  • On the banks of the Magra river, 10 minutes' drive from Sarzana
  • Less than an hour's drive from Portovenere and Cinque Terre
  • Harbour, restaurant and pool; direct river access; beach shuttle bus
The peaks of the Apuan Alps on one side, the Magra river on the other and a stretch of sandy beach a short drive away – Iron Gate Marina 3B certainly has a cast-iron claim to a splendid setting. The La Spezia surrounds may well be pretty special, but so is the park – it stretches out to a full nine hectares, much of it packed with pine trees and poplars, with direct access to the river (and the Mediterranean waters that lie beyond) from its own harbour area. Not in possession of your own boat? No need to be left on the land – you can hire small boats on site for aquatic adventures. If you'd rather cling a little closer to the coast it’s a 10-minute drive to the nearest beach, although you'll not have to navigate the journey for yourself as a free shuttle bus trundles between the site and the sands through the summer. Sticking steadfastly to dry land? Slope off to Sarzana with a 10-minute drive to hit the shops or mosey through the medieval streets. Should you not fancy either outing, you'll not miss out on swims and eats – there’s an outdoor pool and kids' pool on site, along with a mini market and bar/restaurant for easy eats and drinks. Togs looking a tad tired? Take them to get cleaned up at the launderette or splash out on some new ones at the site's clothing shop.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful riverside setting with spacious, shaded pitches and friendly staff. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are frequently praised for their cleanliness, although some guests note they are a little dated. Amenities like the pool, shop, and restaurant are appreciated. Its convenient location for visiting the Cinque Terre is a significant draw, with a shuttle service to the train station being particularly useful. Some guests have reported issues with noise from nearby roads and occasional inconvenience with shop opening hours.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Der Security-Mensch, der nachts da war, war sehr nett.

Disliked Alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Noch sehr viele dieser alten Stehklos, generell sind die Waschräume sehr betagt. Das Schwimmbad ist okay, aber die Badeaufsicht hat um 19:50 Uhr schon die Leute aus dem Pool "gebeten" (Pool bis 20 Uhr offen). Auf dem Zeltplatz nur Strom mit Adapter möglich, der nur gegen 20€ Bargeld als Pfand geliehen werden kann. Teilweise das Personal mit sehr schlechten Englischkenntnissen.

Liked Schaduwrijke ruime plaatsen, mooi zwembad, shuttlebus naar station Sarzana

Disliked Stroomvoorziening, 3 ampere, de stroom vloog er regelmatig uit. Voor campers zijn er ook plekken met 6 ampere stroom, dat hadden ze ons echter niet van te voren uitgelegd maar achteraf gehoord.
Slechte wifi

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Good sized pitches in the shade and close to harbour. Nice bar and small shop. Pool was ok, very deep at both ends, you HAVE to wear a swim cap (can be bought at shop).

Disliked Facilities dated and in need of an upgrade.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Schöner Stellplatz, alles war sauber, die Duschen und Toiletten sind zwar in die Jahre gekommen aber es wurde ständig geputzt und somit war alles tipptopp

Disliked Der „Supermarkt „ könnte etwas mehr an Angeboten haben, wie z.b. Fleisch zum grillen.
Das Restaurant ist im Verhältnis zur Preisleistung zu teuer. Die Kellner sind aber durchweg freundlich.

Local attractions

It’s best to leave both your boat and your car behind for the day if you're planning an outing to the famed Cinque Terre National Park – boats and trains run from La Spezia (half an hour’s drive) to the park, giving you access to the colourful cliffside villages and walking trails without tackling tricky mountain roads. Pretty Portovenere is a good alternative for a day out, but you’ll need your car for this one – it's a 50-minute drive. More walks and outdoorsy activities? Make for the Montemarcello Natural Park, 15 minutes away, for woodland and coastal trails, plus walks around Lerici Castle, Punta Corva black-sand beach and the abandoned village of Barbazzano (all 20 minutes). For more challenging hikes and mountain bike days, the Apuan Alps are about half an hour away by car. Even if you're not planning to scale any mountains, it's worth heading that way anyway to see the stunning marble caves of Carrara (35 minutes). Swing past Sarzana (10 minutes) on the way back to see some of that marble put to good use in the cathedral, before taking a wander around the ancient walls and fortress.
