Camping

The cheapest accommodation you can find in the rural areas of Estonia is camping in your own tent. Actually, it is totally free, since there are many places where you can put up your tent without anybody caring about it. You have to make sure, however, that you don't camp right next to someone's house (if there are people or houses around, you should always ask before camping, and usually people don't mind) or build too big of a fire. so basically - if there are no signs forbidding you to camp, feel free to do so, but if there is anyone to ask from - do that. The safest places are by the seaside (not on public beaches of course), since that area doesn't belong to anyone. There are also several official campsites, where you pay a small fee to put up your tent, and there are also facilities such as toilets and showers for an additional fee.

There is nothing better than sleeping in the open air, letting the waves sing you a lullaby and looking up at the stars above you. Truly refreshing and relaxing.

Farmhouses

Hiiumaa is rich in farmhouses that offer accommodation. There is no point in going to this great wild place and stay in a hotel. The farmhouses often offer additional services like riding trips, bike rent, hiking trips etc. The atmosmphare in these places is rather rustic. Almost all places have the neccessary, modern facilities (toilets, showers, kitchens). Usually there is also a sauna, which is an experience you don't want to miss.
