Opatija Camping

Pros

A quiet, very beautiful, and clean campsite. In the village, there are various restaurants and shops, as well as walking paths and hiking opportunities. Very nice, well-kept promenade. Campsite/ Rental accommodation: pitches can be chosen freely; sufficiently large pitches; older but very clean and well-maintained sanitary facilities. Friendly and attentive staff;

Cons

We missed nothing, thus no points of criticism.

Pros

Not without reason did Franz Joseph I declare Opatija the first health resort of Austria-Hungary. We were here at the end of April and are thrilled by the variety of landscapes, atmosphere, climate, sea, and mountains. What more could you want? Perhaps.... "Come on, last twist again like we did a hundred years ago in summers". Site/rental accommodation: the motorhome pitch is very good, especially if you have a spot in the sun with a view of the Adriatic.

Cons

Safe cycling paths. Site/rental accommodation: door latches on the bathroom doors.

Pros

We appreciated the freedom to choose our pitch. Power connections were accessible almost everywhere on the site. We have never seen a dishwasher at any other campsite. The sanitary facilities were clean, though somewhat dated. The staff at the reception and the cleaning crew were very friendly. We found a lovely pitch with a view of the sea, providing enough space for our small tent.

Cons

The paths to the sanitary facilities could be better paved in some places, with small steps or similar.

Good starting position for a great hike along the Lung Mare Panorama Path to Opatija and Lovran. Otherwise, not very recommendable and also relatively expensive.

The campsite is on a slope, is extensive and not parceled, making it harder to find a suitable free spot. Not only for this reason do vehicles continually drive around searching for a place – it also seems that there is no real night-time peace, as even at midnight travelers were still arriving. The campsite is very close to the sea, not far from the (pebble) beach where one can walk along the shore (about 4 km to Opatija). In the village, there is a supermarket, and at the entrance of the campsite, there is a small bakery stand (also open on Sundays during peak season). There are several sanitary buildings, but in the one closest to us, it was (despite cleaners) constantly dirty, and toilet paper was often missing. Moreover, the toilet cubicles are so cramped that one has to squeeze beside the toilet to close the door. And the toilet seats are so high that children cannot reach them at all. From us, no recommendation.

We were pleasantly surprised upon arriving at this campsite. Nice welcoming entrance, very friendly staff. Sites in nature, under the trees, you choose your spot. Simple but good and clean sanitary facilities. Waking up in the morning with a deer next to the tent (ok it was 6 am :-) ). Avoid the sites down below, which are close to the road. Small walking path (3 min.) that leads to the campsite-beach.

Place on the slope, terraced, free seating, sanitary facilities simple but very clean. Friendly reception. Very nice, although further (4km) walk to Opatija (Lungo Mare). Food/bread in the nearby Icici (Konsum).

Very many sloping places, terraced. No space allocation, therefore a wild mess. Unfortunately, with the rain we had too much, a lot of mud. Beautiful view and good for a visit to Opatija.
