Croatia is known for its clear Adriatic coast, the Istrian peninsula and the Dalmatian islands; many campsites sit right by the sea with their own rocky coves.

When looking for a campsite by the sea in Dalmatia, it pays to look beyond the score alone: consider the exact location, peak-season crowds and which amenities matter for your party.

Amenities: what to look out for

In Dalmatia, compare mainly on amenities. Clean sanitary facilities with hot showers, Wi-Fi and food and groceries on site make the difference, and for families a pool, playground and entertainment count for extra. Each detail page shows exactly what a campsite offers.

Keep the pitch choice in mind: from a luxury comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities to a basic, cheaper nature pitch. Travelling by caravan or motorhome, check the amperage and whether there's a drain point.

In Dalmatia most campsites run from spring to autumn. July and August are peak season (busy, hot and most expensive), so reserve early for those months.

For peace and lower prices, May, June and September are ideal. The weather is often still pleasant, nature is at its best and you have more choice of pitches.
