This campsite near a rocky beach presents a deeply conflicting experience, where a beautiful natural setting is overshadowed by persistent operational failures. The landscape, dotted with old olive trees, offers some shaded pitches that are pleasant, particularly in the milder months. However, the sanitary facilities are a recurring, serious disappointment: they are described as outdated, cramped, and often dirty, with cold water for washing up and showers that require payment for a brief, lukewarm flow. Toilet paper and soap are frequently absent, adding to the sense of neglect. The swimming pool, while visually appealing, demands an extra daily fee and a compulsory swimming cap, a policy many consider excessive. Noise is a major intrusion, especially on weekends, with a neighboring open-air disco blasting music until the early hours, and additional disturbances from traffic and barking dogs. The welcome at reception is inconsistent, ranging from reportedly poor and unfriendly to, in some cases, warm and helpful, with the restaurant chef receiving particular praise. The campsite requires full prepayment upfront and has a strict no-refund policy for early departures, a practice that has frustrated many guests. Beach access is direct but over large, uncomfortable stones, making it unsuitable for children. While there are some positives, like reliable electric hookups and water access at most pitches, the abundance of extra charges for basic amenities compounds the poor value for money. Many find the atmosphere unwelcoming and the management inflexible, with reports of being asked to move pitches during a stay. The nearby towns of Bisceglie, Trani, and Molfetta are a saving grace, offering pleasant cycling trips and charming evening harbors. Olive oil tasting and sales are available but not complimentary. The restaurant, though good, occasionally closes unexpectedly, and its food is considered overpriced by some. Ultimately, despite the natural beauty of its surroundings, the campsite is widely criticized for its fundamental shortcomings in cleanliness, peace, and fair pricing, leading many to recommend against a stay.
