Where to go camping in West Bohemia? These are the TOP 5 for 2026
This the article is not based on one universal list, because different campsites in West Bohemia score points for different reasons. Some have the best ratings from visitors, others excel in facilities, location or atmosphere, and a separate category are campsites by the water - which have long been the most sought-after type of accommodation in the entire region.
That's why we divided the selection for 2026 into three separate rankings:
- TOP 5 according to guests and reviewers on Kempy-chaty.cz (last 12 months)
- TOP 5 according to the editors of Kempy-chaty.cz, based on our comparison and experience
- TOP 5 campsites by the water and with a swimming poolbecause this type is one of the most frequently searched for
Each ranking thus shows the same region from a different angle and allows for fairer comparisons across different types of campsites.

⭐ TOP 5 campsites in West Bohemia according to the Kempy-chaty.cz editorial team (2026)
The editorial selection differs from the guest ratings in some respects. Not because reviews are not important – quite the opposite – but because we often consider other factors than just popularity when making comparisons.
In the editorial office, we prefer campsites where there is more peace, a more pleasant atmosphere and the surroundings are not overcrowded in the season. These campsites may not always offer the widest list of services, but they often score with exactly what many people are looking for most today: peace, good facilities, a friendly approach and a quality environment in nature.
