The site is close to the zompo lo schioppo waterfall

Peaceful site in the Zompo Lo Schioppo Regional Nature Reserve
Family run and close to the famed Zompo Lo Schioppo waterfall
Bar and barbecue area; local produce sales

It's a mighty fine waterfall – and nature reserve – that gives its name to Camping Lo Schioppo in Italy's Abruzzo region. It's only a minute's stroll from the site to the Zompo Lo Schioppo Regional Nature Reserve, a lushly green and scenic place that's home to the gushing waterfall of Zompo Lo Schioppo… go and get an eyeful. The reserve is a particularly prized part of Abruzzo for its natural springs and scenic surroundings, and Camping Lo Schioppo is a nifty place for sporty sorts, school trips and groups who meander along here to see the waterfall or to set off on hikes through the countryside: trails of varying difficulty run through the reserve. Around the region, Camping Lo Schioppo's L'Aquila province setting is about an hour from the spectacular Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, in a land of mountain biking and climbing as well as heady hikes. Rome is under two hours' drive to the west. Camping Lo Schioppo's team has set the site up to be in tune with its handsome countryside surroundings and to keep things comfy for large numbers of guests. There's plenty of green space for wandering, and good communal facilities including an equipped kitchen. Showers, toilets, a washing-up area and a parent and baby washroom are all on site; there's free wifi, and the bar sells local produce for picnics and barbecues. Local town Morino is under 10 minutes' drive away. And finally, for those non-Italians, what does zompo mean in the native language? It means jump, something you can gleefully do into the pool 80 metres below the waterfall's drop.

Powered forest floor tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Se cercate un posto tranquillo lontano dal caos e dalla vita quotidiana ed immerso completamente nel verde il Camping lo Schioppo è perfetto!
La Sig.ra Elvira e tutto il suo personale sono deliziosi: sono stati estremamente gentili, sempre pronti a fornirti informazioni sulla zona o su qualsiasi necessità.
 Ho trovato gli spazi ben curati ed i servizi igienici e sanitari sempre ben puliti.

Le piazzole sono spaziose e per la maggior parte ombreggiate. Dormire con il rumore di sottofondo del torrente è impagabile!
Ho apprezzato inoltre la possibilità (che non tutti danno) di poter tenere l’auto vicino alla piazzola.

Anche le mie due pelosette si sono rilassate tantissimo e hanno potuto godere di un pò di frescura che di questi tempi è molto difficile da trovare.

Infine i suoi dintorni sono favolosi. Ci sono vari percorsi di trekking/hiking da poter percorrere, ma la vera perla è che il campeggio costeggia la riserva naturale “Zompo lo schioppo” raggiungibile con una bella passeggiata attraverso faggi e piccoli torrenti fino a delle cascate più grandi dove si può apprezzare tutta la bellezza della riserva.

Grazie mille davvero per questo soggiorno, torneremo sicuramente!

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Very friendly and helpful.
Very quiet as it is situated on the edge of a nature reserve. If you like walking in the Forrest you will love this site.
Daily visit from baker and veg man.
Small bar/ coffee shop.
Clean showers and toilets.

Disliked: Slightly restricted access if towing a caravan. It can be done but you need to be careful.

Local attractions

Set off by foot, bike or car to get to the region's ancient, cultural and natural sights, from wildlife watching around the Zompo Lo Schioppo Regional Nature Reserve to wandering around the castles and medieval hill towns of L'Aquila province. The Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park is well worth the hour's drive for days' worth of activities including horse riding, canoeing, and skiing around the park's three resorts. Wolves, wild boar, deer, polecats and lynxes are among the species to spot for wildlife watchers, along with birds of prey including golden eagles hunting high above. It's just over an hour's drive to province capital L'Aquila, a busy university town with a 14th-century cathedral, several palaces and a huge 16th-century Spanish fort that now houses the National Museum of Abruzzo. The province's second main city, Avezzano, is half an hour's drive from the site; from here, drive west to reach the nature reserve on Mount Salviano, home to several hiking trails centred around the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Pietraquaria.
