  • 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

Great location for Pisa & Cinque Terre, with shuttle. Praised for clean facilities, nice pool, friendly staff. Riverside setting & spacious pitches appreciated. Some noted road/event noise & dated facilities. Despite minor issues, many would return.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Location on the marina. We came to kayak so great to be able to get into the water easily and kayak to the beaches
Clean bathrooms. Plenty of hot water.
Convivial campsite bar and restaurant

Disliked The camping spot for tents is right next to the motorway. It wasn’t a great spot for campers. Very noisy road 24 hours à day.
Very expensive to pitch à tent. Thé most expensive place we stayed.

Liked Loved the Campsie and all staff .definitely go again

Disliked (Pitch up) don't find very helpful as our ferry to sardinia cancelled so we contacted our campsite to advice them and as we havnt been rescheduled with ferry company thought we would cancel within 3 days like cancellations said when we spoke to Campsite they said 3 weeks no refund. This is disgusting as it's out of our control and we have paid for campsite in full 300 plus euros. Won't be using pitch up again for lack of support and we've always used you and recommended your to our camping friends

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Campeggio molto bello, servizi impeccabili, al ristorante si mangia bene, peccato che fanno entrare persone esterne per matrimoni, cresime, comunioni, compleanni per cui la quiete per chi è in campeggio a rilassarsi non esiste più.
Per il natante in acqua senza alaggio e varo è troppo caro.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Un campeggio molto carino con piscine e tutti i servizi. C'è un autobus che parte dal resort, quindi parcheggiare è un gioco da ragazzi. Il resort in sé è carino e pulito, ed è un ottimo punto di partenza per esplorare Pisa, le Cinque Terre e altre località. La cittadina di Sarzana è molto affascinante, con numerosi supermercati, pub, ecc. nelle vicinanze. L'unico inconveniente è la strada statale che corre accanto al campeggio; non si vede, ma si sente. Nel complesso, tutta la mia famiglia è stata molto soddisfatta del soggiorno e torneremo sicuramente.

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.
