  • Family-friendly site a 15-minute walk from Le Castella
  • Direct access to a sandy beach; scuba diving and sailing trips in town
  • Bar serving drinks and pizzas to eat on the terrace or take away
If you’re booking a site with an impressively sea-themed name like Camping Costa Splendente, you’d no doubt be expecting to be within easy reach of some sort of beach. And frankly you’ll have to be placed on the ‘impossible to please’ pile if you’re not in approval of what you find here… Stroll to the far end of this site just outside Calabria's Le Castella, swing open the gate and it’s but a handful of steps to get to the beach, a secluded sandy stretch with safe swimming in the clear waters of the Mediterranean. If you’re tempted to get further out to sea, it’ll take you 15 minutes or so to stroll into town for scuba diving, sailing and snorkelling boat trips. Should you tire of beach-based lounging, head back to the site for a burst of activity – a game of volleyball, table tennis or pétanque, perhaps – or to grab a drink at the bar while the bambini bolt over to the playground. Or you could always just seek out a spot for a siesta; with eucalyptus and pine trees scattered around the three-hectare site there should be plenty of shaded corners to pick from. A mini market is on site for essential supplies, and the bar serves up snacks and pizzas to eat on the terrace or take away (pizza on the beach, anyone?)

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its peaceful seaside location, proximity to town, and friendly staff. Pitches are described as large and flat, with good shade. Facilities are generally reported as clean, although some reviews mention them as dated or basic. Issues raised include a lack of a dryer, limited beach access due to rocks, and occasional noise from a nearby venue. The Wi-Fi is noted as unreliable by some. Despite some dated aspects, many find it good value for money and a relaxing place to stay.

Liked Camping ombreggiato, personale gentile, docce calde, bagni sempre puliti, piazzole per la tenda extralarge, spiaggia vicina (raggiungibile con una discesa sterrata), mare che degrada lentamente, raccolta differenziata, punto acqua e punto luce comodi, pizza e ristorante buoni, in pochi minuti a piedi si raggiunge il paese con un supermercatino e in 20 min a piedi lo splendido castello. Strategico per visitare la regione.

Disliked Purtroppo una mareggiata ha rovinato molto la spiaggia che ha perso un po' di fascino. Se il mare è mosso, solleva l'argilla della costa e diventa grigiastro.
Di notte un locale vicino tiene la musica accesa fino a tardi.
Purtroppo queste due cose non dipendono dai gestori del campeggio.
Il camping avrebbe bisogno di una sistemate: porte delle docce con assi inchiodate per aggiustarle o fontane con i tubi che sporgono dal cemento non sono esteticamente gradevoli.
Non c'è il negozietto nel camping, ma si va a piedi a quello del paese.

Liked A nice relaxed campsite next to the sea. Reasonably priced, short walk to the town. La Castella is a beautiful town that comes alive at night. Great restaurants.
The campsite has hot water showers. It’s clean & the staff are very friendly.

Disliked Nothing to dislike for one night stay.

Liked Die Leute sind nett

Disliked Es gibt da nichts bis auf ein Restaurant das wir gefunden haben, die Pizza war super und der Strand bräuchte mal eine Säuberung. Es wäre eine schöne Anlage aber die Betreiber müssten mal was machen. Wir wollten 7 Tage bleiben aber nach der ersten Nacht sind wir weiter gefahren.

Local attractions

Want to see more of that gorgeous blue sea? Boat trips leave from the harbour in Le Castella for days cruising along the coastline with snorkelling stops along the way to see what lurks under the surface. For a deeper view, there are a couple of scuba diving centres in town, along with a sailing centre for folk who’d rather stay above water. Many folks across the ages have left their mark on this stretch of coastline, so it’s been left with plenty of historical bits and bobs to see. Wander in to Le Castella in 15 minutes or so to take a look around its handsome seafront Aragonese fort or take the half-hour drive to the ancient ruins at Capo Colonna before continuing into Crotone to see its seafront towers and archaeology museum. Straying from the coast briefly, hikers, mountain bikers, horse riders and birdwatchers may like to head inland to the mountains of the Sila National Park, just over an hour’s drive away.
