Camping in Croatia
The categorization of camps in Croatia
Croatian camps are categorized with from 1 to 4 star ratings. The standards are similar to those in the rest of Europe.
A new Ordinance on Categorization has been created with the aim of upgrading the standard of camps, according to which camps will be rated with from 2 to 5 stars. The implementation of the new Ordinance will lead to an entire wave of new investments, which will still further improve standards at Croatian camps. Last year, for example, the accommodation capacity in 4* camps grew by 230%, in 3* camps by 1% and in 2* camps by 6%, while capacity in 1* camps dropped by 22%.
The current structure of Croatian camps is as follows:
4**** 9%
3*** 42%
2** 27%
1* 22%
That it pays to invest in the camping offer is testified to by the numerous recognitions received by our camps.
In the latest issue of the highest-circulation German and global camping guide (over a million users), the ADAC CAMPING CARAVANING FUEHRER 2007, Croatia has 7 yellow plaques, which designate exceptional results in the previous year, received by these camps:
Kanegra nudist camp, Umag
Stella Maris camp, Umag
Finida camp, Umag
Park Umag camp, Umag
Poljana camp, Mali Lošinj
Zaton camp, Zaton
Nevio camp, Orebić
While the Zaton camp was awarded a red plaque, i.e. the "Super Platz" designation, the highest recognition awarded to camps by ADAC based on its criteria. There are only 71 camps bearing this recognition in all of Europe.
The Dutch Kampeer & Caravan Kampionen monthly magazine and a Camping Guide, both published by the Dutch automobile club ANWB (Algemene Nederlandse Wielrijders Bond), proclaimed the Park Umag camp to be the camp of the year in 2007, ranking it among the top 5 camping destination in Europe in the coming year!
