Campers cut short Croatia holiday despite campsite's advantages

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.
