Camping Vestar Rovinj
A well-rated campsite on a wooded peninsula south of Rovinj with direct sea access, mobile homes and pitches for tents and campers. A great value base for exploring Rovinj.
Camping Vestar is a wooded campsite operated by Maistra, one of Istria's principal hospitality groups, situated on a forested peninsula approximately four kilometres south of Rovinj's old town in the Istria region of Croatia. The site is named for the Vestar bay and occupies a landscape of dense Aleppo pines that descend to a rocky and pebble shoreline with direct access to the Adriatic. Its position in the sheltered waters of the Rovinj archipelago gives the site a tranquil, secluded atmosphere despite being within easy reach of Rovinj town by local bus, bicycle path, or boat.
The campsite accommodates a range of accommodation types: standard pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes with electrical hook-up options, alongside a selection of mobile homes for those preferring a ready-made structure without camping equipment. The mobile homes range from basic summer units to larger family configurations with separate bedrooms and covered terraces.
Facilities on-site are comprehensive for a Maistra-managed property and include a restaurant with terrace, a small supermarket for everyday essentials, shower and sanitation blocks maintained to a good standard, and a children's playground. The beach areas directly accessible from the site include a mix of rocky and pebble platforms, with shallow entry points well-suited for families with younger children. Beach volleyball courts and water sports hire are available for more active guests.
Rovinj's old town, with its medieval harbour, galleries, restaurants, and the Church of Saint Euphemia, is reachable in around 20 minutes on foot via the coastal path, by local bus from the stop near the campsite entrance, or by hire bicycle. Rovinj is regularly rated among Croatia's most picturesque towns, and camping at Vestar combines the natural setting of the forested Adriatic coast with easy access to the town's cultural and culinary life.
At around 25 EUR per pitch per night in peak season, with mobile home rental priced higher depending on configuration, Camping Vestar offers value-oriented accommodation on a well-maintained stretch of the Istrian coastline.
