Naturist camping in Crotia

The first official nudist beach opened in Croatia back in 1953 and the range of options for nudists has continued to grow ever since. Along the Adriatic Sea on the mainland and on the picturesque islands, there are numerous bathing opportunities for naturist holidaymakers and many campsites in Croatia also specialise in this target group.

Destinations

A naturist campsite in Croatia offers its guests a feeling of privacy and relaxed coexistence in harmony with nature - numerous campsites for naturists have been established, especially in Istria and around the Kvarner Bay. These are also perfect for those who want to combine nude bathing with sightseeing, as historic towns such as Pula or Rovinj with their historical attractions are not far from numerous naturist beaches. The Kvarner Bay with the islands of Krk and Cres is also ideal for naturist camping in Croatia. Here you can benefit from a wide range of water sports and cultural attractions - Krk is generally regarded as the cradle of Croatian culture and has several naturist beaches, some of which are located in idyllic bays with pebble beaches.

The Kovacine naturist campsite near Cres is located on unspoilt terrain in a sparse olive grove and mixed forest. The 1.5 km long rocky beach impresses with a fine pebble beach and offers its guests concreted sunbathing areas, bathing ladders and a long beach promenade where you can take a leisurely stroll. Guests also have the opportunity to take part in guided cycle tours or learn to scuba dive under German guidance. Another Eldorado for fans of naturism is the Camp Arena Kazela campsite near Medulin. It impresses with its unspoilt, spacious grounds and wide range of leisure activities.
