Description

Near a former soccer field, 2.5 km from the center and the sea, this municipal parking area near the railway line offers 12 marked, paid, asphalt camper spaces. The remaining spaces are for buses and cars. Unloading and loading, without a hose, is possible under the ramp.

Nearby

Portofino, Rapallo, Camogli, and Recco, about 30 km from Genoa, can be easily reached by train.

What motorhome travellers say

Campers find the area conveniently located near the town center and the sea, just a few minutes' walk away. However, they complain about the constant disturbance of trains that pass frequently at night, making it difficult to sleep. Guests report that services are lacking, and the €25 per day fee is excessive considering the lack of electricity and hookups.

Today, February 20, 2025, I received a sad surprise, reflecting a lack of investment in outdoor tourism. The daily parking fee has gone up from €15 to €25. After spending so many weekends in this beautiful location, we'll be forced to change our destination, as that price opens up a whole new range of options with a few more amenities...
