Camping Dacica, Alun — a small campsite in Hunedoara County

Information updated on 12 November 2026. Contact the campsite before travelling to confirm opening, availability and the total price for your stay.

Address, map and contact
Plan a stay: Dacian fortresses and the Hunedoara countryside
Suggested stay: 3 nights. Checked: 12 November 2026.
Choose this base for archaeology and a slower rural stay. The nearby Dacian sites deserve separate days, especially when access roads are slow.

What to visit

• Piatra Roșie Dacian fortress — A heritage-and-walking outing; ask the hosts about the current approach and a route suited to your group. Find on Google Maps.
  
• Sarmizegetusa Regia — Plan a separate day for the Dacian capital. It is a different site from the Roman Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa. Find on Google Maps.
  

A suggested itinerary

• First full day: a locally advised Piatra Roșie outing, then time back at camp.
  
• Second full day: Sarmizegetusa Regia only if the approach, weather and visiting arrangements work for your vehicle; avoid packing several remote ruins into one afternoon.
  

Food and supplies
Arrange a guesthouse meal before arrival and mention dietary requirements. Carry a picnic for the archaeological outing.
Do the main food shop before the rural approach, using Hațeg or your preceding larger town. Do not rely on finding a supermarket beside camp.

Arriving with your vehicle
Ask for up-to-date road advice, especially with a long caravan or low clearance. Day trips may be easier using the towing car or an agreed local transfer.

Guest reports and booking checks
Two August 2024 Tripadvisor reports praise camping cleanliness and food, while warning about the approach road and limited nearby shopping. These are historical experiences. Tripadvisor: August 2024.

Access — check this before following your satnav
The operator gives the approach via DJ668A, with approximately the last 7 km unpaved. From the A1, its suggested approach is through Călan, Streisângeorgiu, Ohaba Streiului, Chitid, Boșorod, Luncani Vale and Alun.

The official contact page specifically warns against the route through Costești–Târsa–Prihodiște, describing it as impassable. Ask about current road conditions and suitability for your vehicle length before towing a caravan up the final section. A map pin identifies the destination; it does not guarantee a suitable driving route.

Camping facilities
The English camping page lists limited space for motorhomes, caravans and tents, with electricity and water connections. Shared facilities include heated washrooms with toilets and hot showers, a covered terrace and a communal summer kitchen. Availability should be checked by phone because the camping area is small.

Published camping rates for 2026
These are the operator's explicitly labelled 2026 camping tariffs, checked on 12 November 2026:

• Caravan/motorhome with electricity: 120 RON/night.
  
• Caravan/motorhome without electricity: 100 RON/night.
  
• Tent for 1–2 people: 80 RON/night.
  
• Tent for 3–4 people: 90 RON/night.
  
• Tent for 5–6 people: 100 RON/night.
  

Breakfast is not included. The published caravan/motorhome rows do not spell out an occupancy allowance; confirm the total for your party and any additional charges. Do not assume these 2026 prices apply to a later season.

Practical notes for visitors from abroad

• Approach: contact the campsite with your vehicle's length, height and weight before tackling the final unpaved section. Ask for current road conditions and follow the operator's recommended approach, rather than an automatically suggested shortcut. Save the address and route before entering the valley.
  
• Connectivity: the operator's amenities page reports Orange mobile coverage and free Wi-Fi via satellite internet in the guesthouse areas. Coverage at your individual pitch and suitability for video calls are not independently verified.
  
• Electricity: the tariff distinguishes pitches with and without it, but the connection amperage and socket type need confirmation. Ask about drinking-water filling and separate grey-water/chemical-toilet disposal; those services are not established by the camping description reviewed.
  
• The guesthouse advertises accessibility arrangements, but these do not establish wheelchair access to the camping washrooms or pitches. Ask for details relevant to your needs.
  

Confirm opening dates, the number of people included in the vehicle rate, meal arrangements, payment and cancellation terms before booking. This is a rural stay: plan shopping and your arrival with the hosts rather than assuming an on-site shop or a late check-in.
