Imagine... You wake up being sung by the birds, you unzip the tent and the sun smiles brightly at you. The view is beautiful and you can barely take a dip from the tent into the clear blue sea water. That's camping at campsites in Croatia! A true paradise with an azure blue sea, rugged coasts and picturesque villages and towns. The variety is great and almost everything exudes history.

Sun guarantee in Croatia

Sun Sea Beach! We want sun on holiday, it's that simple. Then you are in Croatia. The temperature on the coast rises nicely in the summer, but it does not get much warmer than thirty degrees: a gentle sea breeze provides welcome cooling. No wonder that the Croatian coast is well visited by beach lovers. The northern Istrian peninsula is very popular, but there are also paradisiacal beaches further south. The sea is clear and bright blue, the many pebble beaches are spacious and clean. The Croatian coastline of almost two thousand kilometers is rugged and rugged. The coastal road takes you past charming harbor towns where you can enjoy fantastic food. From marinated anchovies to fresh crustaceans and shellfish, squid salads and sea bass from the grill.

History

History is on the streets, in Croatia. Centuries-old towns and villages: you will find them on the coast and inland. You see Italian influences everywhere, due to centuries of domination by the Venetian empire. Even the street names are in Croatian and Italian on the signs. Beautiful old towns to stroll through are Rovinj, Porec, Split and Zadar. Dubrovnik is also special, whose meticulously restored city center is on the UNESCO list. In Pula you will find the amphitheater, where nowadays mainly concerts are held. In the past, under Emperor Augustus, 23,000 people watched executions and gladiators fighting lions at the same time. Split is another gem along the Croatian coast. In any case, visit the palace of Diocletanius, the Roman emperor, and be amazed by the details that have been preserved... .

Day trips to Zagreb from campsites in Croatia

The largest and capital of Croatia is Zagreb. Take a day trip to Zagreb from the campsites in Croatia. Various festivals are organized during the camping season. Enjoy delicious food and drinks during a culinary festival or take a journey through time in one of the festivals that focus on the rich history.

Sailing off the coast of Croatia

The Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea is ideally suited for enjoying a boat trip. Relax and float on the azure blue water and enjoy all the beauty that the area has to offer. You can easily moor in large and smaller charming harbors along the coast of Croatia and on the islands. There are numerous boulevards, restaurants and shops here. Definitely recommended during your camping holiday at one of the Croatian campsites.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a port city in the Dalmatia region and is surrounded by an almost two kilometer long city wall with bastions. The city has been placed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO. See the famous Regent's Palace and the many well-known churches and monasteries. Stroll through the cozy Mediterranean streets and immerse yourself in the Croatian monument heritage. Want to camp near this impressive city? Which can! There are campsites just ten minutes by car from the city.

Plitvice lakes

A special natural phenomenon is the Plitvice Lakes National Park. Over the thousands of years, the flowing waters of the Korana River have created travertine dams. Travertine is a type of limestone. These dams have formed a number of lakes, caves and waterfalls. There are a total of 16 lakes with almost a hundred impressive waterfalls. Bears, wolves and many other rare plants and animals live in the forests surrounding the park. Since 1979, the National Park has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visit the Plitvice Lakes from the campsites in Croatia and be amazed.

Practical information

Pearl in the Adriatic Sea - Relaxing on Rab

Enjoy the Mediterranean sun, hidden bays, fantastic gastronomy or just stroll around the narrow streets of a two-thousand-year-old town... This is possible on the Croatian island of Rab, one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic Sea. When you visit the island of Rab, canoeing is highly recommended. Imagine calmly lowering your paddle into the crystal clear waters of the Adriatico. You canoe around the town of Rab, which is located on an elongated peninsula. Let the four medieval towers slowly absorb you. They are less than 360 meters apart and give the town its own unique look. That of Saint Mary is the highest, at 26 meters. Then comes the oldest bell tower: Saint Andrew, from the eleventh century. The tower is part of the monastery of the same name, which houses six nuns, two of them under thirty years of age. Their faith forbids them to step outside the monastery walls. The third bell tower is that of Saint Justina, with its unusually shaped roof, and finally, the tower of Saint John, close to the old city wall, from where you can perfectly photograph the four bell towers. The rock bottom slides under your canoe, and in the sunlight you see small fish flash by in fright.

Moonscape on Rab

In town, your pastry chef visits Vilma. Her specialty on the menu is 'Rabska Torta': pastry made from almonds, sugar, orange and lemon peel, marasquino (cherry) liqueur and some secret ingredients. An eight-hundred-year-old recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. It results in a tasty, very sweet curl. It takes some effort to get to the highest point on Rab: the Kamenjak, at 408 meters, the most beautiful viewpoint on the island. The north side is a kind of moonscape. Here the Bora has free rein: the merciless wind blows the mountainside bare and nothing grows due to the salt blown up from the sea. When you turn around, the green side of Rab unfolds. You have a view of the town, the bays around it and the Dolin Island, which is only inhabited by sheep. And in the distance Kalifront, the darkly wooded peninsula to which Rab owes its Roman name: Felix Arba, which means happy, dark and green...

Endless beach

A completely different side of the island of Rab is the very touristy town of Lopar, with an extensive sandy beach. Quite rare in Croatia, because most beaches consist of rocks and pebbles. Also special here are the bays a little further away, which are accessible via unpaved walking and cycling paths, such as the Sahara Bay. In the evening you can enjoy an absolutely delicious meal in the best restaurant in Rab: Labirint, run by young guests who - if you explain that you mainly want to photograph local specialties - serve one delicacy after another. Marinated anchovies, squid salad, shrimp risotto, squid ink 'blackened' risotto, scallops, grilled sea bass and of course Rabska Torta for dessert. Life is good, on Rab!
