DavieR Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 As far as I know wild camping in Croatia is illegal. In Slovenia it is illegal to wild camp in the Triglav National Park and seems frowned on in the rest of the country. There are several "aires" in Slovenia and cheap overnight parking dotted around the country. The Campercontact App is a good resource.. I have no info for the Czech Republic or Poland where in the past we used camping sites all the time. Have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirou Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Slovenian official camperstop network http://www.camperstop.si/en/ Forget about wildcamping in Slovenia or Croatia. Can it be done? Yes, but it's illegal and often enforced, especially in Croatia and all the touristy locations in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeco Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 In Croatia many of the wooded areas still have live mines in the ground as a hang over from the last major skirmish. We were warned by locals not to venture off the road into the forest. My experience in Croatia is that most folk are very welcoming to tourists so best to stay in a caravan park keep, your legs and take advantage of the hospitality. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirou Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 It's highly unlikely a tourist, let alone someone in a motorhome, will find themselves anywhere near a mine. But it's a good way to scare people and keep certain parts free for people to enjoy in solitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfromnorfolk Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Went to Croatia a couple of years ago. Well worth the trip. Went down to Dubrovnik via the ferry avoiding the bit of Bosnia. Would recommend a visit to Zagreb. Very welcoming people but as others have said use campsites as wild camping is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottypam Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 In Austria at the moment, on our way to Slovenia and Croatia. If you haven’t already got it, get the CamperContact app. It has places to stop that aren’t camp sites. Can recommend Pri Jujuri if you like mountains, very rustic and the owner is a real character and a good cook. Ljubljana is well worth a visit, there is a Motorhome stopover at a P&R, a bit noisy but very convenient for visiting the city, all facilities too. Lake Bled is lovely and there is an ACSI site there. In Croatia, the Plitvika Lakes are good as are the Istrian and Adriatic coasts. Both are beautiful countries with very friendly people and English is widely spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirou Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 If you're stopping in Ljubljana you have several better options than the P+R next to the railroad & motorway you mention. Area Sosta Camper - "Livada” - Ljubljana Hladnikova cesta 15, 1000 Ljubljana https://maps.app.goo.gl/7eudafCJxJi7PGLs8 Camper stop Vrbinc Peruzzijeva ulica 105, 1000 Ljubljana 051 335 600 https://maps.app.goo.gl/EpXMzLAW6waLEBN99 GOSTILNA PRI KOVACU (google doesn't mention it but there is also a camper stop) Cesta II. grupe odredov 82, 1261 Ljubljana - Dobrunje (01) 542 95 77 https://maps.app.goo.gl/awT5SP7iLZckYy6AA Closest to the center but probably noisy Parkirišce Trg OF 1000 Ljubljana https://maps.app.goo.gl/xHZNwrq74K9aHzT1A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 sreve - 2019-04-17 4:05 PM Hi all We're heading towards Croatia soon and was wondering what the free and wild camping is like in Croatia,Slovenia,Czech republic and Poland.Any info',usefully tips and recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks As most have mentioned wild camping is illegal in those countries but i'll give you a tip regards Poland where i've toured many years now. If on one of the motorway rest stops, police will not move you on. Also i've lost count of the number of Restaurants i've enjoyed a brilliant evening meal at, then asked the owner if i can overnight outside in my van. Never once been refused but make sure you ask first and above all, spend some money with them. In Poland the food is great, welcoming hospitality and it's not expensive at all....neither are campsites (expect to pay around £8 a night with ehu). Don't be afraid if the Restaurant looks 'a bit posh' because as a Brit you will automatically assume the meals must be expensive. Yes you will get quality food.....but you won't get ripped off. You are in Poland.....not UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
