Camping on Rab: Campsites, Ferries and Tips for Campers
Rab is very popular with campers – thanks to the sandy beaches around Lopar and the island's long naturist tradition. The choice ranges from large resorts to small sites with just a few pitches.
Getting there by ferry
A car ferry runs all year round from Stinica on the mainland to Mišnjak in the south of the island. In summer there is also a ferry from Valbiska on Krk to Lopar. In strong Bora winds, the ferry from Stinica may be cancelled – so check the current timetable.

Banjol, Barbat and Kampor
Valamar Camping Padova is located in the bay at Banjol, and you can walk along the seafront promenade to Rab town. Kamp Wodenča in Barbat is a small site with 20 pitches in an olive grove. In Kampor you'll find Planka and the small camping area of Lando Resort with eight pitches.
Naturism on Rab
Rab is considered one of the cradles of naturist holidays on the Adriatic. Around Lopar there are several naturist beaches that are easy to reach from the campsites.
Good to know for your stay
Wild camping is prohibited in Croatia, including with a motorhome. In peak season, the sites in Lopar fill up quickly – so book early. Smaller sites such as Wodenča or Lando are better suited to tents, motorhomes and smaller caravans.
