When Guests Choose, Camping Bijela Uvala Wins
At the very start of the new season, the Istra Camping brand and Camping Bijela Uvala received a major international recognition — the ACSI Award 2026 for Best Campsite in Croatia. What makes this award especially meaningful is the fact that it comes directly from guests themselves: campers from across Europe who voted for their favourite campsites based on their holiday experiences over the past year.
For Istra Camping and Plava Laguna, this recognition confirms that quality, continuous investment and an authentic holiday experience in Istria remain exactly what guests value most.
A Campsite That Grows with Its Guests
Camping Bijela Uvala has long been one of the most beloved camping destinations in Istria. Located on a peninsula just five kilometres south of Poreč, the campsite is surrounded by Mediterranean pine forest and set along a two-kilometre coastline of white pebble beaches that inspired its name.
For years, it has combined everything families appreciate most: proximity to the sea, spacious shaded pitches, three swimming pool complexes, diverse gastronomy and a rich programme of activities for all generations. What makes Bijela Uvala stand out even more is the way the campsite continuously evolves together with its guests, following modern camping trends and the needs of families looking for greater comfort, privacy and high-quality amenities during their stay.
In recent seasons, the campsite has undergone significant upgrades, including renovated sanitary facilities, modernised communal areas and new spaces designed for activities and relaxation. Among the latest investments are the attractive pool complex with the Vista Mare restaurant, the expanded Activities & Experience centre, the Play, Eat & Chill zone for the whole family, and innovative pitches with private sanitary facilities that provide guests with an additional level of comfort and privacy.
The development continues in the 2026 season with the upgraded Punta Calma zone featuring 146 pitches, including 20 premium pitches with private bathrooms, as well as additional renovated sanitary facilities — all designed to offer even more comfort during the stay.
Camping Bijela Uvala offers exactly what modern campers are looking for: the freedom of staying in nature combined with a high level of service, excellent facilities and an authentic holiday experience in Istria.

The ACSI Awards are considered among the most prestigious recognitions in the European camping industry. Presented by ACSI, Europe’s leading camping authority and publisher of renowned camping guides, the awards are based on votes from nearly 100,000 campers across Europe, making them a true reflection of guest satisfaction and quality.
Alongside Camping Bijela Uvala, which was named Best Campsite in Croatia, two more campsites from the Istra Camping portfolio were also recognised this year. Camping Park Umag received the award for Best Campsite Location in Croatia, while Camping Zelena Laguna was included among the Top 25 Campsites in Croatia.
These recognitions once again confirm that Istra Camping offers exactly what today’s guests are looking for — premium camping holidays in Istria and Croatia, recognised and valued by campers from across Europe.
