(3463) Camping Rūgumi
A very nice campsite, divided into three areas. Directly behind the dune, about 20 meters from the beach, are tent and campervan pitches, some shaded by trees. Hammocks are thoughtfully scattered throughout, and the reception is located in a caravan. There are incredibly beautiful and secluded pitches in a park-like garden under trees, some with sea views – a real insider tip for smaller campervans!
About 20 meters further on is a pavilion with power outlets for campers to charge their smartphones, and also for rainy weather. Next to it are spacious, attractive showers, washing-up areas, and sinks. New this year is the option to rent a small sauna. On the meadow a little further from the beach, towards the entrance, is a large motorhome and caravan area where everyone will also find a secluded spot. All pitches have an electricity connection. A new area is located on the other side of the small access road. Here you'll find several pitches shaded by trees.
At the far end of the meadows are a few charming cabins, built by the campsite owner himself and available for rent. As is typical in the great outdoors, there are outhouses, which are very clean and well-ventilated. The sanitary facilities are cleaned several times a day, and the entire campsite is very well-maintained. As I've seen throughout the Baltic region, the beaches are very clean because everyone takes their trash with them. About 5 kilometers before the campsite entrance, there's a small shop on the left-hand side; you should stock up on provisions there. The tap water at the campsite itself is filtered well water, but it's mineral-rich, so the owner sells drinking water in 5-liter canisters.
We enjoy the walk to the beach and snack on the plums, pears, and apples from the mirabelle plum and apple trees.
Every day we're on the huge, almost deserted beach (yesterday, Sunday, August 21st, with 28 degrees Celsius and sunshine, we encountered over 50 people on our 2-3 km walk along the beach!). Today, Monday, at 23 degrees Celsius, we encountered exactly 6 people and 2 dogs in a 4 km walk. We only intended to stay for 1-2 days, but now it's been a week and we're completely lost in the moment.
Our personal highlight has been the incredible sunsets. Every evening we went to a higher dune where we had a breathtaking view of the sun setting in the west...
