For anyone touring in Romania, this is a recommendation for a camping site we happened across, and of course ended up staying longer than we had planned. (It is lovely weather at the moment which I appreciate makes a difference)
Its - Camping Turul - Remetea 8, 417410. Remetea. Ro. Tel +40744296308. www.campingturul.ro
Its on the ACSI app but not in the book. Not open during winter.
The owner and manager is Istavan (Stefan or Steve in English) and a lovely bloke. Very proud of what he has built and rightly so. Its situated in a typical Romanian village which has the benefit a decent little shop.
The facilities, all built by the owner, are small with three of everything, but really well done and they couldn't be cleaner.
The pitches are on grass amongst trees, with electric points and taps. There is a chemical & grey water disposal point. He's also built several little wooden chalet's around the site.
Beware of the local hooch which is sold in recycled water bottles, 50% alcohol made from distilled apples. 10E a litre if you are brave enough.
There are some caves and a waterfall nearby if you feel the need.
We've stopped at some places with 'crap' facilities, and we entered eastern Europe with low expectations, but this little place is a big surprise in this poor region. He's not always on site when you drive in, but he'll soon appear to give you as much help as you need or want. No problem at all recommending this site.
