  • 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…

What customers say

This campsite offers a tranquil, family-friendly atmosphere with a natural setting, ideal for exploring the Cinque Terre. Guests appreciate the helpful and friendly staff, particularly Guido, and the convenience of a nearby supermarket. The free shuttle bus to the train station and beach is a significant plus. Pitches are described as spacious and shady, with some featuring private sinks. While generally clean, the sanitary facilities are noted as being a little dated but functional. Minor criticisms include some electrical hook-up limitations and a lack of on-site entertainment.

TIMOTHY C. 1 review

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

Electric grass tent pitch (two person)

Liked If you like a family‑style, quiet, and friendly atmosphere, this is the perfect campground for you. It’s right at the gateway to the Cinque Terre, surrounded by greenery, with simple, clean facilities and free hot showers. The grocery store is literally right across the street, and the shuttle service to the train station runs practically every hour.
The owner, Guido, wasn’t just professional—he was genuinely friendly and always ready with helpful advice. We’ll definitely be coming back in September.

se ti piace un ambiente familiare, tranquillo e amichevole questo è il tuo Campeggio… proprio alle porte delle cinque terre immerso nel verde con servizi semplici puliti e docce gratuite con acqua calda… il supermercato alimentare è praticamente di fronte al Campeggio… il servizio navetta per la stazione ferroviaria praticamente è attivo ogni ora… il proprietario si chiama Guido è stata una persona non solo professionale ma anche amichevole è pronto a dare consigli utili… sicuramente ritorneremo a settembre

Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch

Liked Sehr sympathische Campingplatzbesitzer (deutsch/italienisch) mit großem Herz auch für Tiere. Informativ, hilfsbereit, super kostenfreier Hol - und Bringservice zur Zugstation. Deshalb war die etwas abseitsgelegene Lage leicht zu kompensieren. 3 km etwa zum Zug.
Viele Bäume zum Teil Kies, ruhiger Platz.
Eine etwas in die Jahre gekommene Sanitäranlage, es funktioniert alles. Das reicht auch aus. Preis- Leistung ist hervorragend.
Ein Platz mit Flair, kein Schnickschnack den man eh nicht braucht.
Vielen Dank, ich hab mich wohl gefühlt, besonders mit "Fluffi, die süße"!
Es gibt einen kleinen praktischen Supermarkt um die Ecke.

Disliked Nichts.

Electric grass tent pitch (six person)

Liked Le camping est très calme, très bien entretenu.
Nous avions un emplacement de tente : il était grand avec un évier privatif (c'est rare !)
Le bonus c'est la navette gratuite vers la gare de Deiva Marina plusieurs fois dans la journée.
Je recommande ce camping sans hésitation !

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.
