  • Dalmatia seafront site with access to beach on the Karin Sea
  • Zadar and Kornati Islands boat trips within a half-hour drive
  • Playground, games room and watersports kit hire on site
Set up camp by what some call ‘the smallest sea in the world’… in reality the Karin Sea is actually an isolated part of the Adriatic, but there’s no arguing about the fact that Kamp Karin is right on the shoreline. This Dalmatia site is in a particularly pretty beachfront spot between the gorgeously clear sea water and the ancient pinewood trees; and it’s also a most handy spot, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the little village of Donji Karin, which has cafés, restaurants and a small supermarket. For more amenities, a 15-minute drive gets you to Benkovac for a supermarket, a popular farmers’ market, cultural events and various amenities. The area around the site is splendid for those seeking some outdoors time – as well as easy access to the beach (for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing and sailing as well as just chilling out), there are lots of walking and cycling routes around – with treats along the way in the form of fresh fruits and local olive oil to purchase. Pampering is possible too at the area’s natural mineral mud baths. On site, all sorts of handy facilities are provided, including a playground and games room to keep the small travellers busy, plus a launderette, dog park and wifi connection. You can hire paddleboards and kayaks on site too for a bit of watery exploration. Safety and security are taken seriously at this site – it’s got a secure boundary fence and full-time night guard so you can sleep soundly, and reception’s open all day with multilingual staff to help out with any problems.

Powered grass and earth campsite

Liked Nähe zum Wasser, schöne Spazierwege in der Umgebung

Disliked Sanitäranlagen veraltert und am Abend nicht mehr sauber, Poollandschaft sehr klein , sehr viel Stellplätze auf engem Raum,Bootanlegestelle direkt am Strand vorm Campingplatz daher zwischendurch sehr laut und ständiger Benzingeruch in der Luft, der Strandeingang zum Wasser sehr seicht sodass man nur max.bis zum Knie im Wasser ist, man muss einige Meter zurück legen um schwimmen zu können. Am Abend oft Lärm durch laute Musik vom Ort sowie von der Straße die direkt am Campingplatz vorbei führt. Quatverleih ebenfalls am Platz und somit auch dadurch Lärm Belästigung, denn Strand nützen auch Urlauber die nicht am Campingplatz sind und gehen einfach durch den Campingplatz durch obwohl eine Verbotstafel hängt jedoch wird es nicht kontrolliert. Nicht auf jedem Stellplatz Strom und Wasser verfügbar, ein Stromkasten für bis zu vier Stellplätze ,mit 15m Kabel wird es schon eng.Die Geschwindigkeit die manche Autofahrer am Platz hinlegen ist besorgniserregend für alle die Kinder haben. Generell macht es den Eindruck das der Campingplatz nur Profiorientiert aufgebaut ist und es hier keine Regeln einzuhalten gibt.

Power optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite (sea view)

Liked Mein Mann und ich waren mit unserem Hund und unseren 3 Kindern (2, 3 und 7 jahren) zum ersten Mal mit eigenem Zelt dort. Wir hatten anfangs nur 5 tage gebucht haben aber dann 2 mal vor Ort verlängert da es so schön war. Die Atmosphäre und der Standort ist wirklich traumhaft! Es waren viele andere Familien und auch einige andere Hunde Vorort. Die Sanitäranlagen und der Pool wurden jeden tag sauber gemacht. Sogar ein Kinderspielplatz ist vorhanden. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle super Nett und hilfsbereit.

Disliked Nur eine Waschmaschine die fast immer belegt ist

Liked Blízko u moře, malý kemp, bazén, kemp kde není tolik lidí, žadné restaurace a bary v areálu,

Disliked Lepší čistota na wc, už je vidět, že má něco za sebou, rozbitý plot díky kterému kempem prochazely i cizí lidi, občas rušilly hosté ubytovaní v soukromých apartmánech, ale za to kemp nemuže. Opravit plot, regulovat vstup do kempu a investovat do oprav a kemp bude TOP pro lidi co chtěji klid a moře 5 m od kempu.

Liked Posto molto carino è suggestivo.
C'è la piscina e tanta tranquillità.
Alcune piazzole sono un poco al sole e non è tanto agevole lo scarico delle acque grigie.
Nel complesso molto buono

Local attractions

This part of the world is stacked with splendid scenery – and you’ll be well placed to see lots of it from Camping Karin. Start locally with an outing to see the ruins of Novigrad Castle (15 minutes’ drive), up on a windswept clifftop, then move on to the colourful underground grottos at Cerovacke Caves (45 minutes). For views mixed up with activity, there are some gorgeous canoe and raft trips through Zrmanja Canyon (half an hour) or hikes by the waterfalls in Krka National Park (45 minutes). Intrepid types may also choose to bungee jump at Maslenica bridge (25 minutes). Croatia’s national parks are well known for their stunning views, so it may also be worth trying to get in outings to the Kornati National Park (take a boat from Biograd, half an hour away) and Plitvice Lakes National Park (an hour and 20 minutes). If urban strolls are more your thing, aim instead for Zadar (half an hour) and Šibenik, with its UNESCO-listed cathedral (50 minutes).
