Camping Sabaudia

Well, I am a regular at this camping since mid 90s, and I have seen it grow and change in all these years. The good things include its position, in a pine area right by the beach, quiet at night and lively at daytime. There are a few bungalows and rooms for those without equipment, a large area for caravans and campers, and an area for tents. Two public services offer several toilets, sinks, showers with free hot water (in the past hot water wasn’t free, but in the past years they removed the coin timer), and next to the reception there’s a common area with washing machines (they need to be booked) and refrigerators, very useful for those by tent. The staff is very friendly, and kids may be happy to know there’s an animation team during the Summer to keep them entertained. The bar and restaurant are under a separate management but inside the camping, and can be accessed also by non camping guests. Particularly good the pasta dishes with fish (mussels, clams and shrimps among my favorites) but also grilled meat and pizza. Restaurant service is also very friendly and competent. Speaking of bad sides I can only mention the prices: true that most customers are Romans spending the full Summer here, many even leaving their caravans during the Winter, but prices for short term customers are a bit too high. Considering that the tents area doesn’t have a delimited space, but tents are rather free to set wildly in the assigned area, during peak season you may find someone just few centimeters from you and in the night you’ll have to be very careful to cords and stakes. That’s why € 35 per night for a small 2 people tent is way too much in my opinion! At least the parking is free and adjacent the camping, while parking a car in the street would cost € 1 per hour for 12 hours a day.
