Horyzont (nr 265), Chłapowo – seaside camping on Poland’s Baltic coast near Władysławowo
Horyzont (nr 265) is a seaside camping base set right on Poland’s Baltic coast in Chłapowo (Pomeranian Voivodeship), close to Władysławowo. With the sound of waves nearby and a coastal landscape shaped by cliffs and wide beaches, it’s the kind of place that naturally suits both classic summer holidays and slower, off-season coastal breaks. The campsite is arranged to support different travel styles—families arriving with a full beach-day routine, couples chasing sunsets, caravanners who value orderly pitches and hookups, and vanlifers who want the sea within easy reach.
Location and surroundings
The campsite is located at ul. Żeromskiego 12, 84-120 Chłapowo, in the well-known holiday area between Władysławowo and Jastrzębia Góra. Its strongest geographical feature is simple and important: direct access to the Baltic Sea. The coastline here is also associated with a cliff setting, which gives parts of the area a more “edge-of-the-land” feel compared with flatter beach resorts. From the campsite, it’s easy to combine beach time with short local outings—either on foot, by bike, or by car—along this busy but scenic stretch of the coast.
For travelers who like to mix nature and sightseeing, the nearby area offers a blend of coastal viewpoints, small-town summer energy, and family-friendly attractions. The campsite highlights local points of interest such as the beach in Chłapowo, Wąwóz Chłapowski (Chłapowo Gorge), the harbor in Władysławowo, and the Rozewie lighthouse area. Day trips toward the Hel Peninsula are also a natural fit from this location, especially if you want to combine beaches with coastal towns and maritime-themed stops.
Camping and accommodation
Horyzont is organized around several types of stays, making it flexible whether you travel light or bring your full camping setup.
Caravan and motorhome pitches (parcels): The campsite offers numbered parcels for campers and caravans, described as being located along five “alleys”. These pitches are designed for structured, comfortable camping rather than improvised parking—helpful if you like to know where your space is and keep your setup tidy.
Tent options: There are numbered tent parcels (with a defined size range) for those who want a more organized tent stay. The campsite also mentions a non-separated tent area where you can set up a tent and park a car, which can appeal to travelers who prefer a simpler, more flexible style of pitching.
Cottages (Domki Morskie): For guests who want a roof and solid walls while still staying inside the camping atmosphere, the campsite offers Domki Morskie intended for 4–6 people, with a bathroom and kitchenette setup described for cottage stays.
This mix makes the campsite workable for multi-generational travel groups too—some in a caravan, some in a tent, some in a cottage—while still sharing the same seaside base.
Facilities and services
Sanitary and everyday essentials
The campsite provides sanitary facilities and an area for washing dishes.
Many of the camping parcels are described as having access to electricity, water, and sewage connections—a key detail for caravans and motorhomes planning longer stays or traveling with full onboard systems.
There is also a dedicated motorhome service station (for waste disposal and fresh water intake), described as a professional solution for camper servicing.
Food, shared spaces, and convenience
Guests have access to a bar area and the campsite mentions TV and Wi-Fi availability.
There is also a shared kitchen with a fridge, and a space described as a breakfast room, supporting travelers who like to keep meals simple and predictable on holiday days.
Laundry
A coin-operated washer and dryer are available on site—especially useful for families, longer trips, and anyone touring the coast for weeks rather than days.
Safety and organization
The campsite emphasizes a structured safety approach, including security/guarding, monitoring, and an access/pass system intended to limit entry by non-guests.
Guests can also use a deposit option at reception for storing valuables.
Family infrastructure
A playground is available, and the campsite also mentions a sports field for team games.
Activities and experiences
The natural rhythm here is coastal: beach mornings, salty air, long afternoons, and evenings shaped by light over the water. With direct beach access and a gentle, paved descent to the beach, getting down to the sand can be part of the daily routine rather than a planned expedition—particularly valuable for families with small children or anyone hauling beach gear.
Cycling: There is a noted cycle route toward Jastrzębia Góra, making bikes a practical way to explore nearby viewpoints and seaside neighborhoods.
On-site recreation: A sports field and playground create low-effort entertainment without needing to drive anywhere.
Seasonal program: The campsite references “Letnia Akademia Przygody z Horyzontem”—a set of sports-recreational activities and creative workshops offered as part of the stay.
For day trips, the area lends itself to short excursions: walking the coast, visiting the Władysławowo port, or planning a longer outing toward Hel and its well-known coastal attractions.
For families and pet owners
For families, the campsite is set up in a way that supports predictable, safe routines: organized sectors/parcels, a playground, a sports field, and the ease of a gentle descent to the beach. Add practical essentials like laundry, dishwashing areas, and Wi-Fi, and it becomes a functional base for longer family holidays—not just a one-night stop.
Pets are allowed under clear rules. Dogs can stay on a leash and under the owner’s control, and owners are responsible for cleanliness and safety. The campsite rules also require proof of a valid rabies vaccination for dogs.
Practical details
Camping day: generally 15:00 to 12:00 the next day.
Quiet hours: 22:00–06:00.
Driving on site: 5 km/h speed limit indicated in the rules.
Gate hours: entrance gate described as closed during the night (22:00–06:00).

In terms of “best fit,” Horyzont tends to suit travelers who want a coastal campsite with structured pitches and practical hookups, easy beach access, and the option to switch between tent, camper, and cottage styles within the same place.
Seaside camping with an organized base

It offers the classic seaside camping atmosphere—grounded in nature and salt air—while still feeling organized and well-equipped for families, caravanners, motorhome travelers, and anyone building a coastal route through northern Poland.
