Auto camp Matica

Situated in Podgorica, just a 10-minute drive from the city center, our family-owned auto camp boasts a picturesque setting with its own vineyard. It is a perfect getaway from the crowded city and roads, but still close enough to experience this side of Montenegro as well. The place breathes comfort, nature, fresh air and peace, as well as adventure.
Within a brief 10-minute stroll from the camp, you'll find yourself at the serene Matica river. We are open year-round, even during the winter months.
On-site activities include canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, horse riding, biking and wine tasting.

We are a couple in our 30s with two small boys. We are proudly in the business with our extended family for many years and we decided to share our passion with others. We are adventurous and enthusiastic about nature sports and nature preservation. Apart from our camp in the north, in this camp we like to welcome our friends and have fun with our employees as well. Our homemade wine and products that are to be presented in Matica camp are a treat for everyone.
Volunteers are highly appreciated in our organization and treated as true team members. We value hard work, dedication and attention to details, but we also have fun and enjoy the gift of nature that we are given.

My experience in Sarap could not have been better; we had an incredible time. Dimitri the machine and Tamara the boss are great people; they made us feel at home and included us as if we were one more in the family. Very grateful for what we shared with them, their family and friends. The workers Ale and Buena made the work more comfortable for us, and we really enjoyed the time we spent with them. I hope to see them again; Iโ€™ve made very good friends from Montenegro. Weโ€™ll miss them. See you next time.

Among the best volunteer experiences we've had in these years and with the best hosts. To the team that is part of ล arap, thank you very much for welcoming us, integrating us, and making us feel part from day one. We learned about the vineyard, the wine, and daily life of this beautiful place. We ate very well every day and, of course, we had a little beer ๐Ÿ˜‰. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything shared. We highly recommend it and hope to return someday ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’š

The location was beautiful, and the owners were very friendly. However, the working hours were completely misleading. Instead of 6 hours, I was forced to work full-time from 8 AM to 11 PM, stuck with pool duty and unable to explore the city more than once. What made it worse was another worker's unfair and bitter comments right before I left, showing zero gratitude for my hard workโ€”it deeply angered me. Great place for a quiet getaway, but I strongly advise against working here.

Volunteer work was fine, Dimitri was kind and provided me with food when I asked for it.
Tasks: very varied, from daily tasks like cleaning the pool and refilling it, to cutting grass, working with a hoe, cleaning bathrooms, the terrace and the storeroom.
Schedules: total freedom to work at the time you want, very good ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ
Side notes: you have to stay alert all day in case campers arrive; power outages are normal at all hours. (no cooking, internet, hot water)
If you like solitude it's ideal, since you can go days without seeing anyone, but it can also get a little boring

The experience I had during this volunteering was acceptable; the activities carried out in the area were easy to do; there were a couple of details with the host due to a lack of communication; the place is very beautiful and surrounded by nature.
