This is a large state run campsite in the woods, just 8Km from the Plitvice National Park. Arrival is through an entrance where you drive up to a window to check in (they hold your passports but it is a secure building). Pitches are very fluid and it tends to be a case of finding a piece of reasonably level ground close enough to an electric point. There was lots of space when we were there (in May). There is also a large “car park” hardstanding area where quite a few units were parked.
Free WiFi but the signal doesn’t get to all parts of the site. Large central washrooms which are modern and regularly cleaned.
The big attraction of this site is that it is close to Plitvice National Park, and they run a daily courtesy shuttle bus from the site (09:00) to the Park with a return at 17:00. This takes less than 10 minutes. The park is absolutely stunning and well worth the drive there.
The site has a drive-by reception at the entrance, which was a bit off-putting as there was no opportunity to pick up any information leaflets. However, we later discovered there is a large, well-equipped reception/tourist information office further inside the camp site, near the bar. It has plenty of information about visiting the lakes, and also serves as a wifi hotspot, with tables and seating. (Wifi is not widely available across the whole site. )
As the previous review says, the site is huge. In fact it's more like a country park than a camp site, very undulating, with lots of trees, and very attractive. We were there in May so only part of the site, and one toilet block, was open. The concrete areas mentioned in the previous review are large enough for about half a dozen units, depending on their size. There are no numbers or markings in these areas and we found that people tended to squeeze in, meaning it got rather cramped.
The toilet block was very good, with toilet paper, soap and paper towels at the washbasins, and good hot showers, although there wasn't much hanging or changing space. There are washing-up sinks on the way in to both the men's and women's - we wondered which one to use if we both went over together to wash up!
As well as the restaurant, the burger bar and the cafe/bar were open. The latter is another useful place to access wifi in pleasant surroundings. The drinks were very reasonably priced.
It's not an ACSI site and is quite expensive, but that's to be expected in such a popular tourist area.
We had decided to stay at Camping Borje which is at the other side of the National Park but changed our minds after seeing both locations and deciding that the area around Camping Korana was much prettier in Spring, plus there are 2 or 3 restaurants and a small supermarket nearby.
The site is very large and very hilly. Whilst we were there every campervan and caravan was parked on the concrete areas of which there were several. I would have found it difficult if not impossible to find a grass pitch on to which I could manoeuvre and level the caravan. There are plenty of electrical supply bollards supplying 16 amps but fresh water taps are few and far between. On the whole the site staff were friendly and spoke good English. There are 3 toilet blocks but only one was open in early April and you could have a long walk to any of them from some pitches. We found the toilet block to be modern, well fitted out and clean with plenty of hot water. Washing machines were available. There is a restaurant, café, bar and shop on site, although only the shop and restaurant were open when we visited. There is a bus that leaves at 9. 00am each day for the Plitvice Lakes National Park or you can make the 10 min drive yourself. Parking costs 7Kn an hour. Park admission is 110 Kn each (£11. 00) which includes all bus and boat transport within the park.
Given the number of tables and chairs around the bar and restaurant we got the impression that this site could be extremely busy during the high season. We found the site to be well managed, well maintained and very clean and peaceful. Happy to recommend.
