Visiting Beautiful Poland: Camping Trzy Korony in the Pieniny Mountains in Pictures

Camping with a view of “Trzy Korony” (or Three Crowns peak) in Pieniny mountain range in southern Poland. It’s actually a municipal camping in a 700 year old village right at the Polish-Slovak border. In a word this municipal camping in Sromowce Niżne village is about simplicity and that’s what we liked about it.

Here is our camping review of Pole Namiotowe OSP Sromowce Nizne in pictures (… and NO, we are not getting paid for mentioning it or anything else here in any way at all).

*With a view like this and hardly anybody else around, you can’t go wrong with municipal Camping Sromowce Nizne (in Polish: Pole namiotowe “OSP Sromowce Niżne”).*

The location of our camping site is quite charming. Right at the Dunajec river which is a natural border between Poland and Slovakia. It’s just too tempting, we must cross it! Especially that there is a foot bridge 100 meters from us and we are up for a Slovak beer

Warming up for a hike in the Pieniny mountain range in southern Poland. In reality, this was about the closest we’d gotten to the top as our short, untrained legs commanded stops by a playground and, of course, a bar.

*A footbridge to Slowakia. A signpost for some saint named Kinga marks the 700-year anniversary of the establishment of the Sromowce Nizne village*.

*A brief rest on a bench flanked by wood carvings–a favorite mountain past time.*

*Kayaks and tourists cruising the Dunajec river on traditional river rafts*. *Slovakia on the other side.*

*Camping price: 98 zlotys for 2 adults, 2 children, a car, a tent withe electricity on unmarked grassy pitches with plenty of space.*

*Lots of cool regional wooden souvenirs (and more) to share with friends and family. You can get them at a small square about 200 meters northeast of the campground, along the main road.*

Playground with a beuatiful view. The campsite does not have a playground but you can find one, such as this, a few hundred meters walk along the river trail, past the footbridge. There’s also a big football pitch.

*Rudimentary kitchen area at municipal Camping OSP Sroomowce Nizne… Yup,. . . well, at least it’s partly covered.*

*A Slovak border guard on the footbridge. We love open borders!*

*Refurbished. Clean. Paid shower (5 zlotys for 5 minutes of warm shower). 5 sinks, 3 toilets and 2 showers. No toilet paper.*

Entrance to municipal camping at Sromowce Nizne/Trzy Korony. It is just off the suppossed-to-be 30-kilometer-per-hour road that nobodoy seemed to follow. NO gate. The bathroom is the first building to the right. The rception is the second one.

*A walk along the paved bicycle/pedestrian river trail.* *Sunworshippers and beerswiggler on the Polish (this) side of the Dunajec river; Dingy boats, kayakers and swimmers on the Slovak side.*
