This page is a practical planning overview, not legal advice. Wild camping legality can change by land manager, municipality, protected-area status, and season.
Always verify current official guidance for your exact overnight location before you pitch a tent.

| Destination | Trekkers' tent-overnight category | Practical rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|
| Croatia | Amber-like: conditional and stronger in protected/coastal areas | Use designated options where possible and verify local restrictions. |
Planning guidance
Croatia is usually best treated as conditional for overnight camping, with stronger restrictions in protected coastal/mountain landscapes and settlement-adjacent zones.
Common practical limits:
- National parks and nature parks can require designated camping infrastructure or apply no-camping zones.
- Coastal and island municipalities may enforce stricter anti-informal-camping rules in high-pressure areas.
- Private and agricultural land generally requires permission.
Useful detail for planning:
- Routes crossing inland and Adriatic sectors can face different local enforcement patterns.
- Fire-season controls can materially change what is acceptable overnight.
Planning takeaway: In Croatia, default to designated camps or clearly authorized overnight points and validate each municipality/protected-area rule.

Gabon wild camping rules
Wild camping in Gabon is mixed and area-dependent. Some remote forest and coastal regions may permit low-impact camping with guide and local permission; protected areas typically require lodge or operator coordination. Dense rainforest, limited trail infrastructure, and sparse population in remote zones require experienced guide support for safe overnight tenting. Land tenure and access permissions are essential.
