*This pick-up schedule is a compromise based on train/bus arrivals from the directions of Ljubljana versus train arrival from the direction of Koper and Trieste. Meaning, you may have to wait for us to arrive on the train station to pick you up, and this might take up to 30 minutes for some of the rides. Rest assured we are coming to get you!;)

In case you ar
e traveling from different direction, please get in touch so we can try to help further.


Alternatively, you can also dive into our shared Google Drive Sheet to coordinate or add a ride you’d like to share with someone else (in case you are having some free seats in your car or someone you’re traveling with)

CAMPING+SLEEPING OPTIONS

Due to limited availability with only 40 camping parcels on-site, we decided to introduce an additional 15EUR fee to reserve your camping space. This measure ensures that we can prevent overcrowding and maintain a comfortable camping environment. To secure your camping parcel, reservations are only possible with the purchase of a multi-day pass. 

It's important to note that this fee is fixed per parcel, not per person. Therefore, if you're sharing your tent with friends, you can split the cost among yourselves. 

This fixed fee covers your entire camping duration, whether you're staying for two or three days. The camping zone opens on Friday, May 31st at 10 AM and closes on Monday, June 3rd at 10 AM, giving you ample time to enjoy the experience. 

Upon your arrival and registration at the info point, you'll receive your parcel number and detailed instructions on locating your designated camping spot.

Reservations are first come, first served. So please hurry up if you want to secure your spot. 

As a way of appreciation for your cooperation, if you're sharing your tent with more than one additional person, each of you will receive a complimentary drink coupon at the info point! ッ  


***IMPORTANT NOTE***

If you're bringing a smaller/mini tent, we encourage you to consider sharing your camp parcel with someone else who is also bringing a smaller tent. Conversely, if you own a larger tent, we recommend inviting additional friends to join your camping adventure. We suggest a minimum of 2-3 people per camping parcel. That way, you can also share the camping fee with the others joining your adventure.

Camping outside of our marked parcels is not subject to these conditions and is at your own risk. Since this is a national park, camping is only permitted within the land that belongs to the Hotel Rakov Škocjan property.

Please also note that this option doesn’t require reservations and doesn’t involve any additional fees. That said, please make sure to arrive as early as you can to secure your parking place.
 


GUEST HOUSE ACCOMODATION
