Kamp Valkanela, Coastal campground in Vrsar, Croatia
Kamp Valkanela is a large coastal campground in Vrsar spread across a sheltered bay between Funtana and Vrsar, featuring stretches of pebble beaches backed by pine forest. The site offers both traditional pitches and mobile homes, with individual spaces of varying sizes to suit different needs.
What began as a simple camping area has been developed over several decades into a modern facility with swimming pools and upgraded amenities. This growth reflects the rising tourism boom along the Adriatic coast throughout the later 20th century.
The campground brings together visitors from across Europe who share a love of seaside camping and outdoor family life. You'll notice how the layout encourages neighbors to meet at shared facilities and participate in activities designed for all ages.
The site sits within a sheltered bay offering natural protection, making it suitable for swimmers of all levels, while the pine forests provide shade during hot afternoons. Nearby towns of Vrsar and Funtana are within easy reach for exploring restaurants, shops, and local attractions.
The property features three dedicated dog beaches with specialized washing stations, making it one of few European campsites so thoroughly equipped for traveling with pets. This thoughtful provision reflects how the design considers the needs of visitors and their animals.

Croatia's campgrounds stretch along the Adriatic coast, offering a relaxed way to experience the seaside. Whether you bring a tent, caravan, or rent a mobile home, you will find modern bathrooms, fresh water, and electricity hookups at most sites. Many campgrounds have outdoor pools where you can cool off on hot days, along with restaurants and small shops for daily needs. You can also join in sports activities like volleyball or kayaking that the sites organize. The campgrounds are scattered across two main regions. In the north, you will find sites on the Istrian peninsula, where the landscape features rolling hills and small fishing villages. Moving south toward Dalmatia, the coastline becomes rockier with dramatic cliffs and islands visible from the shore. Both areas sit within groves of Mediterranean pine trees, which provide shade and that distinctive salty, piney smell of the Adriatic region. What makes these campgrounds special is their location. Most have direct access to beaches or pebbled coves where you can swim within steps of your tent or caravan. The combination of nature and basic comforts means you wake up to sea views without sacrificing hot showers or a morning coffee. Families, couples, and solo travelers come here to spend days swimming, exploring nearby towns, and eating fresh seafood while staying connected to the natural rhythm of coastal life.
