"Upper Forest"
The beauty of these places and the fresh river air - this is what makes tourists carefully choose camp sites on the Volga. Samara and its remoteness from noisy vacation spots here also play a big role. Near the city is the base "Upper Bor", designed for 71 vacationers.

"Aviator"
If we look at Samara camp sites on the banks of the Volga, we can come across Aviator, a place for rest, located near the village of Volzhsky. Near the sandy beach are wooden log cabins and guest houses. Many tourists come here because of the relatively inexpensive prices and the opportunity to admire the tranquility of the Volga - in this place the water almost always behaves calmly.

The reservation for one room costs from 10 to 15 thousand rubles per day, while for each additional place you will have to pay another 500 rubles.
"Spark"
If you do not want to relax in the city, it is best to go to campsites on the Volga: Samara is literally surrounded by similar institutions. One of these is the Iskra, built near the village of Podgora on the river bank. The base is located in the Samara Luka National Park and has its own sandy beach.
Here you can rent a summer house of various capacities and categories ("A", "B" and "C"). The base is mainly focused on water recreation, so there is a lot of relevant infrastructure: boats, catamarans, kayaks, bananas, etc. The prices for daily living here range from 500 to 1100 rubles at the peak season (June-August) , in the remaining months, prices are slightly lower. Meals are not included in the price and amounts to 580 rubles per day.
Reviews
Samara hostels, reviews of which are mostly positive, are very popular among the local population. Most often, city dwellers go on holiday to Sosenki, Rook, Mayak and Verkhny Bor, and each time they are satisfied with a high culture of service, quality service and constantly updated infrastructure.
Some guests of camp sites located far from Samara note a lack of staff, which negatively affects the overall quality of service. On the territory of bases built far from major highways, the administrator can perform the functions of a maid and a porter, which, according to the guests, is not entirely correct.
As it was before?
Earlier in the region there were more recreational facilities. Especially popular was the Bereg camp site (Samara), with dedicated buses going there twice a day. Unfortunately, in the late 1990s it ceased to be in demand, and therefore it was closed.
In total, about three dozen bases that previously existed in the region were closed. The reasons for this were very different: undeveloped infrastructure, remoteness from settlements, poor service. Some properties were purchased by the new owners and began to generate revenue again after repair and re-equipment.
Conclusion
Samara camps are mostly open year-round, but there are those that close for the winter. Before planning a vacation, it is best to clarify the working hours of the base, the cost and living conditions, since these parameters can change periodically. Also, be sure to specify what conditions are offered for children if you plan to relax with the whole family.
Reviews say that it is best to go on vacation in early June, as it is at this time of year that tourist centers offer a large number of discounts and last-minute packages that you can take advantage of. However, if you didn’t succeed, you should not be upset, because even at the “peak” time of the year you can easily choose the cheapest one from a large number of bases and save a tidy sum.
