  • Peaceful terraced site overlooking the valley of Lake Barrea
  • Near Barrea village in Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park
  • Surrounded by scenic walking, cycling, horse riding and driving routes
Take a look at this for a spectacular setting – the views from here are really quite something, surrounded by mountains in all directions and overlooking Lake Barrea four kilometres away. The site itself is also pretty excellent: Camping La Genziana lies 1,100 metres above sea level across two grassy hectares, with terraced pitches surrounded by acacia, maple and beech trees. It’s all set half a kilometre from the village of Barrea, right in the middle of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, and with smashing views towards the Mount Greco massif from the top of the site. You’ll receive a friendly welcome from well-travelled owner Pasetta, who expertly ensures his guests have everything they need to make the most of this splendid mountain setting: talk to him about the various hikes that lead directly from the site, as well as which villages in the area to visit, and what wildlife to look out for around the locale. This is a simple and well-maintained site that won’t leave you wanting for a thing (except a longer stay) – toilet roll is provided, showers are hot, the sinks are sectioned off to make your daily cleansing routine a little more private, and there’s also a hairdryer to help you blow dry your barnet back into order once you’re done. A washing machine is available for use too for a small fee, and an iron is also on hand to straighten out your garments before donning them on your next adventure.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked Gute Lage.

Disliked Dusch-und Waschräume schmutzig.
Außerdem viele große Spinnen und Ungeziefer.
Auf der Webseite wurde beschrieben, dass abends frisch gegrillt wird. Wir haben weder eine Art Restaurant oder Grill gesehen. Es gibt lediglich einen Minishop mit Getränken und Chips. Sonst nichts!

Besitzer bzw. das Personal war nicht sonderlich freundlich.

Local attractions

Your walking boots will be put to good use around here: direct from the site are several hiking routes, and the local village of Barrea is a popular departure point for moderately flat and short hikes in the surrounding parkland. You can get up on a horse or get yourself on two wheels to explore the area too, on the mountain biking and horse riding trails for all abilities around Barrea and the wider national park. There are also spectacularly scenic driving and cycling routes around the mountain passes of Gran Sasso d'Italia, Maiella, Sirente and Velino. Lake Barrea, four kilometres from base (the view from the site is so clear you might just think you can dive in from your pitch), is the place to hire pedalos and windsurfing boards for something active, or if you’re feeling a little lazy, umbrellas and comfy sunbeds for lounging days.
