Camping Lago Apuane is an amazing site. Visiting this camping (at 585m altitude) feels like being invited as guests to the outdoors by a large Italian family. Elia, Patrizia and the rest of the staff are all very very kind, helpful and professional. They reminded me of the surfers community in the Netherlands - laid back, easy going and with love for nature.
When we arrived at the site, our electricity didn’t switch on. It didn’t take long to figure out that the problem was not related to the electricity supplied by the camping, but to our (rented) camper. Instead of leaving it up to us to solve the problem, Elia didn’t stop until he found the solution. He kept trying new solutions, and managed to explain and solve the issue.
Patrizia went out of her way to help us by finding us an affordable and safe parking site for campers near Pisa. She made a few calls, checked some websites and thus helped us have an amazing visit to Pisa (which is a considerable ride to and from this camping).
The restaurant crew was just as nice and professional. Besides tasteful dishes (yes, they serve great pizza at fair prices, but please try the steak with porcini, a typical local dish with great flavors), the staff is flexible, hospitable and just very relaxed. They too will go out of their way to accommodate you. The staff eats together every night just before the restaurant opens.
The geographical location of Camping Lago Apuane is breathtaking. It is a small scale - camping at Lake Apuane and the only one there. as far as you can see. You can rent kayaks there, have a drink at the bar or just swim I the lake. It is peaceful, quiet and the nights are cool because of the mountains (which is very welcome in the middle of a heat wave in Italy).
Staying at camping Lago Apuane is a breath of fresh air amidst the crowded commercial campings. Come here for an authentic stay in the beautiful Apuan mountains of Tuscany. We loved it there and would recommend it to anyone who loves the outdoors.
