Aminess Atea Camping Resort:
Vacations for (almost) every taste on the island of Krk

This medium-sized campsite is suitable for families with children as well as single travelers and couples, for water sports enthusiasts and those seeking peace and quiet. The Aminess Atea Camping Resort is a place where (almost) everyone will feel at home – it is located in the north of the island of Krk on a 500-metre-long pebble and rocky beach. There is a separate dog beach for four-legged friends and an inflatable play area in the sea for the little ones. Those seeking peace and quiet can relax on the beach or with an outdoor massage.
The Aminess Atea Camping Resort offers spacious pitches on extensive terraced grounds with direct access to the sea . A wide range of offers and leisure facilities such as a bar, children’s pool, morning gymnastics and yoga for adults, games for children and more provide variety – if desired.

A family campsite in a fantastic location by the sea: the almost eleven-hectare, park-like site offers spacious pitches, some with fantastic sea views, for campers and luxuriously equipped vacation accommodation and comfortable mobile homes for travelers without their own camper. As befits a resort of this size, the range of leisure activities, wellness, services and entertainment is extensive and varied: swimming area with several pools, water park for children, infinity pool, spa area, sauna, in-house bike rental, extensive sports facilities – and much more.
Guests with dogs are particularly welcome at Krk Premium Camping Resort. The resort has its own dog beach to the west of the main beach. Here the animals can swim and romp around in the gently sloping water, and there are also parasols, sun loungers and dog showers on the beach. The camping resort also focuses on sustainability and uses solar panels, an ecologically sound irrigation system and environmentally friendly waste separation.

Camping Kovačine:
Relaxation and fun on the island of Cres

The Kovačine campsite is located in the immediate vicinity of the fishing town of Cres on the island of the same name and extends over 27 hectares in the midst of unspoiled nature, surrounded by the turquoise blue, crystal-clear sea . The approximately one and a half kilometer long, fine pebble beach with rocky sections offers plenty of sunbathing areas, bathing ladders to get in and enough space to relax. Nudism is permitted on a separate part of the beach as well as on a part of the campsite.
Leisure activities such as guided bike tours, city tours, a diving school under German management, which also offers courses for the deaf, cab boat, olive harvesting and olive oil production for interested guests in October – there is certainly something for everyone.
Naturist Camp Baldarin:
Nudism under the sun on the island of Cres

Naturist culture reigns supreme in this natural, wooded area of Naturist Camp Baldarin on the south coast of the island of Cres, interspersed with bushes, hedges and stone walls. There is direct access to the kilometer-long rocky beach with two idyllic pebble bays.
The site offers spacious pitches from the front row – from here you might even see a group of porpoises playing in the lagoon – to premium pitches close to the shore with a view of the water and shady niches under pine trees and bushes. All pitches have their own power supply and most also have a water connection. The 4-star campsite on the island of Cres also offers plenty of active leisure activities: sports entertainment on the beach, children’s entertainment in the mini club, professional massages and more.
San Marino Camping Resort:
Vacation on the paradise bay of the island of Rab

In the north of Rab, the smallest island in the series at just under 90 square kilometers, lies this beautiful spot on the popular, approximately one and a half kilometer long sandy beach of Paradise Bay. From here, you can enjoy the view of the sea and the small offshore islands and mountains. The seaside resort of Lopar is just a few kilometers away, as is the town of Rab, which bears the same name as the island. Here you will find beautiful sandy beaches, a wide range of leisure activities, numerous restaurants, cafés and stores.
The terrain of the campsite is mainly flat and sandy, criss-crossed by two canals and overgrown with deciduous and coniferous trees. A separate dog beach and a special welcome for four-legged friends make the campsite a dog-friendly vacation paradise.
