Autocamp Oaza (Sarajevo)
Sarajevo's main campsite — pitches plus villas on the green edge of Ilidža, 8 km from the Old Town and 4 km from the airport at the foot of Igman.
The obvious basecamp if you roll into Sarajevo with a tent or camper: a large, tree-shaded site on the western edge of Ilidža, at the foot of Mount Igman. Alongside hundreds of pitches it runs villas, apartments and rooms, a restaurant with a summer garden, and family extras — playground, tennis and a mini football pitch. It's close to the airport and an easy tram ride from the centre, which makes it a practical first or last night in the city, and a launch pad for Vrelo Bosne and the Olympic mountains.
Why go
- Pitches plus villas, apartments and rooms
- 8 km from the Old Town, 4 km from the airport
- Walk to Vrelo Bosne springs; gateway to Bjelašnica & Igman
- Restaurant, playground, tennis and free Wi-Fi
Take the tram into the centre from Ilidža rather than driving — and stroll (or take a fijaker carriage) up the chestnut avenue to the Vrelo Bosne springs, which are right on the doorstep.
