Oak and pine forest setting on the green hills of Montalbano
Spectacular views and peaceful setting an hour from Florence
Pools, bar and restaurant; bike, e-bike and car rentals

Real pretty… and pretty fine. Bag a break at Tuscany's Camping Barco Reale for a fab forest setting within easy day trip distance of Florence, and where you can pitch up among oaks and pine trees among spectacular views: do, immediately, see pics… This lush spot is on the viewsome hills of Montalbano, famed for their rich green landscapes, plentiful vineyards and the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci – and he apparently knew a thing or two about stunning sights. It's a kilometre and a half from the tourist town of San Baronto, 25 minutes' drive from Pistoia (Italian city of culture back in 2017, arty sorts) and just under an hour by car from Florence (or an hour and 20 minutes by bus). You'll need to slip several site-based days into your Barco Reale itinerary too, even if your ambitions rise no further than idling around the grounds gazing contentedly into the distance. Should you feel slightly more active, there are gorgeous pools – with gorgeous views – for alfresco dips, and sports and games fields for gently competitive afternoons. The team also arranges a good selection of activities all day long in summer, from cooking lessons to evening musicals. Bike, electric bike and car rental are all available on site, as is a horse riding service if you'd rather trot off into the hills instead. You can also book active adventures including canyoning, caving, climbing, coasteering, mountain biking and via ferrata trips with Barco Reale's sister company: ask for details when you arrive. A bar and restaurant are also on site.

What customers say

This well-managed Tuscan campsite offers stunning views and a tranquil vibe, perfect for hikes and bike rides. Guests rave about the spotless pool, clean facilities, and great restaurant. Pitches are roomy and shaded, though can get muddy after rain. Wi-Fi is spotty, and there are extra fees for pool loungers. Some found signage poor and access tricky for big RVs, with occasional issues regarding staff and check-in.

Liked Pulizia dei bagni.

Disliked . L'accesso nell'area piscina per i cani è vietato, non pretendo che il cane faccia il bagno, ma per una coppia con un cane è un problema e abbiamo scelto di non usufruire sia della piscina che della spa, vedere la gente divertirsi e rinfrescarsi in piscina mentre noi eravamo a 40° gradi è stato pessimo e triste.
. Le vie del campeggio non sono illuminate abbastanza e non ci sono segnali, solo i numeri delle piazzole, spesso piccoli e poco visibili di giorno, figuriamoci di notte.
. Impossibile mangiare una pizza seduti al tavolo, abbiamo tentato ma nulla, tutto occupato, tutto prenotato, il barista ci diceva "eeeh gli olandesi!!!", ma noi ai tavoli sentivamo diversi italiani e non c'era verso che si alzassero dopo aver finito, quindi inutile sperare di mangiare anche in un eventuale secondo turno perché questi stavano lì tutta sera e basta.
. I prezzi di ogni cosa sono maggiorati, nel minimarket costavano il doppio, ci serviva una cosa e siamo dovuti uscire e abbiamo colto l'occasione per mangiare visto che da voi è stato impossibile.
. Ritornando al divieto di ingresso nell'area piscina, siamo andati a chiedere all'info point, che tra l'altro non c'era nessuno, per chiedere se fosse possibile entrare col cane solo dove c'erano le sdraio per farci fare il bagno uno alla volta e in qualche modo ci saremmo goduti dei momenti, la ragazza ha fatto una chiamata (a mio parere finta), e ci ha liquidato con un bel "andate a sentire il bagnino", bene, bagnino inesistente.
. Il pagamento anticipato non mi è piaciuto, nemmeno nell'hotel chiedono il pagamento anticipato. E di fatti il checkout non esiste. Il checkout serve anche per un saluto e per ringraziare, ma tanto non serve e quindi nulla.

Liked Locatie boven op de heuvel en het uitzicht zijn prachtig. Goeie fietsen te huur, fijn restaurant, lekker zwembad, lekkere ijsjes, relaxte natuur, en allerlei prachtige steden/dorpen vlakbij! Plekken zijn echt mooi, schaduw, goede sanitairvoorzieningen. Prima camping!

Disliked Hoge prijzen voor bv uurtje whirlpool (80Euro) of gebruik maken van de auto-oplader (sessie kost 40E plus de stroom). En 95% van de gasten was Nederlands, dat is me wat veel en had ik niet verwacht. Heel slechte wifi (top!), dat is er alleen op de verzamelplek van de pubers bij het restaurant, maar ook nauwelijks 4G/5G op de hele camping, dus echt weinig bereik - dat is ergens wel fijn natuurlijk, maar ook wel onpraktisch in 2026.

Ortensia Garden 3 bedroom mobile home (six person)

Liked Mooi aangelegde camping. Sfeervol en verzorgd, plekken met veel schaduw. Voor alle leeftijden leuk. Tenminste als je niet slecht ter been bent. Fantastisch zwembad met een mooi uitzicht. Binnen een straal van +/- een uur rijden veel te zien en te doen. Op de camping kun je lekker eten. Maar ook in de dorpjes en Pistoia genoeg keus.

Disliked Het is geen goedkope camping en dat je dan in het hoogseizoen moet betalen voor een ligbedje bij het zwembad? Ook is de slechte wifi niet meer van deze tijd.

Local attractions

These green hills are a mighty popular region for biking, so hire wheels from the Barco Reale team and set off with picnic and camera. Local town San Baronto has easy access to some stellar cycling along the Montalbano pass and down to the valleys: the towns of Pistoia and Prato are 15 and 25 kilometres from here for scenic cycling day trips. By car, it's 20 minutes to Vinci, birthplace – but of course – of one arty Leonardo. A potter around here is highly recommended if you're in the region, to visit the Museo Leonardiano and see some of the inventions the great one sketched in his famed notebooks, and to amble around his birthplace house Casa Natale di Leonardo. As well as Florence (an utter must-see), day trip options include Lucca, 50 minutes' drive away and Pisa, around an hour and 10 minutes. Less culturally, but probably more popular with the kids, the Pinocchio Park in Collodi is 50 minutes away.
