Naturism – camping in the spirit of traditional Croatian tourism

Naturism in Croatia has a long tradition. It is believed that it started on the island of Rab during the 1930s. Thes story goes that Dr Richard Ehrmann from Vienna, the first president of the International Naturist Federation, proclaimed Rajska (Paradise) beach a naturist beach back then. Subsequently, in August 1936, the first to swim naked on the same island were Britain's King Edward VIII and his beloved, the American Wallis Simpson.

Mini campsites ... small and family-run campsites

You will get to know the customs of certain parts of Croatia better in the intimate atmosphere of smaller, so-called ‘mini campsites’ each providing up to about 30 accommodation units, making up a maximum of about 100 guests. The space made available to campers is mainly within family estates and courtyards.

 

You will find such camps down the whole Adriatic coast, from Istria to Dubrovnik, and together with a few other campers you can enjoy your holiday in the shade of olive trees, pine and palm branches, close to vineyards, beaches, the sea, or other beautiful natural attractions. Indeed it might also happen that you find yourself having all this to just yourself, with no other guests around at all. In the mini-campsites, which are mostly located in beautiful locations.

In Croatia it is a punishable offence to camp in open spaces outside of registered campsites or parking lots for caravans and camper-vans.
