Comparing prices of camping in Istria for season 2019

We have taken into account a family - 2 adults and 2 children, 4 and 11 years old, that are camping in high season on arranged camping pitch with electricity and water or by the sea. We did not take into account additional costs, such as tourist and ecological taxes, registration fee and similar.

An average price for camping of a family on camping pitch with electricity in Istria in 54,40€ (last year it was 53,90€), while higher rise of the prices has happened for camping be the beach, where an average cost for family sums to 68,30€, which is 5.4% more than last year.

The most affordable prices are in camping Tunarica and Dvor on East coast of Istria, where family camping costs from 32 to 35€ per night. Cheaper than an average is as well camping on the southern tip of Istria, in campings Pineta, Brioni and Arena Runke.

Prices are higher in the well arranged campsites for pitches located by the beach and camping on very large camping pitches. More expensive camping would be in destinations around towns Novigrad, Porec and Rovin. In these campsites you would need to pay from 55 to 65€ per night for a family.
