The Region

The Region in Detail

Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Zadar Region.

Coastal Magic vs. Island Idyll 🏝️

The Zadar region can be roughly divided into two areas: the coast with its lively towns and the offshore islands with their untouched nature. On the coast, you benefit from good infrastructure and short distances to sights. On the islands, you experience authentic, relaxed island life – perfect for switching off and enjoying.

Mobile on Site: Leave the Motorhome? 🚐

The Zadar region is easy to explore by motorhome. However, note that some coastal roads are narrow and winding. For trips to Zadar's old town or the islands, it is recommended to leave the motorhome at a campsite and switch to public transport (bus, ferry). Tolls apply on the motorways.

Insider Tip: Discover the Hinterland! 🤫

Leave the coast and dive into the green hinterland of the Zadar region! Visit the small village of Vrana on the lake of the same name, one of Croatia's largest freshwater lakes. Here you can hike, watch birds, and enjoy the peace of nature. A real insider tip for everyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle.
