Reason 1: A mild and healthy climate

Spring or autumn camping in Croatia, particularly on Cres and Lošinj, doesn't have to mean sheltering in your tent from the cold. In fact, its quite the opposite! Lošinj in particular is well known for its mild and healthy climate, a climate that is ackowledged to positively help with respiratory problems. Be it Cres or Lošinj that takes your fancy for a spring or autumn camping break, you won't be cold.

... its warm in Cres in the spring and the autumn

Cres is known for its mild climate with an average air temperature during May a pleasant 19 degrees Celsius, climbing to 21 degrees in September, with October a little colder at 16 degrees. The average sea temperature in May is around 17 degrees climbing to a respectable 20 degrees towards the end of the month, with the September average coming in at 22 degrees and October at 19 degrees - meaning that on average, in autumn its warmer in the sea than out of it, so go take a warm bath while you are camping in Cres!

... and its warmer in Losinj, particularly in September

Losinj also has a mild climate with May averaging 18 degrees (air temperature), September typically brings an average of 20.5 degrees and October just under 17 degrees.
