We offer modern toilets, showers, clean bed linen, good drinks and fresh food. We have everything a tired traveler needs. 🍽️ The campsite accepts many guests from all over the world, they usually gather for breakfast and dinner on the terrace or in the dining room, but the campsite provides enough space for privacy.

We recommend to use 4x4 cars and tyres for dirt roads. ⛽ Gas Stations In the villages of Saryozek (on the way from Almaty) and Chundzha, or Shonzhy (on the way from Charyn). Basshi has one old gas station, which sometimes lacks fuel. 📝 Passes (Permits) You must purchase your entry permit at the national park office in Basshi (a 2-minute drive from our campsite).
