The coastline can still amaze, but only when it's not invaded by black, smelly seaweed that spoils the beauty of the coast, the only plus... and certainly not the rest area.\nWelcome and facilities: anything but hospitable. Upon arrival, M. (the alleged manager) greeted us in a hasty and unprofessional manner. Pitches on dusty, rocky ground, with dry, overgrown grass and low branches that at night slithered over the camper like claws in the darkness. Showers and bathrooms: scenes from a horror movie; 1 euro for 3 minutes of water... which starts instantly, forcing a quick shower often interrupted with foam left on your skin. "Drinking" water with sand included. If you love the sea, come. If you want to enjoy it, choose a different structure.","voto":"2","idAreaGiudizio":"81103"},{"autore":"53929","data":"15\/07\/2025","commento":"This rest area is just a few meters from the Caribbean-like sea and a stone's throw from Torre San Giovanni, a charming and lively seaside resort. There are significant contradictions within the area: on the one hand, a top-notch coin-operated laundromat and a 10-cent cold water dispenser (amazing, never seen one before!). On the other, the complete absence of a cold shower, a footbath, or even a hairdryer in the restroom block. It's true that there are hot showers, but they cost \u20ac1 and aren't necessary for rinsing off the salt after returning from the beach. It's also true that there's electricity on the pitch (\u20ac4 per day), but if all the ladies turn on their hairdryers, on top of the concert, there's a risk of being left without power.\nWe'll probably return again, but for the sea, not the rest area.","voto":"5","idAreaGiudizio":"81014"},{"autore":"150414","data":"31\/07\/2024","commento":"A beautiful rest area currently being improved, offering direct access to the beach and close to the town center.

What motorhome travellers say
Campers find the rest area to be an excellent location directly on the seafront, with basic, well-functioning services. However, some users complain about cramped pitches during high season, paid restrooms with showers, and high prices, around €40 per day. The manager is generally appreciated for his helpfulness and friendliness, although some have noted issues with the overall management and maintenance of the facility.

Very convenient rest area near the sandy beach, where you can find both lidos and public beaches. The manager is friendly, child-friendly, and sociable. The pitches are reasonably comfortable (there's enough room to open the awning and spend time outside). We requested a shaded spot, and they accommodated us, even though there aren't many places with shade. There are only paid hot showers (€1 for four minutes for women, €1 for three minutes for men). There's a faucet for rinsing your feet near the power outlet. The area also has a dishwashing area, a swimsuit washing area, washing machines and dryers, and a dispenser for both still and sparkling water (20 cents/liter). The area has a small snack bar that also sells fresh fruit and vegetables in the morning (the variety is very limited, two or three types of fruit, the same for vegetables). Overall, the area is kept clean and offers the amenities needed for a successful vacation. A minimarket nearby would be great.
A stop that was supposed to smell of salt and freedom, but it turned into an obstacle course of dust, sand, poor service, and questionable management.
The sea is enchanting... when the seaweed allows it. The coastline can still amaze, but only when it's not invaded by black, smelly seaweed that spoils the beauty of the coast, the only plus... and certainly not the rest area.
Welcome and facilities: anything but hospitable. Upon arrival, M. (the alleged manager) greeted us in a hasty and unprofessional manner. Pitches on dusty, rocky ground, with dry, overgrown grass and low branches that at night slithered over the camper like claws in the darkness. Showers and bathrooms: scenes from a horror movie; 1 euro for 3 minutes of water... which starts instantly, forcing a quick shower often interrupted with foam left on your skin. "Drinking" water with sand included. If you love the sea, come. If you want to enjoy it, choose a different structure.
This rest area is just a few meters from the Caribbean-like sea and a stone's throw from Torre San Giovanni, a charming and lively seaside resort. There are significant contradictions within the area: on the one hand, a top-notch coin-operated laundromat and a 10-cent cold water dispenser (amazing, never seen one before!). On the other, the complete absence of a cold shower, a footbath, or even a hairdryer in the restroom block. It's true that there are hot showers, but they cost €1 and aren't necessary for rinsing off the salt after returning from the beach. It's also true that there's electricity on the pitch (€4 per day), but if all the ladies turn on their hairdryers, on top of the concert, there's a risk of being left without power.
We'll probably return again, but for the sea, not the rest area.
A beautiful rest area currently being improved, offering direct access to the beach and close to the town center. Cost: €39 per day for two people with a dog. Manager Massimo is friendly and helpful. The facilities are spotlessly clean.
A true rest area for campers seeking a quiet and peaceful setting, both on the beach (just 3 meters away) and very close to the town, which can be reached on foot (300 meters), where you can enjoy excellent seafood for just a few euros. Manager Massimo is a real asset, offering friendly service and always ready to help. There are hot showers available for a fee (1 euro), free self-service spices, and dogs are welcome. Camper spots are shaded and completely mosquito-free. A gem in Salento. I'll definitely be back next year with friends.
This rest area is currently being renovated. The facilities are crumbling and basic, but we hope they improve. Excellent location, practically on the beach (both public and private), convenient for the town center, a 10-minute walk away. Some pitches are shaded, some sunny. Price for one night in early July was €40. The owners were friendly. One notable drawback: we were devoured by mosquitoes. There's a small river behind the campsite.
Unfortunately we found it closed (also confirmed on the website). For daytime parking we parked a little further on, in a free parking lot (at the beginning of June). Sin; truly Caribbean beach that deserves despite the abundant Poseidonia.
Very large parking area, but with campers packed beyond belief, at least in high season, and rather small pitches. Wonderful sea of wonderful colors, it is a pity that the free beach, near the rest area, with a capacity of about 100/150 people, comes to contain, in high season, over 2000. Clearly this does not depend on the camper area, but makes the situation is extremely uncomfortable. The location of the drain grate near the sinks and showers is questionable. Also questionable is the price of 40 euros per day, given the overall situation.
Exceptional rest area, directly on the sea, excellent services, Caribbean sea, owner very available to all needs. Maximum flexibility: you can come and go at any time without paying various afternoon supplements. 500 m from the village, within walking distance. Highly recommended for those who want to take a beach holiday.
Family-run area, very crowded in August and a little chaotic, but very valid for its proximity to the sea, reachable in 2 minutes on foot. You eat well! Recommended.
For the third time we return to the rest area, which has not changed much over the years ... unfortunately the sea is almost badly served, full of posidonia and almost never clear. The hot shower for € 1 is exaggerated and does not last long, the cold does not exist unfortunately ... sinks in short, the same services ... pitches, a few shaded, and a few flat, and often a smell of sewage arrives ... the bar / restaurant has crazy prices, and the quality ... well. Fundamentally, 30 € in July for the complex is pure madness! already 20 would be too many honestly ...
24/6/21 In this period we found post in the shade and paid 20 per night. Welcoming and helpful staff, services as read in previous comments, possibility of car rental. Restaurant / pizzeria where we ate very well, Mario is an excellent chef, excellent local vegetables and products. Positioned on the sea with a Caribbean aspect, where there is a point with algae, but just move 20 meters to forget it.
Good location but some problems ... Seafront so convenient. To define services as Spartan, however, is an understatement. Bar and restaurant do not know menus and receipts so the surprise comes at the end. The use of the ATM is unknown, so ... cash for everything. First evening the dinner was quite good, the second a disaster, the third did not happen, we left, also for the bad and lasting smell of the Poseidonias on the beach - which unfortunately cloud the wonderful sea - and of the brushwood that burn every day generating smoke and stink.
Equipped camper parking area on grass / sand with 120 pitches both in the shade and in the sun. Direct access to the sea, white sand beach and Caribbean colored sea, new bathroom group, coin-operated hot showers, inside the restaurant where you can taste local specialties, they accept reservations, I suggest you try to believe.
Great area in front of the super sea. A little dusty from the wind. Small greengrocer with delicious cuisine attached, 20 euros per week not bad. Clean services and polite and courteous staff.
Very large area but with few places in the shade. New but very small toilets, water from the aqueduct, "full" electricity, hot showers at 1 euro for 7 minutes. Free beach at 50m. The garbage at the entrance gave off a fragrance in the tree-lined avenue ... Mr. Michele is very kind. In August 2020 there was also a karaoke evening with due distances. A 10-minute walk from the beautiful promenade of Torre S. Giovanni. The cost seemed excessive to me too (€ 35).
Pros: practically on the sea, ten minutes walk from the town, small bar with attached kitchen and greengrocer, recently opened toilet facilities. Cons: dusty, only some pitches in the shade (about 20% of the total) the rest in the sun, too expensive compared to the standard, € 35 in August including electricity, from September 1st you pay € 20, for me that is worth.
Convenient rest area because it is directly on a beautiful sea. There are basic services, plus a small market with restaurant service. Some shaded perimeter places and some excessively dusty. Very helpful and easygoing staff. Run down showers, should be revised. A little overpriced.
Mixed parking area with cars especially on weekends in mid-July. Very close to the sea and convenient for the center. Almost all places are in the sun, but fortunately it is quite breezy. The value for money should be revised somewhat downwards.
Large area with generous pitches equipped with electricity and water every 20m approximately. 50 meters from the very beautiful beach and a short distance from the town center. Not used the showers so I don't express reviews. A few pitches in the shade the rest in the sun, dusty bottom. Paid in July € 30 (maxi camper), far too expensive for what it offers.
It has on its side the fact of being in front of a beautiful sea and close to a tourist town, but the structure as a whole appears rather neglected. It is good for not too demanding travelers. About fifteen pitches are in the shade, the rest in the sun.
Stop late June early July, parking on the seafront lawn, spacious free beach a few meters from the Caribbean sea, under construction showers with hot water € 1 and sinks for dishes (cold water) and small shop of fruit and vegetables bread at moderate prices, load and drain too close to the sinks. Recommended, all in all it's fine, if you don't make any demands.
Well maintained area, 50m from the sea, large pitches, and large common areas. Inside the area there is a playground for the little ones, and an area where you can buy typical products. Very helpful managers.
Rest area a few steps from the sea, which unfortunately when we went we got dirty (the sea). Rest area on a sandy bottom that raises the sand when the wind rises. All in the sun and with poor services. Sinks, camper service, bathrooms and showers. In the village there are mainly / only restaurants and a few stands (a few). Rest area to spend only a few days. Us one night and then off. Advice for those who are just passing through. We expected better ...
I am a camper, the inefficiencies were temporary, indeed they added 6 new showers and 3 showers for women, tot. 16 with services restored. It's "on the sea"! A place to say the least charming! Convenient for children and kids who don't want to take many steps to get into the water. It is very close to the town where everything is found, from articles for the sea to excellent pastry shops and restaurants. Contrary to what they say, I found all the services, from the bathrooms to the showers. You will find fresh bread, mozzarella, ready to say the least delicious dishes, excellent fried fish and chips, and above all excellent Salento croissants and confectioners. I recommend it to everyone.
Equipped parking area located in a lovely place near a beautiful sea. Large and spacious. It is true that the common areas are temporarily subjected to preventive seizure, but the air is beautiful, the people are kind and welcoming. We like it as it is, homemade. I put 7 stars only for the obvious discomfort otherwise they would be 10.
3 stars only for location. On the shores of an enchanting sea and a short walk from the town. Electricity supplied thanks to a 24-hour diesel generator, I confirm that the common parts (bathrooms with the exception of chemical ones, showers, games for children, wash houses) are all provided with a seal indicating the area subjected to preventive seizure by of the forest police officers. Sorry because if it was managed in a less approximate way it would be really good. It is also a shame that the animation of the nearby hotel sometimes lasts until late at night, but that is not the fault of the area managers.
The position on the splendid sea with sandy beaches and the proximity to Torre S.Giovanni would make it a perfect AA. Too bad that the management is careless, tending to easy gain rather than attentive to us campers. Car parking inside the area, beaten earth with considerable dust raised by the continuous passage, the few lawn parts not clean and left to the rudeness of some campers, poorly lit, entrance gate always open even at night, nonexistent differentiated. As a duty to provide information (notice displayed on site) the bathrooms / showers / sinks area is still fenced off and placed under precautionary confiscation by the Puglia Region Carabinieri. The manager has arranged to place chemical WC cabins. I wish better times.
Dusty, near the sea and in the center, partly shaded. It could be perfect, but it is not managed too well and the coming and going of cars causes a lot of dust; services should also be improved and we were there in late September - when we were in three campers, I can imagine in August.
Area on the sea and near the village. A bit noisy and frequented by poorly educated people. There are non-respected timetables for unloading, let alone the hours of silence: even at night it disturbs. If managed better, it could be good. Price 33 euros per day, cash payment only.
Very bad ... it seems to be in a nomad camp: dust, overcrowding, poor and scarce services due to the number of people present, water supplied on interruption, cars entering and leaving at any time, in the middle of the night garbage collection truck (at 4 o'clock!), including glass, and at 4.30, as if that were not enough, truck-type vacuum trucks for emptying the waste tank: he worked for half an hour at the maximum possible noise parking right next to our camper. We escaped as soon as possible. I am not surprised by the manager, who does not care so much about people going there anyway, but about those who decide to spend their holidays here: without words!
The area is well equipped. Water, drain, light. He sells fruit, bread, etc. 50 meters from the beach. The crowding of the beach is the only flaw (but we are in Salento in August). Few places in the shade, but in the evening you sleep divinely.
Good. I like the proximity to the sea and the country, and it's not easy to find. The only drawback is the smell of sewage that can be heard even on the beach!
Anyone who misjudges this area is better to sell the camper and go to the hotel for holidays. I, on the other hand, recommend it to everyone: the sea is beautiful and the manager (Michele) is very kind. On August 20th they organized a wonderful evening of pizzica!
Rated 5: just enough to make a nice rest area, but two brothers are fighting to divide the area, and there is no solution. There is no cold shower. Three hot showers at 50 cents that go into fits and starts. Then in the area there is also a car park to make the situation worse. Sin. I will not return.
Only merit being 100m from the sea, for the rest it looks like a nomad camp, free powder, plus a price of € 30 in August! You can't go wrong, on the right when you enter, besides the stink of bins, there's a dump ...
Excellent area, well managed by nice but above all kind staff. At 50 meters from the sea with free beach and establishments. Beautiful sea, services (bathrooms, hot showers € 0.50, washing machine, dryer, electricity, fruit and vegetable sales, oil) price per night including electricity € 25. Village center at 600 meters. It is worth stopping
Kind manager. Unfortunately the area is sunny, except for a few shady places, and the ground is dusty and invaded by ants. One constantly smells of sewage coming from an adjacent smelly canal. The sea, in the area in front, is cloudy as in the upper Adriatic and absolutely below the average of the Salento. The situation improves if you walk to the beach towards the south. At night it is necessary to defend oneself against mosquitoes. I'm sorry for the manager's goodwill but my experience was negative.
Managed in an excellent way, with a very cheerful atmosphere. Practically on the beach and 5 min walk from the village. Rate from 1 July € 20 / day I recommend it. On the waterfront I recommend the kiosk "u purpitiello" where anything is cooked at the moment
Large, partially shaded, flat, clean and tidy services. Caretaker always present, friendly and helpful. Sea at 50m, splendid with sand. Country at 600m (recommended fryer of Porto under the Tower)
