There are a great many camping and caravan/motorhome sites in this area as it is one of Polands most popular holiday destinations and we were there right in the middle of the holiday season. As per with Polish campsites any unit, be it a tent, caravan or motorhome that turns up is accommodated somewhere. This led to some of the sites we saw having rows of caravan just a couple of feet apart, Camping Na Granicy was tight in some areas (overlooking the lake for example) but nowhere as bad as some of the local competition..

The lady on reception spoke good English and walked round with us to find a pitch and gave us a lot of useful information about the locality.

The facilities block looked brand new and supplied everything needed and the showers were a good size with lashings of hot water.

The book says the electricity was 16 amps but the receptionist admitted that was if you were the only one using the box you were plugged into, the more that were plugged in the less you got. However the site is only open in the summer so that probably isn’t an issue, certainly we had no problems with it.

There was a non-self service laundry on site, you gave the laundry to the receptionist with PLN12.00 and she returned it later in the day ready to hang out to dry.

There was also a new looking bar on site it looked pleasant and comfortable but we didn’t try it.

The seaside in Poland is not, sadly, for us but if you like lots of crappy souvenir stalls, fast food and teararsing about on little motorbikes hired by the hour interspersed with sunbathing on a totally uncommercialisegd beach then you will love it here.

We had planned to stay here four nights but after three had had enough, not of the campsite but of the area and left a day early. We paid PLN171.80 thats around £12.48 per night.
