HISTORY OF CAMPING
Although the beginnings of camping go back as far as the 19th century, this way of spending holidays was particularly popularised in the course of the 20th century, while, today, a different and a more modern style of camping and stays in nature has been created. Initially scarce and arranged in a minimalistic fashion, with a more modest offer, campsites attracted by natural oases and intact wilderness. A perfect paradise for all those adventurists pining for nature! Up to now, many things have changed in the world of camping. Following the guests’ challenges and needs, the campsite offer is at an envious level – mobile homes, glamping tents, swimming pools, water parks, animation and wellness centres. As from the year 2016, Croatia has been a proud host to the first 5-star campsite. The tradition of camping in Croatia itself has lasted over 40 years and, during that period, following all the challenges, it has developed into a recognisable camping destination.
A CAMPSITE FOR EVERYONE
In Croatia, you can find a campsite to suit everyone. The choice is ample – from small family campsites, ideal for stays with children, to large camping resorts with a multitude of facilities.
