This campsite located in Ivalo offers all kinds of services and is surrounded by nature. This town has an airport and it’s a compulsory stop on the northen route. They offer plots for tents, bungalows and small apartments with different sizes are available, some of them even with a sauna inside. Good quality/price value. Highly recommended restaurant/bar on site.

Georgia: this hostel is located on the upper floor of the Vashlani National Park visitor centre. The bedrooms are comfortable, clean and have heating, with prices at around 20€ per room. There is no food service but there is a large kitchen for use by guests and staff. There is a small supermarket nearby as well as a bar that is not always open. Vashlani is a prime example of well-conserved mediterranean steppe with juniper and pistachio woodland frequented by Brown Bear, European Lynx, Wollf, Golden Jackal, Striped Hyena and occasionally Leopard. Persian Gazelles are scarce but still found in the southeastern corner of the park. Birdlife includes the most westerly natural population of Common Pheasant. Other birds of interest include Eastern Imperial Eagle; Menetries´s Warbler; Pied, Finsch´s and Isabelline Wheatears; Rock Nuthatch; Levant Sparrowhawk; Black Francolin; Rosy Starling; Black-headed Bunting and Ruddy Shelduck.

VASHLOVANI NP VISITOR CENTRE

Recommended by Guille Mayor

Thailand: situated in Tak, on the way to the National Parks in northern Thailand (Doi Inthanon, Doi Chiang Dao etc). This is a practical stop, as it is right on the road north and you don’t need to go into town. The quality/price ratio is excellent value: double rooms with breakfast included are around 19-26€. Recenly reformed, the resulting facilities are what you would expect from a hotel in the higher price bracket. Parking available. There is a nightclub below the hotel that can get noisy, so take this into account if you are a light sleeper.

Fuerteventura, Canary Is., Spain: located in the Fuerteventura Biosphere Reserve, Verdeaurora is dedicated to agritourism. This is a 30ha finca situated inside the Pozo Negro y Llanos y Cuchilletes de Antigua Special Bird Protection Zone (ZEPA). The farm is an Aloe Vera and olive plantation and here you can buy products related to both. From the houses it is not difficult to see the endemic Fuerteventura Stonechat. Egyptian Vultures (or “Guirres”) float overhead and species like Ruddy Shelduck and Trumpeter Finch are easily seen. There are two houses: Casa Rural Pilar, in the Teniscosquey Valley, has been built in line with traditional architecture of the area. There are two rooms with an extra (5 pax) and a private swimming pool. Casa Rural Aurora is next door, north-facing and has one room with an extra (3 pax) and a private swimming pool.
