Croatia on top

Southern countries, including Croatia, dominate among holiday, foreign destinations, as every year. The recently published figures by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism confirm its unflagging popularity.

Why do we choose this country? Friendly camping infrastructure, culture close to ours and safety are the main reasons why we choose vacation here. Of course, quite liberal pandemic regulations related to border crossing and transport are also important.

Another record year

Comparing two consecutive pandemic years (the period from 1 January to 30 September), the total number of tourists increased from 7.4 million to 12.6 million. However, when comparing the number of our countrymen in this period, the increase is also about 50% (663 thousand in 2020 to 985 thousand in 2021).

So many official statistics. It is difficult to assess to what extent the above numbers may be influenced by 'undeclared' stays. In July and August alone, there were 8.1 million tourists, of which 700,000 were tourists. they are Poles.

It is worth noting that this direction is attractive not only for caravanning enthusiasts. The network of air connections is constantly expanding, and from the season of 2022 we will reach Split and Rijeka from Krakow even by train . RegioJet launches trains with wagons equipped with seats and lying places, which in one afternoon and one night will allow us to be in the very center of Dalmatia and Kvarner.

Croatia in low season

More and more often, guests from Poland also choose stays outside the strict high season - in September and October the weather is conducive to discovering the pearls of Croatian tourist attractions. The prices are then much more favorable and there are no crowds.

In our base of camps you can also find places that are open all year round, or at least until spring. Among them:

Croatia can boast of a really great camping infrastructure and every year it surprises with new attractions.

Underwater Istria

A holiday in Croatia is a great adventure - ancient ruins, picturesque towns with hundreds of houses covered with characteristic red tiles, wonderful cuisine full of fresh herbs, cloudless skies... this is what tourists usually associate this extremely popular country with. However, insiders know that Croatia is also one of the best countries in Europe for fans of exploring life hidden in the depths of the sea. Yes, snorkeling, i.e. swimming with a mask and deep-sea diving, is a great way to spend your holiday in Croatia. The sea here is warm, the water is extremely transparent most of the year, and the currents are quite weak in many places, which makes it possible for almost anyone to practice water sports. Of course, many of us are afraid that we do not have the appropriate skills or equipment to explore the depths of the sea on our own. No worries! In almost every coastal town in Croatia, you can find professional diving schools that run courses - from beginners to the most advanced ones, and also organize numerous expeditions and trips with a guide who will show you the most interesting corners of the underwater world and will ensure the safety of the group. Where is the best place to go for underwater sightseeing in Croatia? Of course to magical and warm Istria!.

How to buy a good tent?

It would seem that everyone can handle such a question. However, to be honest, some people will buy an expensive tent just because it's branded, while some people will buy a cheap one because it's "just a tent" and there's no need to overpay. They may end up waking up ankle-deep in water one night because their tent gets wet or otherwise fails. A well-thought-out purchase will allow them to avoid this type of situation. Quality usually goes hand in hand with price, so we should not save on it. A decent tent will serve us for years , not one season. Buying a new tent every year for the lowest price is by no means economical.
