  • Scenic site near Cinque Terre National Park and Portofino
  • Shuttle bus to the local beach and train station in all seasons
  • Playground, modern bathrooms and seasonal shop selling cheese and wine
Get with ease from Camping La Sfinge to a golden sandy beach or out and about in the region: the amiable owners here lay on a free shuttle bus to the nearby sands and to the local train station all the year long. And what a lot there is to see with either journey. La Sfinge is in Liguria's La Spezia province, the spectacularly scenic home of the famed Cinqe Terre coastline on the Italian Riviera, part of the Cinque Terre National Park. This alone could keep you scenically and sandily occupied for weeks, but La Spezia's also the setting of Porto Venere Regional Natural Park and Palmaria Island, Italy's biggest naval base in La Spezia city, and picworthy pretty villages like Brugnato, Montemarcello and Tellaro… and has splendidly easy access by train to major Italian destinations like Milan, Florence and Pisa. Your scenic base (see pics) for all this is a quiet, greenly pleasant and family-friendly site, well maintained by a helpful team happy to help out with any info or tips you might need on the region – you might, perhaps, decide to meander from village to local village along the craggy coastal path…? Or cast off from the coast instead: La Sfinge is five kilometres from the small village of Deiva Marina, hailed as a top angling spot in all seasons. On site, facilities include modern bathrooms with hot water available around the clock, hairdryers and disabled access. From Easter to October, a shop sells groceries including fruit, veg, bread, milk and local meat, cheese and wine. The site also has a playground – not that the kids might need it if they're shuttling back and forth daily between the site and the beach…

Electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist unschlagbar. Wir sind mit 5 Personen in einem sehr großen Zelt gekommen. Unserem Wunsch nach einem abgelegenen pitch wurde entsprochen, guido war sehr nett und spricht fließend Deutsch, italienisch, englisch und französisch.

Die sanitären Anlagen waren funktionsfähig.

Die direkte Umgebung ist super, ein kostenloser Bus an den Strand der alle Stunde fährt und vom Zugbahnhof (Linie Genua <-> Pisa an der Küste entlang) direkt zum Platz fährt ist da, man kann also auch ohne Auto her), ein Supermarkt und Baumarkt mit Camping bedarf sind vor der Tür und keine 300 Meter weit zu einem traumhaften Wanderweg durch Jahrzehnte scheinbar unberührte Natur. Nachts hat uns ein echter uhu besucht (auf einem Baum neben dem Zelt) und das tiefe laute hooten war ein echtes Erlebnis.


Es ist kein 5 Sterne Hotel, sondern ein echter Campingplatz. Fürs Zelten super geeignet, zahlt man hier für eine Woche mit 5 Personen das, was normal 2 Personen pro Nacht im Hotel zahlen.


Zu der Zeit im September wo wir hier waren, gab es weder Programm noch ein Restaurant oder Markt direkt auf dem Campingplatz. Wer also Unterhaltung sucht wie an der Adria muss wo anders suchen. Dies führt allerdings dazu, dass der Platz wirklich sehr angenehm ruhig ist und die Natur Geräusche dominieren.


Es gibt sehr viele Katzen, dementsprechend gab es keine Probleme mit Mäusen oder Ratten wie es auf anderen Plätzen ist. Auch schön war, dass keine Gäste mit großen kötern da waren.

Disliked Laden von e Fahrzeugen nicht möglich auch nicht mit langsamen Reiseadapter. Dies ist dem Stromnetz geschuldet, nicht dem Betreiber.


Teilweise sehr steiler enger Anstieg auf dem Platz, für Fahrzeuge größer als ein vw Bus könnte das herausfordernd sein auf die oberen Plätze zu kommen, wohnwägen und Wohnmobil müssen „unten“ stehen, oben ist eher für Zelter mit Pkw oder zu Fuß zugänglich.

Electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Nice big shady pitch with own sink & drinking water tap which was a very welcome bonus.

Good to find Soap & Loo rolls in well cleaned toilets.

Helpfull & friendly staff, especially Guido.

Disliked More hooks in toilets & showers in better repair would be an improvement but this is a very minor criticism.

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Ein kleiner ruhiger Platz mit allem nötigen. Es gibt einen Shuttle vom Platz zum Meer und Bahnhof, welcher stündlich fährt.
Das einchecken geht komplikationslos und sehr freundlich. Man spricht auch deutsch. Um die Ecke gibt es einen Sparmarkt wo man das nötigste für den Alltag bekommt.
Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Disliked Konnten wir jetzt nicht wirklich was finden, waren aber auch nur zum schlafen auf dem Platz

Local attractions

The spectacular Cinque Terre National Park, Italy's first, is one of the most popular places in the land for seaside and nature spotting hols: aim to bag as much time here as humanly poss. The park includes five villages accessible by train: Monterosso (35 minutes), Vernazza (40 minutes), Corniglia (45 minutes), Riomaggiore (50 minutes) and Manarola (an hour and 10 minutes), all very much worth a look. There are lengthy coastal trails to tackle too, such as the Via dell’Amore or Lovers’ Way, connecting the five Cinque Terre villages via stunning views over the sea. Closer to home, the little seaside resort of Deiva Marina has sandy beaches surrounded by green mountains, teeny coves only reachable by boat, and nature trails in the hills all around. Book a fishing or whale watching trip at the Deiva Marina tourist office, or set off on a hike into the hills – one trail runs alongside the coast for more seaside views and another snakes inland and up the Apennine mountains. Snorkelling, diving, windsurfing and canoeing are also easy to access close by. Climbing is available 200 metres from the site.
