We are thinking about going to Croatia this year as we hear it's nice there,and we were wondering if anyone had any info on campsites. Or any info that might be of use to people travelling there for the first time.
Thank you
Sylke
there are some campsite details there, and the national tourist board are very helpful.

We went to Croatia ( and Slovenia en route) in 2007 and I wrote a blog about it - press BLOG button below!
Camping Skoja near Pula is great. Go right to the end of the site and you can camp fairly informally on the edge of the sea rather that in more organised lines as in the rest of the site.
We loved Slovenia but did not find Croatia quite so friendly and so did not stay so long. We were not impressed with Porec - big, noisy,holiday-campy
and full of mosquitoes.
Yes, Similar here, G. We only went there for the trip to Venice.
What did you think of Pula - we thought it was a "real" working town - yes, it has the ampitheatre & the other roman ruins, but everybody got on with their lives - not a complete touristy place, if you see what I mean

Hi Sylke,
This site will HERE will give you some excellent info for touring Croatia, it is by far the best I've come across for a long time.

We liked Pula very much. The ruins were well explained with very good information boards but they were not over-restored. We enjoyed the bus ride in from the campsite which takes you to the less seen parts of town. One disappointment was that we couldn't find any smoke-free place to eat so finished up having lunch in Mcdonald's ! This was quite interesting however as it was full of school children and they were keen to speak to English people- no tourists there.
Beware of the loose trains in Pula. Even though we'd been warned ( could it have been via your blog ?) it was still a bit of a shock to find one coming straight at us in the centre of the road !
Pula is a ship building town and you can hear the steam hammers all over town. It was fascinating to see them building such mammoth ships so close to the town.
Went to Croatia last summer and stayed at Medveja near Rijeks on a large campsite next to the beach - fantastic place and the snorkelling was excellent. Wasnt as cheap as we'd expected and the campsite was full of Hungarians who didnt crack a smile - apart from that I would fully recommend it.
If you are driving down through the Alps make sure you dont do it on a Saturday in August or July. We did the Tauern Autobahn in Austria and queued for 7 hours - coming back on the Brenner Pass (again on a Saturday) was just as bad. Took a while but we've now learnt our lesson. Opera in Verona is a must on the way home !
Thank you all for your replies,it's given us a lot to look into. Not too sure about the mozzies though Grizzly as they have me for breakfast, dinner & tea. Are they an all year problem do you think?

The certainly did not trouble us in June! Great site Don.
