Kamp Velebit is situated in a charming little village known as Baške Oštarije. That is exactly half way (20km or 20min ride) between Karlobag and Gospić. We are right by the main road.

Please don’t try to hike up here (we had that case before) because the main road with steep ascent, absence of sidewalk and exposure to the sun will make your journey miserable and even dangerous. The easiest way to reach is by car, bike or hitchhiking. The local public transportation is quite rare, and in the age of new normal, the bus schedule became even thinner. Moreover, we do not have confirmed bus schedule for the season before 1^st of June. Please contact Velebit Tours (08008885). You can try to catch a ride with us because we frequently run errands.

We are happy to enjoy a good 3G signal almost everywhere in Baške Oštarije. But depending on your hiking plans the situation with signal changes rapidly.

Closest gas stations are located in Karlobag and Gospic. You still don’t drive electric, do you? Shame on you because down in Gospic they also have a charging station for electric cars.

That’s what our place is all about. There is about 140km of hiking and biking trails around the camp. Just be responsible and do not piss off our guardian angels known as Croatian Mountain Rescue Service.

It can get really cold here even during the summer and we cannot stress this enough. Cloudy and windy weather make a huge difference in temperatures. During the summer the highest is 26 C and the lowest is 10 C. Just go with the famous Norwegian saying: “Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær!” which translates to “There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes!”

The nearest shops are located in Gospic and Karlobag – both are 20min ride away. Most of our guests combine shopping with their daily trips to beaches in Karlobag. In Gospic you can find large supermarkets such as Lidl, Plodine and Konzum. However, there is a dairy shop 1km away from us with milk, yogurt and different sorts of cheese made by local cows. Be sure to taste ‘Basa’ (a cheese spread), Lički Škripavac (Lika’s Squizzing Cheese named because it creates squeezing sound when you chew it) and their famous Stracciatella Yogurt! They are all delicious.

Not for now. However, there is a restaurant 1km away from us as a part of the hostel Baske Ostarije. They offer some great local dishes at affordable prices.

Yes, we do but the connection is rather shitty and unreliable. Max speed is 20Mbps. During thunderstorms we are forced to shut down router because lightning always burns it and then we have to wait technicians or post delivery for days. Also keep in mind that WiFi signal does not reach every corner of the camp but this depends on your device. In case you are a digital nomad, we can provide you with personal WiFi connection based on 3G signal rather than landlines which is more reliable for your work. Overall, the best connection up here is the one you do with nature, trees, flowers, wildlife and your inner-self.

We have both indoor and outdoor kitchen equipped with cookers and basic utensils, pots, pans etc.

Our water is perfectly drinkable – it is almost like a spring water because we are first on the supply line.

Yes, there are a couple of refrigerators available for your convenience free of charge.

Yes, we have both Wash&Dry service available for 5€ each but you can also hang-dry on your own using fresh mountain air.

Inside of each glamping unit pillows, warm duvets and bed linen are included in price. We do recommend that you do bring your own sleeping bag just in case you get cold easily. 

Yes of course, we have designated area for camping fire and BBQ. Sometimes we provide wood for burning, sometimes guests pick up wood in surrounding forests but we also have an option to purchase wood for this purpose. Same works for BBQ coal.

It all depends on the prevailing and dominant cultural and ethnic background of guests which currently reside at the camp. Balkanians (a.k.a. local species) and species of eastern Europeans including most Mediterraneans are known to be louder than than western Europeans. They often engage in what is known as late night socializing and sometimes they use different instruments and their voices to create music which is boosted by magical drinks such as Travarica, Shlyivovitza, Medica etc. We try to balance things out by enforcing curfew as a part of our ‘Camping Etiquette’ which begins at 23:00. We also risk our life by doing so on a daily basis. Check this out.  

Yes as long as you don’t puff smoke into other people’s face you may smoke herbs. However it is forbidden inside of facilities. 

Yes we love dogs and all animals whatsoever  Your first dog gets to stay for free because we think it is ridiculous that camps charge for one dog! They are also allowed to sleep with you inside of our glamping facilities (Crobbit Houses, Bungallows and Canvas Tents). However, as an owner you are responsible for controling your pet, keep them leashed while at the premise (unless you are playing) and cleaning up after them. Remember that children play where dogs play so cleaning is mandatory, Check this out.

That’s what we are all about. Please check out this section to find out more information.
