Fancy a Croatian holiday where the Adriatic is practically your front garden and the children have enough activities to fill a fortnight? Camping Park Umag is exactly that sort of place. Stretching across a huge coastal estate between Umag and Novigrad, this four-star family campsite combines direct sea access with an impressive choice of pools, sports, entertainment and accommodation.
The water department deserves its own headline. Two pool complexes together provide more than 1,700m² of water, including a 1,163m² activity pool, children's pools with slides and water attractions, a pirate ship and a covered baby pool. Add a long Adriatic waterfront with pebble, rock and paved bathing areas, and water babies are unlikely to complain.
What about keeping active? Tennis, beach volleyball, football, basketball, cycling, fitness and an extensive watersports centre cover the energetic side, while restaurants, pizzerias, beach bars, a supermarket, bakery and Istrian market make daily life remarkably easy.
Families with children up to about 12 will find an especially strong combination of shallow pools, playgrounds, clubs and animation, while teenagers get watersports, sports and plenty of freedom to roam. Adults, meanwhile, have the Adriatic, local wine country and historic Istrian towns.
And the clever bit? You can spend breakfast beside the sea, lunch around the pool and dinner in medieval Novigrad.

Tip from our team
Camping Park Umag is enormous, so my first piece of advice is simple: choose your location as carefully as your accommodation. The Canova area puts you close to the newer pool complex, beach and children's facilities, while the Central Area is particularly convenient for restaurants, sports and reception. If you are travelling with toddlers or a buggy, proximity can make a surprisingly big difference. Current guest feedback frequently mentions the size of the campsite and the walking distances between different facilities. If you prefer peace and quiet, I would avoid choosing a pitch immediately beside the evening entertainment area or the road behind the campsite. Guests have specifically mentioned evening music and traffic noise, particularly in some of the rear accommodation areas. For families, Canova is a particularly attractive choice because the pool, beach and children's facilities sit close together. The newer pool complex gives younger swimmers a dedicated area, while the covered baby pool is a useful option when little ones need gentler water play. Don't rely on the campsite supermarket for your entire holiday shop. It is wonderfully convenient for bread, drinks and essentials, but larger supermarkets around Umag and Novigrad can be better for a substantial grocery run. Finally, bring bicycles if you can. The coastal area around Karigador, Umag and Novigrad is excellent for cycling, and it is a much more enjoyable way to explore nearby villages than moving the car every day.

No longer recommended with a dog“Hello, we spent 2 weeks in Umag as a group of 5 + dog. In general, everything was fine, but what is absolutely unacceptable is only having 1 key for 5 people. Furthermore, the air conditioning does not work without the key inserted. With a dog and these temperatures, that is an absolute outrage, since you cannot take the dog everywhere and the mobile home heats up extremely quickly. Last year, strangely enough, that was not a problem with the 2. Key. This year we were forced to always leave the home unlocked even when we went shopping. It is just strange that all other providers do not handle it that way.”
