Why Choose Pag for Camping?


Pag is one of the sunniest islands in Croatia, with over 250 sunny days per year, making it an ideal destination for outdoor living. Summer temperatures range between 25 and 32 °C, while the sea reaches a pleasant 23–25 °C. In addition to the high season, the island is particularly attractive in spring and early autumn when the weather remains warm, but the beaches and attractions are less crowded.

The island is known for its indented coastline, long pebble and sandy beaches, hidden coves, and crystal-clear sea. The beaches range from spacious shores ideal for families to intimate spots accessible only on foot or by boat. The sea is rich in underwater life, making it perfect for snorkeling and diving.

On the other side of the island lies the historic town of Pag, where narrow streets, Renaissance palaces, and lace-making workshops offer a glimpse into the island’s heritage. A visit to the Pag Lace Gallery — listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage — is especially noteworthy. History enthusiasts will appreciate the remnants of the old salt pans and the ancient Roman aqueduct Talijanova buža, while gourmets will enjoy tasting local specialties like Pag cheese, lamb, and sage-based desserts.


What truly sets Pag apart is the unique blend of unspoiled nature and modern amenities. Whether you're looking for a secluded cove or a more lively location near town centers, the island offers well-equipped campsites, shops, restaurants, and various facilities for both children and adults. Every visitor can find their perfect vacation rhythm here.

Pag boasts over 120 kilometers of marked cycling and hiking trails, running through unspoiled nature and offering unforgettable views of the sea and the island’s interior. The cycling routes, of varying difficulty, lead you through the Lun Olive Groves — home to more than 80,000 trees, some over 1,500 years old — all the way to the Kolan Plateau, known for its dry-stone walls and traditional pastures.

Water Sports

 

The sea around Pag is ideal for water sports enthusiasts. Stand-up paddling (SUP) is increasingly popular as it allows for gentle exploration of the coastline and secluded coves. Rental prices are around €10–€15 per hour, while guided tours with an instructor start at €30. Kayaks are another great option for family outings in calm bays, with full-day rentals costing €20–€25.

Underwater enthusiasts can enjoy diving and snorkeling at attractive spots like the Stogaj rock near Metajna or the underwater caves around Karlobašići. A guided diving excursion with equipment and instructor costs €50–€70, and it’s recommended to book in advance during summer months.

Thanks to the bora wind and open sea, Pag is also a top destination for adrenaline sports like kite surfing and windsurfing. The best spots are located near Kolan and Ručica Beach.



Discover the Flavors of Pag


Pag Island is a true paradise for food lovers. The world-renowned Pag cheese is made from the milk of local sheep that graze on aromatic herbs enriched by sea salt. A visit to the Gligora or MIH cheese dairies in Kolan is an unforgettable experience. During the tour, you can see the entire cheese-making process and take part in tastings of various types — from fresh to aged cheeses. Tasting menus with prosciutto and a glass of wine range from €15–€20 per person.


In addition to cheese, Pag lamb is a must-try — traditionally prepared under the bell (ispod peke) or on a spit. The best places to taste it are the local taverns in Kolan, Novalja, or the town of Pag itself. Wine lovers can visit small island wineries and sample the local Gegić variety, with sunset wine tastings priced at around €15 per person.


Exploring Hidden Coves and Beaches by Boat


One of the most beautiful ways to explore Pag is from the sea. The island boasts a highly indented coastline with hundreds of coves, beaches, and cliffs that can only be discovered by boat. Organized full-day boat trips cost between €30–€50 per person and often include lunch and swimming stops in crystal-clear bays.


Private boat or speedboat rentals (without a skipper) range from €100–€200 per day, while skippered rides cost from €200–€300, depending on boat size and season. Popular destinations include Ručica Bay near Metajna, Beritnica Beach known for its three sea monoliths, and trips to Kornati National Park, just under an hour away by boat. A sunset cruise through the Pag Channel, when the sea turns golden-orange, is a truly unforgettable experience.

 

 

Additional Attractions and Cultural Heritage


The historic town of Pag, with its narrow stone streets and Renaissance palaces, is a perfect place for a stroll and discovering the island's rich history. A special experience is visiting the Pag lace workshops, with this unique tradition included on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.


Don’t miss the Lun Olive Groves, a living natural monument with some of the world’s oldest olive trees, many over a thousand years old. Entrance fees range from €5–€7, and guided tours are available to help you explore the most beautiful parts of the groves and learn about their fascinating history. Nature lovers will also enjoy trips to Velebit National Park or the nearby Kornati islands, offering breathtaking panoramas unlike anywhere else.

 

 

Practical Tips for Camping on Pag


While Terra Park Phalaris and SpiritoS camps offer all essential amenities, it’s a good idea to come prepared for maximum comfort. If you’re camping on pitches, be sure to bring a tent, sleeping mats or air mattresses, sleeping bags, foldable chairs and a table for outdoor use. Don’t forget extension cords and adapters for the campsite hookups, as well as pillows, towels, and extra blankets if you’re visiting outside the summer season.


Pag is one of the sunniest islands in Croatia, so bring high-SPF sunscreen, a hat, and light, breathable clothing. For outdoor activities, sports shoes and sandals are recommended, and for exploring the beaches, water shoes will come in handy.



One of the biggest attractions of camping on Pag Island is the proximity to unspoiled nature, making it essential to follow environmental protection guidelines. Open fires are strictly prohibited in campsites due to the high risk of wildfires.


Waste must be sorted into designated bins, and minimal plastic use is recommended. When exploring nature outside the campsite, make sure to leave no trace. Do not pick protected plants or disturb wildlife. If you're cycling or hiking, stay on marked trails to preserve the island’s fragile ecosystem.



Camping with Extra Comfort: Mobile Homes


While camping traditionally means staying in a tent, more and more travelers want to experience nature without giving up modern comforts. Mobile homes are the perfect option for this type of holiday, combining the freedom of the camping lifestyle with the convenience of a fully equipped home.


Staying in a mobile home offers numerous benefits, especially for families or those planning a longer vacation. These homes are spacious and come with fully equipped kitchens and private bathrooms, meaning you don’t need to share facilities with other guests. Covered terraces are ideal for open-air dining, and the privacy is significantly greater than in shared campsite areas.


Many mobile homes, such as those in Terra Park Phalaris and SpiritoS, feature private heated pools and large sun decks, offering the perfect solution for days when you want to relax in peace, without heading to the beach. With air conditioning, satellite TV, and Wi-Fi, your stay will be comfortable at any time of day. Spacious bedrooms and living rooms are tailored to families with children. For those seeking to fully immerse themselves in the camping atmosphere — without compromising on comfort — this is the ideal choice.

Both Terra Park campsites are pet-friendly, offering everything your pets need to feel at home. Designated dog beaches allow pets to freely enjoy the sea, and facilities include pet showers and walking trails. Some pitches and mobile homes are located in quieter zones, ensuring privacy for pet owners and their companions.



Pets are also welcome in mobile homes, making your stay more convenient as you don’t have to part from your four-legged companions. For your pet’s safety and comfort, it's recommended to bring basic equipment such as food and water bowls and a comfortable bed — although the campsites also offer the option to borrow pet gear.
