Be considerate to plants, water  and animals. Give back to the land and camp more than you are taking.  

Also, we invite you not to smoke for the period of your stay, but if there is no other way, please do keep  cigarette buts closed with lid in glass jars and when you leave take it with you. 

We are going to leave no trace, and we will make this piece of land more beautiful! 

__Do take extra blankets/sleeping bags, nights in Lika tend to be quiet cold and days quite warm. __ 

Bring your own camping gear including solar showers, knifes, spoons, cooking equipment, ropes, hammocks, 2 way ham radios, flash lights, hiking shoes and other gadgets...
