year" survey.
One of the most atmospheric campsites inside Šumava National Park — for those who want truly wild nature without sacrificing comfort. Accommodation is set in a historic royal farmstead on the banks of the mountain river Vydra, with rooms as well as spots for tents and caravans. Keep in mind: in Šumava National Park, pitching a tent is only legal at designated sites, and Antýgl is exactly that — right by the water and hiking trails into the mountains.
Waterside glamping just 40 km from Prague — perfect for a short weekend escape from the city. Marina & Glamping Živohošť offers an oasis of calm and comfort on the banks of the Vltava, a luxury campsite only 40 km from central Prague. It has its own garden, beach, and playground, and guests stay in stylish, exotic-feeling tents built from wood and canvas with beautiful wooden floors. Some tents are two-story, with a separate kitchen and terrace.
Glamping in the heart of the Brdy nature reserve, 90 minutes from Prague — for those dreaming of forest silence and an evening by a hot tub with wine. The tents come with everything needed to unwind, including an outdoor sauna and a wooden hot tub — you can escape everyday stress while watching nature, take a walk through the quiet forest, or sit with a glass of wine by an open fire. The tent is heated by a wood-burning stove that keeps it cozy even in winter, so it's a great option year-round. A massage can be booked on request.
A glamping park right on the edge of Prague, in Český kras, at the confluence of the Berounka and Vltava rivers — ideal for those short on time but craving that "out of office" feeling. Eight unusual glamping units are set in a private part of the park on the outskirts of Prague, each with its own story. The natural lake, formed by former sand mining, lies within the limestone landscape of Český kras, close to where the Berounka meets the Vltava. The trailer-style cabins have direct water access, a panoramic shower, and a kitchen — a great fit for couples and families after an easy countryside getaway.
A classic glamping option in Central Bohemia that's easy to reach even without a car. Set in the scenic Posázaví region, it combines modern comfort, quiet, and the charm of Czech nature — the trailer is fitted out for maximum comfort and comes with relaxation extras like an outdoor Dutch Tub and a sauna. You can get there by direct train from Prague on the legendary Posázavský Pacifik line — a nice bonus for those without a car.
An exotic stay option in the Beskydy Mountains in the east of the country. The yurts come in pairs but promise full privacy — they're set about 40 meters apart with a shed between them, and each has electricity and its own modern bathroom with a shower and toilet. Guests get unlimited access to a private wellness area with a Finnish sauna and a hot tub for 4 people. A great choice for a couple or small group looking to combine a mountain hike with a proper spa evening.
From a simple tent camp by a Šumava stream to a designer yurt with a sauna in the Beskydy Mountains — the range of campsites and glamping spots in Czechia is huge and fits any budget or comfort level. Before you go, it's worth checking the season (many riverside campsites only operate from June to September) and booking glamping spots in advance — popular places get snapped up weeks ahead during the warm season.
