1/8

Family-friendly site with access to a sandy Ionian coast beach
Among spectacular scenery on the Badolato Marina
Bar-restaurant, summer entertainment and shop with local produce

Crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches and the Mediterranean climate… sure, you can get that in lots of places, but with Italian food and spectacular scenery too? At Camping La Rocca, on the Badolato Marina in the Calabria region of southern Italy, you get to settle down for the whole lot. You don’t have to go far to get the best of this part of Italy, as La Rocca is practically on the beach, with access from the site leading directly on to the Ionian coast where the sole of Italy meets the Mediterranean. Dip your toes in the sea while soaking up the stunning surroundings or get up to something a little more adventurous by skimming the surface on waterski, jetski or boat tour, or diving beneath it for snorkelling. Back on site, you can hit the courts for a tennis match, then potter over to the bar-restaurant for a bite and a drink before settling down for some of the evening entertainment. Keeping yourself to yourself is easy too – barbecues are allowed at La Rocca, and you can pick up food at the on-site shop stocked with local produce.

Local attractions

There’s plenty of history to dive into in Calabria: take a 20-minute drive down the coast to the Parco Archeologico dell’antica Kaulon to learn about the ancient colony of Magna Grecia, or head further afield to visit the stunning Carthusian monastery at Serra San Bruno; roam the ruins of the 11th-century Norman castle at Stilo, or uncover the past – literally – at Scolacium Archaeological Park. If you’re more of an adventurer than a historian and are willing to travel a bit, there’s plenty to keep you chuffed within easy reach. Have a hike to the highest waterfall in Calabria at Marmàrico an hour and a half from La Rocca, or travel the two hours to Aspromonte National Park and keep an eye out for wolves and falcons. The gorges, canyons and waterfalls of Valli Cupe are an hour and a quarter away. For a burst of high-octane thrills, Parco Avventura Adrenalina Verde should be on your list: test your strength on the climbing walls then head skyward by clambering into the trees to follow adventure routes; you can even bring the kids along. Reward yourself for all your adventuring with a stop at Cirimingiano Wines for lunch and a few glasses of the local vino, 15 minutes’ drive from the site.
