Camping La Genziana

View from the top of the site towards the mount greco massif

Peaceful terraced site overlooking the valley of Lake Barrea
Near Barrea village in Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park
Surrounded by scenic walking, cycling, horse riding and driving routes

Take a look at this for a spectacular setting – the views from here are really quite something, surrounded by mountains in all directions and overlooking Lake Barrea four kilometres away. The site itself is also pretty excellent: Camping La Genziana lies 1,100 metres above sea level across two grassy hectares, with terraced pitches surrounded by acacia, maple and beech trees. It’s all set half a kilometre from the village of Barrea, right in the middle of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, and with smashing views towards the Mount Greco massif from the top of the site. You’ll receive a friendly welcome from well-travelled owner Pasetta, who expertly ensures his guests have everything they need to make the most of this splendid mountain setting: talk to him about the various hikes that lead directly from the site, as well as which villages in the area to visit, and what wildlife to look out for around the locale. This is a simple and well-maintained site that won’t leave you wanting for a thing (except a longer stay) – toilet roll is provided, showers are hot, the sinks are sectioned off to make your daily cleansing routine a little more private, and there’s also a hairdryer to help you blow dry your barnet back into order once you’re done. A washing machine is available for use too for a small fee, and an iron is also on hand to straighten out your garments before donning them on your next adventure.

Nell'area comune hanno a disposizione due bbq

La notte se c'è cielo limpido rimarrete impressionati dalle stelle che si possono vedere

La vista dal camping ti cattura ogni volta che ci passi davanti

Il tempo è un po' ballerino, ma ti regala ogni giorno colori diversi

Power optional grass motorhome site

Liked: La Genziana è la tipologia di campeggio perfetto per chi viaggia come noi in van, cerca silenzio, riposo ma anche un luogo strategico che ti permetta di partire per le escursioni come di raggiungere comodamente a piedi la piazza di Barrea. Piazzole ampie su prato, tanta ombra e molto spazio per avere comunque un po' di privacy. I bagni sono puliti, servizio lavanderia, un piccolo bar ben fornito. E poi Marco e i gestori sono gentilissimi.

Liked: Camping essenziale, silenzioso e con una vista mozzafiato. Ideale per rilassarsi e fuggire dal caldo delle grandi città.
Piazzole spaziose e riservate.
C'è sempre da migliorare ma noi ci siamo trovate molto bene. Consiglio inoltre di mettere più colonnine con la presa elettrica.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site (three person)

Liked: Abbiamo campeggiato 2 notti in tenda. La piazzola era dotata di una fontanella di acqua potabile a pochi passi e, come richiesto durante l’ordine, di una presa elettrica. La location è molto bella, con vista sui monti e uno scorcio del lago. Da li è facile raggiungere sia percorsi di trekking a piedi, sia il paese che è poco sotto. Nel campeggio ci sono tutti i comfort, compresa una fantastica zona barbecue e cucina all’aperto a disposizione di tutti. Il titolare sempre gentile e disponibile. Punto extra: nel campeggio girano due gattini adorabili in cerca di coccole. Consigliamo.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site (three person)

Liked: Extremely warm and welcoming staff. Pleasant and quiet pitches with easily accessible information about the whole area. Great restaurants nearby, fantastic places to swim, small shops have mostly everything you'd need - honestly not more to ask for.

We stayed in a tent for about a week and a half and loved every minute of it, it was very easy to forget that there was WiFi at times.

We absolutely loved our stay, felt very accommodated for with Marko always doing his best to help us. Can't wait to return again one day.

Local attractions

Your walking boots will be put to good use around here: direct from the site are several hiking routes, and the local village of Barrea is a popular departure point for moderately flat and short hikes in the surrounding parkland. You can get up on a horse or get yourself on two wheels to explore the area too, on the mountain biking and horse riding trails for all abilities around Barrea and the wider national park. There are also spectacularly scenic driving and cycling routes around the mountain passes of Gran Sasso d'Italia, Maiella, Sirente and Velino. Lake Barrea, four kilometres from base (the view from the site is so clear you might just think you can dive in from your pitch), is the place to hire pedalos and windsurfing boards for something active, or if you’re feeling a little lazy, umbrellas and comfy sunbeds for lounging days.
