The Italian Ligurian coast is known for the colourful villages of Cinque Terre, picturesquely positioned against the rocks above the sea. On that same steep coast, Camping Smeraldo is located on a rocky ridge above the clear blue water. Camping Smeraldo is a unique place for the somewhat adventurous campsite visitor. Once you have reached the place with your tent or motorhome, a special stay awaits you with the sea, beach and mountains playing a major role. You can also book a bungalow or apartment at this dream location.

A tunnel through the rocks to the campsite

You access the campsite in a unique way, namely, via a tunnel through the rocky coast. At one time, steam trains rode through this tunnel – now, you drive through it in your car. Although it is only possible for traffic to travel in one direction, this changes every twenty minutes, making your waiting time a maximum of twenty minutes.

The campsite is not suitable for very large recreational vehicles because of the width of the tunnel and the rocky terraces on which the pitches are located. Tent pitches are 4x4 metres and equipped with a shade sail. The pitches are paved, and all have a view of the sea. This also applies for the charming bungalows and apartments.

Sun, sea and beach

Camping Smeraldo is a perfect spot for those who love the sea and the beach. You can rent stand up paddleboards and canoes at the campsite. You walk from your tent straight to the pebble beach. Beach lounges are available for rent for wonderful long days by the water. The toilet blocks have both sitting and squatting toilets.

Liked - We loved this spot. Access through the tunnel system is so unique as is the site itself. They have everything organized perfectly from arrival to parking to departure. Dinner at the restaurant was super yummy. Front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Liked - The location is spot on! The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. They were great.
Fabulous accommodation! The little bungalow we stayed in for the first night was comfortable, exceptionally clean and incredible views of the sea.

Our second night we stayed in our camper van. Again, the same beautiful spot, with electricity, very clean showers and loos.
The restaurant is great- the MOST delicious pizza! Highly recommend this unusual but stunning setting !

Disliked - Shower block for campers ( although v clean) could do with updating. They are very small with nowhere to put your belongings whilst you are in the shower.

Liked - Die Aussicht war das Beste
Disliked - Der angegebene Fußweg ist kaum und n windigen Tagen gar nicht nutzbar. Durch den Tunnel kommen nur motorisierte Fahrzeuge …. Somit ist man recht abgeschnitten.
Die Plätze sind wie beschrieben sehr sehr eng. Wir hatten knapp nen Meter zum Vorder- und Hintermann und unser Platz war nach vorne zusätzlich auf 1,5 Meter begrenzt. Da das aber angegeben war, ist s okay.
