In Brief

Nikola Borić and partner Zorana sold their home on Papuk and moved into a camper. After 100 days, expenses roughly halved, though fuel and food costs rose.

Croatian athletics coach Nikola Borić, together with his partner Zorana, sold their house and land on Papuk and moved into a motorhome. After 100 days on the road, he reported that their expenses had roughly halved, although spending on fuel and food had increased.

According to Borić, they never paid for camping; they met people who offered water, electricity, and a place to park. He also noted that the number of people living a vanlife-style lifestyle in the US has grown from under 2 million to over 3 million in a few years.

A family of four found accommodation on the island of Ciovo in August for 63 euros, staying in a caravan with basic amenities. The sea was just a few steps away, with two beaches nearby. They prepared most meals themselves, bringing an electric grill to cut food costs. The parents noted the absence of TV and video games as a bonus, as the children were screen-free throughout the holiday.

A German family ended their two-week holiday at the Lavanda campsite in Orebić on Pelješac after only five days, citing a lack of shade on their plot. They shared their experience in the Facebook group "Kroatien mit Camper", as reported by Merkur.de. The campers praised the sanitary facilities, restaurant, and beach, but noted weak Wi-Fi, a sewage smell, and a steep path to the sea. The campsite did not charge them for the early departure.

A camper family ended their stay at CP Lavanda campsite in Orebić, Pelješac peninsula, after five nights, despite praising the sanitary facilities, restaurant, and beach. The main reason was the lack of shade on their pitch, which was unbearable in the heat. Additional complaints included sewer smell, weak Wi-Fi, and a steep path to the beach. The family was able to leave without cancellation fees, which they noted as unusual. Other campers in comments praised front-row pitches by the sea, where shade was sufficient.

Zadar police report two burglaries and one theft on August 23–24.
