This large, attractive forested site is about 4km past the Postojna Cave complex, near the entrance to Pivka Cave. Some of the cosy, family-sized, stone-and-wood bungalows have kitchens. There’s a swimming pool, restaurant and activity options. Note: campervanners might wish to simply overnight at the parking stop by the cave complex (per 24 hours €18).
