In one of our Vanbaltic Campervans, set out on the ultimate voyage across the Baltic States. Find beautiful locations to camp in the rolling countryside, beside the shore, or inside of forests. The finest aspect? Free camping is available in several of these breathtaking settings, with facilities like restrooms and stoves. Prepare to discover the Baltic States’ interior wilderness!

Our intention is to make van camping possible for travelers who would prefer not to rent an RV or mobile home. Not everyone enjoys driving through towns and renting campsites and RVs. Not everyone has the courage to operate these frequently extremely huge cars. As a result, we hire out little RVs and campers in the shape of camper vans, which are frequently not much bigger than regular cars.

Yes, you definitely can bring your dog with you. If you don’t want to leave your faithful four-legged friend at home, you are welcome to take your small or midsize, well behaved dog with you on your trip. Why small or midsize? Sure, everyone has their own capacity, but for the sake of your well being, we don’t think it’s a good idea to travel with two labradors for an extended period of time in just 4M2, don’t you agree? Since we have to have the vehicle specially cleaned afterwards, we charge a one time fee, called a dog’s fee,” which is 79 euros. Simply add a dog’s fee in the section “Services” during your online booking. If the dog’s fee is not booked before a trip and we notice or trace unauthorized transportation of pets of any kind, it will be a violation of our terms and conditions; thus, a penalty in the amount of 500 EUR might be applied.
