  • Well-equipped site on the Tyrrhenian Sea with direct beach access
  • A 35-minute drive from Pizzo Calabro and 55 minutes from Tropea
  • Large pool, tennis court and pizzeria on site
With direct access to a private sandy beach (equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers) and spectacular views (especially at sunset) of the Aeolian Islands in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea, peaceful Villaggio Camping La Ginestra certainly has a lot going for it. This family- and dog-friendly structure is a 10-minute drive from the village of Nicotera Marina, where seafood eateries, pizza places and ice-cream parlours dot the palm tree-lined seafront and the narrow streets inland. Can’t face the idea of driving in the Calabrian summer heat? No worries: the on-site pizzeria prepares delicious wood-oven pizzas. At the bar, guests can also buy local products and basic essentials such as bread, milk and water. There are plenty of active pursuits to be had on site, with a large pool and a children’s pool, plus a tennis court, a soccer pitch, table tennis and a pétanque court. It’s also possible to book cruises to the Aeolian Islands and other excursions directly at reception. Large tree-shaded pitches come with electric hook-up and water points; there is also a toilet block and hot showers.

What customers say

This campsite offers a beautiful beachfront location with a gorgeous, clean pool and sunbeds. Guests praise the exceptional kindness, helpfulness, and availability of staff, particularly Giacomo, who is noted for his efficiency. The on-site pizzeria is highly recommended. While the facilities are described as dated by some, they are generally kept clean and functional. Concerns were raised about the ladies' washroom cleanliness, dated children's play equipment, and a lack of on-site shop and entertainment. An incident involving a football striking a guest highlights a need for improved supervision.

Electric optional hardstanding touring caravan pitch

Liked Piazzola grande e ombreggiata, acqua disponibile accanto a ogni piazzola. Accesso diretto sul mare, spiaggia ampia e mare spettacolare. Piscina piccola per i bimbi e grande per gli adulti, pulite e calde. Si entra con la cuffia che si vende al bar, dove si possono acquistare aperitivi, gelati, da bere. Un posto spartano, ma bello. C'è una pizzeria. Si può ordinare ciò che serve di alimentare alla reception e passa un ambulante con frutta e verdura. L'area campeggio è accanto alla spiaggia. Non ci sono mosche, vespe, zanzare. Posto pulito.ventilato.

Disliked I bagni: vecchi e corrosi. Sporchi. Non ci sono ganci per appendere le pochette, così come in quasi tutte le docce, tranne due. 5 bagni per un intero campeggio sono pochissimi. 2 turche 3 water, sia uomini che donne. Il pomeriggio un po' di confusione per via degli arrivi e qualche campeggiatore maleducato che non rispetta le regole. Meglio docce a pagamento e bagni puliti, che docce libere e sporche e intasate.

Electric optional hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked Had warm welcome from staff and were shown to pitch which was perfect with some shade. Close to beautiful beach. Gorgeous pool - very clean and surrounded with comfortable sun beds. Delicious pizza in evening! Good nights sleep. Hot water in shower and considering age of facilities- they were kept clean. Would have stayed longer but we’re on a mission to get to Sicily. We would go back!

Disliked The facilities- although functional- need up-dating.

Electric optional hardstanding tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Tutto.
Dal luogo, campeggio tranquillo, spartano, senza fronzoli, ma il necessario: pulizia, personale disponibile, gentile, sempre a disposizione dal bar alla reception al ristorante.
Una squadra di persone di una gentilezza e pazienza incredibili.
Le ragazze al bar, che vi raccontano di libri e film, sempre pronte a sorridervi e ad aiutarvi per qualsiasi esigenza!
Giacomo ha la capacità di stare contemporaneamente in più posti a risolvere qualsiasi intoppo degli ospiti! E' eccezionale!
Infine Agostino dall'enorme pazienza e gentilezza... che dire?
Io ci ritorno!

Electric optional hardstanding tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked La piscina molto grande e pulita, la cordialità del personale, la vicinanza al mare, la presenza all'interno del campeggio di numerose docce per rinfrescarsi gratuitamente. La pizzeria con forno a legna e il bar dove poter gustare e prenotare i cornetti e il pane. Il passaggio settimanale di fruttivendoli e casari che ha consentito di acquistare sempre prodotti freschi e genuini a km zero. Le piazzole ben separate e distanti tra loro.

Disliked I bagni vecchi e mal funzionanti. Giostrine per bambini ossidate e arruginite. Animazione alla piscina assente e il bagnino alla piscina distratto dalla sua ulteriore mansione di dj

Electric optional hardstanding tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Veramente un posto fantastico … soprattutto devo fare i miei complimenti ai gestori del campeggio e tutti quelli che ci lavorano , veramente persone squisite , per ogni minimo problema o bisogno ci sono sempre stati. Ringrazio tutti soprattutto il mitico Giacomo , simpaticissimo e davvero gentile.
Se questo non vi convince , il campeggio ha una spiaggia privata e mare pulitissimo. Come panorama c’è Stromboli e le isole Eolie . Davvero un paradiso.
Grazie ancora per la bellissima vacanza e per l’affetto ricevuto
Un abbraccio Riccardo e Giulia

Liked Rodinný, přátelský přístup s velkým pochopením pro děti. Poctivé domácí jídlo s poznáním místního jídla i výborného vína.
Dokonalá pláž s minimem lidí (pouze kemp), srovnatelná s Karibikem.

Disliked chybí točené pivo

Local attractions

If you want to catch a glimpse of Sicily during your Calabrian holiday, drive to Scilla (35 minutes), where you can see the Strait of Messina and the coast of Italy’s largest island. One of the best spots for views is Castello Ruffo, or take a stroll along the pleasure harbour to the Belvedere dei Faraglioni. Carved out of a rocky cliff, Church Piedigrotta in Pizzo Calabro (35 minutes) enchants with its multitude of sculptures portraying scenes from the Scriptures. In town, Castello Murat is a 15th-century stronghold overlooking the beach. Renowned for its production of sweet red onions, the resort of Tropea (55 minutes) perches dramatically on rocky cliffs overlooking the sea and sandy beaches. The Santuario di Santa Maria dell’Isola di Tropea, on a craggy, vegetation-covered spur jutting out into the sea, dates back from the Middle Ages and has splendid views of the coast and the town.
