Top campsites in Mediterranean and Karst Slovenia

Holidays by the sea or among vineyards – pick the best campsites in Mediterranean and Karst Slovenia.

Holidays in a campsite surrounded by the scents of the Mediterranean

Does the word "camping" conjure up the scent of the sea in your mind? Make this a reality by finding a suitable campsite on the Slovenian coast! You’ll wake up to the sounds of waves and seagulls by the blue Adriatic Sea. Or if you prefer not to be so close to the sea but still like to enjoy a mild Mediterranean climate, why not find a campsite in the karst hinterland or the Vipava Valley?
