  • Well-maintained park 15 minutes by car from the centre of Lecce
  • Half an hour's drive from the Adriatic and Ionian coasts
  • Bike and boat hire; camping store; airport and train shuttle
Holidaying on the heel of the boot? Park up at Salento Caravan and see the best of Apulia's cities, countryside and coastline. This well-maintained park for touring vehicles is a 15-minute drive from the city of Lecce and half an hour from Brindisi, and if you’re arriving without any transport, the supremely helpful staff of Salento Caravan can pick you up from the airport or the local train station. They’ll also rent you a bike if you’d like to pedal your way round the Baroque fantasyland that is Lecce, and boats if you’re aiming straight for the Adriatic or Ionian seas and beaches. Fret not if you’ve forgotten the tin opener or some other vital bit of kit, for there’s a well-stocked camping supplies store on site as well. And as for around the region? Some 18th-century travellers wept in wonder when they first saw Lecce: whether you join them, or you think its swirls and columns and gargoyles are bit much, you’ll certainly want a look. Take in the eye-bogglingly ornate 16th-century Basilica di Santa Croce, shop for local specialities in the twice-weekly markets held in Lecce since the Middle Ages, and peruse the trove of archaeological treasures in, on top of and under the 12th-century home of the Museo Faggiano. For the essentials, bars, restaurants and supermarkets are five minutes’ drive away, and barbecues are welcome back at base.

Liked: Degene die ons ontving. We stonden voor een autobedrijf of zoiets, totaal niet wetend dat de camping een honderd meter verder was. Maar hij kwam aan met z'n brommertje en hielp ons verder. Ik weet niet hoe jij heette, maar Grazie Mille. Volgens mij was zijn kantoortje 100 mtr verderop bij een campergarage.

Disliked: De ligging. Op een industrieterrein.

Local attractions

If you need a rest after the sensory assault of Lecce, make for the seaside. It’s around half an hour’s drive to resorts like San Cataldo on the Adriatic coast and Sant’Isidoro on the Ionian side, both equally popular with sun worshippers, swimmers, sandcastle builders and those seeking sporting action on the waters. If you’re a history buff, get over to Gallipoli (25 minutes), a virtual island city with ancient Greek origins and a 12th-century castle. The area around Roca Vecchia also beckons (40 minutes), with archaeological sites dating back to the Bronze Age and the Cave of Poetry, upon whose walls centuries of worshippers inscribed prayers in Greek, Latin and Messapian. Make some time for nature in among all that culture, with hikes and bike rides through the various local reserves and parks. About half an hour away on the Adriatic coast, the Bosco e Paludi di Rauccio Natural Regional Park and the WWF-protected Le Cesine reserve are remnants of the ancient forests and wetlands that once covered the region, filled with wild orchids and rare creatures like the Italian tree frog and the emerald green toad.
