Hey C,
I haven't heard of that rule so can't comment on that but I have free camped in a few spots. In general they are pretty tourist orientated so even if someone stumbled upon you, some quick talking with a foreign accent should allow you to avoid any real problems.
Some general comments are that it's a pretty rocky coast so you do have to look around a bit, but it depends on the area. It will be off season, so it'll mostly be only locals, not the hoards of tourists as in summer. You may want to consider following the signs to the designated camping areas as they would likely be pretty quiet, some may not be open this early though and if they are, you may be able to negotiate an early season rate. Hope that helps.

Hello Cocozz,
I have never heard that wild camping is illegal in Croatia. Until you don`t block road or try to camping in someones garden everything will be OK. Try to find some place that don˙t bother anyone and have a good time. If you would need any tip or aditional info just ask.

Wild camping is illegal in Croatia, and ignorance (or being foreign) will not save you from paying a hefty fine.
However there's no shortage of rocky secluded foresty beaches where noone will notice, let alone bother you.

Thanks you all for your advices,
This is how I'll do it, if I find any secure and hided spot which doesn't bother anyone I will put my tent there at night and leave very early.

That should be no problem at all. Tourist season is still far off, although there will be some easter visitors to the most touristic spots. Aside from those, you'll have most places to yourself. I've camped during this time, and in some places even at an official campsite (on Cres island, which even had working showers), I wasn't able to find anyone who wanted to be paid.....
I'm in Piran, Slovenia; just by the northwest croatian border let me know if I can be of any help.
