Between pine forest and sea in Tuscany; Camping Etruria

Camping Etruria is located in an extensive pine forest on the Tuscan coast, just a short walk from the Mediterranean Sea. The park has a peaceful, green setting, while the beach and water are always close by. During the day you can easily walk through the dunes to the sea or cool off in the swimming pool. Meanwhile, life unfolds along shady paths, with the sound of cicadas and the scent of pine trees. A place where being outdoors comes naturally and the pace automatically slows down.

Relax on the beach of the Tuscan coast

From the campsite, you can walk straight to the beach at Marina di Castagneto Carducci. A wide coastline with sand, dunes, and clear water. Slightly further away are places like San Vincenzo and Marina di Bibbona, where you can stroll along the boulevard or relax on a terrace. During the day, you alternate between beach and sea, while grabbing something to eat or drink along the coast.

Visit the picturesque villages in the area

In the area, there are several Tuscan villages such as Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri. Narrow streets, small squares, and views over the hills. In Bolgheri, you enter the village via a long avenue lined with cypresses. Along the way, you'll come across wineries and small restaurants featuring local dishes on the menu. Take your time to walk around and stop somewhere.

Walk and cycle along the coast & nature parks

Along the coast there are several nature reserves where you can walk and cycle. The Rimigliano nature park is a short distance away and runs right along the sea. Here, you walk between pine trees, dunes, and open stretches of beach. Further inland are areas such as Bolgheri and Montioni, with routes through forests and hills. On the way, you’ll encounter little development, and the surroundings are mainly defined by nature. The paths are suitable for both short walks and longer hikes. Thanks to the combination of forest and coast, it feels different every time. Bring water and wear good shoes, as some routes have gentle inclines and descents.

Experience roller coasters and water sports

About 2 kilometers away you'll find Cavallino Matto, an amusement park with roller coasters, water attractions, and shows. It's a place where you can easily spend a whole day. For those who prefer something a bit quieter, there are several coastal towns nearby where you can swim, cycle, or rent a boat. In San Vincenzo you'll find a harbor and opportunities for water sports. Cecina and Vada are also within reach for a day trip. Here you'll find a mix of beaches, small shops, and local markets. In the surrounding area, you can also cycle along the coast or head inland. The distances are easy to manage, allowing you to combine multiple places in a single day.

Summary created out of 165 reviews

The park is beautifully situated in a shaded pine forest directly by the sea, with spacious pitches and a wide sandy beach. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the friendly animation team, and the restaurants with affordable pizzas. The pool with slides is popular with families. Important points of attention include the persistent ant problem (ant powder is essential), limited wifi reception, missing soap in sanitary facilities, and increased prices since the Sandaya takeover.

    4 stars, maybe… but definitely not for cleanliness! We stayed at the safari lodge, which was full of cobwebs, and there was a lot of dust under the bed. There were even spiders and cobwebs among the dishes in the kitchen. Near the kids’ bunk bed, it was full of spiders and cobwebs that I had to remove myself. Okay, glamping in the woods is one thing, but cleanliness has nothing to do with it! It’s one thing if a spider comes in from outside because you’re in the woods—it’s another entirely if you don’t properly clean the interior between guests!

    4 stelle forse … sicuramente non di pulizia! Abbiamo soggiornato nella safari lodge che era piena di ragnatele e sotto il letto pieno di polvere. Addirittura in cucina tra le stoviglie c’erano ragni e ragnatele. Vicino al letto a castello dei bambini era pieno di ragni e ragnatele che ho dovuto togliere io stessa. Ok glamping nel bosco ma la pulizia non centra nulla con questo! Un conto e se ti entra un ragno da fuori perché sei nel bosco, altro e’ se non pulisci adeguatamente gli interni tra un soggiorno e l’altro!

    Nice campground, pool, and facilities. And when you book, try not to stay behind the entertainment stage. Because the shows don’t end until 11 p.m., and it’s noisy there with young people until 1 a.m. The security is a total joke. They just drive around at night in a golf cart, acting all cool, with a bunch of kids in it. But when it comes to noise complaints, they’re nowhere to be found. They don’t actually monitor or keep an eye on things. It’s really bad for a good night’s sleep.

    Leuke camping en zwembad en faciliteiten. En als je boekt probeer niet achter de entertainment stage te staan. Want die stopt pas om 23u en het is er tot 1u rumoerig met jeugd. Alleen bewaking stelt geen reet voor. Alleen interessant doen met een golfkarretje en vol met jeugd rondrijden in de nacht. Maar tegen geluidsoverlast is meneer niet thuis. bewaken en opletten doet die niet. Echt heel slecht voor je nachtrust

    A lovely campground where tent sites (large pitches) and permanent accommodations are mixed together 👍 with a private beach and plenty to do for kids (ages 1 to 16). We’d love to come back.

    We stayed at a beautiful spot last year! Just a few meters from the gorgeous beach, complete with a beach bar. We booked again last fall for this coming summer—we can’t wait! 💛 Be sure to bring some ant spray!

    Vorig jaar op een prachtige plek gestaan! Op een paar meter van het prachtige strand inclusief strandbar. Afgelopen najaar gelijk weer geboekt voor aankomende zomer, we kunnen niet wachten! 💛 Neem wel mierenspray mee!

    Update:
    De sanitaire voorzieningen zijn echt ondermaats. Tevens zijn bijvoorbeeld te kapotte elementen in het zwembad na een jaar nog steeds niet opgelost.
