Camper Trip to Krk: Pitches, the Bridge and Tips for Campers
Krk is one of the easiest islands in Croatia for campers: you simply drive across the Krk Bridge, with no ferry and no toll. The island has more than 20 campsites and camper stops, from big resorts right by the sea to small family-run sites in an olive grove.
Getting there via the Krk Bridge
The bridge has been toll-free since 2020. In strong bora winds, however, it is sometimes closed to motorhomes, caravans and motorcycles, more often in winter than in summer. If a storm is forecast, check the current traffic report before you set off.
Large campsites by the sea
Ježevac Premium Camping Resort and Valamar Camping Krk are right next to the old town of Krk. In Baška, Valamar Camping Baška lies at the end of Vela plaža, and in Njivice you'll find the Aminess Atea Camping Resort. Camping Omišalj is handy because you're there shortly after the bridge.
Small campsites and mini camps
If you prefer it quieter, you'll find plenty of small family-run sites: Kamp Mali with 30 pitches just a few metres from the beach in Baška, Mini Camp Draga near Malinska, Camping Slamni in Klimno, Camp Punta Jerta and Camping Amar in Pinezići, or Camping Mali Raj in Glavotok. Camper Stop Felix is right in the town of Krk – with the Island Pass you get a discount there.
Naturist and adults-only camping
For naturist holidaymakers there is FKK-Camping Bunculuka in a secluded bay near Baška. Camping Oliveto Residence in Punat is a small mobile home resort for adults only.
Ferries to the neighbouring islands
From the Valbiska ferry port you can sail year-round to Merag on Cres and, in summer, to Lopar on Rab. The ferry fare depends on the length of your vehicle.
Good to know for your stay
Wild camping is prohibited in Croatia, including overnight stays in a motorhome in car parks or on beaches. So always stay at a campsite or an official pitch. In July and August the sites by the sea are often full – book early. The roads in the south around Baška and Stara Baška are in places narrow and winding.
