»James Warner Smith of Hipcamp, who is also the editor of the Cool Camping guidebooks, recommends Camping Menina in the upper Savinja valley, for its canoeing and rafting access. This is a big, family-run, riverside campsite surrounded by forest. The Savinja River feeds the camp’s lake – there is swimming and paddleboarding on the lake and aquatrekking and bellyaking (kayaking on your belly) down the river. There is also an adrenaline park, sports park, a shop, a pancake house, restaurant and spa. Although there are 200 pitches, they are well spread out. (The Guardian, 2025)
