Out of all the 21 we are going to be visiting Croatia has to be the at the top of my list of destinations I’m am most excited for. So day 2 and 3 we are staying in Camp Solitudo, which is around 10 minutes away from Old Town Dubrovnik were Kings Landing from Game Of Thrones is filmed.
Upon arrival to the camp it was clear that the season is not yes in full swing, something I really do not mind at all. There were s handful of guests scattered around the site and everyone just seemed so calm and relaxed. The camp had that feel throughout.
We were given a nice secluded spot at the edge of the site that overlooked the sea and the bridge. One thing that struck me about this part of the world is just how many islands that are dotted about with houses on them. The dinghy trade must be a tent pole of the local economy. The views from all round the site are fantastic.
The 3 star sire has access to a beach as well as the neighbouring hotel’s pool facilities. The site is quite large and accommodates all forms of touring and static accommodation. Over the 2 nights I slept in both touring and static homes. The static 4 berths are a new addition to the site are a absolutely perfect. It came fully knitted out with everything you need from a kettle all the way to a coffee machine. Ideal for groups who may not all have caravans or motorhomes. Out that front you have a table with 6 chairs, 2 sun lounger and a small child’s rocking horse.
The onsite facilities are very very good. The laundry machines are all top of tor lime Miele machines and there are plenty of them. The young lady at the front desk was by far that friendliest and most helpful person I’ve come across this trip.
Since the launch of Game of Thrones the tourist traffic has grown phenomenally. There is so much to do as see in the area before you been got to Old Town. Once you’re in there make sure you have your camera ready. If you are a fan of the hit tv show then Old Town is for you. There are gift shops and tours to take yet it’s not over the top. If you hadn’t seen the show you would not know that this is a key filming locations as they have very much maintained the towns independents from the show.
Camp Solitudo is the only camp site in Dubrovnik. With its Mediterranean greenery and, sports facilities and onsite restaurant this is an ideal location for anyone travelling to Dubrovnik.
