Croatia with a caravan
Has anyone any experience of visiting the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia? We are planning to visit this area in May and would welcome any advice on visiting this attraction, (when is the best time to go, what should we make a point of seeing etc.) Afterwards we travel on to near Zadar on the coast before travelling north to Pula before returning via Italy and Austria.

I have been to Croatia a number of times but our last visit to Plitvice Lakes was in 2006. You could certainly just pay the entrance fee and do your own thing back then and I see no reason why it should have changed. Here is what I wrote in my notes:
"Plitvika National Park
This wooded, unspoilt area of crystal clear lakes and waterfalls is a World Heritage site and a visit here is a definite must for the able bodied but unfortunately it is a no go area for the less ambulant. Whilst there are good walk ways and paths in the park, steps and steep accesses make this a no go area for a wheelchair user and those with walking difficulties. However if your disability is obvious you may be allowed to visit the nearest viewpoint without charge. The 85 Kuna (£8) per person entrance fee is at first sight high for just a walk, but it includes ferry boat trips and shuttle bus rides within the park to enable thoroughly enjoyable and memorable circular walks to be made. There are two main entrances with full facilities about 5 miles away from the nearest campsite but you can park a motorhome in the car park at entrance number 1."We stayed at >Camping Korana<

Thanks for the info. it seems as if our best bet is to find a site and visit the lakes on an organised tour.
Regarding our return journey, our idea is to stop at Innesbruck, the Bodensee (lake Constance) and the Black Forest before Northern France and the ferry from Zeebrugge to Hull.
