Camp 'National Park'

Northern Dalmatia


On a bit of gravelly Adriatic beach next to the park's admin building, this basic 100-person campground is a favourite among climbers and other adventurers heading into the limestone canyons of Paklenica National Park. The swimming is great. No reservations are taken.
