Does anyone know of a campground or tent camping area in or near Arad? I'm an experienced U.S. desert and mountain backpacker; very comfortable with physical hardship. I'll carry a 50 pound backpack with stove and single-person backpacking tent, or will sleep under the stars. Two questions: 1) Where can I camp safely near Arad? 2) How can I get from camping area to Arad? (Do buses run close by? I will not have a car). Hope someone can give me some advice. Thank you.
