ABOUT THE CAMPSITE
It is wonderful to linger at this farm mini-campsite nestled in the rolling, wooded landscape of the Croatian interior. The first thing you notice upon arrival at reception is the warm welcome — and this heartwarming friendliness continues throughout the entire stay.
Enjoy the views of the lush green surroundings, unwind by the pool with retractable roof, wander through the beautiful forests and savour authentic regional dishes at restaurant Petrova klet. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Zagreb and the rivers of Karlovac are all within driving distance.

We stayed as a family of four for one night only. Due to the long drive and our tiredness, we didn’t find the property easily and felt there should have been more road signs, but once wr arrived we were impressed with the area. The property we stayed in was new so everything was sparkling clean. It was inspiring to see how nicely they’d planned the storage units and the furniture so that the mobile home didn’t feel small but felt rather spacious. Two bathrooms, two bedrooms, small kitchen and dining area in the middle, as well as a sitting area. The terrace was facing raw nature and tall trees, which I loved. The surrounding nature was gorgeous, too. To top it all up, the breakfast was lovely and we left refreshed and well rested. We would definitely stay here again, despite the long drive off the motorway.
My husband and I attended a wedding in Croatia and this was the wedding venue. It's an amazing place, in the heart of nature ♥️ the rooms were great, spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The venue is great. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The food is amazing and I am very pleased that they could accommodate our dietary requirements (vegetarians). I would highly recommend this place for a lovely stay as a couple or with your friends and family. You can also host events here. Would love to come back and stay here ♥️

Good restaurant. If you are a bigger group, I recommend to order food in advance. Also if you wish to have a bit more complicated dish like for example meat under the bell, order it in advance. The same complex also offers glamping, rooms, camping spots, soccer field, swimmingpool...
A very picturesque stay with excellent food. The staff are all very friendly and approachable whilst being able to cater to all requests. Rooms are a bit small but not much time was spent in them as there are many activities and excursions to keep the days busy.
Beautiful campsite in nature. The drive there is already a lovely, special ride. We had a large tent with everything in it. We think it's a beautiful spot. Swimming pool. Restaurant with a few set menus to choose from. The supermarket is a bit of a drive, and well worth it for nice bread

Beautiful location with very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, good facilities such as breakfast, lovely small-scale camping and glamping options, and plenty to do for the kids. We were passing through, but a longer stay also seems like a great option.
