  • Well-equipped pine forest site 800m from a small, sheltered beach
  • Pool, waterslides, play area, sports, mountain and electric bikes
  • Water, electricity and wifi throughout; bakery, deli, shop, restaurant
In the peaceful shade of tall pine trees, about 10 minutes’ walk from the Adriatic Sea, Boutique Camping Santa Marina combines all the elements that make the Istrian peninsula in north-west Croatia such a hotspot for happy holidays. Under 20 minutes’ drive from the old towns of Novigrad and Poreč, the site is tucked away enough to feel like you’ve escaped to a remote part of the coast. But the fun to be had on site means you won’t feel out on a limb. Splashing about on a seaworthy pirate ship and zooming down the waterslides is likely to keep kids busy for most of the day. There’s a nautical-themed playground on dry land too if they want a change of scene. Adults might prefer a few lengths of the pool before settling down for a siesta on the sundeck. In the summer months the free kids’ club has all the entertainments sorted. Or if you want to get the whole family involved you can cook up a feast in the bbq zone then burn off the energy playing table tennis and beach volleyball, joining in a sports tournament, or renting a mountain or electric bike. The site’s small beach is only about 10 minutes’ walk away. Like many of the little coves around Istria, there’s no sand but the shingled bay, rocks to explore and shallow access to the sea make it family friendly. On site all the practicalities are covered with a laundry rooms, bakery, deli, small shop for essentials and large indoor-outdoor restaurant. There are also special children’s and parent and baby washrooms. If you need a pharmacy or other shops it’s a five-minute drive into the town of Tar where there’s also lots more places to eat.

What customers say

This highly-rated campsite boasts exceptional, modern, and immaculately clean facilities, particularly the pool area and sanitary blocks. Guests frequently praise the cleanliness, spacious pitches, and friendly, helpful staff who speak good English. The on-site restaurant and bakery are also well-received. While most visitors have a fantastic experience, some note issues with noise from a nearby road and find the pitches (especially for tents) to be on gravel, which can be uncomfortable. A few mention that hot water availability in showers and washing-up sinks can be limited in the evenings.

Jürgen B.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch

Liked schöner Stellplatz im Schatten, zwar an der Strandstrasse, aber lärmtechnisch "auszuhalten" mit kurzem Weg zum Sanitärgebäude. P.S. die hinteren Plätze
sind "etwas" weit davon entfernt !
Strom + Wasser frei und einfach zugänglich.
Neuwertig verfügbare Liegen + Schirme an den beiden kleineren Pools.
Eifrige "Saubermänner", welche ständig am Wischen waren.
Saubere Duschen + WC's, soweit nicht von Urlaubern "unordentlich" (Klopapier am Boden verteilt) verlassen wurden.

Disliked wäre vielleicht sinnvoll die Platzeinteilung zu kennzeichnen - Wohnwagen-KFZ
werden auf Stellplätzen "geparkt" - diese sind dann besetzt !
WLAN ließ zu wünschen übrig !

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch

Liked Krásné prostředí v borovém háji s dostatkem odděleného rovného prostoru pro každého kempujícího. Čisté a luxusní zázemí, bazén s pirátskou lodí- skvělá zábava pro děti a plavecká část na osvěžení pro dospělé. Jako bonus ( kromě restaurace a zmrzlinářství tu funguje pekárna.

Andreas B.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch

Liked Die Infrastruktur der Anlage ist in jeder Hinsicht fünf Sterne wert. Das Highlight ist der schöne Poolbereich und das sehr gute, wenn auch nicht preislich günstige Campingplatz Restaurant. Hinzu kommt eine gute Kinderanimation, die sicher noch mehr könnte aber für einen Campingplatz dieser Größe ausreichend.

Disliked Die Zeltplätze sind ausschließlich weniger als 100 Meter von einer auch nachts leider lauten Straße entfernt. Vor allem, weil die einheimischen dort ständig mit lauten, Motorrädern oder Autos langbrettern obwohl am Ende nur eine Hafen mit Strandbereich ist.... Der Platzbetreiber kann da nichts für, aber im Zelt schlafen ist dann natürlich schwierig.... Servicepersonal war auch sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr entspannt.

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch

Liked The place is super clean and fresh. Always someone cleaning and mopping the floors by the toilets/cleaning area. Plenty of sun beds. Good pool with a big ship to play by. Plenty of space for our motorhome.
Excellent kids club!

Fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch

Liked Wszystko.
Super miejsce z pięknym basenem, którego dzieciaki nie chciały opuścić. Bardzo czysty węzeł sanitarny z miejscem do prania, zmywania, kąpieli. po prostu warto tam pojechać. Mimo, że kemping nie mały to nikt nikomu nie wchodził na głowę. Animatorki dla dzieci, zajęcia aerobiku w basenie, dobre jedzonko w restauracji. Polecam, na pewno wrócimy.

Disliked nic.

Local attractions

If all the water fun on site gives the kids a taste for it, you can level up to epic proportions of aqua adventure at Aquapark Istralandia (20 minutes’ drive). The flumes here look more like rollercoasters than water slides and it’s regularly voted one of the best aqua parks in the world. Drive about 40 minutes inland to Pazin Chasm, a huge natural canyon with a castle above and caves below. Wind your way along the waymarked paths or prebook a guide to take you into the underground abyss. You can also zoom across the canyon on zip lines if screaming at the top of your lungs is your thing. For a more sedate day trip, search the boat cruises and fishing trips available along the Istrian coast. Lots launch from Novigrad to the north (15 minutes’ drive) and Poreč to the south (20 minutes) and you could combine them with a wander round these historic port towns.
