The trend of glamping — luxury camping with comfortable tents equipped with beds, heating, and designer interiors — is growing.

Slovakia is experiencing a caravanning boom, driven by technology and a desire for autonomy. For beginners, the Spiš-Gemer-Malohont route offers developed infrastructure; for experienced travelers, Orava and Liptov provide mountain challenges; and for adventurers, the wild east from Bardejov to Michalovce offers pristine nature. Slovak law permits wild camping only above 1000 meters altitude and requires strict adherence to environmental rules.
