Particularly, in tourist areas, on the coast, and in national parks, the ban on wild camping is regularly enforced. In the worst case, penalties of up to 400 € can be imposed. In contrast to other countries, camping on private property is also forbidden.
Especially inland, away from tourist areas, the ban is not strictly controlled. The residents and police often turn a blind eye, and tolerate camping for one night or ask you to leave the area, without a fine.
If you want to camp inland, you should be very careful, as there are still areas with unexploded mines. This is especially true for:

Traveling with dog
If you want to enter Croatia with your faithful companion you should pay attention to a few things
Parking
Most parking spaces are subject to charges, even if some of them are badly signposted and therefore difficult to recognize. You should also keep your pay and display ticket. In the last few years, despite paid fees, parking tickets have often been issued after the journey. The pay and display ticket may save you from paying a fine.
Payment
In the cities, it is no problem to pay with a credit card, but in the rural areas, it looks a bit different again. So you should always have some cash with you when you travel. In Croatia, you pay with Kuna and not Euro. It is best to change your money in Croatia, as the exchange rate is usually better.
By the way: According to a study by the ADAC, Croatia ranks fifth among the cheapest camping countries in Europe. Two adults with one child pay an average of 39.60 € here for an overnight stay on a campsite, including pitch and ancillary costs.
