Plitvice- where to stay to beat the crowds

[Goldfinchtriad]

So we are planning to visit Plitvice in August. We know it’s likely to be busy so plan to stay overnight and then walk in as soon as it opens in the morning before the crowds. Can anyone recommend somewhere locally to stay so that we can achieve this? Thanks

We had stayed at guest house green valley. It was close, clean and looked nice. Unfortunately we arrived late at night because of a flight delay and left early the next morning to beat the crowds but we liked what we saw.

Thank you for your message. We are looking at Rustic Lodge as it has good trip adviser reviews
