Hi all

Thinking of next years' hols, and after having been to France a couple of times, we'd like to go further afield to Italy.

We're going for 3 weeks and would like to spend a week or so near Venice, a week near Rome and a week near Pisa.

Does anyone have any suggestions for campsites?

Thanks in advance

There are lots of campsites near Venice mainly in the Cavalino/Ca Savio area, lots with direct access to the beach. If you are not bothered by the beach then I would suggest Camping Miramare at Punta Sabbioni which is only a short walk to the ferry for Venice. If you stay at the other sites a bit further away there is a very good bus service along the main road. Many years ago we stayed at a campsite in Pisa called Torra Pendante which is in walking distance of the town. It tends to be use for shorter stays. I suppose my advice would be to decide how much time you want to spend visiting the famous places. If its only for a day I would find a site further away. I am sure you will get plenty of suggestions. Whilst I have been to Rome it was not with the caravan but if you get the opportunity try to visit the Sistine Chapel.

Try this site 30 mins Pisa  http://www.barcoreale.it/ we stayed there last year.

Very good site

Many thanks for your replies. Rostrevor - definately will avoid Marina di Pisa as the one thing we really don't like is noisy campsites with discos etc every night - much prefer the peace and quiet!

All of your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Any more would be good too!

Thanks again

Near Venice we camped at camping Oasi which we enjoyed a lot. That was about 4 years ago. This year we staed 3 nights at Camping Fabulous just outside Rome and close and not far from the coast but with very good public transport into the City. It is a site with some very impressive facilities e.g the Shower/toilet/wash up/laundry block is the biggest and one of the best I have come across.

P.s to my previous email - fabulous had a Queen tribute band playing outdoors whilst we were there at the same time as the outdoor ballroom dancing . Quite surreal and not particularly quiet! Oasi is very much a family site so can get a bit noisy... Both visits were August though.

Sorry didn't read your last comment properly!
