Autocamp Medveja

Opatija


Given the lack of affordable hotels in Opatija, the new mobile homes and simple en suite rooms at this peaceful campground are worth considering. It's set in a cleft in the mountains in a leafy valley leading to a pretty pebbly cove, 10km south of Opatija. You can pay for full and half board, and facilities are well maintained.
