\u201cIs it safe to drive to Eastern Estonia with a motorhome?\u201d is a question often asked at tourist information points, and frequently discussed on caravan enthusiast forums. Even the most doubtful can now be convinced that it is indeed safe. In the inner courtyard of the massive Hermann Castle guarding Narva, within thick walls under video surveillance and behind gates locked at night, a 10-space caravan park and a separate camping area will open at the beginning of May.<\/p>\n

Previously, since summer 2022, it has already been possible to stay overnight in the fortress managed by Narva Museum<\/span><\/a><\/span> in a modern two-room Courtyard Room apartment. A special feature of this accommodation, located in the castle\u2019s northern courtyard, is that after the museum closes, guests are allowed to light a fire in the courtyard fireplace\u2014for example for grilling\u2014and climb the outdoor stairs to the riverside defensive wall to observe the evening and night across the border river on the eastern side.<\/p>\n

The new caravan park<\/span><\/a><\/span>, located in the recently renovated western courtyard of the medieval fortress, is compact but offers all basic services: electricity connections (6A), access to sanitary facilities (toilets and showers), drinking water refill, mixed waste disposal, and use of the museum\u2019s Wi-Fi network, which helps avoid unintentional mobile roaming on expensive Russian operators\u2019 networks. The courtyard is under 24\/7 video surveillance, and the gate in the castle wall is locked between 22:00 and 7:00 unless an exception is agreed with staff.<\/p>\n

The overnight price for a motorhome or caravan with towing vehicle, including two people and the listed services, is \u20ac34. Additional persons\u2014both adults and children from five years old\u2014pay \u20ac4 each. Dogs are welcome free of charge, provided their owners clean up after them.<\/p>\n

The new caravan park area also includes a disposal point for toilet cassettes and grey water, with a key available for a small fee. Overnight guests receive a 10% discount on museum and art gallery tickets as well as museum shop products, and a 20% discount at the castle\u2019s summer caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Essentially the same services, rules, and benefits are available for campers, who can also store their bicycles securely within the castle courtyard<\/span><\/a><\/span>. The price for a tent pitch for two people is \u20ac24.<\/p>\n

For comparison, caravan parks and campsites near Narva typically charge around \u20ac25 per night per vehicle. The closest option is about three kilometres from Narva at the Vana-Olgina manor grounds. At Saka Manor campsite, 65 kilometres from Narva, the price includes grey water disposal, and at M\u00e4nnisalu next to the Toila Spa Hotel\u201420 kilometres closer to the city\u2014it also includes toilet cassette disposal.<\/p>\n
