Dear fellow campers,
we're glad you're interested in the possibility of camping in the Bohemian Forest. Please take a look at the offer below. We hope that you will be interested in the beautiful surroundings and the range of additional services we offer, especially if you have children. If you decide to book, we will do our best to ensure that you are as satisfied with your stay as the great many campless campers before you (see references). We strive to create an informal, comfortable environment for all of us and so if you choose to choose to chat with us, we would be delighted. We look forward to meeting you and extend our warmest regards.
Michal and Vera Kulawiak

We offer three options for camping in Javorná (local part of Čachrov) in the Bohemian Forest. In winter, when there is snow, it is possible to camp with caravans only on the paved part of the land called Javorná na Šumavě - Louka and the unpolluted area under the forest behind the village.
You will be our neighbours on the land you are now getting information about. It is a meadow of about 1.3 ha with a paved driveway in a quiet and peaceful environment at the end of the village directly adjacent to the forest. There is a farm building, our timbered farmhouse and a short walk away a pen for kangaroos, sheep and other animals. Through the fence you can observe them at any time without restrictions. Our horses will be grazing next to you. If you wish, let us know and we will be happy to put fencing tape around your tent and car so you don't have horses in close proximity.
The vast majority of our visitors are excited about feeding and petting our animals, taking photos with the raptors or getting up close and personal with the llamas, kangaroos, owls and other inhabitants of our grounds. However, in order to provide quality animal care while giving you an even more intense and personal experience, we are forced to modify this program.
We now offer guided tours in small groups during which we will give you our full attention. You will have a unique opportunity to learn interesting information about our animals, engage in feeding them, pet them, and enjoy this special time without rushing or distractions. Your visit will take on a new level - you can look forward to genuine personal care and detailed explanations tailored to your interests and the age of your children.
The price for this tour is 50 CZK per person and must be arranged in advance. This will allow us to reserve time just for you and focus entirely on making sure you enjoy your visit as much as possible.
Your support will not only help us continue to care for our animals, but also create memorable moments that you will enjoy long after you leave. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to your visit!

You will have an unforgettable view of the sunset over the peaks of Šumava in the evening.

The first mention of our village dates back to 1614. Here you will find an old clapboard church and a fountain with clean spring water. It's a quiet place without mass tourism. You will be able to admire beautiful views of the countryside, beautiful corners of pure nature, for example, the view of the border ridge of the Šumava is breathtaking. It is ideal for walking and cycling tours. And if it is the mushroom season, Javorná and its surroundings are unrivalled and you will have the forest right behind your tent or caravan. In winter, there are local ski lifts and plenty of cross-country ski trails.

Visited personally by the campu.eu team. Our comments:

Beautiful land and a great starting point for trips to the Bohemian Forest. Large plot so all guests are far away from each other and you have peace and privacy. Children will be thrilled with all the animals - sheep, lamb to pet, horse or bunnies. Beautiful sky full of stars with no light smog. A very helpful owner who will be happy to advise you what you can experience in the area, teach you the basics of riding your horse, or we can arrange a course in survival in nature or a trip in an all-terrain vehicle.
