TOUR ESSENTIALS

When to go

We visited Croatia and Slovenia in late May/early June. Popular places such as Rovinj were busy, while in others, it was evident the season hadn’t started.

way to go

We took the overnight ferry from Hull to Rotterdam, stopped off in Germany, then crossed the edge of Slovenia until we reached Croatia.

how to book

We booked the ferry via the Caravan and Motorhome Club and used our ACSI book to choose sites. Having read how busy Camping Bled is, we phoned to book a pitch and used CAMC Overseas Site Night Vouchers.

On the road

Most motorways in Croatia are toll roads. You can pay in kuna or use a credit card. In Slovenia, you need a vignette for motorways or dual carriageways – and they do check. Buy one at fuel stations in Slovenia and neighbouring countries, at the border or online.

food and drink

Site restaurants were excellent and we dined there several times, because campsites tend to be driving or cycling distance away from the nearest town.
