Village Camping Santa Fortunata
Italy, Campania, Sorrento

Village Camping Santa Fortunata is situated on the hillside just outside Sorrento among olive and lemon groves. There is plenty of shade but low hanging branches make some of the pitches unsuitable for larger units. There is a steep tarmac approach to some but the stunning views over the bay more than compensate.

Camping Nettuno
Italy, Campania, Massa Lubrense

Camping Nettuno is owned and run by the friendly Mauro family, who speak excellent English. Nestled in the bay of Marina del Cantone, it is situated in the protected area of Punta Campanella, away from the busiest tourist spots. As a result, the approach roads are difficult and narrow. This small campsite of only 60 pitches (with 4A electricity available) is spread over three levels above the pebbly beach, and there are about 60 mobile homes. Up several steps and across the road are the amenities, reception, shop and dive centre, and then above this is a restaurant with magnificent views over the bay. Pitches are informally arranged, some with a fabulous sea view (extra charge), most with shade. Because the site is tucked into the hillside pitches are small and close together, but there is plenty of cheerful assistance to find the best place. The site has two pathways to the nearby beach that, unusually, for the area involves little walking or steps.

Camping Zeus
Italy, Campania, Pompeii

The naming of this site is obvious once you discover it is just 50 metres from the entrance to the fantastic ruins at Pompeii (closer than the car park). It is a reasonably priced, city-type site perfect for visiting the famous Roman archaeological sites here. The site’s 100 pitches, all for touring units, are on flat grass under mature trees that give shade. All have access to 10A electricity. Larger units use the tarmac parking area.

It also avoids taking caravans into the astonishing traffic chaos of Sorrento town. There are 92 touring pitches all contained by hedges. There is a free bus service to a pay beach in nearby Meta (services can be patchy). There is also a train station a little further from the site.

Campania

Campania boasts one of the finest coastlines in Italy, incorporating the dramatic Amalfi coast, the beautiful Bay of Naples, and the enchanting islands of Capri, Ischia and Prócida. It is also home to some of the best preserved ancient sites, most notably Pompeii, plus the historic city of Naples.

Filled with palaces, churches and convents, the regional capital of Naples also boasts an archaeology museum housing artefacts excavated from the nearby Roman sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Situated on the Bay of Naples, these sites were buried after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, leaving them frozen in time. Although still active (the only one on mainland Europe) it is possible to scale up the volcano. Not far from Pompeii is the popular holiday destination of Sorrento and off the coast of the bay are the islands of Ischia, Capri and Prócida. The largest is Ischia, which along with Capri, attracts vast numbers of tourists; Prócida is the smallest and least visited.

Further south is the Amalfi coast, a spectacular stretch of coastline littered with superb beaches and resorts, including Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. The busy port of Salerno is near to the ancient Greek site of Paestum, with temples dating back to the 6th century BC, and the area known as the Cilento, a mountainous region with a quiet coastline. It has a number of seaside resorts including Agropoli, Acciaroli and Palinuro plus the inland villages of Castelcivita and Pertosa, both of which have cave systems open to the public.

The region consists of five provinces: Avellino, Benevento, Caserta, Napoli and Salerno.
