Plitvice Holiday Resort
Plitvice Holiday Resort is a charming campsite situated just a short distance from Croatia's Plitvice Lakes National Park, one of the most spectacular natural wonders. This campsite offers an array of opportunities for relaxation and exploration within the stunning Croatian landscape. There are 99 pitches for touring and are of average size and are on grass or hard ground, with many slightly sloping (levelling blocks useful). Some have partial or full shade, and all have 16A electricity. One of this resort's standout features is its diverse accommodation options. Whether you're an avid camper, an adventure seeker interested in modern treehouse stays, or someone looking for comfort in mobile homes or cosy lake houses, Plitvice Holiday Resort has the perfect accommodation to suit your needs and preferences.
Camp Zagreb
Lying west of the capital of Zagreb, one of Central Europe's oldest cities, this is a useful location for those who want a short stopover or a longer stay to explore this attractive region. The campsite is located in the village of Rakitje beside a lake fringed with inviting trails. The pitches here are laid out in a circular arrangement, linked by pathways.
Motel Plitvice-Autokamp
This is very much a transit site or possibly one for a brief visit to the Croatian capital. This used to be the only campsite close to Zagreb and only basic facilities are available. Access is from one side of the A3 motorway via the Plivice Motel, which is right next to the motorway. There is constant road noise, but the site is far enough from the road to reduce this to acceptable levels. The 150 grass touring pitches are of average size and two-thirds have 16A electricity connections. The sanitary building is fairly old but acceptable. Despite its name, this site has nothing to do with the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is roughly 150 km. south from here.
Camping Korana
This is the perfect site for a visit to the Plitvice Lakes National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site of over 300 sq. km), just 6 km away and deservedly one of Croatia’s most famous attractions with its waterfalls, lush vegetation and lakes. This 34-hectare site has a large, park-like environment and 550 unmarked pitches amid a naturally wooded landscape, which offers plenty of activities for lovers of the great outdoors. Don’t let the size of the site put you off, as it is thoughtfully separated into areas divided by trees and an undulating landscape.
Campsite Duboka
Campsite Duboka is located on the edge of the Nature Park Papuk, in Velika. It is the first modern-style campsite in the eastern part of Croatia, located in the natural oasis of the Dubočanka Creek valley. The site can accommodate up to 200 campers. However, only 11 touring pitches are available with access to electricity and water. One part of the campsite is also set up to accommodate tent guests. You will also find a small communal kitchen that guests can use to cook and prepare food. Particular attention is paid to environmental conservation, alternative energy sources, wastewater treatment and waste management, while the campsite mainly uses natural materials.
Camp Vugec Plac
Camp Vugec Plac is located at the edge of the medieval town of Samobor, just 15km from the capital, Zagreb. This small site is a hidden gem with only ten touring pitches available, all with electric hook-up points. You will indeed have a quiet, relaxing stay when camping here. You have all the basic necessities to enjoy your holiday, along with a small outdoor swimming pool and a covered outdoor terrace where you can purchase cold refreshments.

Central

Lying between the Sava, Drava and Mura rivers, Central Croatia is a region of oak and beech forests, rolling hills and sloping vineyards. Its thermal springs have given rise to a number of resorts where the pursuit of peace and tranquility is paramount.

At the heart of the region lies Zagreb, the country's capital and a vibrant city of around a million people. It has a charming medieval old city, with architecture and cobbled streets reminiscent of better-known Central-European capitals, albeit mixed with a strong Italian influence. There is an enthusiasm for the arts - the city is host to frequent exhibitions, summer festivals and live music performances, and the Museum of Contemporary Arts is the largest in the country.

One of Central Croatia's biggest appeals is its contrasting landscape of farmland, wetland and hills. Southwest of Zagreb are the Plitvice Lakes, a beautiful series of 16 lakes that interconnect via rushing cataracts and waterfalls, enclosed by forested hills. The area is home to a multitude of wildlife from fish and herons to bears and deer.
