Original source: DerWesten.de

In Brief

According to PiNCAMP (ADAC) and ACSI analyses, the average camping night for a family in Croatia reached €73–78, the highest in Europe. Prices rose by 7% year-on-year and by 25% since 2020.

Croatia has become the most expensive camping destination in Europe in 2026, according to data from PiNCAMP (ADAC) and ACSI. PiNCAMP reports an average price of €73 per night for a family of two adults and a child under 10 with a motorhome or caravan, up 12% from the previous year. ACSI cites €78.28 for a family with two children and a caravan.

Across Europe, camping costs rose by an average of 7% year-on-year and by nearly 25% since 2020. Other expensive countries include Italy (€63), Switzerland (€61), and Slovenia (€60.14). The cheapest destinations are Norway (€38), Sweden (€40), and Germany (€41). Turkey was the only country where prices fell, to €13.57 per night.

Reasons for the price surge in Croatia include infrastructure investments, the adoption of the euro, rising operational costs, and high demand. Savings are possible during the off-season, when prices are on average 30% lower, and in Croatia the difference can exceed 50%.
