Camping Amarin
Situated 4 km. from the centre of the lovely old port town of Rovinj, this site has much to offer. The complex is part of the Maistra group. It has 12.6 hectares of land and is adjacent to the Amarin bungalow complex.
Aminess Maravea
Previously known as Camping Mareda, Aminess Maravea is in a quiet coastal location 4 km. North of the small picturesque town of Novigrad. Backed by oak woods and acres of vineyards, the site slopes down to a half bay and has 600 touring pitches, all with 16A electricity, either set on shallow terraces or slightly sloping gravel/grass. Mature trees provide shade, and many pitches have views over the sea; 95 pitches are fully serviced. The site has an attractive, rocky sea frontage with sunbathing areas, a good-sized swimming pool, a restaurant bar, and a café, all with sea views.
Camping Bijela Uvala
Bijela Uvala is a large friendly campsite with an attractive waterside location and an extensive range of facilities. The direct sea access makes the site very popular in the high season. The 2,300 pitches, 1,500 for touring, are compact and due to the terrain some have excellent sea views and breezes, however as usual these are the most sought after, so book early. They range from 60-120 sq.m. and all have electricity and water connections.
Camping Valkanela
Camping Valkanela is located in a beautiful green bay, right on the Adriatic Sea, between the villages of Vrsar and Funtana. It offers 1,771 touring pitches, all with 10A electricity. Pitches near the beach are numbered, have shade from mature trees and are slightly sloping towards the sea. Those towards the back of the site are on open fields without much shade and are not marked or numbered. Unfortunately, the number of pitches has increased dramatically over the years, many are occupied by seasonal campers and statics of every description and these parts of the site are not very attractive.
Camping Sirena
Access to this site is very easy and Sat Nav can be relied upon. Once you arrive at the gate you will be greeted by a very friendly efficient team, they will escort you to a place to park and then take you back to reception to check-in. Reception is modern, air-conditioned and very efficient.
Camping Park Umag
This extensive site is very well planned in that just 60% of the 127 hectares is used for the pitches, resulting in lots of open space around the pitch area. It is the largest of the Istraturist group of sites. Of the 2,000 plus pitches, 1,700 are for touring units, all with 10A electricity. Some pitches have shade. There are also around 750 mobile homes, some of which are available to rent.
Camping Mon Perin
Camping Mon Perin is located midway between Pula and Rovinj and has direct access to the sea. There are over 700 pitches, many close to the sea, including 500 for touring, well shaded and of a good size (100-120 sq.m), most with 16A electrical connections. Sixty mobile homes and chalets are available for rent. The beach here is long and pebbly with a degree of natural shade. At Colone, a restaurant with a terrace serves delicious pizzas and other dishes prepared over a wood-fired grill. A great site, popular with families with young children and equally suitable for those seeking a relaxing beachside holiday.
Camping Savudrija
This pleasant, quiet site is set under tall pines and has direct access to the sea over fairly level rocks. It is of medium size (17 hectares) and is set amongst a forest of fully mature pine trees around two sides of a coastal bay. There are 453 pitches of which 87 are occupied on a long stay basis. Pitches are numbered and are 50-120 sq.m, all with access to electricity (10A). This is a site for those who prefer cooler situations as the dense pines provide abundant shade. Those who like the peaceful life will enjoy it here with sea bathing on the doorstep and sunbathing areas on the rocks the whole length of the site.
Naturist Centre Ulika
This naturist site is well located, occupying a small peninsula of some 15 hectares. This means that there is only a short walk to the sea from anywhere on the site. The ground is mostly gently sloping with a covering of rough grass and there are 1,041 pitches with 6A electricity connections, 420 also have water and drainage. One side of the site is shaded with mature trees, while the other side is less shady.
Autokamp Zelena Laguna
Camping Zelena Laguna is situated just outside the popular resort of Poreč (just 15 minutes on the convenient tourist train). On the Istrian coast, this is a well run and long established site with 540 touring pitches, all with 10A electricity, 42 being fully serviced. Access to the pitches is by hard surfaced roads with gravel side roads. There are many mature trees providing plenty of shade and hedges separate most pitches.
Camping Bi-Village
Camping Bi-Village is a large holiday village in an attractive location close to Pula's historic town and opposite the Brioni National Park islands. From the beach, superb sunsets can be observed as the sun sinks below the sea’s horizon. The site is landscaped with many flowers, shrubs and rock walls and offers over 1,000 pitches for touring units (the remainder taken by bungalows and chalets).
Camping Polari
This 60-hectare site has excellent facilities and includes an area of 12 hectares to the left of the main site designated for naturist campers. Most parts of the site have good shade cover provided by mature trees. There are 1,806 level pitches for touring units on grass/gravel, terraced in places; many have open views over the sea to the islands. All have access to 10A electricity. An impressive swimming pool complex is child friendly with large paddling areas. The ancient town of Rovinj is well worth a visit and is best reached via the 4.5 km. coastal cycle path or by bus from the campsite.
Camping Kanegra
Situated almost on the Slovenian border, this could be said to be the first and last campsite in Croatia. Part of the Istraturist group, the smart air-conditioned reception sets the tone for this very pleasant naturist site. It is located alongside the large Kanegra bungalow complex and campers are able to share its comprehensive facilities.
Camping Vestar
Camping Vestar is a quiet site just 5 km. from the historic harbour town of Rovinj and is one of the rare sites in Croatia with a partly sandy beach. Right behind the beach is a large area, attractively landscaped with young trees and shrubs, with grass for sunbathing. The site has 650 large pitches, of which 500 are for touring units, all with 6/10A electricity (the rest being taken by seasonal units and 60 pitches for tour operators). It is largely wooded with good shade and from the bottom row of pitches there are views of the sea. Pitching is on two separate fields, one for free camping, the other with numbered pitches.
Naturist Park Koversada Campsite
According to history, the first naturist on Koversada was the famous adventurer Casanova. Today, Koversada is a first-class enclosed naturist camping holiday park with 1700 pitches, all with access to 10A electricity. The site splits it's camping between the mainland, and it's own island, which is only suitable for tents and is reached by a narrow bridge.
Camping Porto Sole
Located near the pretty town of Vrsar and its charming marina, Porto Sole is a spacious and comfortable campsite with a long water frontage and two tiny bays that provide rocky swimming areas. The site has good facilities, including a large and attractive first floor swimming pool and sunbathing area above the shopping arcade, restaurant, pizzeria and pub. There are 558 grassy touring pitches, most in front of the reception area. They are reasonably level and fairly open with 10A electricity but have hardly any views of the sea. In a separate area, there are a few pitches for tourers set on terraces looking out over a small bay.
Arena Runke Campsite
Arena Runke is located on Croatia's southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula, close to the village of Premantura. The campsite covers just 4 hectares and is nestled amidst a pine forest. It has 248 touring pitches with electric hook-up points available. The terrain is slightly sloping and uneven, so keep that in mind when choosing your pitch.
Camping Finida Umag
Finida is a small, fairly quiet and friendly site with good sanitary facilities and with easy access from the Umag-Novigrad road. The sea runs the length of the site and offers places to swim, either from a concrete jetty or from a small beach. The site is heavily wooded affording abundant shade and from the terrace of the bar/restaurant there are views over the sea. There are 204 marked pitches (80-100 sq.m), all with 10A electricity, 103 also have water and TV connection. Finida will appeal to those who prefer the cosiness of a smaller, friendly site.
Camping Valdaliso
Camping Valdaliso has its affiliated hotel in the centre of the site. The 315 pitches are mostly flat with shade from pine trees and the site is divided into three sections, all with 16A electricity. The choice of formal numbered pitches, informal camping or proximity to the sea impacts on the prices. The kilometre plus of pebble beach has crystal clear water. The entertainment programme is extremely professional and there is a lot to do at Valdaliso, which is aimed primarily at families. The variety of activities here and the bonus of the use of the hotel make this a great choice for campers.
Arena Tašalera Campsite
Arena Tašalera Campsite is located in southern Istria, just above the seaside resort of Premantura. It is a 10-minute walk from the town centre. The campsite is situated on 9 hectares of pine forest directly on the Adriatic Sea, offering campers a simple holiday in a beautiful setting. The campsite offers 333 pitches, of which 100 are touring pitches with electric hook-up points available. There is a choice of pitches in the pine forest, giving plenty of shade, or pitches with direct sun and views of the Adriatic Sea.

Istria

A delightful peninsula bordered by Italy and Slovenia, Istria is the most popular destination for foreign visitors to Croatia. Umag and Porec continually top the annual poll of the country's best holiday resorts and some of the region’s finest campsites can be found all along this coast.

Scattered throughout Istria is an array of cultural and historic sites, from the Arena of Pula, a Roman amphitheatre turned concert venue, to the deserted medieval town of Dvigrad. The town of Rovinj with its cobbled streets and Venetian style houses captures the imagination, and an ascent of the clock tower rewards you with picturesque views. Inland Istria is dotted with hilltop villages that could be remnants from the past, the most famous of which is Motovun.

The peninsula's cuisine displays the numerous cultural influences that it has witnessed over its long history. Its main delicacy is the truffle, a tuber with an unappetising appearance that belies its exquisite taste. The local seafood is also worth trying, as is the olive oil which has been produced in the region since the Roman era.
