Camping Etruria is in a wonderful place in Tuscany. Located in a wooded area of pine and fir trees, this campground offers many shaded areas. But the absolute trump card is the wonderful (private) beach and sea, which you can walk right to from the campsite. Imagine: the kids are playing on the beach while you enjoy a cocktail at the beach bar. You can do all that here!
Camping Etruria is a real family campsite and is very suitable for children up to about 12 years old. There is plenty to do and the animation team organizes all kinds of activities. For older children, there may be a little less to do. At a short distance from the campsite there is plenty to discover and you will find the most beautiful villages. If you love the delicious Tuscan wine, then Camping Etruria is also the right place for you: wine excursions and tastings are offered here in abundance. If you want to spend a day in Pisa, Lucca or Volterra, that’s also perfectly doable. And the Cavallino Matto amusement park is almost next door, for a super fun day out.
At Camping Etruria you will enjoy a not too large campsite playfully set up among pine trees. The campground is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy to explore on foot, by bicycle or on horseback. In fact, next to the campground is an equestrian center. If you prefer to explore the area by mountain bike, there are several routes you can ride.
In the area in summer there are many markets and fairs with local products, such as the fish market in San Vincenzo or the wine festival “Calici di Stelle.” If you love wine, the area around Camping Etruria is attractive anyway. Follow the ancient wine trails for one of the many wine excursions that end with a tasting by default. Like wine, this part of Tuscany also produces a lot of olive oil.
The cozy town of Castagneto Carducci is a 15-minute drive from the campsite and is definitely recommended. This medieval town lies among the vineyards and offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Tuscan hills to the coast, across the vineyards, olive groves and fields.
If you want a more active day out, Cavallino Matto amusement park is a must. This amusement park is the largest in Tuscany and is located almost next to the campsite. It’s fun for all ages: there are playgrounds, a water ride, big rides and as many as six roller coasters, including several children’s roller coasters. The Freestyle roller coaster, however, is the most spectacular: in this roller coaster you do not sit but have to stand, while traveling down the track at 100km per hour. The Water Coaster Jurassic River is also a beautiful and special roller coaster.
If you don’t mind driving a little further, we recommend the fantastic cities of Pisa, Lucca and Florence. Or how about the beautiful villages of San Gimignano, Volterra and Bolgheri. A day in Elba is even a possibility. A half-hour drive away is the town of Piombina from where you take the boat crossing to Elba. So plenty to do!
If you are looking for a playful campsite, then Camping Etruria comes highly recommended. At this campground, you won’t find rigid straightforward pitches but the whole thing is playfully laid out. There are a total of about 600 pitches of about 80m2 and all are equipped with 6 ampere electricity hookups. The pitches are delineated by hedges and have a sand or grass surface.
You have a choice of two different sites in the campground: camping Pineta is located in the middle of the park and in the middle of nature. If you prefer to be closer to the beach and wake up to the sound of the sea, then camping Mare is for you.
Of course, you can also find rental accommodations at Camping Etruria. The rental accommodations all have shade and are well sheltered. You can choose from mobile homes, glamping and bungalow tents.
The mobile homes can accommodate up to 6 people, some of which also have two bathrooms. If you love glamping then rent a comfortable safari tent at this campground, equipped with a large wooden porch with awning. And how about the Airlodge: a luxury safari tent with an extra floor! Or book one of the lodge tents with wooden veranda or a bungalow tent for a real camping vacation.

The lovely lagoon-style swimming pool is a big plus at this campground. With the soft surface (non-skid) and the two different slides included, children will have lots of water fun here. The water is up to 40 cm deep so even the little ones can play there safely. They can go down the smaller slide, while the older children can slide down the big slide on an inflatable tube. So don’t forget to bring a swimming band from home. The fountains and waterfalls will also delight. Fun guaranteed!
The second pool is a deep pool and has a real wellness circuit and hydro massage. This pool is also heated, for optimal relaxation. This pool is not suitable for very active play, the lifeguards keep a close eye on this. So keep this in mind. By the way, wearing a swim cap is mandatory in the pool.
As mentioned earlier, the showpiece of Camping Etruria is the beach, directly accessible from the campsite. There is a wide sandy beach and the sea slowly deepens, allowing children to play safely. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available for rent and there is a beach volleyball court. There is also a playground where children can play. While you enjoy a cocktail, sitting at the beach bar. Or from a delicious pizza, because you can eat there too!
The animation team organizes fun activities daily, including on the beach. And if you bring your dog to this pet-friendly campground, there’s even a section of beach cordoned off where your dog is welcome. Recently, an electric train runs across the campground that drops you right at the beach.
You don’t have to leave the campground to eat good food. There is plenty of choice as there are no less than three restaurants at the campground. We will discuss them below.
At restaurant Centrale, as its name suggests, located centrally on the campground, you’ll eat typical Italian dishes. You can go there for a nice lunch or dinner. You have a choice of fish, meat and vegetarian dishes. Of course, pizza is also on the menu and children can choose from a variety of children’s menus. If you don’t feel like cooking but prefer to eat at your own accommodation, you can also pick up food here.
Near the pool you will find the second restaurant: La Fornace. Here you can also have lunch and dinner and enjoy traditional Tuscan cuisine with delicious appetizers, grilled meats and fish or salads.
Restaurant Bellavista overlooks the beach. At lunch, eat a salad or sandwich there. At night, it becomes a grill restaurant for a delicious dinner.
If you feel like having a drink, the beach bar is a good choice. Enjoying a delicious cocktail or other aperitif with your feet in the sand while the kids play on the beach or in the playground: that’s vacation! Until sunset you can come here for a nice drink and snack, how romantic!
If you don’t feel like thinking about food, Camping Etruria offers all kinds of packages. For example, you can book a Half Board package including breakfast and lunch or dinner. Thinking about nothing and just sitting there, that’s nice!
