Camping Village Parco della Gallinara

jeremy b6 years ago

This is a large camp site in natural woodland, do not be concerned about the size as there is lots of space so it does not feel crowded. The touring area is close to a lovely sandy beach and there is plenty of space for a caravan, camper or tent (our unit is a 7m caravan and we had no issues getting it sited). There is a good covering of trees with plenty of shade, pitches are not marked out but there is so much space you will not feel crowded In. The area is well serviced by water points so no need to transport water any great distance. The toilet block is new and very clean, staff are helpful, security is good and English is spoken. The campsite has a well stocked supermarket and plenty of entertainment throughout the week.||Just off the site there is the beach, it is wide, free, sandy and not too crowded, we watched to sun go down on many evenings from the local beach bars that are worth a visit.||In terms of access to the site the roads in this area are a bit rough, but they are wide and flat so the approach to the site is easy.||Rome is accessible at 20 miles and Ostia Antica is worth a visit, it is the ruins of a large Roman Port, (the site is pretty big so allow 3 hours to get around it.||Considerations:|1. This is natural woodland and the ant population is vast, clever and persistant, you MUST have nt powder otherwise you wil be living with a large colony of insects. Once you have created your chalky white barrier, peace is restored and the ants will remain on their side of the line, feeding a few sugery scraps will divert their attention a little.|2. the showers require a token that costs 50 cents per shower, this is disappointing for a modern site and I would suggest to the site owners that they change this to free hot showers, that said it is a slight inconvenience .||||
