  • Peaceful and rural campervan park 500 metres from Scialmarino beach
  • In Puglia’s Gargano National Park, 10 minutes’ drive from Vieste
  • Birdwatching on site; restaurants 10 minutes’ walk away
Looking for something unusual to do on your Italian sojourn? Perhaps it’s time to add birding to your list of holiday hobbies? Stay at Birdwatching Parking Zoe, in Gargano National Park in Puglia and 500 metres away from the beach, and you can do just that – it’s surrounded by Mediterranean macchia shrubs and small trees, just the environment where you’re likely to encounter grebes, teals, flamingoes and swifts among many others. But never fear, if one of your party just isn’t that interested in our feathered friends, this campervan park overlooks one of the loveliest bays in the Gargano: the crescent-shaped Scialmarino Beach (five minutes’ walk) is a popular hub of kite- and wind-surfing adventures, and its sandy stretches are backed by lively cafés and restaurants. The campervan park itself extends over an acre, offering guests an amount of privacy on spacious grass pitches partially shaded by olive trees. A simple facilities block is mere steps away, and there’s a small playground for kids who need to let off steam. As far as shopping goes, you can pick up essentials from the convenience store in Vieste (five minutes’ drive), and if you fancy a seafood feast in a beachside bar, you have plenty of choices within 10 minutes by car. Don’t fancy driving? The Vieste bus stops a minute or so’s walk from the pitches.

From the manager: Signor Maurer grazie per aver lasciato la Sua recensione, Ci spiace per il disagio creato dai cani del vicino. Durante il suo soggiorno ci siamo mossi per far spostare i cani ma non è bastato. Solamente oggi siamo riusciti a far trovare una soluzione più consona per loro ( li hanno spostati in un'altro luogo). Grazie per i cioccolatini :-)

Ottima organizzazione, c’è tutto quello che serve, i bagni sono nuovi e…

Local attractions

Sitting on its white cliffs in the protected Gargano National Park, ancient Vieste (10 minutes’ drive) has a small sandy beach as well as an atmospheric Romanesque cathedral and medieval castle to check out. Follow the castle walls to viewpoints over the whitewashed Old Town, or take a boat trip to the Baia delle Zagare to spy sea stacks and cliffside caves close up. Peschici (20 minutes) is another pretty town to explore, with a labyrinth of bar- and boutique-lined lanes. It’s also springboard for trips to the rocky beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs of the Tremiti Island (90 minutes by ferry), where you can snorkel and scuba dive in clear water, swim off sandy beaches and have a nose around the 11th-century hilltop Abbazia di Santa Maria a Mare. Back on the mainland, walk and cycle trails through the beach forest and Aleppo pines of Gargano National Park, keeping an eye open all the while for the rare orchids that bloom there. Still chasing a sighting of that elusive bird? Keep the binoculars handy at all times on your jaunts.
