camping livadh has been on this beach since 2008.

Twelve summers in, in 2020, the camp moved to the plot it runs today: a stretch of grass and olive trees behind the shingle of Livadh Beach, a short drive round the hill from Himarë town.

The pitches are grass and gravel between reed fences, and the olive trees keep most of them out of the afternoon sun.

The camp keeps its own umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach, reached across a plank boardwalk, and puts a volleyball net up on the sand. The water is clear and the shingle is pale and fine.

questions.

More about the beach itself in the Livadh Beach guide.

Where exactly is Camping Livadh?

Camping Livadh is on Livadh Beach, the long shingle bay just west of Himarë town on the Albanian Riviera. It is about four and a half kilometres by road from the centre of Himarë, and the camp sits behind the beach, about a hundred metres from the water. On Google Maps it is listed as Camping Livadh.

Can I book Camping Livadh online?

No. Camping Livadh is not sold on Booking.com or any other booking site. It is a walk-in campsite: you arrive, choose a pitch or a rental tent, and pay at the camp. To check there is room on your dates, or for a group, call the camp on +355 69 231 3854 before you drive down.

Do I need my own tent?

No. You can pitch your own tent on the grass under the olive trees, or sleep in one of the camp's own two-person tents. Campervans and caravans park on the pitches too, and electric hook-ups are available, so the same camp works for backpackers, families with a car and people travelling in a van.

What facilities does the campsite have?

There are toilets and hot showers, a washing machine, electric hook-ups and shade from the olive trees across the pitches. The camp runs a covered terrace bar and kitchen, and keeps sunbeds, umbrellas and a beach volleyball net on the sand in front of it. The entrance and the parking are step-free.

Is there food at the camp?

Yes. The camp has its own covered terrace with a bar and a kitchen, so there is no need to drive into Himarë to eat. Recent plates include grilled octopus, marinated anchovies, Greek salad and seafood pizza. Livadh Beach also has other bars and restaurants along the sand within a few minutes' walk.

How far is Himarë town from the camp?

Himarë Castle is about three kilometres from the camp by road and the town centre about four and a half, roughly ten minutes by car. Dhërmi is about seventeen kilometres up the coast on the SH8, Sarandë about fifty-seven kilometres south, and Vlorë about sixty-two kilometres north by way of Llogara.

How do I get to Camping Livadh from Tirana airport?

Tirana International Airport is about 210 kilometres from the camp. Drive south to Vlorë, then follow the SH8 coast road by way of Llogara and down through Dhërmi to Himarë, where the road to Livadh Beach turns off towards the sea. Allow most of a day with stops, because the mountain section is slow going.

Is the beach in front of the camp sand or pebbles?

Livadh Beach is pale shingle: small smooth pebbles that run into clear water. The bay faces west, so the sun sets straight into the sea in front of the camp. The camp keeps umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach, reached across a plank boardwalk.
