Even Corona cannot stop the wave of success: Croatia continues to rank among the top 3 travel destinations for German camping holidaymakers. But why is the Mediterranean country so popular with us? You have to know that tourism is the most important economic factor in Croatia.
Accordingly, the camping infrastructure is constantly being developed and expanded through state support and financial EU aid. Guests notice this at ultra-modern campsites. There are a total of 500 facilities across the country, ranging from family-run mini-camps to five-star holiday resorts. Added to this is the varied nature, the hospitable locals and the many hours of sunshine on the Adriatic. (10 tips for camping holidays)
