Tourists reviews
First of all, Sokolniki camping is popular with caravaners (members of a single community of car travelers). Many of them every year in a friendly and warm company gather in this place "with a samovar and buns" most often in the summer or early autumn. People like to gather in the company of like-minded people and have a good time in the lap of nature.
One "inventive" visitor to Moscow decided to save on living in the capital and ... rented a mobile home several times cheaper. He lived for his pleasure in the center of the capital in the fresh air for the entire period of the trip.
Tourists vacationing at the campsite with the children noted that their children really liked the flat asphalt paths for cycling.
All vacationers were unanimous about the convenience of the location of Sokolniki camping with the park. Some tourists were "somehow calmer" from the realization that "civilization is nearby."
