Camping Lino

I’ve been coming here for many years, mostly several times a year. The owner family (two generations manage the enterprise) are just darling with great attention to details most other campgrounds wouldn’t bother about. Cleanliness, safety and practicality are just es important to them as is the perfect vacation experience of their customers. Facilities are greatly accessible, roomy and cleaned around the clock. The RV slips spacious and framed with oleander trees that also form shady ceilings for the summer heat. A small shop with daily necessities, restaurant and a fantastic pool are available too. Their crown jewel though: their own beach with family friendly shallow pools and a view upon beautiful Cervo that is second to none. They keep the beach in perfect shape all season and remodel the sand strip during the winter. If you want a seaside paradise that is not overrun like many larger city areas in Italy but is still in walking distance to a beach strip with everything your vacation entertainment heart desires plus a three gorgeous towns to explore by foot that feel like medieval or Caribbean marvels, Camping Lino is your perfect vacation option. Just don’t take away my spot please :)

Not your cheapest spot to camp (ca. 50-60€ per night in high season), but it is sooo worth it: the campsite is literally on the beach - a piece of private beach, shallow water very suitable for small kids, with magnificent views of Cervo. The fun village of San Bartelomeo is just a short walk away, as is the historic village of Cervo. The camping is super clean, with a neat pool (not super large, but refreshing), great showers and clean toilets. Only aspect to watch is the tight entry rules for arrival (between 11-13 or 15-19) and the minimum number of nights (typically 5-6 in high season). Both meant to maintain the relaxed vibe on site.

The camp is clean but has no spare spaces other then your pitch or mobile home. No common place for kids to play. Even the pool you can not use during siesta time. The see is very shallow(good for kids) but not for swimming. I don't think it deserves to be a 4 star camp. I've seen 3*camps offering much more. And if you are thinking about mobile home, count additional 50€ for clean-up which is not on the price list. The garbage place could be closer as well.

Well organized camp site right by the sea, which has been tamed here by a series of wave breakers, and thus is very kids friendly. Can feel a bit crowded and tight, if your looking for wilderness and amazing views, you're in the wrong place. Cervo, Alassio and Laigueglia are worthwhile excursions, San Bartolomeo has resort style beach bagni and entertainment.

Exceptionally clean and tidy campsite with impeccable facilities. There is direct access to a small sandy beach. Two restaurants are very close by. They had a policy of a minimum of two nights when I stayed. The plots can be quite awkward to get into with a larg(ish) motorhome. Strict no noise policy from 13.00 to 15.00 and 23.00 to 08.00.
