What do tourists need to know when they decide to have a rest as savages on Lake Baikal? Where to find good places for summer vacations? What prices are currently valid for independent travelers in some areas of the lake? Everything in order, let's figure it out and come to one answer, which can already be voiced - the rest of the savages on Lake Baikal is the cheapest! Well, let's start to understand and probably start with places where you can have a good rest and settle down so that no one bothers you.
How to get to Baikal?
Before you come to Baikal with tents and make a fire, you need to get to it, you can learn about all the ways and routes to Lake Baikal from a separate article completely devoted to the question of how to get to Baikal. I know that most tourists already know everything, but there are also people who come here for the first time and do not expect where to start, rest assured, this article will help you decide!
And of course, I forgot about the most important thing that is very closely intertwined with this article - a tent, a sleeping bag and a thermos. For those tourists who have not yet decided how to choose a tent, as well as how to choose a sleeping bag and a high-quality thermos for tea, be sure to read the detailed article on choosing the right tourist tent and its accessories.
Places for rest for savages on Lake Baikal, where you can relax in summer
There are a lot of such places, or rather, the entire M55 highway goes along the lake almost all the time, so you can go and choose places as you wish. For recreation, tourists most often choose the southern coast, which will be discussed in this article, just below I will give maps with locations of places that are more optimal for savages on Baikal.
As for places in the village of Listvyanka, all the places near the water right in the village without going far are paid, the prices for a vacation on the shore of Lake Baikal are about the same, 50 rubles for a location on the ground in a picnic zone and 100 rubles per hour will be taken from you spent in gazebo. These prices do not apply to long-term holidays, this option will be optimal if you come to Baikal to eat smoked omul for a few hours, sit in a gazebo with a friendly company or have a family picnic in a meadow. I already talked about the village of Listvyanka in my previous article, about how you can spend time here and what to do, you can read the article summer vacation on Lake Baikal.
If you decide to stay in the village of Listvyanka for the night, we go far along the coast beyond the village, there are wild places where you can very often meet people camping in tents as savages. The village of Listvyanka cannot be called an ideal place for a long vacation, expensive prices and crowded people will not let you relax. In the photo, if you decide to spend a couple of nights in a tent, I marked you wild beaches in red, we walk along the coast, about 3 kilometers from the Mayak hotel and you are there. You can climb to the observatory, you will have a picturesque view of the lake!
There you can also find the famous trail among avid tourists who like to go on a trip for several days. The trail goes from the village of Listvyanka to Bolshiye Koty, the distance is about 35 kilometers, along the entire length of the trail you can find places to rest in tents. Many tourists go on an excursion called the Circum-Baikal Railway (Circum-Baikal Railway), here you can ride not only by train and see all the beauties, but also spend the night in the wild places of this lake, I posted photos from the tour of the Circum-Baikal Railway in my separate article.
We pass to Baikal from the side of the Utulik village and the city of Baikalsk. If you go along the M55 highway, then after the village of Utulik, wild beaches begin, here you can turn off at any turn to Lake Baikal. Vacation spots for savages in the summer are not free for a long time, so be prepared.
I can especially recommend the places near the Chaika tourist base, there is a very good beach with small pebbles, the wind hardly blows from this side, and the proximity to the tourist center will give you the opportunity to sit in a cafe in the evening, dance, and ride catamarans in the afternoon. As you already understood, he highlighted in red places on the shore, ideal for a savage summer vacation in tents.
Going further, what other places for the savages to recommend you on the southern coast of Lake Baikal? Further along the M55 highway is the city of Baikalsk, there is one very secret place that I will reveal to you, very few tourists know about it, and independent travelers come here to rest almost every year. So this place is called Red Sands. Believe it or not, the coast of Lake Baikal in this place is really made of red sand, every year this sand becomes less and less, but still, many tourists come here to admire and relax here and nowhere else. Remember the map!
At the fork off the M55 highway, you will need to turn to the city of Baikalsk, then try to drive along the village towards the coast, there are many roads leading through the village to the coast, you will not get confused.
Now let's talk about what awaits you on the coast after the city of Baikalsk, nothing good, especially we pass the village of Vydrino, here the local population does not really like tourists in tents, beatings and robberies very often occur. But there is one place called "Warm lakes" about them, I already wrote an article called "summer vacation at Lake Baikal", the link to this article has already given at the top of this article. Here, the rest of the savages in the summer can exceed all your expectations, be sure to read more about the warm lakes on my website and look at the photos.
Rest for savages at the tourist center Peschanaya Bay
As for the rest by the savages at the Peschanaya Bukhta camp site, I am afraid to upset you, this is not a very cheap business, you will spend a lot of money on one road, it is most profitable to have a rest here on a voucher. Well, if you have already decided to purposefully relax here, then we stock up on food and warm clothes. Yes, there are wild places for tourists with tents, but you need to take into account that it is difficult to leave from here and it is expensive to get there.
I laid out all the useful information in my article on vacation in the Peschanaya Bay, there you will find a lot of useful information up to information on the schedule of motor ships.
Rest for savages on Olkhon island
Well, now the most important place for savages to rest on Baikal is a rest on Olkhon Island, here you can already talk about a real rest for savages on Baikal and prices, this is the only place suitable for this kind of rest!
As for the prices for rest on Lake Baikal, for example, compare the rest in the hotel "Baikalov Ostrog" and rest on your own on the shore of Baikal, the cost savings are obvious. Many tourists ask themselves what kind of vacation on Lake Baikal is cheaper? I think you already know the answer.
In addition, the prices in the shops of Olkhon Island are more than adequate, you do not have to take a lot of food with you, here you can go to a delicious meal near the coast at affordable prices in local cafes or buy food and cook it yourself over a fire, food prices are not high.
As for the places for savages to rest on Olkhon Island, I can only advise you to find a suitable place anywhere on the island. The whole island is suitable for independent recreation on Lake Baikal.
Many tourists prefer to relax on the shore closer to the village of Khuzhir, many pass this village to the wild beaches in cars further, behind the village it is very calm and quiet, no one will disturb you, checked it myself and for several years now I have been going to rest only on the island with a tent!
All camp sites in Khuzhir and prices for accommodation in summer →

And finally, I decided to share with you a video that I shot on the last day of my holiday on Olkhon Island, I and many other tourists came to see off the sunset on the shore of Lake Baikal, the spectacle is certainly amazing, I recommend it for viewing!
You will find places to rest on Olkhon without any problems, it is worth going to the coast after the ferry crossing to Olkhon and you will see for yourself where you are best located!
