A Meeting of Europe’s Most Beautiful Campsites: Welcoming Joze and Bernarda from Šenkova Domačija Farm

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming two special guests to Camping Veliko Tarnovo — Jože Žagar and Bernarda Šenk. They are family of the owners of Šenkova Domačija Farm, the Slovenian campsite ranked No.1 in The Guardian’s list of Europe’s 20 most beautifully located campsites. As you may know, we were proudly listed at No.2. We celebrated this recognition in our earlier blog post.

The visit was spontaneous and heartwarming. It was a meeting between two family-run campsites that share similar values. Both campsites are passionate about nature, hospitality, and culture. We found many similarities between Bulgarian and Slovenian traditions.

Their family’s retreat is in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, near the Austrian border. It combines alpine charm, dramatic scenery, and a warm Slovenian welcome. It was a true honour to host them here in our lush valley.

We gave them a tour of our campsite. Highlights included our ‘Pool with a View’ and the colourful gardens. As we walked, we shared stories about campsite life. We talked about hosting international travellers and protecting these beautiful spaces.

To mark the visit, we offered Jože and Bernarda gifts of local Bulgarian food. The food was from the range we stock by Duchef Radichev of Veliko Tarnovo. They included rich cheeses, handmade preserves, and lukanka. Everything was perfect as we sipped refreshing frappes and lemonades.

We took cheerful photos together, holding The Guardian article in our gardens. It was a proud moment of shared success. Two campsites, two families, one passion — offering unforgettable stays in beautiful places.

This visit was more than a meeting. It was a connection built on respect, hospitality, and love for the land.

Thank you, Jože and Bernarda, for visiting us. We look forward to visiting Šenkova Domačija in Slovenia and continuing this new friendship.
