Camping a'Zania
View prices & book
- Scenic rural Tuscany site 800m above sea level in the Apuan Alps
- A 10-minute drive to the popular ‘Le Rocchette’ climbing site
- Terraced pitches for fabulous views; warden on site at all times
What a view – Camping a’Zania sits at 800 metres above sea level, with fabulous views over the surrounding mountains of the Apuan Alps Regional Natural Park. And there’s no need to fight over who gets the best spot here, either, as the site has been terraced across five levels to provide an equally excellent outlook for all guests.
That’s just one of the thoughtful features at this Tuscany site, which maintains its peaceful natural atmosphere by asking guests to leave cars and other vehicles outside the pitching area so that everyone can enjoy some countryside quiet time.
They’ve also installed an electric car charging point (fee applies), along with a coin-operated washing machine, a drinking water tap and bathroom blocks (with a total of 14 toilets and six showers). Need a hand with anything? There’s always a warden on site to dish out useful advice.
In high season, a restaurant opens up next to the site for easy meals. For other eats, bring along supplies to use the barbecue area on site (perhaps using some sage, rosemary or other herbs from the bushes around it) or see what’s on the stalls at the weekly Wednesday market in the local village (local honey, wine and cheese are often top picks). Gallicano and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana (both 25 minutes’ drive) have supermarkets for any other things you might need.
In between spates of admiring the views from the pitches, you can head out nearby for hiking and climbing or visit adventure parks and show caves.

Local attractions
Start by exploring your immediate surroundings – a waymarked hiking trail starts just outside the site, and the popular ‘Le Rocchette’ climbing site is about 10 minutes’ drive or an hour’s walk away. A shorter trail of 15 minutes leads to the little church of Parrocchia Di Sant'Antonio In Alpe. Whichever you choose, tread quietly and you may well spot antelopes, owls and other wildlife as you walk or climb.
A little further afield, there are more hikes at places like Monte Nome del Gesù and Piglionico (both 15 minutes’ drive) or around the Cascata "Della Pendolina” (40 minutes). Canyoning, caving and guided treks are available at Parco Avventura Levigliese (35 minutes), or you can get underground without scrambling at Grotta del Vento (45 minutes) to see stalactites and crystal-fringed subterranean lakes.
To dip back into urban life you could take a wander around the ancient walls and fortress of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana (25 minutes) or head off to Lucca (an hour), an attractive place known as the 'city of a hundred churches’.
