Camping Pod Velebit Baške Oštarije
Established Campground
Sits in a valley clearing surrounded by beech and fir forest at 900m elevation. Basic facilities include clean toilets, drinking water from a mountain spring, and scattered fire rings among the trees. Gets busy with Croatian families on summer weekends, but weekdays are quiet. No hookups or showers — this is mountain camping, not glamping.
Access via decent gravel road from Baške Oštarije village. Open May through October, though spring can be muddy. The nearby Premužić Trail offers some of Croatia’s best mountain driving through Velebit National Park.
