🌞 Family camping on the north coast of Croatia

Experience the best of both worlds: 5-star camping in a cozy mobile home – without any "shhh" moments in the morning or when the little ones are running wild. The mobile homes offer privacy and space, while you enjoy the amenities of large resorts: childcare, playgrounds, pools with slides, restaurants, and shops. Don't feel like dining in the evening? No problem – many places deliver food directly to your terrace. And best of all: Croatia is quick and easy to reach by car!

The Istrian peninsula in northern Croatia is a true holiday gem: Venetian-influenced harbor towns, dreamy bays, islands, and a green hinterland full of olive groves, mountain villages, and vineyards.

The ADAC Super Places 2025 for families
