Camping : Isreal

Camping Israel’s campsites provide electricity, sanitary facilities, public telephones, first-aid, a restaurant and/or store, and a night guard. Swimming areas are either on the site or nearby. During July and August most camping places charge N1S10-15 per night for adults. For information contact the Israel Camping Union. (See Useful Addresses.)

Think twice before unrolling your sleeping bag in areas not officially designated for camping. Certain stretches of beach are off-limits for camping for security reasons (for example, the coast north of Nahariya), and others have a high incidence of robbery1 (near Haifa, Tel Aviv, and Eilat). Women should not camp alone. Finally, heed mine field warning signs unless you fancy yourself triple-jointed and edible.
