  • Seaside Calabria site with direct access to a private stretch of beach
  • A 10-minute drive from Diamante; 20 minutes from nature reserve walks
  • Beach games, family activities and restaurant on site
What a little gem this Calabria coastal site is… 10 minutes’ drive north of Diamante, Area Camper Ulisse is spread over 15,000 square metres of seaside woodland, with direct access to a private stretch of beach. That in itself is a pretty good start, but the folk here haven’t just relied on the fine location to keep their guests happy: nope, they’ve also ensured there’s plenty to do, and plenty to eat (both most important aspects). For the former, there’s a sand football area, a beach volleyball court and a pétanque court to play beachy games whenever you fancy, and the site staff organise a whole heap of activities including aqua gym classes, kids’ antics and jolly evenings of music, dancing and karaoke. And on the eats front? Kick off the day with top-notch coffee and freshly baked croissants, then settle in for tasty meals at lunch and dinner or graze your way through the day with fries and arancini accompanied by cooling handmade granita drinks. You may well be intending to spend a large chunk of your time here on the beach – and that’s not a bad plan at all, given that it’s right there and set up with comfy loungers, parasols and watersports kit. If you’re up for exploring, however, it won’t take longer than 20 minutes or so in the car to get down into Diamante for a wander, to head up into the foothills of the Valle del Fiume Argentino State Nature Reserve or to seek out local historic sights (or just find another beach, if that’s your idea of sightseeing…)

Electric grass and gravel tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We zijn heel prettig ontvangen. De mensen van de camping zijn heel vriendelijk en spreken gelukkig ook een beetje Engels. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is helemaal goed. De staanplaats en het sanitair was prima. De ligging is ideaal: rechtstreeks aan het strand. Het was het rijden uit Nederland waard.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: We got a great pitch overlooking the sea and beach. Lovely. Lots of showers and toilets. And the nearby town of Diamanté is really worth a visit, possibly dinner. We were there out of season, so there were only a few other campers there and none of the local bars or restaurants on the beach were open

Disliked: There was some road noise from a busy road, which might be an issue if you are camped at that end of the site. But we really only noticed it at night.

Local attractions

Even if you’re reluctant to rise from your sun lounger, it’s worth making the effort to get down to Diamante (10 minutes’ drive) – it’s such a pretty town that it’s been used as the set for several TV shows and films, and it’s also a real hub for street art with more than 70 murals adorning its walls (can you spot them all?). Take in some of the area’s history while you’re out and about with trips to the ruins of Ruderi di Cirella (five minutes’ drive) and the seaside Torre Talao (10 minutes), or get to grips with traditions by finding out about local produce at Museo del Cedro (five minutes), spicing things up at the Chilli Museum (10 minutes) or checking out local clothing at Museo Arti Gusto Buonvicino (25 minutes). Sticking to the seaside, grazie? There are plenty of sandy stretches to seek out within a 20-minute drive, or you may like to take a trip to Cirella island – it’s 600 metres off the shoreline, so you can kayak over or pedal a pedalo.
