  • Well-maintained and peaceful park in Umbria
  • Traditional cuisine served at the on-site restaurant
  • Outdoor pool and wine shop
There shouldn't be much difficulty in sourcing stuff to see and do in this spectacular part of Perugia. But if you find yourself dithering about just what to sample (for there really is mucho stuff to see and do), just find friendly owners Francesca and Daniela, who've run Camping Rio Verde for over a decade. The pair will happily share their many tips on the local region – top restaurants, local attractions and secret spots nearby all included. You could, for example, canter along to the horse riding centre within 100 metres to venture out into this splendid Umbrian countryside by horseback… or ask for advice on the many mountain bike and hiking trails in the immediate surroundings; the team can help you arrange your trips. The site is well set up for lazy Italian days too (eats and drinks mostly, but of course): the scent of freshly-baked bread, croissants and espresso wafts about in the morning, and the restaurant serves local specialties of organic produce, most from the Rio Verde veg garden and farm (fettuccine with truffle mushrooms, anyone…?). There's a wine shop too, for sampling the finest Italian vinos with your eats or later back at your berth in this peaceful wooded valley. Other facilities – should you stir from the restaurant and wine shop – include an outdoor pool, a food shop (again, but of course) and free wifi. For supplies and urban days, Camping Rio Verde is five kilometres from local village Costacciaro. Further afield, Perugia and Assisi are each within 55 minutes' drive.

Powered grass motorhome site

Liked: Beautiful natural setting. Quiet. Host was very pleasant.

Disliked: We had difficulty getting a pitch long enough for our 9 meter rig. Also, the road up to the campsite had some rough and narrow spots which were hard for us to manoeuver. Would recommend for a smaller motorhome or camper van.

From the manager: gentilissimi Signori, siamo spiacenti che siate arrivati al momento della pausa pranzo della reception e non abbiate chiesto prima di sistemarvi. vi avremmo consigliato un posto servito da wifi e adatto al vostro camper. certo le forti pioggie non hanno favorito la situazione. per quanto riguarda la strada di accesso al camping non dipende da noi ma dall'amministrazione comunale pur da noi spesso sollecitata a migliorare la strada. peraltro sono venuti spesso pullman e grandi camper da 43 anni senza avere mai problemi. cerchiamo di fare di tutto per mettere a loro agio i nostri ospiti, ci spiace che non abbiate potuto restare. cordialmente francesca

Luogo sicuro, tranquillo e cordiale.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site (large)

Liked: Il campeggio è situato in luogo meraviglioso! Lontano dal centro abitato di Costacciaro, in mezzo alla natura che e con poco inquinamento luminoso ci ha permesso di osservare delle lacrime di San Lorenzo ossia, le stelle cadenti! È luogo rilassante e soprattutto sicuro e tranquillo! Personale molto disponibile e cordiale in particolare Francesca. Assolutamente consiglio a tutti ed a chi a figli. Per me da ripetere.

Disliked: Una nota cui devo segnalare che ( vero che la gente deve essere più rispettosa e pulita) FORTE CARENZA PULIZIA WC, DOCCE, poi molte porte non aveva la chiusura, il porta carta igienica ed avvolte -anche se c’era il porta carta igienica non mancava spesso proprio la carta stessa. ( vero che si va per rilassarsi e staccare da tutto) , ma in caso di necessità Migliorare la potenza del Wi-Fi, poiché la linea cellulare è scarsa.

From the manager: grazie mille sia per le belle parole sia per i suggerimenti! per le pulizie forse siete capitati in un momento di grande affluenza, ci spiace molto perchè è una delle nostre priorità. riguardo alla carta igienica abbiamo trovato spesso tutti i foglietti buttati in terra, evidentemente non tutti gli ospiti sono rispettosi. certo il wifi è difficile con la nostra meravigliosa alberatura, dunque solo nella zona del bar ristorante e reception prende forte. Abbiamo installato il sistema satellitare vista la difficoltà delle linee via cavo, ed abbiamo 100 mega a disposizione. forse eravate in una piazzola lontana dalla zona wifi, ci spiace. cercheremo di migliorare. cordialmente francesca

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Very friendly and helpful staff, fresh bread daily. Family run site with plenty of activities within the local area. All modern amenities and nice and clean. My only suggestion to improve the showers it to provide a squeezy mop to dry floor when finished. There is a pool bar and restaurant if required I just like to site in a quiet environment and people watch. Plenty of room for kids to play safely on the grass or in the play area.

Local attractions

The small village of Costacciaro is most famed for the Monte Cucco caves, 10 minutes' drive or about 45 minutes' walk from the site, and open to the public for an 800-metre stretch. More caves are at Frasassi, 45 minutes away, where huge caverns are stuffed with stalactites and stalagmites and among the most famed caves in Italy. About an hour's drive will land you at Monte Catria, for cable cars up to its peak as well as a mountain bike park and hiking trails around its terrain. Kids will likely appreciate the adventure park at the mountain's top, with a huge playground, bouncy castle and lines for zipwiring. You could spend days horse riding, hiking or mountain biking around this section of Perugia countryside, but if you're up for city days (you should, for they're fab), drive along to Assisi to see its stunning Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi, two castles and Roman amphitheatre. Gubbio (30 minutes) is home to the colourful race of the Corsa dei Ceri, held every May, and Fabriano (35 minutes) is well worth a look as one of Italy's two towns in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (the other is Bologna).
