Camping Il Collaccio

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Il Collaccio

Castelvecchio di Preci is tucked away in the tranquil heights of the mountainous Umbrian countryside, as is Camping Il Collaccio, which is set on a hillside. The 100 or so terraced touring pitches, with shade and 6A electricity, have stunning views. The friendly family have run the business well for over 30 years, planting thousands of trees here in the process.

A dip in the pools is wonderfully cooling in summer, and an evening meal in the campsite's own restaurant, whilst taking in the views of the lush green vegetation of the surrounding hills, is a must (try the wild boar!). It's a foodie heaven, with homemade gastronomic treats available in the shop on-site, including excellent local wines. This is a relaxed, charming campsite in an idyllic spot with so much to recommend it. A really authentic campsite with plenty to see and do in the surrounding area.

Very popular salami making (no preservatives) and Umbrian cookery courses take place over Easter and New Year, and the products can be sampled in the excellent restaurant. It is too high for vines here, but try the Umbrian wines carried in the cellar. The area is famous for lentils – a speciality is the soup. Another interesting feature is truffle cultivation on the lower slopes of the site.
