On the outskirts of the town of Agropoli (five minutes’ drive or a 15-minute walk), in the Cilento area of the Italian region of Campania, Tende Sotto Le Stelle is a peaceful, family- and dog-friendly spot where grassy pitches come with views of distant forest-covered hills. The name of the site translates as ‘tents under the stars’, and indeed, as darkness falls, you’ll be treated to the spectacle of the vast night sky – a pretty decent way to round out a day spent… at the seaside, maybe? Agropoli anchors the southern tip of the Gulf of Salerno, and the town has a long sandy beach with several establishments hiring out sun loungers and umbrellas. The waters along this stretch of coast, which includes the Santa Maria di Castellabate protected marine area (35 minutes), are pretty spectacular, so it’s worth considering a snorkelling or scuba diving trip with a local outfit. You might end up swimming alongside fish, crustaceans and turtles. Back at the beach, when you start to get hungry, you won’t have far to go, since pizzerias and seafood restaurants line the palm tree-shaded promenade. Speaking of food… the friendly owner of Tende Sotto Le Stelle provides a barbecue for her guests, who can stock up on provisions at the grocery shop just down the road (10 minutes’ walk) or drive into town for a wider range of options. The site comes with a toilet block with showers and a drying room, plus charging facilities and recycling points.

Liked: Se cercate un’oasi di relax tra Baia di Trentova e Agropoli questo é il posto giusto. Posizione davvero ottima (occhio non é Via Belvedere 13, su maps potete cercare Centro Visite Trentova - Agropoli, Tende sotto le stelle sta al cancello di fronte), posto fresco, ombra ottima dietro il melo e il pero che regge fino alle 10.30/11. Non immaginatevi un camping gigante o super attrezzato, é una piccola oasi di pace, tra orto e alberi da frutto. Il bagno é “anni 50” ma funzionale, un bagno esterno dove ci sono doccia e wc incastonati tra mandarini e passiflora. Nonostante sul sito non fosse scritto che avremmo avuto a disposizione elettricità, acqua e frigo, dal momento che c’eravamo solo noi, Maria ha messo a disposizione tutti questi servizi. Maria é la proprietaria, una vera cilentana, fuori dagli schemi, vulcanica, ma soprattutto con un cuore gigante. Se siete il tipo di persona che non avete problemi ad aprirvi e ad accogliere chi si apre con voi, con Maria andrete sicuramente d’accordo. Alla base di tutto c’é condivisione: di una chiacchiera, di una fetta di melone, della frutta che cade dai suoi alberi. Difficile non essere conquistati dalla sua compagnia. Se avete difficoltà ad accettare anche solo il caffè che fa la mattina, evitate questo posto ed evitate il Cilento in generale, qua la gente é così, se ha una briciola la spacca a metà e non vede l’ora di condividere e stare insieme…noi di questa terra ci siamo innamorati e da Maria ci torneremo prima o poi!

Disliked: Siamo in mezzo alla natura, per cui ci sono animali di vario tipo che magari possono dare fastidio a chi non è abituato. Tra tutti i fiori e le piante che ci sono é normale incontrare vespe, ma si vedono anche topolini di campagna. Per noi questo non é rappresenta un problema, unica cosa portatevi qualcosa contro le zanzare perché sennò mentre guardate le stelle la notte vi mangiano

Liked: We are an English couple hiking along the Italian west coast that were looking for a cheap campsite to stay in and Tende sotto Le Stelle was everything we wished for and more. The place is a bit hard to find but Maria was super helpful on the phone and text to help us find it. Maria is a warm and generous lady that accommodated us so well ; she gave us tomatoes from her garden, drove us to the station when we left, made us delicious Italian coffee and showed us where to go in the area. It was like living in the 50s on a rural farm. The beach is also a 3 min walk and Agropoli a 20 min walk along the coast. I highly recommend staying here - it is beautiful and very homely. Loads of space to relax under the sun and in the shade.

Local attractions

History buffs ought not to miss the Archaeological Park of Paestum (15 minutes’ drive), with its well-preserved Greek temples dating back to the fifth century BC. The Greek colony known as Poseidonia subsequently became Paestum, a settlement of the Romans, who built a forum, sanctuaries and an amphitheatre. A modern museum houses artefacts excavated in this area. There are several hiking trails on forested Monte Tresino (half an hour), from where you can also take in splendid views of the coastline. Stop at the Villaggio Abbandonato di San Giovanni, a ghost town with stone buildings including a 10th-century church and the ruins of a couple of medieval towers. A UNESCO Global Geopark, the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni (55 minutes) is home to otters, wolves and hares, plus birds like shrikes and woodpeckers. This vast natural area is marked by karst cave systems, limestone gorges and waterfalls.
