Camping in Croatia is not only an economical way to cut costs, it is also the best way to enjoy the beautiful landscape along the Croatian coast.
Considered a true institution of tourism in the former Yugoslavia, Croatia’s campsites can be found in practically every tourist resort, from the best known to small towns snubbed by mass tourism. They are always located close to a beach or directly by the sea, immersed in a green pine forest that offers beneficial relief from the summer heat. They often boast a better location than hotels and flats, accommodation facilities that spread much later in Croatia.
This long tradition has led to a large number of campsites in Croatia, with offerings to suit all budgets, ranging from spartan green areas for tents and caravans offering limited facilities to luxury glamping with swimming pools, wellness centres and high-level services that are not afraid to compare with a five-star holiday village.
Apart from the spectacular location and the coolness provided by the shade of the pine trees, sleeping on a camp site has considerable advantages. One is certainly the financial savings because it is possible to cook on the campsite, thus saving having to eat every evening in a restaurant. Another is the security of an enclosed location, a detail much appreciated by families who can thus let their children go free. Some campsites cater specifically for young travellers and become a meeting place for those who want to socialise and have fun late into the night.
If you like the idea of a camping holiday but don’t want to take your tent and all your camping equipment with you, you can opt for a mobile home, a modern and cosier version of a bungalow.
Among the best campsites in Croatia, we have selected a few for those who prefer the mobile home solution: six different proposals in terms of price and services, but all exceptional in terms of location and quality of welcome.

The campsite has an outdoor swimming pool, tennis and table tennis courts and a children’s play area.
Campsites, like hotels, are also rated with stars, in this case however from one to four.
The best are therefore the 3-4 star campsites, but do not disdain campsites of a lower category: the lesser stars may be due to a lack of services (e.g. shops within the campsite) and not necessarily to poor cleanliness or an unattractive location.
An unofficial classification that can, however, help you choose the best campsite for the type of holiday you want to take is that by size.
Large campsites generally correspond to campsites that were once state-owned. They were the first to be opened and therefore took up the best positions.
Small campsites were opened in more recent years and generally cannot boast a seafront location, but they make up for this with warm family management and competitive prices.
