Camping Baia di Gallipoli

Alan Rogers Review

Down on the 'heel' of Italy, the western shoreline of Puglia offers beaches of excellent quality, interspersed with small villages and some holiday complexes. The Baia di Gallipoli campsite is in a quiet rural area on a minor coast road to the southwest of the town. It's a very pleasant location for a traditional beach holiday.

The campsite offers 600 pitches, all with 6A electricity, under pine and eucalyptus trees. Cars are parked in a separate area, and vehicle access is strictly controlled, giving the site a quiet, peaceful ambience. Although 800 metres from the gently shelving beach, in partnership with other campsites, it provides regular shuttle buses to the beach car park. The 'campsite collective' also runs a bar and restaurant on the beach with toilets and showers. The short walk to the beach from the car park is along a timber walk, and site staff clear rubbish from the beach and the pine wood daily.

Michele Annese and the other staff clearly have a pride in their work and this is reflected in the standards offered and maintained. This is a good, peaceful site in low season and also great for family holidays in July and August when excursions and entertainment are always on offer.
