Orbetello Family Camping Village

We came as a family with the dog, everything as promised, excellent facilities and tidy bungalows, can improve the portions in the central restaurant compared to the price, but excellent pizza. The most interesting service is the presence of a professional dog trainer Raffaele. He is present on the beach and offers a daily two-hour course at the dog-walking area. In addition to his knowledge of education, veterinary science and first aid, Raffaele observes the dog-owner pairs. his insight and advice make this a unique experience. Dog and owner go home different. Fun guaranteed and many problems solved!

This campsite was our final destination after a long ride, but unfortunately we didn’t like it, so we stayed only one night instead of planned 4. Our pitch was on sunny side, but that means also near the road, so it was disturbing. Also at the reception they wanted to bill us all nights same price which was 30€ (camper+2pax) in august, although in e-mail confirmation we had an offer for 19€ for september. When I asked again, for the price in September the recepcionist said, will be same price as in August, so she clearly lied, supposing we wouldn’t know (as we were foreigners). When I mentioned the email she would finally confirm price for September. The beach is across the road, sandy with beautiful sunsets, but too touristic to our opinion. Also pitches are small, for a 7,5 camper, even too short. Instead we moved to beautiful camping site in Talamone, just few km along the road.

We had stayed in a Bungalow Marina "Toscana mare" two weeks during August 2018. The most disappointing part was the bungalow itself. We chosed one while booking because not in pet area and not too close to the arena. Well turned out to be a bad choice, as in that area all bungalows, beside being fairly narrow, are updated and would be need some maintenance, at least the one we got. Worst part wes bathroom (a disgrace, see pictures), one of the two bedroom very narrow, and last but not least very thin wall with the adjacent bungalow, which means you can hear literally everything, from whispering at night, type on a cellphone or kids crying. Other than that the village it's nice, with good structure, nice pool area. Sea requires 3-4 minutes walk but OK even with small kids. Beach can be busy at weekends but still livable. Water is clean altough because of the sand/currents, tends to become a bit cloudy late mornings onward. Kids entartainent was good. and our son and a daughter loved the evening entartainent. We love the Argentario and might consider to come back in the future, certainly not in the same accommodation.

We rented over 'Gebetsroither'. That is important to know for this review. "Street" where are such bungalows is actually one of the prettiest in the camp. Beach is usually windy and wavy 70% of the time (we spent here 14 days) . Only on occasion you can see clear and flat water. When it is like that it's beautiful. When it's not windy mosquitos will feast on you! Advise is to come in the morning like 9ish then you take best of it. Bad about the beach is there is one toilet which is always locked. You need to find out who has the key :). Some positives : + Clean bungalows + Bungalow has everything you need (even dishwasher) + in the silent part of the camp + price of 1200€ /week for large and 3 sleeping room bungalow for peak time end of July begging of August. + persons responsible for maintenance from 'Gebetsroither' are not only nice but very professional! Great job. Now some negatives: - my main issue with this camp:Beach is close but you need to go over very busy road, outside of the camp. Nobody stops in Italy...sometimes there is a guy from red cross Italy helping kids crossover but only from time to time. - free wifi but almost unusable, unstable with low bandwidth 30Mbs. For the camp of this size, that's a bad joke, without possibility to pay for better/premium connection. Mobile connectivity is limited and not an realistic option IMHO. - if you are a passionate bicycle guy, this camp hasn't really good position and access to roads without traffic. You will need to bike like 6-7km to get away from busy road. - like in all these kind of camps sewer is badly done. WC inside our bungalow was from time to time smelly but this is due to bad sewerage. I our case it was also noisy. If someone goes to toilet in the night after flashing, you could hear repeating clanking sound for next 15 sec... - mosquitos mosquitos and mosquitos. They are not really visible but in the morning you'll get reminder by counting how many times they feasted on you... - maybe it was good... But I disliked animation/nightly program camp has organized. Pure waste of time and so loud. Maybe interesting for locals? For me it sounded like nightmare every night, had to listen to karaoke competition, aerobic trading. So so loud. 🎤. - camp area seems to be kind of empty, one small Spar with very limited choices of food and maybe one restaurant with unpleasant staff. Just for basic needs,it's kind of ok. - BBQ is allowed only with electrical or gas grill... We brought charcoal one. :( After all we had great time here and I hope my review will help you with your decision. Cheers all

Beautiful pool and clean beach. Fun animation every night. Good food and great store. Loved the soap bubble night. We stayed in one of the Mobil homes and it was clean and had everything we needed, including air conditioning which was a huge plus. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely go back there again.
