The top-rated campsites in Croatia
Based on review scores, these are the highest-rated campsites in Croatia. The list below is sorted by rating; Camping Papafigo is at the top with 9.4/10. Each campsite links to its detail page.
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.
Whether a campsite suits you depends on what you're after. Croatia offers both large holiday parks and small, quiet sites in nature. Use the filters to refine by pitch type and amenities.
What characterises the campsites in Croatia?
Among the 15 campsites in Croatia, 11 are by the sea or close to the beach, 11 have a swimming pool, 12 are family-friendly and 9 welcome dogs. The average review score of the rated campsites is 8.8/10.
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.
Amenities: what to look out for
Amenities largely determine how much you enjoy your holiday. On each campsite's detail page in Croatia, check for a swimming pool, sanitary facilities and hot showers, Wi-Fi, a restaurant or snack bar and a shop or bread service. For families, a paddling pool, playground and entertainment are often decisive.
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).
Peak season or quiet in Croatia?
In Croatia most campsites run from spring to autumn. July and August are peak season (busy, hot and most expensive), so reserve early for those months.
Choose May, June or September and you'll enjoy lower rates, fewer crowds and often still-fine weather in Croatia.
