  • 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass pitch (premium)

Liked: Absolutely fantastic!! We loved this campsite, it had that little touch of finesse. The pool was a beautiful area, as was the toilets and showers. Everyone was friendly, pitch was a good size and it was a short walk from the sea, which was underdevelopment and had 2 great places to drink. The santa marina by the sea was great. Great job and value for money!!

Disliked: The fact that I couldn't give 6 stars!!

Liked: Csodálatos környezetben, egy igazán igényes, szép és tiszta kemping. Kisgyerekes család révén sok időt töltöttünk a kalózhajós medencénél. Az Animátor lányok munkájához csak gratulálni tudunk. Mindenkivel nagyon kedvesek és igazán energikusak. A kemping lakó közössége és az ügyeletes éjszakai személyzet is nagyon kedves és segítőkész volt egy éjszaka jött váratlan vihar után.

Disliked: A kavicsos sátorhelyek megnehezítették a sátrunk lerögzítését, de a nagy esőzések idején jó volt, hogy nem a sárban kellett lennünk.

Liked: Der Campingplatz ist sehr sauber mit schönen Bungalows und Stellplätzen für Wohnmobile und Wohnwagen, die mit Hecken abgetrennt sind und mit hellem Schotter ausgelegt sind. Die Stellplätze sind großzügig bemessen und wir hatten freie Wahl, wo wir uns hinstellen wollten. Die Sanitäranlagen sind sehr großzügig (wie auf den Bildern im Internet) und super sauber!!! Für Familien mit kleinen Kindern, hier gibt es eine tolle Wasserlandschaft und auch Animation für kleine Kinder. Der kleine Laden und besonders die Bäckerei sind zu empfehlen. In der Nähe sind Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants, die zu empfehlen sind.

Disliked: Uns persönlich war die Animation für Kinder zu laut, da die Stellplätze für Wohnmobile fast alle direkt in der Nähe der Poollandschaft sind. Außerdem gibt es eine Straße hinter den Stellplätzen, die uns zu laut war.

Liked: Large open pitches, well spaced. Very friendly, helpful staff Good restaurant with plenty of choices of both food and drink. Bakery and small shop available Excellent facilities, always kept clean. Plenty of sun beds, and a beautiful pool area Excellent facilities for children. Overall very good, well placed for exploring surrounding area, though a short car or bike ride to nearest beach. Would highly recommend, especially for families

Disliked: Loose gravel as ground cover made biking and sometimes walking difficult - needs to be much more compacted. Hooks in showers placed too high. Impossible for people of shorter stature (4’ 11”) to reach, resulting in wet clothing/towels etc. Nothing provided to mop shower after use. ( impossible for cleaners to be there all the time) Grey waste disposal not marked on site map and is out of site and across a car park. needs to be made clearer.

Liked: Beautiful site great pool and facilities. Good on site restaurant and helpful staff.

Disliked: Pitches are on hard standing gravel and not grass and gravel as in pitch up website. Also no full serviced pitches as advertised on pitch up. Staff at site were shocked to see this wrong advertisement.

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.
