Hod Akev Overnight Campground

Hod Akev Overnight Campground (located at the foot of the Hod Akev hill after which it is named) is one of the overnight campgrounds that if you didn’t know were there, you would pass right by them. It offers no facilities but a direct contact with the wonderful desert atmosphere. There are no water taps, toilets, showers or electricity here and it is accessible only by foot, bicycle or an off-road vehicle. The Hod Akev Overnight Campground is open throughout the year and is free of charge. By the way, this is an excellent starting point for trips in the area, especially Ein Akev. Early in the morning, if you feel up to it, climb up Hod Akev hill and enjoy a stunning desert view.
Arrival at Hod Akev Overnight Campground: located south-east of Midreshet Ben-Gurion (Ben-Gurion College), next to the Israel National Trail. Those arriving by an off-road vehicle must have the relevant trail map (number 15).
