from 51 reviews Write review

The Italian Ligurian coast is known for the colourful villages of Cinque Terre, picturesquely positioned against the rocks above the sea. On that same steep coast, Camping Smeraldo is located on a rocky ridge above the clear blue water. Camping Smeraldo is a unique place for the somewhat adventurous campsite visitor. Once you have reached the place with your tent or motorhome, a special stay awaits you with the sea, beach and mountains playing a major role. You can also book a bungalow or apartment at this dream location.

A tunnel through the rocks to the campsite

You access the campsite in a unique way, namely, via a tunnel through the rocky coast. At one time, steam trains rode through this tunnel – now, you drive through it in your car. Although it is only possible for traffic to travel in one direction, this changes every twenty minutes, making your waiting time a maximum of twenty minutes.

The campsite is not suitable for very large recreational vehicles because of the width of the tunnel and the rocky terraces on which the pitches are located. Tent pitches are 4x4 metres and equipped with a shade sail. The pitches are paved, and all have a view of the sea. This also applies for the charming bungalows and apartments.

Sun, sea and beach

Camping Smeraldo is a perfect spot for those who love the sea and the beach. You can rent stand up paddleboards and canoes at the campsite. You walk from your tent straight to the pebble beach. Beach lounges are available for rent for wonderful long days by the water. The toilet blocks have both sitting and squatting toilets.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - The location and layout of this camping are magical.

It starts with how you get here. You have to drive through a tunnel that has only one road. The tunnel is open only in one direction at a time, and you have to wait your turn (max. 18 minute wait). Halfway through the tunnel, there is a small exit, which is the exclusive entrance to the camping, and just the camping.

From then and until you leave, the friendly staff, incredible view, quiet ambience, private beach, restaurant with a view, and clear blue ocean all add up to the best stay you can imagine.

Recommended 12 our of 10.
Disliked - Nothing.
