🏕️ Honest Review: Family Campout with Balkan Baptist Church – Novi Sad Serbia We just returned from a wonderful church family campout in the mountains — a peaceful and refreshing weekend full of great fellowship and time in nature. 🌳 Campground Overview This campground is easily accessible, and from what we understand, you’re generally allowed to: -Pitch a tent near any picnic table -Have a campfire in those areas as well It may vary slightly depending on who you ask, but that’s the typical experience. Always be respectful, and check if anything has changed locally. 🚶‍♂️ Trails & Tips The hiking trails nearby are stunning and frequently used by locals. Here’s a great route: -Park at the bottom of the mountain -Hike your way up to the park headquarters -From there, you can usually catch a bus back down This round trip typically takes 5–6 hours, depending on your pace. It’s a great way to enjoy the mountain without overexerting yourself on the return. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Great for Families We always bring our children, and we’ve never encountered anything dangerous — aside from nettles, which our kids definitely don’t enjoy! -Mosquitoes aren’t too bad, and -A lovely breeze at the top of the mountain keeps things cool and enjoyable. 💬 Notes for Foreigners If you’re visiting from abroad, keep in mind: -Upkeep (like mowing and trash collection) may not match what you’re used to — but remember, this is a free and peaceful country, and the people are kind. -On summer Saturdays, you may encounter officials collecting a small entry toll. -But if you visit on a Thursday or Friday, entrance is usually free. ♻️ A Small Request Unfortunately, we’ve noticed trash building up in the woods near the camping areas. That’s why next time, we hope to organize a cleanup effort through Balkan Baptist Church and our Light of Life NGO. If you visit, consider bringing a few extra trash bags and spending 15–30 minutes picking up litter. It’s a small act that blesses the country and honors the generous people of Serbia. 🙏 We’re thankful to the Lord for this beautiful country and the kindhearted people who allow us to gather, worship, and enjoy His creation. Let’s be a blessing in return.

A great spot to sit down, enjoy the sunset, and take in the view. There are plenty of benches and even a place for Christmas decorations and tables. Parking is available, and there are trash bins too. A really nice place I recommend it!

The national park of Национални парк „Фрушка гора" is non-commercial and very peaceful. It's a beautiful area and, as far as we know, free to visit. There are a few information points, and it offers scenic routes for driving and walking. There are also some old Ladas with the logo, which I found really nice. The roads are good for driving. All businesses in the area seem abandoned and vacant, so don't expect too much from them. Bring your own food and drinks and enjoy them at a picnic area. There are at most a few restaurants.

I mostly ride MTB at Fruška. There are a lot of hidden MTB trails around. The only problem is to get from Fruška from Novi Sad cause of poor road planning. Also despite prohibition people on motorcycles are riding Fruška and police do nothing about it. But overall it's a great place.

My absolutely favourite outdoor playground, for running, cycling, hiking, and camping! The best place around Novi Sad to go to after work for a reset! There are 17 Orthodox Monasteries on Fruska Gora. All beautiful with long history.

First time here and loving it. Fruška Gora National Park is only 13 km (8 miles) by car to reach one of the section of the park. It extends into eastern Croatia. Once an island, now a mountain. The mountain is about 80 km ( 50 miles) long, and probably 90 million years old. It's established since 1960. This mountain is also called a mirror of the geological past. This is due to the park having more than 160 animal species dating back 123 million years that were found on that surface. This area is home to over 50 protected plant species, 200 bird species and 17 monasteries as well as caves, waterfalls and lakes. The hiking trail is marked with hearts on the trees. So cute. I added the schedule of bus from center to Popovica. Also added bus schedule from Popovica to center.

Fruška Gora is a good place to relax, walk and run away from everyday reality. There are marked walking paths for us who are not going that often or don't have a guide. If you like history and culture, you can visit some of the many monasteries. If you like to enjoy food, there are nice places to eat local food.
