31 Via della Castellana, 19132, La Spezia
Been here?
Large, flat and peaceful parking area suitable for overnight stays, with hiking trails nearby and a small village offering a bar, snacks and restaurants. Access is narrow, steep and winding, with few passing places, although recent visitors managed it with vehicles up to 7.4m long and 3.1m high. The site is beside a road but is usually quiet at night. Wild boar may visit after dark, and there are no services on site.

The place was perfect for one night. We found no view, but there were wild boars. One just looked at us. All in all, suitable.Translating
We had a great time here! Campiglia is very cute and has a small shop, drinking water and a few restaurants. The descent to the beach is a challenge; you should take enough food for the return journey. There were wild boars at the pitch at night. As long as you do not leave rubbish or food outside, there is no problem. They seem used to people.Translating
The access road to the place is very winding and narrow. Fortunately, we did not encounter many people; otherwise... The car park has no view and is beside a road, but it may be suitable for one night. It is an ideal starting point for hikes. A beach is accessible nearby, but the descent—and especially the climb back up—is only for the more athletic.Translating
I spent three peaceful nights here. The road is easily manageable with a 6-metre motorhome. Good starting point for hikes. The police drive past but do not say anything.Translating
The road to get there is narrow and winding. Quiet place.Translating
We spent one night here; there were only two vans in the car park. Perfect, close to the hiking trails. Clean and quiet. Beside the road, but little disturbed by traffic noise.Translating
We stayed one night at this location. It is entirely suitable for vans and motorhomes, and several vehicles had spent the night there. We encountered the famous wild boars mentioned in previous comments. It cannot be described as particularly quiet because it is beside the road, but it is suitable after a day of hiking.Translating
We slept here for three nights outside the season and had no problems. The locals did not seem bothered either. It is great just for sleeping, as there are no other services here. In the small village there is a little bar with delicious drinks and snacks, and you can watch a wonderful sunset! Be careful of the wild boars; they come very close.Translating
Large, peaceful, quiet and spacious car park. Water point a few minutes away, accessible by van.Translating
Spend one night there and felt very safe. The night was calm. A few steps away from it there‘s a beautiful view. Saw the most amazong sunset!
Good spot to spend the night. Flat, spacious, calm, beautiful night sky. We had some visitors, wild boar came in the evening to eat grass around the cars.
Do not let some of the comments put you off. We got here easily with our motorhome, 7.4 metres long and 3.1 metres high. When meeting oncoming traffic, you have to use the passing places, which admittedly are rare. Now we are waiting for the wild boars.Translating
Very good place! The water tap is 5 minutes away in the village. Very quiet. Wild boars also came to visit us, so be careful if you are travelling with a dog. The road up has several bends and narrow sections, but a larger public-transport bus also drives up it. More activity and additional visitors in the morning because of the hiking trail.Translating
I spent one peaceful night here. Starting point for the staircase to Monesteroli and Portovenere. We arrived at night and were alone, but by the afternoon the car park was full of cars. I recommend the Erbo Gianco bar, market and bakery. After chatting with him, he told me he is waiting for his van to arrive.Translating
Spacious, flat and quiet parking area, full of cars and campers on weekends, but you can also park on the road, which is a little narrow for the first kilometre up from La Spezia, although there are wider spots allowing alternating traffic. No problem with a 5.40 m van. The small grocery bar at number 2 in the church square is excellent, offering outstanding baked goods at reasonable prices.Translating
We spent two nights here. Very quiet parking area, a good starting point for the Porto Venere trail and other paths around the lovely village. Beware, it can be muddy during rainy periods.Translating
The road to reach the rather crowded parking area is fairly narrow and winding during the day. In the evening it clears out, leaving campers and vans. Quiet at night. Fountain in the small village, a five-minute walk away. Three stars because of the considerable amount of rubbish left around by the usual inconsiderate people.Translating
For VANS only. I saw the photos, checked Google Maps and did not read the description carefully. It was supposed to be a pleasant evening, but the drive was a nightmare, with us turning around at the first possible bend. Very narrow access road. We drove on Sunday evening, with quite a lot of traffic. Passing other vehicles was a nightmare. We are 2.7 m high and hit trees and bushes.Translating
We spent the night from October 1 to 2. The place is quiet but quite large, so there is a risk of several vehicles, sometimes noisier. The area is not very well maintained and there are no bins nearby. Too bad.Translating
Great parking area, very quiet early on weekdays; at weekends, locals park there from around 9 a.m. We stayed for three nights, all of them very quiet and undisturbed. A few other campers were there too. Highly recommended.Translating
We spent a good night and felt safe there with other campers, but during the night a group of small wild boars came to eat nearby. Nothing happened. We highly recommend it; you can visit the beautiful area and do some hiking.Translating
We slept here for two nights to visit the Cinque Terre. Quiet, flat spot with plenty of space. Access is via a very winding road with difficult passing points. We tried to walk to Riomaggiore, but the road is too dangerous, so we hitchhiked. The easiest option is to take a bus to La Spezia and then the train. Note that bus tickets must be bought in advance, as they are not sold on board. The train ticket between La Spezia and the Cinque Terre villages is included in the Cinque Terre Card.Translating
Flat parking area at the entrance to Campiglia. There were three vans. Beware, the road to the village is very, very narrow. Not recommended for large vehicles. Magnificent view from the village and a starting point for hikes.
The road is very winding and narrow, making it difficult to pass another vehicle; we had some frightening moments. We travel in a 7 m van, and the place was worth it. We stayed for three nights without any problems. The nearby little village is very pleasant and has a magnificent view. You can also reach the various Cinque Terre villages by public transport or on foot.
Nice place. I recommend breakfast at the nearby shop. Watch out for wild boars at night :)
We slept here for three nights in a row and slept very well. Cute village, restaurant and bar, water fountain. Quiet parking area without problems. Fireflies and stars were incredibly beautiful.
I confirm that this is a very good location for visiting the Cinque Terre. Shuttle to the village 200 m away, €2.50 per trip to the central station, and then a €27 pass for the Cinque Terre. Quiet village.
Good spot for one or several nights. A great hike starts here. Quiet and pleasant place with a spring nearby.
Perfect for spending the night and visiting the surrounding area. No services or phone signal. Water fountain in the village, as well as excellent bars. Fills up quickly, especially at weekends, as it is a hiking starting point. ⚠️ However, we did see a rat and processionary caterpillars.
Very good for one night, with a slight slope depending on the spot. Quiet, with a few hikers in the morning.
A bit of a scary drive up but worth it. Quiet and enough space (although in April). Nice location with a small village, 5 minutes walking. Enjoy!
