Free camping in Israel refers to finding a nice campsite near hiking trails, forests, nature reserves, or other landmarks where you can set up camp for free. It’s the ancient and smart way to travel, allowing you to experience the beauty of nature without the constraints of traditional campgrounds. While not all free camping sites offer camping facilities like running water or shade, many do provide these amenities. You can use our icon facilities bar to choose a campsite that matches your camping standards. Green icons indicate resources available on-site, while red icons indicate resources not available at the site.

The Best Weather for Camping in Israel:
When planning your freecamping adventure in Israel, it’s essential to consider the weather conditions. Generally, the south is best explored during winter when temperatures are milder, while the north is ideal for summer camping. For each campsite listed, you’ll find a weather bar indicating the recommended seasons. For instance, if you come across a campsite in the south, you’ll learn that it’s advisable to avoid camping there during the scorching summer heat but consider it during the winter, depending on nighttime temperatures. Remember to always check the weather conditions before embarking on your camping trip.

Explore Diverse Landscapes:
Israel offers a range of landscapes for freecampers to discover, from the captivating deserts of the south to the breathtaking mountains of the north. Picture yourself camping under a starlit sky in the Negev Desert or waking up to panoramic views of the Golan Heights. With ifreecamp, we have handpicked some of the best free camping sites in Israel, ensuring you have memorable experiences in nature. Let’s take a look at one example:

Example- Masada Camping East:
Located near the iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site of Masada, Masada Camping East offers a picturesque setting for freecampers. Nestled in the heart of the Judean Desert, this campsite provides stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. Pitch your tent against the backdrop of rugged mountains and vast expanses of desert.

Facilities at Masada Camping East are minimal, but you can enjoy the basic necessities. The campsite has no running water, but you can refill your water containers in the Masada site, 1KM away. However, there is no shade available on-site, so it’s advisable to bring your own shade structures or plan your activities accordingly. Our best advice is to combine your camping experience with a visit to the ancient fortress. Witness the breathtaking sunrise or sunset from the top of Masada and explore the fascinating history of the site.
