Campground didnt enforce some rules, like no bikes after dark and dog poop left on our site. Too many thongs walking around campground way too much skin! Cant believe this is not monitored and policed. We camped at Holiday Trav-L-Park Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

Stopped here for a couple days to visit family. In all the facilities were nice. The only complaint I had is although they are listed on ThousandTrails they do not accept it and want you to call and We camped at Holiday Trav-L-Park Resort in a Motorhome.

Definitely tight space. Maneuvering in the park is a little challenging with a big rig but can be done. Unhook if you have a toad at the office....

It's what you make of it.

This is a wonderful spot if you want to avoid the high dollar hotel stays in Virginia Beach. There are a lot of amenities at this place, however you have to pay for some of the activities. This should be included in the price. The RV spots are not even 20 to 25 ft apart from each other. If that. It seems that this park is more in it for the money than the camping experience. That being said, there are a ton of things to do if you have a young family or just want to be rowdy. Lol. I went during memorial weekend, but I was told it's like this all of the time. The site that I had was very uneven. I had to put a 5-in lift on one side of my travel trailer and drop the tongue nearly to the ground due to the uneven pad to park on. Only room enough for one car. Overall it was a good experience, and you can't help but get to know your neighbors. Lol maybe that's what their plan was. Know your neighbors.

Fantastic family vacay spot

Just spent 5 days here and loved it. Wish we had stayed longer. They have 4 pools, lots of old shade trees that provide nice screen during the hot summer, fun activities, and a parking lot near the beach for easy access that was clutch! We are already planning on coming back next year.

Review photo of Holiday Trav-L-Park by beka S., July 31, 2023

Nice Quick Stay

Though the camp spaces were pretty tight with little privacy in the area I was, it wasn't much of an issue for me. I'm in late and out early while traveling. The campground had a lot of amenities and the showers / restrooms were excellent. I will definitely return. Even arriving late wasn't much of an issue, they even called me the next day to check on me, and completed my registration over the phone as I left before the offices open, and would return pretty late too.

Worst campground ever. Employee smackwd my 7 year old daughter, they used my camper without permission over the winter as I was paying to have it stored and it came back to me broken and missing many items. This is my second summer here and this is the second summer they treated us horribly as all we have dune is love this place and the people until all of this came out.

Travel retreat

I was there for a week for a work. It was a bit crowed for my liking. Your neighbors are extremely close to you. Seemed like they had a lot to do for children. I did like that they had a trolley that comes by and takes you to the oceanfront and they have a parking pass if you decide to take your car to the ocean front. I do not like that the quiet hours start at 11:00 pm. We had a new family rent the lot next to us and they were very loud. They started drinking in the early afternoon and by the evening they were pretty lit. Their music was blaring. I called the front office at 1115pm and no one picked and of course no one was there. They should at least have security around for instances like that.

My family has been camping at this campground since 2006. I first came and stayed with my boyfriend and his mom (She worked at the gas station). Then for my 18th,19th,20th Birthday my mom rented us a camp site with a golf cart for 1-2 to weeks in July-Aug. The day of my birthday July 28th we invited our friends to come to my birthday party. I never had a bad experience during those times I've camped here. I've had a cabin, tent and RV s

Large resort, several types of sites

This is a very large RV resort with many amenities and several types of sites to pick from… I would pick my site over the phone and be specific on what you want, grass pad vs concrete vs gravel vs mud.

Review photo of Holiday Trav-L-Park by Todd M., March 12, 2022

This place is huge! Great amenities, but hardly any are open during the winter and it seems many have been closed due to covid. Store, game room, and restaurant is closed. They do have a heated indoor pool, laundry, numerous restrooms, and a great dog park. There is yard/tiki art and paintings around the park. The mini golf course is a bit run down, but it's free during off season and the course greens are in good shape. I would love to see the place in the summer.

Nicholas S.

Great Spot near the beach

This is a great campground full of amenities! Easy pull in spots with plenty of room. Really friendly staff too! We might stay another night just because we like it so much.

Review photo of Holiday Trav-L-Park by Nicholas S., November 21, 2021

Great location, close to the beach, lots of local amenities.

We really like staying here, it has full hookups, always seems to have space, and there’s something fore everyone right here or nearby. Only drawback is the jet noise from the nearby Oceana Naval Airbase.

Star C.

Touristy Campground with shuttle to VB oceanfront

This is a convenient place to stay close to the oceanfront if you’re going to be spending time along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. They have lots of amenities as well as putt-put and several pools. 

There are various sections and some of the higher priced sites are very well kept but the newer pull through sites in the rear of the park flooded really badly when we were there and we had constant construction from backhoes and building crews, which took away front the relaxation somewhat. The tent sites are fairly nice unless it rains, which means floating on your air mattress. We had a fairly good experience with our travel trailer but it would have been miserable with a tent setup. 

We’ve stayed a couple times prior to getting our camper and have had a good experience overall. The comfort stations are fairly clean but some are nice than others and you don’t know until after arrival if the closest ones are the better ones. There’s quite a division between the fancy side with full hookups and the sites with partial hookups.

Loved the trees

We had a great time in Va Beach. I loved the camp ground and everyone was super friendly. The beach bus comes to the campground even though we did not use it. And they have a parking lot available for guests to use for no charge at the beach around 9 th street. We loved it.

Great weekend stay!

Took the RV for a quick weekend getaway and this was the perfect place!

The decorations were all so great! Pools, bathrooms, cafe all very clean! There is even a food truck that comes! Or if you need a break from the campground you could always get a trolly ride into VA Beach!

All in all great stay!

Close to everywhere we wanted to be!

We stayed at Holiday Trav-L-Park in Virginia Beach for the first time for 3 nights in July.  As our travel trailer is small, we were able to stay in site #152.  This site had water and electric, was close to a bathhouse, close to the pool, close to the camp store, and also close to the front entrance.  By being an end site, we had more space and privacy than our neighbors, plus we had morning and afternoon shade.

During the time we were there we visited the oceanfront, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge (south of VA Beach), Sandbridge, First Landing State Park (64th St and Shore drive), and the VA Aquarium.  All were easy drives from the campground.

In the evenings we thoroughly enjoyed going to the main pool where a DJ kept everyone dancing and smiling (and swimming).

The bathrooms were clean, showers were hot, and facilities were well taken care of.  We hope to go back again!

The campground Is large with 4 pools. It seems to need a bit more maintenance, some if the equipment is old and in need of repair. The rental bikes need to be replaced. Our site was small for our RV and we asked to move over to the one next to us. They said they couldn't move us. When the camper next door came in (2 days later) it was a class c and could easily fit in our spot. Website did not list dimensions and when we called they said it would fit. The web site also said subject to site changes.

Great place

We always have a great time here. Music and bands and events usually on weekends. Plenty to do on the grounds, many pools available and good level sites mostly

Shaded, Nice

Shady sites. Nice people. Easy access to beach with free parking lot or trolley. Well monitored entrance.

Harold C.

Our Northern Estate, on the road

Nice campground, our 17’ tt on lot #283 a short site we fit fine, full hook up our sight was crowned and stone. Oceana air base is near, fighters flying by and over all the time, so loud so cool, wow! Free parking lot, down on Pacific and 9th at beach area, curtesy of campground. Huge camp store kids will love lots for all. A heated covered pool, putt putt, much more.

Great RV Park near the beach

This is a large modern RV park with all the usual amenities and then some! Full hookups, lots of pull-thru sites, cable tv, multiple pools, multiple camp stores, playgrounds, mini golf, and more. All without leaving the property. Staff even collects trash daily. Sites are a little close, but everyone we met was very friendly. You should know that the park is under the flight path of the local naval base, so expect jet noise, but it wasn’t terrible during our stay. We stayed in the off season, so I think the place is a bit more manicured in the summer. The best perk is a free parking lot right at the beach just for people staying here. It was a short drive and a very nice perk.

Review photo of Holiday Trav-L-Park by Sean M., April 15, 2021

Unimpressed

The facility is huge. The staff was very nice. Spent a week here in the off season. The site was half gravel and half grass. The grading wasn’t great and the gravel was thin. Lots of water puddles and the grass was swampy. I spent more time vacuuming than I should have.

The roads around the campground could use repair.

The main playground was a mud pit. No mulch or sand to absorb the water. The other playgrounds were small and/or run down. The mini golf course is run down - missing bricks and flooded ball holes.

The laundry facility was clean and in working order.

There also isn’t much diversity in this area.

We don’t plan to return.

Winter break fun!

This was our maiden voyage for the family RV--we decided on this destination kind of on a whim and were happy with our decision. We've been tent campers forever and were excited to see what RV camping was all about.

This is a HUGE complex with various "levels" of sites. From basic to fancy, crowded to sparse. I think we would've felt a little claustrophobic if it were the summer, but this was great for us in the off season. Our loop was packed and gravelly, but others open during the off season were a little more roomy and "polished."

We enjoyed biking all over the place (including a family-friendly bike trail to the VB boardwalk), playing on the many small playgrounds, swimming in the dome-covered pool (there are three more of them for warm weather), playing mini-golf, and enjoying our time.

Bathroom/shower houses were clean and well-positioned close to all of the camping loops.

Great Campground

One of my favorite campgrounds in the Mid-Atlantic region!

Ashley I.

Not a bad campground, nice area. LOTS of overhead noise from jets (you do get use to it).

Some people in the campground started BLARING music at 2am and just partying hard. Tried to contact ANYONE to make it stop, but no one ever answered phones or contacted us back (or said anything to the obnoxious people). Said something to staff the next day and they didn't seem to care. Won't be back.

Never disappoints

We have been coming to this campground since we 1st started camping about 3 years ago and we ALWAYS have a good time! The sites are always clean with the grass cut. The staff is always friendly and they all work hard to make sure you enjoy your time. Weve stayed all over the park; full hookup, water and electric only, super sites...they are all fantastic! If your looking for a great family trip Holiday Travel park is your place!

Will stay here again

This place is large and can be crowded, but they keep the place very nice and clean. The staff is very nice. They are always out checking, maintaining, cleaning and easy to find for help. Nice ride to the beach and many activities in the park and around the park. The pools were clean and water temp was nice. I would definitely stay there again.

Not Recommended as a First Choice

2 nights of camping to shake down our new Geo Pro. The facility is huge (700 spaces) but crowded and expensive. Our site was mostly gravel or a deck built on what looked like pallets. No good place to really lay out our own stuff under the awning without the other stuff getting in the way. Live in Va Beach - this hardly represents the best we have to offer. All the state Parks are 1st class. This should only be a last resort.

LOCATION-LOCATION- LOCATION

Close to the oceanfront, nice pool, snack bar & activities for the kiddos. Ocean Breeze Fun Park, Motor World & The VA Aquarium are all super close. Pretty solid choice for a family looking to entertain a bunch of kids

Nice campground

We have stayed here numerous times and have made many memories! The atmosphere is very laid back and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and shower houses are always very clean as well as the cabins. I gave four stars because in the last few times we've stayed its VERY crowded and I think it overwhelms the staff. The pools are nice and clean but can get crowded as expected. Very good campground though imo and we are going back in july.

Da’Paul F.

Nice and relaxing

Best campground in the Va Beach area. 1 mile roughly to the ocean front but they have there own beach parking lot and provide you with a parking pass for use. Nice cozy stores. Several pools to choose from so you don’t have to be packed in at one main pool with all the campground guests. Wooded with nice sized sites and plenty of wildlife. Have stayed 4 times and plan to have many more stays in the future

Fuerteventura family holidays: A beach full of different shaped kites flying in the wind

School’s out and it is time to have fun! But, where can you travel to that offers year-round sunshine? Fuerteventura is the second largest island in the Canary Islands and is an ideal destination to visit with little ones in tow. Its strategic location off the coast of West Africa provides it with eternal springlike temperatures ensuring that it is never too hot and never too cold.

When to book your Fuerteventura family holidays

Unless you are travelling with a baby, you will be largely restricted by school holidays . But, not to worry. While the north of Europe is plunged into a deep freeze, Fuerteventura boasts highs of 22ºC. In the summer, temperatures can soar into the mid-30s. If you are keen to delve into the culture of the Canary Islands and enjoy outdoor pursuits such as hiking or cycling, the Autumn and Winter season is the perfect time to visit. Alternatively, if endless beach days are your dream holiday plan , the summer provides back-to-back sunshine. So, now that you know when to visit, these are the plans to bookmark for your trip.

Fuerteventura is a fantastic island for kids

1. Visit the Ajuy Caves during your family holidays in Fuerteventura

Little ones will be thrilled by the idea of being cavemen for the day. Adults, on the other hand, will be fascinated by this natural wonder. Located in the small town of Ajuy, in the Betancuria Rural Park , this cave system is the oldest on the island and contains precious marine fossils. Access to the caves is free and there is a small black sand beach surrounding them. Tell your kids stories about the island’s fiery, volcanic history and the aboriginal inhabitants that once lived inside the island’s caves. Ajuy is also a great spot for trying local Canaria cuisine with many of the island’s top restaurants located here.

2. Discover the Corralejo Dunes

In our books, when in Fuerteventura, Corralejo family holidays must all involve a trip to the dunes. If you have been on holiday to Morocco or even to neighbouring Gran Canaria , you may have already experienced the magic of desert-like dunes. Here in Fuerteventura, the Corralejo Dunes are located in the Corralejo Natural Park , offering picturesque surroundings and plenty of photo opportunities. Marvel at the undulating sandy surroundings and combine this outing with a trip to one of the nearby beaches complete with crystalline waters.

3. The best family holidays in Fuerteventura are spent at the beach

While we are on the topic of the best beaches on the island , it is safe to say that there is one beach in particular that kids will love. The Popcorn Beach . Located on the north coast of Fuerteventura closeby to Corralejo, this beach gets its name from the small white algae fossils that cover the coastline. These fossils mimic the appearance of popcorn. But be warned, they are not edible. In fact, the beach is a protected area and no one is allowed to take any of the fossils with them. Let your kids admire this cool natural phenomenon before heading off to one of the nearby beaches for a day of sandcastles and sunshine.

4. Watersports for all ages

If you are travelling with a brood of daredevils and adrenaline junkies, fill your Fuerteventura family holidays with watersports. Famous for windsurfing , the island also offers plenty of places to enjoy traditional surfing, kayaking, snorkelling and diving among other thrilling adventures. The good news? You don’t need to be an expert to join in the fun. Many beaches have schools close by, allowing absolute beginners to try their hand at various watersports under the safety and supervision of a qualified instructor.

5. Hike the Calderón Hondo volcano trail

Kids will feel like an intrepid explorer when you take them to the Volcán Calderón Hondo . This is one of the most fun and exciting plans in Fuerteventura with kids , especially if it is their first encounter with a volcano. Located in the small town of Lajares, on the northern coast of Fuerteventura, the volcano reaches 278 metres in height with a crater 70 metres deep. If your kids are not used to hiking, opt for the short route which lasts 45 minutes and culminates in breathtaking views across the whole island.

6. Become artisans on your Fuerteventura family holiday

If you are looking for something different during your luxury family holidays in Fuerteventura, a craft workshop in the town of Lajares is the answer. Famous for its craft market, this town invites travellers young and old to tune into their creativity and become artisans for the day. Look out for artist workshops that offer classes or initiatives such as Otro Mar which offers dedicated ceramic workshops. What is better than taking home a handmade souvenir from your Fuerteventura family holidays?

7. Pop into a museum during your family holidays to Fuerteventura

Escape the Fuerteventura family holiday resorts and feed curious minds with a trip to one of the many themed museums on the island. You will be spoilt for choice! Nestled in Salinas del Carmen , kids can discover the salt-making process in the Museo de Sal. Cheese-loving little ones will be fascinated by a trip to the Museo de Queso Majorero, a museum dedicated to the local cheese-making process in the town of Antigua. One that is not to be missed is the Alcogida Ecomuseum which even includes an animal sanctuary.

8. Travel back in time to the Old Mill

When it comes to family holidays, Fuerteventura knows how to pull out the stops and keep kids occupied. The Old Mill, the El Molina de Antigua offers a glimpse into the island’s rural past. This enormous structure will have kids in awe with its impressive engineering and fascinating portrayal of what life was like for Fuerteventura peasants back in the day. Here, the traditional Canarian flour, Gofio, was milled. Don’t forget to take home a bag to try. It is delicious mixed into soups.

9. Cool off at the Acua Water Park

If you are looking for the best family holiday, Fuertevenura’s water parks will provide hours of fun for children of all ages. Located in Corralejo, Acua Water Park offers water slides, themed pools, a lazy river and many other attractions. Spend the day cooling off from the heat splashing in and out of the various rides and leisure areas. There are even places within the park for kids as young as 3 to enjoy some family time.

10. Island hop to the Isla de Lobos

While you will never have a dull moment during your all-inclusive family holidays in Fuerteventura, a trip to the Isla de Lobos is recommended. Hop on a ferry and venture to the island of wolves. This island gets its name from the large sea lions that once lived in the island’s waters. This uninhabited islet is an ideal getaway from the cheap family holidays in Fuerteventura , offering a unique opportunity to admire untouched nature. Once on the island, kids can pass the time snorkelling, swimming, or paddle boarding on the crystalline waters while adults soak up the sun on a secluded cove.

Travel Tips to Kabardino-Balkaria: More than Mt. Elbrus!

If you’ve traveled to the North Caucasus before, there is a good chance you’ve already been to Kabardino-Balkaria, and you didn’t even know it!  Kabardino-Balkaria lies in the center of the North Caucasus region, is home to Mt. Elbrus, but more than that is a treasure chest of travel possibilities.  Here is our guide to traveling through the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, or 9 travel tips to this beautiful land:

1. How do I get there?

Kabardino-Balkaria hosts a large number of both foreign and Russian travelers every year, and has an improving infrastructure able to handle the incoming masses.  Let’s start with the obvious.  You might be a mountain climber or skier coming to enjoy the slopes of Mt. Elbrus.  That means you’re likely arriving on an airplane to Russia.  Here are your travel options:

A. Plane – We advise you fly into the Mineralni Vodi (MRV) airport in the Stavropol Region, which is about 45 minutes from the border of Kabardino-Balkaria.  MRV is the largest airport in the North Caucasus, and has daily direct flights to and from all 3 airpots in Moscow (SVO, DME, and VKO), direct flights from St. Petersburg, and several international flight routes as well, including from Istanbul, Dubai, Greece, Tel Aviv, and Bishkek.  The MRV airport has a growing infrastructure and is the most obvious choice to fly into if going to Elbrus.  From MRV, it’s a 2 hr. drive to Nalchik, and a 3.5 hr. drive to Mt. Elbrus.

That being said, the capital of Kabardino-Balkaria, Nalchik (NAL), also has a small regional airport with a daily flight to/from Moscow as well as weekly flights to Istanbul. As is to be expected in most smaller, regional airports around Russia, the service standard at a small airport like this will be minimal.  As a result, we recommend you flying in and out of MRV if able.  It’s a 2 hr. drive to Elbrus from Nalchik.  You can also fly into other regional airports which are 2 hrs. from Nalchik, such as OGZ in North Ossetia (Vladikavkaz) or IGT in Ingushetia (Magas).

B.  Car/Public Transport – If you have a car, are using a taxi, or are hitch-hiking your way to Kabardino-Balkaria, the region is accessible by a variety of roads and vehicles.  A major Russian federal highway E50 runs through Pyatigorsk into Kabardino-Balkaria, and can take you towards Mt. Elbrus, Nalchik, and deeper into the North Caucasus.  There are daily mini-buses, or “marshrutkas”, that travel to Nalchik from Pyatigorsk, Vladikavkaz, Grozny, and Magas, if you’re coming from a neighboring republic.  From the main Nalchik bus station, there is a marshrutka that goes to Terskol (i.e. Mt. Elbrus) daily around 12:30 pm; for that matter,  marshrutkas run daily into every valley of this beautiful republic.  For the seasoned international traveler, you can drive from the country of Georgia up the famed “Georgian Military Highway” through the heart of the Caucasus Mountains, cross the border into Russia at the “Verkhni Lars” border stop, and be in Nalchik in about 2.5 hours as well. 

holiday travel park

Anyone traveling on their own should download the “Yandex” taxi app, which is Russia’s version of Uber, and has a very user-friendly app with affordable prices.  In smaller villages/towns where Yandex’s service doesn’t reach, just ask a local and they’ll direct you to a friend or relative who can taxi you where you need to go!

C.  Train – Kabardino-Balkaria is also very accessible by the famous cross-country Russian train system if that’s your preferred method of travel.  Almost all trains to the North Caucasus pass through Mineralni Vodi in the Stavropol region to the north, so make sure wherever you are coming from, Mineralni Vodi is one of the stops.  Despite Nalchik having a train station, the city is about 45 minutes from the main railway route that runs diagonal through the North Caucasus, and as a result it’s a bit convoluted to get a train directly to Nalchik.  That being said, the town Prokhladni is a regular stop on trains going to/coming from Baku, Makhachkala, Grozny, Nazran, and Vladikavkaz, so you can always hop off there and find your way by public transport or taxi.

2.  What are the best places to stay?

This list could get exhaustive, fast. 🙂  Let’s first look at an overview of the republic’s geography, followed by hotel recommendations:

A. Nalchik – This is the capital city of Kabardino-Balkaria, with a population of around 250,000.  Nalchik is growing and new, modern hotels are being built regularly.  Here are some of our recommendations:

-Modern and comfortable:  Azimut , Butik Otel

-Budget with less frills:  Hotel Rossia , Korona

You could comfortably spend a week in Nalchik, while doing day trips into Kabardino-Balkaria’s beautiful mountain valleys.

B.  Baksan Valley – This is the most traveled road in Kabardino-Balkaria, the road to Mt. Elbrus.  If you have questions about its safety because of travel warnings, please see our detailed blog here of the drive to erase any doubts or fears.  Needless to say, because of the draw of Mt. Elbrus, there are a huge variety of lodging options at the end of this valley, from 4-star to mid-range to budget to hostel.  Here are just a few we’ll recommend from our experience:

-Modern and comfortable 4-star-ish:  Azau Star , Kristall 139

-Budget with less frills 3-star-ish:   Laguna , Povorot

If you’re a mountain climber with your sites set on the summit of Elbrus, you’ll have to spend at least 3-4 nights at Elbrus’s famous base camp at 13,000 feet.  The “barrel huts” are not easy to book directly with, and we highly recommend you do your climb (and hence, have your bookings handled) through a trusted climbing company.  Here are two shelters at base camp we recommend:

-Modern and comfortable:  Leaprus

-Budget with less frills:  Heart of Elbrus Lodge

If you’re interested in climbing Mt. Elbrus and staying in these barrel huts, click  here  to see our climbing itineraries, pricing, and group dates.

C.  Chegem Valley – Chegem Valley is the adjacent valley to Elbrus’s Baksan Valley, and is famous for its beautiful waterfalls as well as being Russia’s top paragliding location.  The “ Paradrome ” has modest accommodations for those wanting to get to know this beautiful valley for a longer period of time.

holiday travel park

D.  Upper Balkaria, or Cherek Valley – This is another beautiful mountain gorge not too far from Nalchik.  There is an authentic lodging complex in Upper Balkaria called Tau-El, with amazing local food for meals as well.

holiday travel park

E.  Border Zone lodging – Several of Kabardino-Balkaria’s mountain gorges run into the border zone with neighboring country Georgia, i.e. an area that foreigners cannot enter without a special permit from the local government (often taking 2 months to receive).  There is a famous mountaineering lodge in Bezengi Valley, where several generations of Russian mountain climbers have honed their craft in the Caucasus Mountains.  Perpendicular to Baksan Valley (about 25 minutes from the base of Mt. Elbrus) is Adyr-Suu Valley, where there is a lodge for back-country skiers to stay, while trying their hands (and feet!) on the untouched snow of that valley.  Both these valleys require border permits for foreigners, but are possible to access for the more adventurous!

3.  Top cities to visit?

Most locals would agree that Nalchik is the main city of significance to visit in Kabardino-Balkaria, but let’s be honest, even more would say, “Just go to the mountains!”  Tirnauz is the capital of the Elbrus district, and is an interesting town to spend some time in, with its unique location in the mountains and place in Soviet history as a once-booming mining town.  The main thing to consider in visiting Nalchik and other cities in the lowlands, is the chance to experience Kabardian culture and food.  Whereas the deeper you go into the valleys, the more you’ll encounter Balkar culture and food.

4.  Best local foods to try?

There are 3 types of food that come to mind, when spending time in Kabardino-Balkaria:

A. Khychiny – This is one of the staple national dishes of the Balkar people, and what you’ll inevitably be served if guests of local Balkars.  It’s a thin buttery flat bread, sometimes cooked with fillings of cottage cheese, fresh greens, or potatoes.  It is often slathered in butter, but wow is that some tasty greasy goodness! 🙂

holiday travel park

B.  Shashlik – Shashlik is a MUST for any visit anywhere in the North Caucasus!  Most people would agree that it’s the national food of the entire region.  Shashlik is meat shish kabobs; while pork and turkey can be found in some parts of the Caucasus, lamb or chicken are the preferred shashlik meats of choice in Kabardino-Balkaria. 

C.  Soup – No matter where you are in Russia, you’re sure to find a local soup that people love.  Kabardino-Balkaria is no different.  Especially in the winter months in the mountain valleys, there’s nothing better than to come inside from the cold weather and warm your body up to a bowl of hearty Caucasus soup.  Whether Georgian kharcho or local Balkar lakhman, make sure to try your hand at one of these soups with a side of fresh baked bread/lavash!

holiday travel park

5.  Top Hole-In-The-Wall restaurants:

Of course, for a republic of this size, we’re bound to leave at least a few great local joints off our list, but here are a few to get you started. ***Note:  Restaurants in the North Caucasus are much better known for their food than their service, so prepare for tasty food, but manage your expectations about service:

-Elbrus – Kogutai Restaurant at Mt. Cheget – While this isn’t a hole-in-the-wall restaurant per se, it’s one of many to choose from in the Cheget tourist village, and we have found them to provide consistently good food and service.  Kogutai has a nice interior, and maybe most important, an English-language menu with good pictures. 🙂  There also is a nice outdoor patio with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains.

-Nalchik #1 – Tameris Restaurant – This is a cafe with a relaxed atmosphere in the capital Nalchik.  Local tour company Elbrus Elevation has taken foreign groups there on multiple occasions and always had good experiences.  Address is ul. Kuliyeva 3. 

-Nalchik #2 – Cafe-Bar Oasis – You have to know where this restaurant is to find it, but once inside, you won’t regret it!  There is a unique cafeteria-style ordering process, that includes several dishes being cooked on the spot once ordered.  You can sample local Kabardian dishes here.  The seating area is very modern and a pleasant atmosphere to have a meal in.  Address is ul. Kuliyeva 2. 

-Upper Balkaria – Tau-El Restaurant – This is the restaurant part of the Tau-El Tourist Complex in Upper Balkaria.  Whether spending the night or just passing through, make sure to stop here for a meal!

6.  Must-See Sites

This republic is so chock full of “must-see” destinations, it’s impossible to narrow the list down.  Here are just a few suggestions to get you started: (***Mt. Elbrus is a no-brainer and we’re assuming that’s on your list)

A. El-Tyubu and Paradrome – This is an amazing area towards the end of Chegem Valley.  Many tourists visit the famous Chegem Waterfalls and don’t drive any further down this gorge, which really is a shame.  El-Tyubu is a picturesque Balkar village with several historical sites to see, including some ancient mausoleums.  The real gem of the area, though, is the Paradrome , which is Russia’s premier paragliding destination.  The combination of the scenic surrounding mountains and constant winds produces almost daily conditions to sail through the beautiful Caucasus sky.  Highly recommend!

holiday travel park

B.  Upper Balkaria – Also known as Cherek Valley, the entire drive to the actual village of Upper Balkaria is one big destination.  First, you can spend time at the 3 consecutive “ Blue Lakes ”, one of which is one of Russia’s deepest lakes with an underground spring.  Then, the drive itself becomes an adventure, as you pass by steep rock walls with a huge drop-off on the other side.  If you’re able to walk this part of the road, that is a bonus!  Once you’ve made your way through the valley walls, the region opens up into a beautiful panoramic view.  Many years ago, there were multiple villages in this region, but they’ve since been condensed into one main village.  You can see some of the ancient Balkar towers that their ancestors used to live in as well.

C.  Djili-Suu – Although hard to pronounce and not easy to get to, Djili-Suu is one of those places in the North Caucasus that people rave about that you “have to” visit.  It’s actually on the North side of Mt. Elbrus, and more accessible from the Mineral Waters region (2 hrs. from Kislovodsk).  The base camp for Elbrus climbers summiting the mountain from the North side is at Djili-Suu.  This area is famous in Russia for its numerous natural healing springs, as well as unique climate conditions that make for beneficial, long holidays for seeking a respite from their daily grind.  There are wide swaths of land available for camping, with probably the most unrivaled views of Mt. Elbrus in the North Caucasus.  Make sure to check this out!

7.  Off-the-beaten path destinations

holiday travel park

A. King’s Waterfalls (Tsarskie), or Gedmisht – Probably the valley in Kabardino-Balkaria with the least amount of hype is the Malka Valley, which is the northernmost valley and mainly runs through the Kabardian lowlands.  At the point where the villages end, though (Khabas), the asphalt turns into dirt and the hills start to rise, culminating with the incredible King’s Waterfalls, or as one friend put it, Avatar Waterfalls.  These stunning waterfalls are best visited in the early summer, when everything is lush green and the water flow is strong, with many streams of water flowing down the earth’s surface.  The different colors are incredible and it’s hard to look away.  Once you’ve enjoyed the waterfalls, enjoy a meal of shashlik at one of the nearby lunch huts.  Having an off-road vehicle is ideal to visit these falls, but worth the time and effort!

B.  One-seater chair lift at Elbrus – As the infrastructure at Mt. Elbrus has modernized, some of the more “authentic” experiences have gone to the way-side.  This is one experience still available, though!  From the 2nd (11,000 ft.) to 3rd level (12,500 ft.) of Mt. Elbrus (whether skiing, going to base camp, or just touring), there is a single-seater chair lift for 100 rubles each way (less than $2).  This is an amazing experience if you have the time.  It’s 8-10 minutes each way, and a surreal experience of the majestic Caucasus mountain range surrounding you, skiers silently passing you by underneath, and in general enjoying the silent expanse of nature all around.  The chair lifts are from the Soviet times and so it feels like something from a different era.  For mountain climbers, the newer group cable car gives better access to most of base camp, but several huts are pretty close to this chair lift, so it still may be a good option for you.

C.  Abandoned Mines above Tirnauz – Tirnauz is about 1 hr. from Mt. Elbrus, and a town everyone drives through to and from the mountain.  Although today it looks old and half-abandoned, it was a booming mining town in the 20th century.  About a 45-minute drive above the city with an off-road vehicle, you can see the remains of the mining operations.  Learning about this history combined with the breath-taking views of the Baksan Valley and even into Georgia, you’ll wonder why more people aren’t visiting this place.  This is a great spot to see eagles soaring in the sky, as well as admire the Soviet city plan of Tirnauz from above.

8.  What do I need border zone passes to visit?

In Russia, any area within 5-10 km of a neighboring country, without a clearly delineated border (i.e. in the mountains) is considered a special border zone, and patrolled by Russian border guards.  This area IS accessible to all Russian citizens with their passports, but is NOT legally accessible to foreign citizens UNLESS you have a special permit from the FSB (Federal Security Bureau).  These permits are accessible, either through a tour operator or local friend, but require you to submit your application 45-60 days in advance.

Areas in Kabardino-Balkaria that are worth a visit if you have a border zone pass:

A.  Bezengi Wall – This is at the end of the Bezengi Valley, and holds a place of lore among Russian mountain climbers.  Many mountain guides go through training in this valley.  Five of the Caucasus Mountain’ range’s highest seven peaks are a part of the Bezengi Wall, so you can imagine the draw it has for climbers. There are great areas for trekking and camping in this area. 

B.  Adyr-Suu Gorge – This remote valley runs perpendicular to Baksan Valley and is about 25 minutes from the base of Mt. Elbrus.  It’s marked at the entrance by a relic of the past, a car lift from Soviet days that auto-cranks your car (and you) about 50 meters up the mountain.  After 45-60 minutes of driving on gravel road, the gorge opens up into a flat valley with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.  The Adyr-Suu Alpine Lodge is at the end of this valley and where back-country skiers base out of during the acclimatization phase of their Mt. Elbrus ski tours.  This is truly a place where you can experience untouched powder!

holiday travel park

C.  Mt. Cheget (Elbrus) – Cheget is a neighboring mountain to Mt. Elbrus and where many climbers will acclimatize, both at its base and while doing some hikes.  It also is famous in Russia for its free-ride terrain for more experienced skiers.  Standard access to the chair lifts and mountain are available to all (i.e. mountain climbers don’t need to worry about accidentally crossing into the zone), but anyone wanting to summit the peak of Cheget OR visit the beautiful Cheget Lake needs a border permit. 

holiday travel park

Foreigners violating the border zone areas is considered a serious offense in Russia; make sure to do your due diligence if wanting to visit one of these areas!  We highly recommend using a local tour operator and always traveling with a local person if visiting one of these areas.

9.  Any cultural “do’s” or “don’t’s” to be aware of

holiday travel park

Kabardino-Balkaria is a fascinating republic with a combination of traditional and modern society.  The more you interact with local people, the more you’ll see a mixture of Muslim faith, post-Soviet mentality, and ancient local traditions all wrapped together.   

Kabardians mainly live in the lowlands (Nalchik, Baksan, and lowland villages), while Balkars primarily live in the mountain valleys (Elbrus, Chegem, Upper Balkaria, etc.).  There is a large population of Russians in the region as well.  Foreigners visit every area of the region regularly, and so local people are used to and will welcome your presence.

Come with an open mind to learn about these peoples, their traditions, and their land.  You won’t regret your trip to Kabardino-Balkaria!
