Koronelli Campsite (Beregovoye)

Koronelli Campsite is a car campsite at the holiday centre of the same name in the village of Beregovoye, part of the Feodosia urban district in Crimea. It sits on Koronelli Street on the eastern edge of Feodosia, a few hundred metres from the Golden Beach, and suits travellers touring Crimea by car, with a tent or in a camper van.

Origin of the name

Both the street and the holiday centre carry the name of a former owner of this land. Beregovoye used to be called Koronelli (locally Koronel or Koronelka) after Antonio Coronelli, who was granted the estate under Catherine II. The village was later renamed, but the old name lives on in the street and in local holiday centres, which is why a search for "Koronelli Feodosia" usually leads here.

Facilities

The campsite takes up part of the Koronelli holiday centre. Pitches are for cars, tents and camper vans, with 220 V electricity, water and sewage hook-ups included in the price. Campers can use an outdoor frame pool of about 50 square metres with sun loungers. The centre also has rooms for those who would rather not sleep in a tent; children of any age are welcome, and meals are available at extra cost.

Beregovoye lies on the steppe part of the coast with few trees, so summer days here are hot and exposed. The owners recommend bringing your own awning, canopy or gazebo to make shade next to the car or tent.

The beach

The main reason to stay in Beregovoye is the Golden Beach, which runs along Feodosia Bay from Feodosia towards Primorsky. The sea is roughly 500 to 1,000 metres from the campsite, depending on which stretch you head for. The beach is soft sand with a gentle entry into the water, which makes it convenient for families with children.

Getting there

Beregovoye adjoins Feodosia on the east, along the road to Kerch. City buses and minibuses run to the village from central Feodosia and the bus station, or you can take a taxi. By car, head towards Primorsky and Kerch, turn towards the sea in Beregovoye onto Koronelli Street; the holiday centre is at number 8.
