Camping tourism is a very important part of the world tourism industry. Following the continuous work of everyone involved, investments, competition, and innovation, the camping industry is constantly developing and changing. This development led the world back to basics - of course, with a lot of new and exciting activities in between - because with their minimal impact on the environment, campsites contribute to the sustainable development of every destination. In the last two years, since COVID-19 pandemic appeared, the world economy, and especially the tourism sector, has experienced a big financial fall. Nevertheless, the popularity of the campsites grew during this period. Campsites were able to answer to every tourist request: by maintaining a safe distance, staying outdoors, having minimal contact with other guests, setting clear rules of behavior inside the campsite, use of disinfection machines. The campsites thus, unplanned, became champions of tourism. In Croatia, as in the rest of Europe, this has led to the development of different mobile applications, innovative services, and reflection on the future. Mobile applications have a chance to become an added value for a tourist destination. To further increase competitiveness in Croatia, cooperation between the private and public sectors at all levels is necessary. In addition, there are still ongoing problems regarding the complicated laws and their frequent change, seasonality, labor shortage in tourism, excessive building, and climate change. This is a perfect opportunity for the longer-term and more detailed tourism strategies to be adopted.
