I wish to go on a camping holiday in Croatia. Do I have to stay at a registered campsite?
Camping outside registered campsites in Croatia is punishable and not allowed. Croatia has many different styles of campsites, as well as in camper van/caravan rest areas, which can be found at the entrance to the campsite itself.
I need an overnight stay on my way to the desired destination. What is the alternative to staying at a campsite?
If you are looking for one night accommodation, in Croatia you will find numerous
caravan rest areas. Apart from the pitches for camper vans/caravans, rest areas also dispose with sanitary points and areas for disposal of portable chemical toilets. They offer the comfort of a one night stay at reasonable prices.
Is it necessary to book accommodation at the campsite I wish to stay in?
You can also stay at a campsite without a previous reservation, but we would certainly recommend that you book your accommodation beforehand at the desired campsite. In order to avoid unpleasant situations upon arrival at the campsite, book your pitch, mobile home or glamping tent at AdriaCamps website and ensure a carefree holiday.
Are there house rules at the campsite?
Of course. Each campsite has its own house rules and code of conduct during the stay.
Which accommodation units at the campsite can I choose for my holiday?
If you wish to stay in your own tent, camper van or caravan, the campsite pitches are ideal for you. The pitches are of varied equipment and infrastructure and you can book them according to different categories. You like staying in nature but do not have own caravan – our recommendation is staying in mobile homes or glamping tents – accommodation units fitted with modern equipment, which are increasingly represented at campsites throughout Croatia.

Depending on the campsite and the category it belongs to, campsites offer different facilities to their guests. The basic facilities of all campsites are equipped sanitary points, arranged beaches, restaurants and sports facilities.

Animation teams organise sports, entertainment and creative workshops for children and adults between the months of June and September, although, at some campsites, animation activities are available for the whole duration of the campsite opening period.
Are campsites far from the beaches?
The campsites which are situated on the coast are mostly located right by the sea. At the campsites, you will find arranged beaches: paved, rocky, pebble or sandy.
Do campsites have Internet connections?
Although campsites guarantee escape from everyday life, you will not have to flee from one little thing. Today, the majority of campsites ensure Internet connection to their guests. Some campsites are entirely covered with Wi-Fi Internet, others have Wi-Fi only in certain locations within the campsite (certain pitches or mobile homes), while some others ensure Internet connection at reception or have so-called Internet corners within the campsite. Internet connection at campsites may also be at extra charge, although the majority of campsites tend to provide their guests with Wi-Fi free of charge.
