We spent a peaceful night without any problems. Large parking lot. Two dogs live here and guard the cars at night; bring them some treats :) The dogs are friendly, not aggressive.Translating
Perfect for a nights stay. Not beautiful like a wild camp, but flat, fairly quiet, and the bear sanctuary is well worth a visitTranslating
Spectacular night, with snowfall. I recommend coming to the Bear Reserve.Translating
Great spot. Stayed one night no problems. Perfect to visit the bear sanctuary too which I highly highly recommend. What a fantastic organisation and beautiful bears. Only 3€ entry too!Translating
Top spot but without any shade.Translating
Excellent parking area, peaceful, with some shade if you choose your spot well, a small water point, and above all the bears, those poor animals who have known misery. Go see them and support them; they are so calm and like to make eye contact. An extra bonus is the very playful bear cub and a laid-back lion.Translating
Visited the bear sanctuary, 20 bears including a very cute cub. Lion also impressive. Full dinner for 20€ at the restaurant. Nice grass and shade for our dog and baby to play next to the restaurant. Parking lot was quiet at night, some dogs with minimal barking compared to the rest of the Balkans. Reasonably flat. Translating
Fine. Safe and level place. Green surroundings. The bear park and restaurant are definitely worth a visit. There are toilets there during opening hours. There is currently construction work next to the facility, so it may be somewhat noisier from 7 a.m. This does not bother us, as we are early risers.Translating
Great place to spend the night and visit the bear park. PLEASE DO NOT EMPTY YOUR TOILETS IN THE PARKING LOT!!! You can see the traces and it is disgusting!Translating
We visited the bear park and then decided to spend the night here. We were the only ones there apart from the two dogs, who woke us twice during the night by barking (although both are friendly). Otherwise it was very quiet. The restaurant in the park is highly recommended, with many vegetarian and vegan dishes. During the main season it is open until 7 p.m.Translating
The bear park is really nice! The restaurant is also very good Translating
Free, quiet, clean, beautifully located. What more could you want?Translating
Anyone afraid of dogs should not spend the night here—yesterday we counted at least six, but they are all very sweet and affectionate and happy to receive a snack. It was nevertheless very quiet at night! Thanks to Four Paws for the wonderful park and overnight accommodation. P.S. Arrive at least one hour before the park closes if you still want to visit it!Translating
We spent a very quiet night here after visiting the bear park. We felt very safe here. The parking lot is free and directly in front of the park entrance. While we were there, there was only one dog next to our motorhome, and it was very peaceful.Translating
free parking on flat gravel lot (sign says free RV camping). a bit higher than the city so cooler over night. no shade. unfortunately stray dogs barking all night.Translating
Free but in full sun; there are friendly stray dogs.Translating
Good, level parking lot directly in front of the bear reserve. Trash bin and water point available. We spent a quiet night here after visiting the reserve.Translating
Thanks to the sanctuary for this free site. Flat ground but no 4G signal. The only problem was a dog that barked almost all night, but apart from that it was very good. The sanctuary is worth visiting, especially in spring.Translating
Dogs barking so I left at 2am and drove to the lake. Great sanctuary but at this time of the year only 2 bears to see as all the others are hibernating.Translating
Large parking lot with a sign welcoming motorhomes :) The sanctuary is really nice and worth visiting, and the spot provides quick access to Pristina!Translating
Great spot! Visit the bears first, then spend the night peacefully. Almost level, trash bin, otherwise no services—ideal for self-sufficient campers. The friendly dogs bark occasionally. In winter, the café is open only until 4 p.m. Very friendly people at the sanctuary. Weak Wi-Fi reached the parking lot; an antenna helps. Thanks for this beautiful place!Translating
Honestly one of the most incredible places we've visitors on our travels. The bear sanctuary leaves you feeling in awe of what's been achieved from the charity (and only €2.50 entry) and the cafe is classy, yet cheap. Nice walking routes too in the forest. A must see in Kosovo!Translating
Perfect location for visiting the bear sanctuary & also the nearby lake. There are also lots of hiking opportunities in the area. Very friendly strays in car park who barked in the evening but not during the night. Water fountain has very slow flow. Bins available. Safe & peaceful night. €2.50 to visit sanctuary- well worth it! We arrived 3pm & they were fed 3:45pm. Bar is really lovely too. Translating
You can park very well here. The Wi-Fi did not reach the parking lot for us. But if you set your network selection to manual and choose IPKO (or have a SIM from them), you also get 4G. The opening hours on the website are not current. April–October open until 7 p.m. November–March only until 4:30 p.m. Guided tours always only until 4 p.m.Translating

Clean and quiet site. We did not stay overnight. The park is very beautiful, also for children, with a playground and other attractions. Free Wi-Fi.Translating
