10 Activities with a CamperVan in Albania

Just drive, stop where it feels right, and enjoy the ride.

10 Activities with a CamperVan in Albania You’ll Never Forget

1. Park & Swim on the Riviera

Drive south and hug the coast. Places like Jale, Gjipe, and Borsh are perfect for swimming, grilling, and parking overnight. You can literally roll out of bed and into the sea.

2. Wake Up in the Albanian Alps

Theth or Valbona? Honestly, both. Park your van, boil some coffee, and watch the morning light hit the peaks. And yes, it gets chilly — bring socks.


3. Wild Camp by Rivers & Canyons

Osumi Canyon or Shala River are the kind of places that feel untouched. After a long drive, you can park nearby and dive straight into the water. No schedule, no crowd.


4. Sleep Near Old Castles

Ever spent a night next to a 13th-century fortress? In Albania, you can. Berat, Gjirokastër, and even Rozafa Castle in Shkodra offer surreal backdrops — and yes, van-accessible spots.


5. Pull Up to Local Farms

Albanian villagers are incredibly welcoming. In places like Përmet or Roshnik, you might get offered fresh cheese, raki, or even a spot to park — no Airbnb needed.


6. Join the Party at Local Festivals

From beer in Korça to folklore in Gjirokastër, festivals pop up all summer. Just follow the music, park nearby, and enjoy like a local.
Make sure your van has mosquito nets — trust us.


7. Snap Your Journey Like a Travel Blog

Not an influencer? Doesn’t matter. Albania is photogenic in every direction. Mountains, beaches, even gas stations have a vibe.

8. Go Off-Road in the South

Grab a map and take the less-traveled routes near Gramsh, Vithkuq, or Zagoria. Some roads are bumpy, but the views are insane.
GoVan vans are built to handle it. Just don’t skip tire checks.


9. Chill in Natural Hot Springs

The thermal baths near Benjë (close to Përmet) are a camper’s dream. Park, soak, cook dinner, and sleep like a rock. All in one spot.


10. Hunt the Perfect Sunset Spot

Some nights, the plan is simple: find a high point and wait. Llogara Pass, Cape of Rodon, and Lake Ohrid all deliver. Bring snacks and someone to share it with.


Traveling with a camper van in Albania isn’t just about getting from place to place. It’s about parking somewhere unexpected and realizing — yeah, I could stay here.
