Campsites in Tuscany

Some argue that a camping holiday is the perfect way to reconnect with the world and return to a long-lost ancestral way of life. Others, however, won’t hear of it. Whether you love it or loathe it, there’s no denying that Tuscany is a destination that lends itself exceptionally well to a camping holiday.

For starters, the extensive Tuscan coastline is dotted with campsites of every type and price range, stretching from the far north at Marina di Massa all the way to the border with Lazio along the Maremma coast. But set aside the stereotype of seaside camping for a moment—in Tuscany, you can camp in the countryside inland too: holiday parks are plentiful near medieval villages, in the heart of the countryside, or even in the centre of Florence.

A camping holiday in Tuscany often comes with the chance to enjoy spectacular views, as these facilities are typically nestled in beautiful natural surroundings. Don’t assume that camping simply means pitching a tent and sleeping on the ground: many sites offer plenty of creature comforts, from the option of renting bungalows to fully-fledged mobile homes. Facilities abound too, from toilets to swimming pools, along with children’s play areas and relaxation zones for adults.

If you’re a camping enthusiast, Tuscany will truly astound you with the breadth of its accommodation options. If the idea of this type of holiday doesn’t appeal, try it at least once: with the beauty of these places on your side and your preconceptions set aside, you’ll have an unforgettable few days.
