  • Seaside Calabria site with direct access to a private stretch of beach
  • A 10-minute drive from Diamante; 20 minutes from nature reserve walks
  • Beach games, family activities and restaurant on site
What a little gem this Calabria coastal site is… 10 minutes’ drive north of Diamante, Area Camper Ulisse is spread over 15,000 square metres of seaside woodland, with direct access to a private stretch of beach. That in itself is a pretty good start, but the folk here haven’t just relied on the fine location to keep their guests happy: nope, they’ve also ensured there’s plenty to do, and plenty to eat (both most important aspects). For the former, there’s a sand football area, a beach volleyball court and a pétanque court to play beachy games whenever you fancy, and the site staff organise a whole heap of activities including aqua gym classes, kids’ antics and jolly evenings of music, dancing and karaoke. And on the eats front? Kick off the day with top-notch coffee and freshly baked croissants, then settle in for tasty meals at lunch and dinner or graze your way through the day with fries and arancini accompanied by cooling handmade granita drinks. You may well be intending to spend a large chunk of your time here on the beach – and that’s not a bad plan at all, given that it’s right there and set up with comfy loungers, parasols and watersports kit. If you’re up for exploring, however, it won’t take longer than 20 minutes or so in the car to get down into Diamante for a wander, to head up into the foothills of the Valle del Fiume Argentino State Nature Reserve or to seek out local historic sights (or just find another beach, if that’s your idea of sightseeing…)

Liked: Everything! Friendly and very helpful staff. Honestly this family run camp site has the nicest staff ! From the barmaid with her lovely smile to the cleaner with his friendly "salve" or the night watchman welcoming you back from an evening in Diamante, Cosenza or Paola.. etc.) Not to forget the management, present friendly and loving their life.. Such lovely people (thank you for a brilliant holiday!) Very clean and excellent facilities, showers wash basins / crockery /Clothes etc. (Boring but important) .. The showers are clean and powerful! They separate everything even food waste. This is my first experience of my many years of camping in UK or abroad.. where waste is completely separated (but also there is plenty of room for the mixed un-separated rubish)*****!!!!!! So, to the more (much more) interesting stuff. Delicious dellicatessen with local produce (cacciocavallo, mozzarella, mortadella, olives, sopprasata etc etc). Daily Fresh fish from local fishermen, "peski fresca". Lovely lunch menu for Calabrian specialities (changes daily), ITS WHAT THE FAMILY SITS DOWN TO EAT AT LUNCH! I mean really.. they love what they do, what they cook who they are.. their love of life is infectious, exactly what we needed for our holiday! The bar is very reasonably priced, quality beers wines (and all manner of liquors) the coffee was eccellent quality. And as said food from their camp shop was delicious and fresh. The campsite has plots for any type of camper, any size tents to large mobile homes, we came with our campervan, they guided us in and told us if it wasn't suitable they could find us another plot..! I was worried the boys would be bored.. but the beach and the sea are unforgettable.. Crystal blue perfectly clean 💙 sea.. and beach.. We came with my elderly Father three young teenage boys and my dog.. We had a fabulous time. If you don't speak Italian they speak enough English, and there is "Google translate!" So don't let that put you off. To finish.. the other campers were a mix of old and young families.. mostly Italians.. all welcome but not suitable for loud/ young parties. Genuinely lovely summer vibe!

Liked: This is one of the nicest sites we've stayed in in Italy on our 9 week road trip.Firstly the toilets showers ,dishwasher area and bin area were immaculately clean regardless of what time of day or night you visited. They had a guy that really looked after them. Staff were terrific a helping hand if needed,great selection of fresh produce to be bought as well as a fresh fish and cheese vendor come round daily. Fabulous beach with clear blue waters meters away, There were all Italians there while we were and all were friendly and welcoming . Flat level pitches with good spaces.id give this place 10 stars if I could.

Disliked: NOTHING.

Liked: Sehr freundliche Betreiber.Saubere Anlage es ist immer überwacht. Wir haben etwas ruhigeres gesucht, dafür ist es perfekt gewesen. Es gibt in den nächstgelegenen Ortschaften herum genügend Möglichkeiten für Action. Direkt am Strand, Kiosk gut bestückt. Stellplatz schattig aber etwas verwurzelt, dennoch zum wohlfühlen.

Disliked: WLAN nur um dir Bar herum.

Electric grass and gravel tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We zijn heel prettig ontvangen. De mensen van de camping zijn heel vriendelijk en spreken gelukkig ook een beetje Engels. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is helemaal goed. De staanplaats en het sanitair was prima. De ligging is ideaal: rechtstreeks aan het strand. Het was het rijden uit Nederland waard.

Local attractions

Even if you’re reluctant to rise from your sun lounger, it’s worth making the effort to get down to Diamante (10 minutes’ drive) – it’s such a pretty town that it’s been used as the set for several TV shows and films, and it’s also a real hub for street art with more than 70 murals adorning its walls (can you spot them all?). Take in some of the area’s history while you’re out and about with trips to the ruins of Ruderi di Cirella (five minutes’ drive) and the seaside Torre Talao (10 minutes), or get to grips with traditions by finding out about local produce at Museo del Cedro (five minutes), spicing things up at the Chilli Museum (10 minutes) or checking out local clothing at Museo Arti Gusto Buonvicino (25 minutes). Sticking to the seaside, grazie? There are plenty of sandy stretches to seek out within a 20-minute drive, or you may like to take a trip to Cirella island – it’s 600 metres off the shoreline, so you can kayak over or pedal a pedalo.
