Croatia is known for its wonderful campsites, attractively located and well-equipped. It's hard to complain when you wake up under the pines and look out at the sparkling Mediterranean. Yet some camping grounds are true stand-outs for the quality of the services and the level of comfort on offer. The following award-winning campsites have been highly rated by the British Alan Rogers guides, the Dutch ANWB guides or the German ADAC guides. According to them, here are Croatia's 10 best campsites:
Campsite Park Umag
Holder of the most "best campsite" titles, this site covers 320 acres along the stony coast and holds up to 5100 people. You can rent a tent, caravan or mobile home to enjoy nearly any sport you could name including tennis, badminton, scuba diving, windsurfing, water-skiing and you can rent anything with wheels or that runs on petrol. There's a whirlwind of daytime and evening activities for kids, teenagers and adults with playgrounds, parks, swimming pools and dances.
Finida, Umag
Here is a much quieter experience on a site that covers only 8 acres and holding a maximum of 800 people. You can lounge on the pebbly beach or take a seaside walk to Umag. There are bicycles for rent and various games available to keep you amused but the pace is decidedly relaxed.
Stella Maris, Savudrija
This campsite is smallish, covering only 12 acres and sheltering up to 1725 people. In addition to the usual sports involving balls, wind or water, there's horseback riding, a place to practice your golf swing and a flying centre for light aircraft. Naturally there are swimming pools and a rocky beach. You can come by boat as there's mooring space.
