129 Pictures of the Building of Martin's Sakar Hills Campsite
​In 2007, as well as building a house in the village of Kolarovo, the Jeffes family created the Sakar Hills Campsite in the nearby village of Biser in the far southeast of Bulgaria​. Here, a pre-exising house was completely rebuilt, a toilet and shower block was added and the accompanying field laid out with pitches and electrical connections.
