Camping in Latgale
Latgale is Latvia's lake district: hundreds of lakes, blue hills and a slower, older rhythm of life in the far southeast. Book a campsite directly from a local host and settle by the water. Riga is about three hours west.
Campsites in Latgale
Latgale campsites hug the lakes: Rāzna, Lubāns and hundreds of smaller ones, most with a sauna hut by the shore. Book directly with the host at a clear nightly price and ask about boats, rowing to an island for a picnic is standard practice here. Distances feel longer, so plan fewer, longer stops.
