Remember to tackle the following questions when you scout for a location: * Is there space for 100-200 persons?* Can we acquire drinking water somewhere nearby?* Are there possibilities to dumpster dive or is food cheap?* How easy/difficult is it to reach the place?* How secluded is the place?* Can we just stay at the place or does it belong to somebody, do we need a permission?* Can we dig shit pits there?* Can YOU be there to help organizing in the beginning?* What else is important?

=== [[Free Camp in Vrhovine]] Should you like to arrive earlier or stay longer, добродошли (Croatiadobrodošli) ===- welcome, the Serbian Rainbow Family of Living Light welcomes you at the same place from 18 July till 21 August!
I have another suggestion or option for HG '18(European Hitchgathering and Serbian Rainbow Gathering happen at the same place and time, the place which we will share). In the middle of Croatia in Vrhovine Location Razana near Kosjerić, 150 km south of Zagrebvery close to national road 21Coordinates: 44.084912, there is an area called Free Camp19.917170https://goo. gl/maps/fsdFL2XL6w62 As a preparation, please join the name suggestsRainbow Serbia 2018 group! This contains good information to take note of, anyone can camp here for freeincluding a Word document. https://www. I've just been there and even found the location marked as a "campsite" on a map with facilities for touristsfacebook. Location can host easily 200 com/groups/188952168424606/ Gathering is 126 km south of us. Located near the roadmotorway Zagreb-Belgrade (A1 exit 4, which at times is a bit annoying Pyмa (noiseRuma). There is no water (there actually is, but the tap is closed), although I found water and electricity in the toilets 183 km west of the nearby railway station motorway Belgrade-Sofia (20/25 minutes on foot). The camp has a few electricity plugs, but also not working A1 exit Ћићевац (switched offĆićevac). Important, at the camp there WILL be other travellers (camping cars and such) staying there, that's no problem and even very nice. Dumpster diving will I guess not be great, the village has a shop at 20 minutes walking, but small and not very friendly staff, nearest bigger town is Otocac at 20 120 km, hitchability medium at best, I've also waited two hours once (but in summer it'be better due SSW of Belgrade Travelling to more tourists). I've heard that the place has also hosted bigger number of people. Owner is named Alex apparently, but he's rarely at the site, no way to contact. But permission is already there! Food prices are medium. About shit pits, well, there is ONE real toilet and gathering from far away: consider taking one real sink, but here again the running water is shut of for the moment three daily trains from Beograd Centar or from Resnik (who knows, the owner switches it on during high season?last at 19:35 / 19:53). Digging shitpits could be not too easy in that stone/rocky soil, but some solution could be found? Croatia, even Resnik is on the interior as this place is, could attract quite some of us, popular destination new A1 motorway and easy to reach. Can I be there from the beginning? For the moment, I guess so! I'd recommend some tools to cut higher vegetation, grasses, herbs, because most of the area actually is good to camp a busstop on, but quite rough. Bonfire is OK, there are some trees but not too many, so for tarps the area is not goodA1. There is no river, lake or ocean next to the placeFrom that busstop it's a 2. Nearest stream would be about 5-6 km east (imagine: 2 meter wide, half meter deep, clear water) or 20 km west (small river, Gacka, probably deep enough walk to swim, the region promotes it for fishing tourism)station. But I don't know if swimming The old motorway runs just behind Beograd Centar station and there is officially alloweda petrol station only 0.3 km from that station. At the camp there The ticket for 120 km is even some kind of just under 500 RSD (cold4.25 euro) shower, but also here water is switched off. Check photos!
