In La Spezia, in a valley on the Ligurian coast, you will find camping La Sfinge. This simple terraced campsite is an ideal operating base from which to visit Cinque Terre and Portofino. The free shuttle bus takes you in less than ten minutes to Deiva Marina, where you'll find not only the train station, but also the beach.

Popular with tent campers

La Sfinge is a friendly campsite with limited space. On less than two hectares you'll find over a hundred touring pitches, twenty permanent pitches and almost forty rental accommodations. Therefore the pitches are tight, but they do differ in size. Because they are hardly delimited, you unfortunately have less privacy. The terrain is sloping, with many terraces and stairs.

On the lower part of the campsite there are pitches for caravans and camper vans. The tent pitches are higher, on shady terraces. From the higher part of the campsite you have a beautiful view over the valley.

For a short stay

Although it is often busy at the campsite, especially in high season, it is always quiet. Most campers only come here to shower and sleep. On the campsite itself there is not much to do. There is no swimming pool, entertainment or restaurant, not even a campsite shop. Luckily there is a supermarket and an Italian restaurant at hundred meters from the campsite.

Clean sanitary facilities

The sanitary facilities on the campsite are excellent: a bit dated, but spotless, with nice showers. Do you want to relax for a day? The shuttle bus will take you to Deiva Marina beach in ten minutes.

€21 per night during lowseason

Liked - This is a Very friendly camping with beautiful tent pitches. Lots of nature, relaxed atmosphere. Bus shuttle to Deiva Marina is Nice and also the supermarket just 50 meters from the camping is very comfortable
Disliked - The sanitair could be improved. Although big compliment for the cleaning lady. She is doing a really Good Job.

Maybe the text in booking could be a bit more nuanced. For example it says that the shuttle bus is going every 10 minutes all Year round. This is clearly not the case. Also the bus is a bit old and dirty on the inside

Liked - A really good site with nice clean facilities in a quiet location within easy reach of main town and railway links courtesy of the site shuttle bus service (free). Whilst staying here I had a slight medical problem, the hosts could not have been more helpful to me, they were incredibly kind.

Liked - Upon arrival, reception was very welcoming and extremely helpful with relevant local information. Our campervan pitch was completely flat and nicely shaded from the Sun. The facilities for sharing washing and toilets were very clean and lots of them. The bus service into Town was very frequent very quick and worked extremely well for us.
Disliked - Note: If you intended to use 10 packs Note that the ground is extremely hard, You will need steel nail type pegs to penetrate the ground, The aluminium ones that I had were useless, Not a fault of the campsite, my oversight.
