Camping Valkanela ****
General information
Swimming pools and beaches on the Croatian coast
This Croatian campsite is a great spot for a holiday full of beach days, but also for a holiday full of fun at the three large swimming pools. Make sure you pack your swimming gear for this camping holiday! Campsite Valkanela is situated on a beautiful green bay. The pebble beach is well maintained and you can walk straight from the campsite to the beach. Sports enthusiasts are also well catered for with bike rides, walks and tennis, for example. From the campsite you can make various excursions, for example to water amusement park Aquacolors.Beaches for everyone on the Croatian coast
Campsite Valkanela is situated on a green bay between Vrsar and Funtana. These Croatian coastal towns are located directly on the Adriatic Sea, less than a ten-minute drive from the campsite. The rocky and pebble beaches on the Istrian peninsula tend to be very beautiful. The little ones can splash around safely in the clear blue sea. The beach at the campsite is also partly accessible to disabled people. Water sports enthusiasts can take to the sea by canoe or jet ski. In for an exciting adventure? Go on a banana boat ride!Swimming pools for all ages
One minute you are diving into the sea, and the next you are jumping into the pool. The little ones can have fun in the paddling pool with exciting sprinklers. Slightly more experienced little swimmers can enjoy themselves in the children's pool. And the underwater beds in the largest pool are a great place for taking a break from all the fun. The large pool is also suitable for swimming some laps. Fancy a drink? The pool bar is right by the pool.A day full of fun activities
Attention sports enthusiasts! This campsite has a lot to offer for holidaymakers who want to keep moving. Whether you like tennis, mini golf or beach volleyball. The children can also lose some energy at this campsite. The trampolines and playgrounds will get them moving. If they don't feel like jumping up and down, the entertainment team will keep them busy with sports tournaments, craft workshops and talent shows. After a day full of fun activities, they will certainly be hungry. Take them to one of the restaurants. What do you fancy for dinner? A typical Croatian meal, a pizza or some French fries on the beach?Camping by the sea or staying in a SunLodge
Campsite Valkanela is situated between the forests on the Adriatic Sea. You can camp right by the sea, but also in the shade of pine trees. Perhaps the most beautiful pitches are on the little peninsula. There you will be pitched both under the trees and by the water. If you fancy a completely care-free holiday, the range of luxury accommodations is large. For example, choose a SunLodge. Then you will have two bathrooms and wonderfully soft beds. And within a few steps you’re on the beach!A walk with a view
Vrsar, Poreč and Rovinj are beautiful little towns near the campsite. Vrsar, with its charming boulevard, is within walking distance. Half an hour's walk and you're there. During your walk you can enjoy the view; there are eighteen uninhabited islands near the coast. Poreč is a 15-minute drive, and Rovinj is half an hour away. Are you heading out with the kids? Then pay a visit to the brand new Aquacolors aqua park in Poreč. You can be there in 30 minutes by car. Tip: take Croatian language lessons at the campsite. Then you’ll be prepared when you explore the area. It's always nice to be able to order your food at the campsite in Croatian!

We hebben een fijne tijd gehad op deze gezellige en gastvrije camping. Het huisje was netjes, schoon en goed uitgerust. We verbleven in een 4-persoons huisje met een barbecue, wat erg sfeervol was.
Een praktisch minpuntje: het warme water in de douche was erg snel op. Na één persoon douchen was het water al koud, wat met twee volwassenen en een kind soms echt lastig was. Hopelijk kan dat nog verbeterd worden.
Wat we wél heel prettig vonden, was dat er een paar vaatwastabletten klaarlagen. Dat soort kleine dingen maken het net wat comfortabeler. Een leuke extra zou zijn als er bij aankomst ook een paar koffiecupjes liggen – na een reis meteen een kopje koffie zou een warm welkom zijn!
Al met al een prettige camping met een fijne sfeer zeker de moeite waard.

Der Campingplatz ist sehr schön. Er ist sehr groß, aber dennoch verläuft es sich, so dass nirgends größere Menschenansammlungen sind. Es gibt alles was man braucht (Bäcker, Restaurants, Gemüseladen). Lediglich der CheckIn/CheckOut ist nicht gut organisiert. Hier steht man ewig lange in der Schlange.

Der Campingplatz war von der Lage in ortnung aber das Personal sowie die sanitär Anlagen gingen garnicht. Und von den hygienischen Maßnahmen wegen corona war auch wenig zu sehen.

How are CO2 emissions calculated? We base our calculations on a family of four persons. We calculate the following amount of emissions per person:
Train: 0.03 kg per kilometre
Car: 0.137 kg per kilometre
Airplane: from 0.59 kg to 1.04 kg per kilometre, depending on the distance
A lower CO2 emission is better for the environment. Will you choose an experience that is significant?
