Unexpectedly, I drew a half day free time to go somewhere. Yes, and not me alone, but also my friend, with whom we have been together for several years now did not go. We still remember our tour of Russia with him as one of the best trips in life. So, if you get out, then definitely with a tent, as this type of recreation and travel I always have first place. It was decided to go to the Oka Simferopol highway.

Rest on the Oka
Post rather informational (similar to the article about the rest on Black Sea with a tent), because we rode all day and watched where you can stand with a tent, but I can not help but hold Do not write about the rest of the Oka. Guys, this is trash! After thailand Krasnodar region, Seliger, is so sad that I even got upset. Probably, nature lovers need not go for 100 km from Moscow, and already for 200-300, otherwise you will also be upset as and I. Well, or go not to such popular places as Oka, or even not at all to the pond. Alternatively, look for places where the car does not drive up, but this is already then going to the Oku campaign will have to go, if not by car. And so the sunset, of course, beautiful, yes, regardless from what-
Camping on the Oka
The first is garbage. I never understand why to shit wherever you rest yourself. Actually, there is enough trash, and it’s on parking lots. Bottles, bags, bulls and more. There are places dirtier, there is a cleaner, so you have to go and look. As an option, remove garbage and burn it (and we did), but if it is a bit of it. Otherwise, the rest will turn into a garbage collector / incinerator. event. Also in some places there is waste. I do not understand what is difficult to move away where no one walks? Or if scary go far, then you can not take a shovel and prikopat?
The second is a dirty river. After the seas and oceans, I don’t know how in this can swim. The water is turbid, strong smell of mud, algae, bottom partly with sand, stones, silt and tires. People of course bathing, many come with children all summer and do not see anything in This is negative, but I couldn’t make myself bathe there. Perhaps the reason for the smell and dirt is that the heat was already a few weeks, and the Oka River became shallow.
It would be interesting to hear comments from those who are there. often, where does such a strong smell come from? And as it was 10 years ago, better or also? It seems to me that overall, the Oka is not the best choice for bathing because Rospotrebnadzor prohibits it from time to time swimming, then in the Serpukhov district, then in Kaluga, because of infections.
Tent sites on the Oka
Okay, go through the tent sites, but ideally it’s better to put in the time for searching at least for the first trip in order to ride along the banks and search where you like more. I remind you what of the nearest attractions (well, if you get tired of sitting in tent), there is a manor Pushchino, and Prioksko-terraced reserve
Naturally, tenting is much more, in post only that what we drove around in a day. Alternatively, you can go somewhere to Oka and continue to go all the time only along it, because in many places along the river there is a good primer. But every time we left back to the track. Do not forget about the satellite map, on it much easier to navigate than usual.
Left Coast
In my opinion, the left bank is dirtier and more crowded. we drove several places and did not want to stay anywhere. And the beach bad besides, more sludge than sand, and sometimes sand in general not.
Near Karpovaya Polyana. There is no access to the river, but the clearing is deep in the forest, on the shore pond stinkers (you can not swim!), quietly and calmly. On the usual the car is difficult to reach, sand and pits. We did not get, got closer to asphalt, it was late, it was necessary to spend the night somewhere. Turn on the primer immediately after Karpova Polyana, there is still next to the curb Gate to nowhere.
The road with sand, you can get bogged down
Parking near the pond
Pryluky village. The end of the road, although on the map it continues on. In the village you need to turn right around trash cans, after 50 meters inside the village once again to the right, and later another 50 meters to the left to the river, through the gate. Between the village and the river you will see various dirt roads, you can drive along them shore and look for a place. Mostly people are all exactly the opposite Priluk stop. Dirty and crowded.
The beach in Priluki looks good only from afar
About Nikiforovo. Turn on the pointer to the village and go straight nowhere without turning right up to the river, even when the asphalt road turns to Zibrovo, that is, in this place We move on the primer. Once near the river, we drive to the right or left on the dirt road and look for a place. Not photographed, because We only saw one parking lot, and it is without a normal shore, solid grass.
Near the spring. This is another road leading on Meadows and the Republic. Turn to the source marked on the road pointer. But you need not go straight to him (there are 50 meters from road), and turn right almost immediately to the road with plates. Nearer to the river you will see concrete fences, you need to go further and look for a place. There is so-so, dirty and bad shore, although fishing here are coming. We just collected water in the spring.
Beach more for fishing than for swimming
Between Luzhki and the Republic. We drive through the Meadows, where people also bathe a lot, despite the steep congresses. AND after Luzhkov there are a number of primers that lead to the river. We reach the Oka and along the coast there is a dirt road, driving along it, looking for a place. That parking lot what we saw with a decent amount of trash. Possibly neighboring it is better.
A lot of trash, but people are
Stand with a tent on the Oka
Right bank
The right bank looks more attractive (although it may the left is just not lucky). We immediately looked across from Priluk through the river has several tents, and so we immediately went to this place.
Pushchino. As an option to swim right in the city, there where is the estate Pushchino and ecological path. Also there is font with water from the spring, where you can then wash off all the dirt Oki. Also here you can and stumble with a tent, but we must understand that it is very near the city.
Beach in Pushchino
There are places with fewer people.
Near Krasino-Uberezhnoye. Ride better with the M4, much closer and the road is better we were driving from the side of Pushchino and spent a couple of hours on this, I do not advise. A lot of turns, so easier azimuth / navigator. First with the M4 turn on Taraskovo, go to Grigorievsky, turn to greenhouses (huge greenhouses stand all the field is occupied), past them and to the shore of the Oka. Along the Oka good primer, and from her folds to the parking. In my opinion, here the best places, and relatively clean, and quiet, and the shore nothing.
Nice place with a nice beach, but almost always occupied
Descent to the Oka and the beach
Location Map
Points on the map are noted according to the list above. Everything photos taken just at these very points.
P.S. My task was to be in the fresh air and spend the night in a tent (that is, initially without bathing), for these Oka goals in principle fit.
