In the tourism of the Republic of Croatia, camps have always played a significant role, especially those in the Istrian County. In order to maintain their place in the world’s market, camp managements should focus on their most important resource – human resources. Positive practices of human resources management in the world have existed for a long time, but the fluctuating economic situation in Croatia has led us to think that, in our country, they have not been implemented or have been implemented in a reduced form and thus are the subject of this study. The aim is to establish which human resource practices are used by camps in the County of Istria and to what extent. This paper will provide a brief historical overview, characteristics of modern camping tourism, and examples of leaders in camping tourism in the Istrian area. As shown in this study, in most camps, the main human resources management processes are carried out to some extent; however, much room for improvement has been identified, notably in the systematization of knowledge transfer. The situation is greatly aggravated by the seasonal nature of employment and the industry itself. For this reason, the theoretical factors of successful human resources management will be defined, and recommendations will be given for their improvement in camps in Istria County and throughout Croatia.
