Top choice in Bovec
About 3km southwest of town, this fun, fabulous campground makes camping easy: hire a tent under a lean-to shelter that comes with mattresses and linen, or a big, furnished safari-style tent. Cars are left in a car park, and you walk through to a large, picturesque clearing (so it's not for campervans).
Owners Matic and Katja are fonts of local knowledge, and loads of activities can be organised here. Pickup from the bus station can be arranged.
