How to use search filters effectively

Learn how to quickly find exactly the camping spot you're looking for.

Why use filters?

Filters save you time and help you find places that match your needs - your vehicle, camping style, and expectations. This often makes the difference between a successful and disappointing trip.

Time saving - you don't have to browse through hundreds of places that don't suit your needs.
Precise matching - find exactly what you're looking for, without compromises.
Avoiding disappointment - you know in advance what to expect at the location.
Trip planning - easier to plan your route and preparations.
Discovering new places - filters help find places you didn't know about before.

Location filters

Narrow down results by location and distance.

Distance – set radius from your position or chosen address.
Region – choose province, state or specific area.
Altitude above sea level – find places in your favorite mountain range.
Climate – forest, mountains, lake, coast or desert.

Type of camping

Match your search to your travel style.

Tent – classic camping grounds with level terrain.
Car camping – easy access and space for your car.
RV – places with hookups and vehicle access.
Backpacking – hiking and wilderness camping.

Amenities

Check what you'll find on site.

Toilets – from simple outhouses to full facilities.
Water – drinking water tap, spring or need to bring your own.
Fire pit – whether there's a fire ring and what the rules are.
Phone signal – useful if you want to stay in touch.

Access and difficulty

Match the place to your vehicle and skills.

Road – asphalt, gravel, 4x4 only or foot access.
Vehicle – regular car, SUV or off-road.
Difficulty level – beginner-friendly places or for experienced only.
Seasonality – available year-round or only in certain months.

How to search effectively

Start broad, then narrow down - begin with a general location or activity, then add more filters. Example: "Bieszczady" → "dog-friendly" filter → "by the lake" filter.

Combine different filters - with combinations you'll find the perfect place faster.Example: Within 50 km + fire pit + regular car access.

Consider the season - some places differ depending on the time of year. Example: in summer check "mosquitoes", in winter – "snow access".
