Tent pitched in the pinewood

  • In a pinewood forest on the Tuscany coast
  • A kilometre from the beach via an easy walking path
  • Restaurant, bar and free shared barbecues
Spread over ten hectares of pinewood forest on the Tuscany coast near Grosseto lies handsome and family-friendly Camping La Principina, a kilometre from blue Tuscan waters easily reached via a walking path. Excursions and trips into the region are arranged at reception and bike hire is available for pedals to the beach or around the area. If you'd rather relax at base, the site team arranges activities and entertainment for all ages from mid-June until the end of August; for sorting your own days out, there are two boules courts, a sports field and a beach volleyball court, all open from June. Free shared barbecues are available on site and the site's supermarket sells fresh bread every day. If you'd rather someone else did the cooking, the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and the pizzeria serves stonebaked pizzas at dinner time; takeaway service is available on request. The bar serves coffees and drinks from morning to night. Camping La Principina also has toilet blocks with hot water showers (for an extra charge), disabled facilities and washing machines and dryers; sinks for clothes and dish washing, and chemical toilet drains.

What customers say

This campsite offers spacious, shaded pitches and is praised for its friendly staff and cleanliness. It's conveniently located, with the beach accessible by a pleasant walk or cycle. Amenities are generally well-maintained, though some find the facilities dated. Families appreciate the entertainment options. However, some guests report noise from evening entertainment and occasional issues with amenities like missing toilet paper or soap. The distance to the beach is noted by some as longer than expected.

Electric optional grass and earth tent pitch (pinewood, small, two person)

Liked Cheap

Disliked Facilities were not clean; they gave us the smallest place possibile squeezed between two other tents; and last but the most important issue, the quiet time (00-08) was never respected, neither by the people nor by the staff. And we heard complaints by everyone for that

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch (pinewood)

Liked Campeggio super. Animazione top. Tutti i servizi disponibili e ben funzionanti.
Piazzole sotto la pineta.
Personale attento ad ogni esigenza e cordiale. Ci torneremo sicuramente

Disliked Unica nota stonata la lontananza dal mare ma è possibile comunque accedere con navetta solo se si noleggia il lettino ombrellone in pioggia al bagno del campeggio

Electric optional grass and earth touring pitch (pinewood)

Liked Großzügige Stellplätze und die gute Nähe zum Strand.

Disliked Die Sanitäranlagen sind unterirdisch. Das es so etwas noch in der heutigen Zeit gibt, ist einfach unglaublich. Unsauber, total blinde Spiegel , keine Seife, kein Papier. Also überhaupt kein Ort, an dem man sich gern fertig macht. Auch sehr störend ist die extrem laute Animation bis tief in die Nacht hinein. Für uns war es nur ein kurzer Zwischenstopp. Diesen Platz würden wir definitiv nicht mehr anfahren.

Local attractions

Camping La Principina is in a super setting for those who want to combine a spot of Tuscan relaxing with a spot of Tuscan culture – and all in a scenic pinewood a kilometre from a long and sandy beach. The surroundings are filled with archaeological sites (Vetulonia, Roselle and Populonia), medieval villages (Pitigliano, Magliano and Massa Marittima) and natural parks (Maremma and Val di Cornia). It's also a land of thermal waters – the most famed sites are Saturnia, Sovana and Sorano – and of islands: Giglio, Giannutri and Elba are easily reachable with daily connections from the local ports. Hikers have several paths to traverse in the valleys at the slope of Mount Amiata; Marina di Grosseto is five kilometres away and is connected to the site via a cycling trail. Castiglione della Pescaia and Grosseto are about 11 kilometres away, and Florence and Rome are both within a couple of hours' drive.
