    It was a very clean campground. Our Istrian Home 4+2 mobile home was a good size, and the amenities were satisfactory overall. A hair dryer and more comfortable/higher-quality beds would have rounded out the experience perfectly—or, given the price, should definitely have been included.
    The pool was easy to get to, but unfortunately, you couldn’t just pop out to take a quick look at the sea. Because of the terraced layout, the path to the beach was very steep. It was really exhausting with kids and a stroller.
    Without a bike or something similar, the distances on the large campground are very long.

    The pool area leaves nothing to be desired—it’s a highlight for all the kids, with a pirate ship and lots of slides. The pool was clean and there was plenty of space.

    I can’t really comment on the on-site restaurants, since we always ate out. About a 5-minute drive away in Tar, you’ll find many nice, affordable, and very good restaurants (Kiwi, Lanterna Green, etc.).

    Es war ein sehr sauberer Campingplatz. Unser Mobilhome Istrian Home 4+2 hatte eine gute Größe, Ausstattung war soweit auch zufriedenstellend. Ein Föhn und bequemere/hochwertigere Betten hätten das Ganze perfekt abgerundet bzw wäre für den Preis definitiv Voraussetzung gewesen.
    Der Pool war gut zu erreichen aber mal kurz zum Meer schauen leider nicht drinnen. Wegen der angelegten Terrassen hatten wir einen sehr steilen Weg zum Strand. Mit Kinder und Bollergwagen echt anstrengend.
    Ohne Fahrrad oä sind die Wege auf dem großen Campingplatz sehr lang.

    Die Poollandschaft lässt keine Wünsche offen, das Highlight für alle Kinder mit Piratenschiff und vielen Rutschen. Pool war sauber und ausreichend Platz.

    Restaurants am Platz kann ich nicht wirklich bewerten, da wir immer auswärts Essen waren. In ca 5 Autominuten findet man in Tar viele nette, preiswerte und sehr gute Restaurants (Kiwi, Lanterna Green usw.)
