Thanks to its comprehensive facilities and excellent service, Camping Valkanela has been awarded 4.5 stars by the ADAC.

Camping Valkanela: family camp on the Adriatic coast

In the far north-west of Croatia lies the popular region of Istria, which has become an Eldorado for water sports enthusiasts and individual holidaymakers. Right in the picturesque landscape of pine forests and the Adriatic Sea, Camping Valkanela is an oasis for families, bathers and those seeking peace and quiet near the fishing village of Vrsar.

Spread over 56 hectares, idyllically laid out around an elongated bay, Camping Valkanela has 2,000 pitches and around 500 mobile homes, bungalows and safari tents. Even the standard pitches are quite spacious with up to 100 square metres. The premium pitches offer even more space with up to 120 square metres. Bookings can be made at reception for spontaneous arrivals. A reservation via Pincamp, the ADAC camping portal, offers security.

Accommodation overview and facilities of the rental accommodation

The majority of the pitches, some of which are shady and well-maintained with greenery, offer both electricity connections and water supply. The sanitary facilities are within easy walking distance. Guests in the mobile homes also feel at home, even if it is not their own mobile home. The mobile homes are characterised by a modern and bright design concept and comprehensive facilities including a kitchen area, dining area, freezer, microwave oven and furnished garden. An unforgettable experience for any travelling party is an overnight stay in a safari tent at the Valkanela campsite.

The area of the 32 square metre Premium mobile homes is characterised by many small pools, which are shared by the holidaymakers in the neighbouring houses. The central pool area is not far from the beach promenade and offers a separate paddling pool for children and swimming pools. Guests will also find a pool bar, a pizzeria and the Kantineta restaurant here. Another bar on the jetty invites you to enjoy a drink with a sea view and the bar not far from the tennis court also faces the beach. Young and old alike won't get past the ice cream stands and cafés without ordering one and enjoy the ice cream as they stroll back to the plot. If you need something for the barbecue evening, you can find it in one of the two mini-markets on the campsite.

Swimming fun and an extensive sports programme

The spacious design around the bathing bay and the large stock of trees give the entire site a peaceful and natural charm. Retreats for those seeking relaxation do not clash with the lively areas such as the bathing area with water slide, the sports and play areas or the beach. This means that every camping guest can meet their holiday needs at Camping Valkanela.

The sports facilities are varied and include clay tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, bike hire, paddle boat hire and mini golf. There is also a crane and slipway for boats, a dog beach and a separate beach area for children, as well as numerous children's playgrounds. In the high season, there is a wide range of entertainment for all ages and children's activities every day.

If excursions are one of your interests, then a hike or bike ride to the centre of the fishing village of Vrsar, which is just 3 km south of the campsite, is well worthwhile. Also worth a visit is the town of Rovinj, around 30 km away, which is known above all for its beautiful old town with its many medieval buildings. It is advisable to book suitable accommodation before travelling. Although there are occasionally free pitches at the reception, you can secure your perfect pitch, the right mobile home and a romantic safari tent by booking on Pincamp.
