Our Story: The Heart (and Laughs) Behind Camp Vodenca

Camp Vodenca, connecting you to nature.

At Camp Vodenca, we know that camping isn’t just about pitching a tent and hoping it doesn’t rain (although, let’s be honest, that’s part of the adventure). It’s about creating memories, connecting with nature, and feeling at home in the great outdoors. Our story began in 2002, when our family, the Momirski family, decided to create a little slice of camping paradise in the stunning Soča Valley.

A True Family Business (Yes, We Work Together and Still Like Each Other)

Running Camp Vodenca is a true family affair, and each of us has a special role in making sure your stay is as fun, relaxing, and mishap-free as possible (though we can’t control what happens when you try to put up your own tent).

  • Sašo is the boss, the owner, and the man with the plan. He makes sure everything runs smoothly while secretly enjoying being called “the boss.” But to be honest, without him, there is no electricity or Wi-Fi. He is our electricionist and technology go to guy.

  • Mirjana, his wife, is the queen of cleanliness—she keeps the toilets spotless, the kitchen welcoming, and the flowers thriving (unlike our attempts at houseplants).

  • Saša is your go-to person at reception. Whether you need help planning your adventures, finding the best local spots, or just figuring out where you left your flip-flops, she’s got you covered.

  • Jure, Saša’s boyfriend, is the master of the organisation. He keeps the place clean, organized, and ready for your arrival. He’s also the guy to call if something breaks or if you need a tent setup that doesn’t turn into a modern art installation.

We’re here to make sure your stay is comfortable, full of good vibes, and completely unforgettable (in the best way possible, of course).

Your Home Away from Home (But with Better Views)

We believe that a personal touch makes all the difference. That’s why we take the time to get to know our guests, share stories, and make sure you feel more like a friend than a tourist. We are absolutely in love with Soča Valley—its mountains, rivers, and breathtaking landscapes—and we want you to fall in love with it too. This place is our home, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. That’s why our motto is: “Your home away from home.”

Why Camping in Soča Valley is the Best Idea Ever

Hotels are nice and all, but let’s be real—camping is where the real magic happens. You wake up to fresh air, birds singing, and zero Wi-Fi stress. You’re not just visiting nature; you’re living in the middle of it! Plus, if you’re into adventure sports like rafting, kayaking, canyoning, zip-lining, or hiking, there’s no better base camp than this.

Must-Do Experiences in Bovec (Trust Us, You Won’t Regret It)

We want you to experience all the magic Soča Valley has to offer. Here are some of our favorite things to do:

  • Hike through Triglav National Park (because breathtaking views beat a treadmill any day)

  • Discover WWI history at the Kluže Museum and Ravelnik outdoor museum (learn something cool while on vacation!)

  • Take a stroll along the emerald Soča River (seriously, it’s so clean you might want to drink it—because you actually can)

  • Visit Boka Waterfall, the greatest in Slovenia (spoiler: it’s huge)

  • Visit Šunik water paradise (for that Instagram-worthy river photos)

  • Drive up to Mt. Mangart, Slovenia’s highest road (prepare to have your mind blown)

  • Get your adrenaline fix with one of the many adventure sports Soča Valley offers (because why not?)

And that’s just the start! Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or just to escape the daily grind, Camp Vodenca is the perfect home base.

The Story Behind the Name Vodenca (Hint: It’s All About Water)

The name Vodenca comes from the Slovenian word “voda,” meaning water. And if there’s one thing we’re ridiculously proud of, it’s our pristine rivers. The Soča is so clean you can literally drink from it (which is both impressive and rare these days). That’s why we named our campsite Vodenca – the water place, because, well, we’re just that obsessed with water.
