The campsite facilities include a bar, restaurant and pizzeria, a shop providing basic necessities, a football pitch, a table tennis table and you can also hire canoes down by the water's edge.

Set alongside the lake with its fabulous views, the restaurant complex has a large terrace, as does a smaller indoor area.

Camping Internazionale Lago di Bracciano
Italy, Lazio, Trevignano Romano

Lago di Bracciano is just 47 km. from the centre of Rome. The site is of a size that provides excellent opportunities for watersports and is inevitably very popular with windsurfers. With some pitches alongside a private little beach, the site provides 110 pitches of which about 50 are for touring units. Our pitch had a full view of the lake, and the gentle breeze made the temperature at the end of June quite bearable. Some shade is provided by large trees. A bar and restaurant near the entrance are behind the site’s small swimming pool and play area. The local bus has a regular service to Rome, and the nearby train station has a direct line to Rome. There are various opportunities for excursions that the site owners will be pleased to tell you about. This site would be a good choice for long or short stays, especially in low season.

Camping Valdisole is on the banks of Lake Bolsena, with walks, horse riding, water sports and historic estate visits all nearby, and plenty of comfy hammocks, shaded lawns and a beach catering for those seeking rather less energetic ways to pass their days. The owners have chosen to keep their site as natural as possible to ensure the facilities have minimal impact. The site has 150 touring pitches with electric hook-up points available. There’s a large open space to run about and play games of football or volleyball, a playground and plenty of scope for woodland walks or games in among the forest of native trees. Stroll over to the bar-restaurant where snacks, meals and drinks are served up either inside or out on the sunny/shaded terrace. Or take the DIY approach by picking up bits and bobs at the mini market and selecting a spot for a picnic by the lake beach.

Holiday Village (Fondi)
Italy, Lazio, Salto di Fondi

This site is now very restricted for touring units with only six small pitches available. However, Fondi is midway between Rome and Naples, 300 m. off the Terracina-Gaeta road (SS213). The six pitches are at the rear of the site amongst permanent units and under effective but sombre, green shading, but are close to the amenities. They are on flat grass, all with 3A electricity, but are not suitable for large units of any kind due to access restrictions. The large beach (with lifeguard) is of fine sand and there is a pleasant grass promenade between the beach and the restaurant complex.

Blu International Camping
Italy, Lazio, Bolsena

This is a small, rustic site divided by the access road to the beach. The very basic amenities could be stretched at busy times. Access to the lake is poor in this area so it is better to travel approximately one kilometre along the lake to launch a boat or enjoy the water. There is a pleasant small bar and restaurant. The site is approached along a very narrow long lane and this may provide difficulties for all but small units.

The diverse range of facilities are designed in particular to meet the needs of young travellers and the aim here is to provide a friendly helpful service all year round. There are 100 touring pitches of varying sizes on level terraces. Motorhomes are mostly placed in a separate area where 20 pitches are fully serviced. There is a new swimming pool and a jacuzzi on a terrace with beach volleyball on soft sand, and relaxation areas with a barbecue. The modern bar (nightclub) has a huge TV screen and a terrace to relax and enjoy the cool evening breezes and the views. We visited on a Saturday when there was a superb cheap buffet prepared in the large, well appointed, Italian-themed restaurant. A vibrant site where all can have fun and get good value for money, but the many young people can be noisy after hours.

Rambla Beach Resort Campsite
Italy, Lazio, Terracina

This is a pleasant small site of only 70 pitches, half for seasonal units and half for tourers. These are set randomly among the seasonal units and consequently there is a feeling of being part of a typical Italian holiday experience. Although it is near the busy SS213, it is far enough away for traffic noise not to be a problem, and the only noise we did hear was from the occasional small boat going down the river and this was hardly noticeable. The small pitches of about 60 sq.m. are all marked by tidy hedges and are shaded under pine trees. The site enjoys a semi-rural location alongside a private beach which campers may use.

Lazio

Lazio lies between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the Pontine marshes in the south and wooded hills in the north. Home to the historic city of Rome it also has numerous lakes and coastal resorts which provide the perfect antidote to the heat of the city and its crowds.

Rome, the capital city of Italy, is crammed full of history, boasting a dazzling array of architectural and artistic masterpieces of the ancient world. Within Rome lies the Vatican City, the world capital of Catholicism, ruled by the Pope, Europe’s only absolute monarch. It’s also the world’s smallest state, occupying 43 hectares within high walls watched over by guards. More historical sites can be found just outside Rome, including the ruins of Villa Adriana, just outside the hilltown of Tivoli. Once a favoured resort of the ancient Romans, the town is also home to the 16th-century Villa d’Este, renowned for its beautiful gardens. Nearby Ostia Antica boasts one of the finest Roman sites. For 600 years it was the busy, main port of Rome, and the site is well preserved.

Viterbo, in the north, is a medieval town with grand palaces and churches enclosed by preserved medieval walls. For recreation, there are numerous lakes including Lakes Bolsena, Bracciano, Vico and Albano. These lakes were created by volcanic activity which also left Lazio with hot springs, most notably those around Tivoli and Fiuggi. Popular coastal resorts include Sperlonga, Anzio and Nettuno, with some of the best beaches lying between Gaeta and Sabaudia.

Lazio has five provinces: Frosinone, Latina, Rieti, Roma and Viterbo.
