The Plitvice Lakes Region provides a selection of affordable guesthouses and one prominent hostel, catering to budget travelers seeking comfortable stays with opportunities for interaction, amidst its nature-focused environment.

Situated in Korenica, a short drive from the park, this hostel truly stands out. It offers a clean, comfortable, and homely atmosphere, with spacious dorms and large, private bathrooms. The staff are notably friendly and helpful, often organizing activities like sunset hikes and shuttle services to the national park, which creates a good environment for meeting fellow travelers. The well-stocked kitchen and outdoor patio are inviting spaces to relax and socialize.

Found in a rural setting in Mukinje, this guesthouse offers a quiet escape close to the national park. It provides good value for a comfortable stay, featuring clean rooms and Wi-Fi.
