  • 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 spacious, shaded pitches, often by the river, and is praised for its clean facilities, friendly staff, and good swimming pool. It's well-located for exploring the region, with a convenient shuttle service to the train station. However, some guests mention dated sanitary facilities, occasional noise from nearby roads or events, and a lack of certain amenities like toilet paper. Mosquitoes can also be an issue.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan pitch

Liked The camping was lovely set on the river. We chose a pitch far away from the bins. The swimming pool was good. Did not use the restaurant. The shuttle bus to the station was driven by Giovanni who went out of his way for us as there was a train strike.

Disliked Far from anywhere.
No paper in the toilets and some seats a bit wobbly

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Pitch was pretty level but could have done with a tidy up. The facilities were clean . The swimming pool gets top marks .

Disliked Toilet seats need to be replaced . When booking in the lady on reception was more interested in continuing her telephone call than giving information,a bit rude . Best to pitch middle of the grounds as there is a waste treatment plant at the end which when the wind is in the wrong direction can be a bit whiffy.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Le système de navette (payant quand même) pour aller à Sarzana(10€ aller retour pour 2 pour 10-15 mn de route).Le chauffeur était très gentil,a mis tous les moyens pour que notre périple aux 5 terres se passe bien .
Emplacement relativement grand.

Disliked Accueil réception moyen .
Trop de moustiques.
Grand fossé entre les photos du site et la réalité.(piscine,propreté,vue sur la marina etc…)
Sanitaires très « vieillots »,pas de savon ,pas de papier toilette et très vétustes.
Trop de bruit le soir.
Amabilité du bar très moyenne.
Épicerie très chère et peu fournie.
Trop proche de la route ,de la zone industrielle.
Les alentours ne sont ni beaux,ni accueillants.
Le prix à la nuit est très excessif ,cela ne les vaut pas .
Nous ne reviendrons pas .

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.
