A Beginner's Guide to Camping (in Zaton)

Run a marathon, learn to play an instrument, go sky diving or snorkeling, possibly even scuba diving. And don’t forget to add camping to your bucket list, in case you haven’t done it already. Just decide & do! Because camping can be easy, and it represents a type of holiday you want to repeat over and over again. So, all you have to do is start and here’s how:

1. Pick the right campsite

Not in the wild, but in nature. Not in a city, but with simple access to things that make a holiday easy. In three words, Zaton Holiday Resort.

2. Decide on your camping style

A simple tent just enough to sleep in? A large camping tent or a camper with a porch? Think of the people you’re with and how you wish to spend your days on holiday.

If you go with a tent, practice pitching it in your garden, to learn the skill and to have a fun camping experiment. Decided to choose a camper instead? Then don’t worry about hookups - at Zaton Holiday Resort you get all you need to feel at home.

3. Choose the right sleeping item

Oh yes, a hammock between two trees makes the perfect image of camping. Just don’t forget to take care of the essentials as well - the right sleeping bag or (air) mattress.

4. Make a list of absolute musts

List it! In other words, make a list of everything you can’t do without. From towels and cloths, first aid kit to board games to keep the family entertained. In case you forget anything, you can buy it on the spot.

5. Check sanitary facilities at the campsite

Don’t consider buying portable showers or washing machines for staying clean and neat. Campsites like Zaton Holiday Resort have excellent, modern facilities with access for people with disabilities, family bathrooms, laundry area, as well as showers for your pets.

6. Check the weather

Bora wind might cause some difficulties, more so in off season. A camper might have some trouble arriving, while a tent could go wild if bora decided to show its teeth. But it’s just a tiny possibility, not something to count on definitely.

7. Make a meal plan, or don’t

A breakfast out in the open, a dinner under a starry sky. It all sounds lovely, but how to prepare it? You needn’t worry, because Zaton Holiday Resort does not only offer you a modern place to cook & grill and the option to get a fridge box, but you can also choose half-board, which means you have your meals without having to worry about the food, tableware or doing the dishes afterwards.

Dare to camp

Do it to spend quality time with family, friends and pets. Do it to disconnect from everyday worries and reconnect with nature. Do it for the adventure and the starry sky at night. Do it at Zaton Holiday Resort because it’s a fabulous place to start, and always go back to for more.
