In 2026, demand for car camping and tent camps increased by 30% compared to last year, due to infrastructure development and an increase in the number of travelers using personal vehicles. However, not all campsites are equally comfortable: some have no electricity, others have problems with showers, and still others suffer from overcrowding during the high season.
In this rating we analyzed more than 50 campsites Krasnodar region according to 12 criteria: price, cleanliness, safety, availability of amenities for motorhomes, tourist reviews over the past year and booking availability. Particular attention was paid to places where you can stay with pets and children, since these are the categories of travelers most often faced with restrictions. Data is current on June 2026 and include information about seasonal discounts and new facilities that opened this season.

For motorhome and trailer owners, availability is critical. electrical connections (at least 220V) and drain stations for toilets. There are no more than 15 such places in the Krasnodar Territory, and most of them are concentrated in Gelendzhik and Anapa areas. Below are proven options with confirmed reviews about the quality of service.
| Camping | Electricity | Drain/fill | Cost (motorhome) |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Caravanserai" (Anapa) | ⚡ 220V/16A (Euro socket) | 💦 Drain + refill with water | from 2,800 ₽ |

The cost of the service is from 500 ₽. You can also use portable dry toilets with cassettes (for example, Thetford C200), which flush into regular toilets.
Camping by the sea: beach holiday without hotels
One of the main advantages of the Krasnodar region is the opportunity to live in a tent or motorhome 50–200 meters from the sea. However, not all beaches near the campsites are suitable for swimming: some are overgrown with seaweed, others have strong currents. We have selected places from sandy bottom and a gentle entrance into the water.
- 🏖️ "Primorsky" (Divnomorskoe village) - own beach with sun loungers (for a fee), depth up to 1.5 m at a distance of 50 m from the shore. Minus: The beach is crowded in July.
- 🌊 "Laguna" (Kabardinka village) - pebble beach, but the water is clean, there is a shower for rinsing off salt. Plus: Tents are allowed directly on the shore (for an additional fee).
- 🏝️ "Shell" (Arkhipo-Osipovka village) - sandy beach, shallow water 100 m. Limitation: motorhomes are placed only on the upper terrace (sea view, but uphill).
⚠️ Attention: At the Primorsky campsite It is prohibited to place tents closer than 30 m from the water's edge — the administration fines 1,000 rubles for violation. This rule is due to the risk of flooding during storms.
The cleanest beaches are near the campsites - in Divnomorskoe and Arkhipo-Osipovka. Avoid places near Novorossiysk: industrial waste thrown out by the sea is often found here.
Camping for families with children: safety first
When choosing a place for a family vacation, pay attention not only to the presence of a playground, but also to absence of dangerous factors: open reservoirs without fences, holes, thorny vegetation. The best campsites for families with children offer:

- 🚣 Shallow water pools or ponds (up to 0.5 m deep)
- 🛑 Enclosed fire pits (so that children cannot approach the fire)
- 🩺 First aid kit and duty attendant (required during high season)
From the tested options:
- 🧸 "Sunny Beach" (Dzhemete village) - the area is fenced with a 2 m high fence, there is a heated swimming pool and animators for children 3–10 years old.
