Nothing planned, nothing booked - island hopping begins in beautiful Croatia 🇭🇷

Summer Tour Episode 3. We all hear about Croatia 🇭🇷 and it’s somewhere we always wanted to visit…is it as beautiful as people say and is it fun to take your campervan there? Can you free-camp ok? Are the campsites any good? When we packed our Ford Nugget Campervan for an adventure (episode 1) we knew we were going to Croatia but we didn’t know where, or where it would eventually lead us to! Subscribe to make sure you don’t miss an episode of our awesome summer tour! Many more episodes on the way!
This is the third episode of our multipart Summer Tour series and we certainly did not plan on going where we ended up, or do what we thought we might do!
Thanks for watching and following our fun family adventures with our campervan!
We are Jordan, Jo, Holly, Izzy and Poppy, the calicamperfamily. Our current van is a 2022 Ford Nugget Plus. It is a 5 seater and sleeps all 5 of us too.
We are British and live and work permanently in Northern Italy alongside Lago Maggiore, near the Alps and not far away from Milan.
Tell us what you think by commenting and we try and answer everyone.

Sorry for the wind noise in the earlier part of this video folks. It was incredibly windy and it seemed to catch the microphone on my IPhone much more than usual. And then, we get the crickets 🤦🏻‍♂️. I hope you can still enjoy it! Thanks for watching!

Please let Holly know that we hit the like button! ❤

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Haha, she will appreciate that a lot…especially after her persistence in our videos (and quite a few ‘hit the like button’ moments have been edited out!). Thanks for giving Holly a mention 👍

Beautiful video again. Just a side note. Nin is not an island but a peninsula ;)

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😎👍

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Clever idea wit( the loo but if I tried it I’m sure I would spill it everywhere. Take care Gill

[@CaliCamperFamily]

😂that was my worry too!!! However, it worked a treat and saved wheeling it a looooong way. Best wishes from us all!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

Very enjoyable series 💙 The ferry crossing looked popular, would love to do that. Impressed that your children love touring in your Nugget 🚐 Trev n Sue

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Hi Trev and Sue! Thanks for the comment and yes, the kids are used to it by now!!! They do do well. Glad you are liking the series as I reckon on at least 5 or 6 episodes at this rate! Just checked out your channel (and Smurf, of course!) and subbed 👍🏻. Thanks for finding us!

[@minivandokker4freelife]

love your video...simple but essential to communicate vibes .✌️✌️✌️🇮🇹

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Many thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻✌️

[@frenchboy2005-mp1ui]

This trip keeps getting better and better! I am looking forward to your anniversary day out. Cheers.

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Haha, thanks! This campervan trip is definitely one to remember! Thanks for watching and the anniversary day is awesome…😃🚤👍🏻

[@vikrantnikumbh]

I've been waiting for this video for a long time... Amazing video and family trip! Sending love from India to the adorable family... and happy anniversary to both of you.

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Thank you for the anniversary wishes all the way from India! Glad you are enjoying our videos! Best wishes from Italy 🇮🇹

[@bripiry]

Still haven’t gotten around to broaching the subject of “buying a Campervan” with my wife. I think I’m just afraid 😊. I love your videos, the excitement and adventures, the happy family. Happy anniversary from Ireland 🇮🇪, Brian

[@frenchboy2005-mp1ui]

Have you ever rented one for a holiday? Best way to convince your wife.

[@bripiry]

@@frenchboy2005-mp1ui in fact we did rent a California for 3 weeks June 2022, we both loved it. Unfortunately a VW beach with some necessary extras is €72,000, and there is the problem 😐

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Hi Brian…a lovely comment about our videos, thank you. I hope you find the right moment soon to broach the subject! It’s tricky sometimes 😄. Maybe I should create a video called “how to convince your partner that a campervan would be awesome!”…I might just do that! (Especially as, Brian, you are certainly not the first subscriber to send me a message about this!). Let me know how you get on! Good luck🤞🏻

[@CaliCamperFamily]

@frenchboy2005-mp1ui A good idea, and the hope is that they enjoy it! 🥴😳😖🤞🏻😱😬….it is difficult if one person really sees the fun and adventure in it, and the other doesn’t! A friend of mine rented a California for a week and ended up parked on a friends drive whilst his wife slept in their friends house 🫣😯

[@CaliCamperFamily]

@brpiry yes, it is not a cheap hobby to get going with, especially if you want something fairly recent or new. But maybe the justification can come from using it as an everyday 2nd car? I hope you can do it, Brian 👍

[@grahamhooton3904]

Ha Ha just realised it was Croatian Kruna £23 bargain

[@CaliCamperFamily]

…but it was a realistic price on this occasion, just a big queue to get on!

[@grahamhooton3904]

Did you say €208 for a 10 min ferry , surely not ?

[@CaliCamperFamily]

Wouldn’t surprise me these days!!
