The best choice depends on who you travel with. Families with children do well at a site with a pool, entertainment and a safe play area; those seeking quiet should pick a smaller site or a spot away from the crowds. With a dog, it pays to check the pet policy first.

Which amenities should you check?

The comfort of your holiday in Istrië stands or falls with the amenities. Check the sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a small shop; travelling with children, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment weigh heavily. It's all on each campsite's detail page.

Also note the pitch type. A comfort pitch with private sanitary facilities and a water connection costs more but adds convenience; a simple nature pitch is cheaper and quieter. Travelling by motorhome, check for a service point and sufficient electricity (amperage).
