From the cold Sauerland to sunny Istria.
53 day tour with a travel length of approx. 2500km.
We cycled everywhere from Savudrija (in the north of Istria) to Pula and saw many beautiful bays. Almost all bays and towns such as Novigrad, Porec and Rovinj can be reached via bike paths or roads with little traffic, because in Croatia you can also drive through campsites.

Camping Park Umag, Ladin gaj, Umag, Kroatien
This campsite is very large and made a very neat impression on us! Despite the size, you never had the feeling that the place was too crowded and too loud. It was mainly the countless gardeners who were responsible for the beautiful area that were loud.
The wash houses were constantly cleaned. A cleaning team was on duty all day.
There is everything you need at the campsite. Supermarkets, pools, restaurants, pizzerias, bakers and lots of sports facilities. The center of Umag is about 9 km away and is easy to reach by bike. On the way to Umag there are supermarkets like Lidl, Kaufland or Plodine. Here you can get pretty much everything and understandably cheaper than on the campsite.
At 18 days, we had the longest stay here on our Croatia trip.

Camping Polari
Camping Polari is also a very large campsite. Here, too, the infrastructure is similar to that of the Umag Camping Park described above.
We were able to occupy a parking space with sun and shade there. But some places are so overgrown with trees that I have to ask myself how campers drive their motorhomes or caravans in there. Sometimes you had branches etc. on the roof. Later they are surprised that everything is scratched. I would then rather pay a few euros more for another parking space. But somehow that's a good thing, then they don't occupy good places :)
In the reception area there were a lot of swallows' nests with their offspring. This frequency is certainly something special and definitely a nice experience for children!
If you spend a few days at Camping Polari, you should also visit the town of Rovinj, which is well worth seeing. The best way is by bike, because the bike path (approx. 7km) is very nice.

Camping Bi Village
We also really liked Camping Bi Village. The place is large, well-kept, clean and quiet.
On the beach you can go for a nice walk or bike ride. We made a bike tour to Pula. We didn't like Pula that much as a city and the bike path there is not recommended either.
The supermarket on the campsite is well stocked.
There is also a lot for children to experience (climbing park, etc.)

Polidor Family Camping Resort
Camping Polidor is one of the smaller campsites in Istria and is not directly on the beach. The beach is about 800m away and you can take the site's own small train and have it picked up (I think it's free / we didn't use it).
The campsite is very nice precisely because of its smaller size. Everything is very clean, neat and tidy here.
The reception at the reception was very friendly and nice.
