Most of the sites operate between May and to October, but quite a number of them offer camping all year long and these establishments offer heated bathrooms and showers along with living areas, etc. The grounds come in a variety of sizes and some of them are located in the yards and gardens of private owners. There are also several popular nudist camps in Croatia. In fact, it’s one of the most popular areas in Europe for nudists.
Most of the bigger grounds are located on the Adriatic seashore in picturesque natural surroundings. The beaches are also very diverse as you will find them to be sandy, pebbly, or flat stoned. The campgrounds are categorized with ratings from one to four stars.
Because there are so many well-maintained official campgrounds and national parks and reserves etc. in Croatia, wild camping isn’t allowed in the country.  Wild camping is classified as any type of camping that takes place outside of the country’s designated campgrounds. However, Croatia has provided travellers with rest area camps that are basically accommodation areas and facilities that are situated along public roads and highways where travellers can stay overnight or just for a few hours of rest.
