from 7 reviews Write review

The North Italian campsite Campeggio Valle Gesso is situated close to the French border. You are camping here on the edge of the magnificent Maritime Alps Natural Park. This is an excellent spot for (mountain)hiking enthusiasts. There is also a 'via ferrata' in the vicinity, a safe mountain climbing route for beginners. The village of Entracque is within walking distance. Here you will find a few restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

Magnificent mountain view

The well maintained campsite of Campeggio Valle Gesso is laid out in terraces and has a vegetation of deciduous trees, providing ample shade. The pitches are spacious, you have to park your car elsewhere. Caravans, mobile homes and tents are in separate sections. Each pitch offers a view of the mountains. There are rental chalets. There are two neat ablution blocks on the campsite.

Swimming laps with a view

Each person has been catered for in the swimming pool area: there is a playful pool with water slide, a toddler pool with a depth of 60 cm with a mushroom water feature, a pool for swimming lengths and a sunbathing terrace with loungers and sun umbrellas. There is also a whirlpool. Bathing caps are compulsory here. From the swimming pool you have a splendid view of the surrounding mountain landscape.

Sports entertainment for the entire family

Children can enjoy themselves in the playground with climbing equipment, slides and seesaws. Also fun: challenge each other to a game of table tennis and table football. Furthermore, there are soccer and volleyball fields, a pool table and a petanque court.

The beautiful area with water falls, streams, rocks and alpine meadows is extremely suitable for all kinds of outdoor sports. For instance: mountaineering, mountain hiking, fishing, rafting and horse riding. The campsite offers guided walking tours and excursion programmes.

Travelling party: Family with children, 12 - 18 years

We hebben deze camping bezocht in de zomervakantie van 2024 met 2 volwassenen en 3 pubers. We hebben echt een fantastische tijd gehad.
De camping heeft zeker voor italiaanse begrippen erg grote plaatsen. Het zwembad is ronduit geweldig. en het personeel in het barretje heel gezellig en relaxed. Je kunt in het winkeltje de hoogst nodige spullen kopen en het dorp is op een paar minuten lopen te berijken.
Onze kinderen hebben echt een geweldige tijd gehad met leeftijdsgenoten.
Manuela en Fabrizio zijn geweldig. Ze doen er echt alles aan om je van dienst te zijn. Ik zou zeggen tot volgend jaar

Travelling party: Family with children, various ages

Een week op deze camping gestaan, maar het viel helaas erg tegen. ‘Tentenveld’ erg vol (en vooral NL-ers, moet je van houden). Worden veel mensen op een kleine ruimte gestopt. Zwembad mooi, maar veel te klein voor aantal mensen. Geen wifi (ook niet in de chalets!). Veel luidruchtige mensen. Honden die de hele nacht blaffen… jammer, want omgeving is erg mooi.

Travelling party: Couple

Grote camping mooi gelegen tussen de bergen. Het nieuwe sanitair ruimte is modern ingericht, maar (te) klein voor het aantal kampeerders. De oude sanitair ruimte is aan een opknapbeurt toe. Personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Volop speelmogelijkheden voor kinderen, daardoor voor ouderen soms rumoerig. Geen eetmogelijkheid op camping, klein winkeltje voor minimum items. Sportfaciliteiten op orde, groot voetbalveld en een uitstekend zwembad. Omgeving is prachtig, wandelen en fietsen in de directe buurt mogelijk. Veel routes zijn bewegwijzerd.

Voor Italiaanse begrippen heeft deze camping mooie ruime plaatsen, deels in een bos. Het sanitair is luxe en modern. De zwembaden hebben een fenomenaal uitzicht en hebben voor ieder wat wils.
Er zijn veel sportfaciliteiten.
Af en toe is er animatie.
De camping is gunstig geprijsd!

Hi om positief te beginnen de omgeving is prachtig, op de camping was het persneel erg onvriendelijk ook tegen de kids. Het sanitair was vaak niet goed schoon alles draait hier om snel geld verdienen met zo weinig mogelijk moeite. Ons zien ze hier niet meer terug!

Matige camping brood is duur en niet echt lekker. Het sanitair is behoorlijk verouderd en wordt niet al te best schoongemaakt. Het personeel is kort af en weinig behulpzaam. Voor de geboden kwaliteit is de camping erg duur.
