  • Friendly small-scale site on the north coast of Pašman
  • Beach opposite the site; 10 minutes' drive to Tkon ferry port
  • Kitchen and barbecues on site; kayaks and bikes for rent
Time to dial the pace down on life for a little while? How about a bit of time hanging out on one of Dalmatia’s less touristed islands? With quiet beaches, lots of greenery and some easily accessible hiking/bike trails to explore on its 60 square kilometres of land, the island of Pašman makes a splendid place to chill out for a few days. It’s the gorgeous beaches that draw a lot of people here – and you’ll be almost next to one of them when you stay at Camp Arboretum, on the northern side of the island about five minutes’ drive from Barotul. This small-scale family site is about 150 metres from the sand, with a handful of beach bars, restaurants and a market within easy walking distance too. This is a friendly site with just the right amount of facilities to make guests comfortable – it’s got showers, toilets and wifi as well as a play area where the kids can have a bit of a run about. The central facility is a gathering place with kitchen facilities (including a fridge, gas cooker and dishes for guest use) and barbecues (best used to cook up meals of whatever you’ve sourced at the fish and veg markets three kilometres away…) Relaxing on the beach is of course a good way to spend a day or few – but so is getting out to explore the island. The folk on site have made that easy for you as there are bikes and kayaks to rent and the owner often organises sailing trips on his traditional boat.

Beside some flaws regarding dirt in the kitchen, it‘s a nice place!

Liked: Great Landlord: super helpful, chatty, gave us a lot of ideas for daytrips, offered a Kajak for free, gave us a warm welcome with beers. Amazing view: You can‘t be closer to the sea without beeing in the sea. A small and quiet place, mostly visited by locals and a few Germans that live there permanently. Right next to a small Store, enough to supply you with the most necassary thing for daily living (Toilet paper, Food, Beer and Water, Toothbrush, … Astonishing coastline: A small beach is just 5 Meters up or down the street and with the Kajaks, it‘s easy to explore the rual areas in a calm an nice way. If you walk a couple of hundret meters up the road, you can also find a small path, leading you into the hills to some Great Peaks with amazing views over the whole island. Nothing to hard if you are fit, just some easy trails.

Disliked: The Kitchen and the bathroom were super-dirty. The bahroom was full of spiders and Even a small scorpion came along to say hello to us. Compared to German or French Standards it was a mess. Anyways, the living room and the bedroom were tidy, clean and due to the nature stone walls very well tempered. Not to hot, not to cold, not to humid.

Local attractions

How would you like to explore? If you’re heading out on foot you may like to climb up to Veliki Bokolj, the island’s highest point at 275 metres – the hike will take a couple of hours from the campsite. The Ćokovac Monastery (an hour and 20 minutes on foot) is another nice place to visit. Cyclists, meanwhile, can choose from two well-marked bike paths (number 8 being a gentler option than number 7). Or, if it’s all about the sea for you, take a tour of beaches like Lucina (five minutes’ drive) and Tratica (10 minutes). Making your way along the coastline in a kayak is also an excellent way to explore some of the coves along the shoreline. You can also cross the bridge to the neighbouring island of Ugljan or join a boat trip to the Kornati Islands (from Biograd na Moru, 45 minutes away). Head back over to the mainland and you can also make day trips to places like Zadar (an hour), Krka National Park (an hour and 15 minutes) or Paklenica National Park (an hour and a half).
