Strada Statale 1, 17028, Spotorno
Been here?
This flat, gravel motorhome area is across the SS1 road from the beach, with the town center about 1 km away. The reported fee is 18 euros. Water and disposal are available, but there is no 220v, no toilet, no shade, and the facilities have been described as dirty. Spaces near the road are noisy, although some visitors slept well and the area is convenient for the ferry.

Loud, dirty, and unfriendly.
Quiet, no-frills place with the essentials.
Very basic area. The row near the road is quite noisy, but we still slept well. Truly excellent location, with the sea across the road and some free beach sections. Convenient for those catching the ferry, as it is about ten minutes from the embarkation point. No shade, and the motorhomes are packed together with no space for awnings, chairs, or tables. Very friendly staff.
The only positive point is the direct access to the beach. Awnings, leveling legs, tables, and chairs are forbidden; parking only, no 220V, no toilets, and just a small sink for washing dishes. Wild boar were present at night, and at weekends cars were parked everywhere. I recommend it only for those who spend their time at the beach.
Everything is allowed at the site except barbecuing. We had a good spot for one night. The beach is great. The operator is friendly. Not exactly cheap, but typical for the region. There are many permanent campers on the site.
We stayed here for one night on May 23. It was very full but not overcrowded. Some areas were not very clean. However, the beach is good and you can get into town quickly. The service station was actually quite good and practical. The site is recommended when it is not too full.
Convenient for waiting for a boat in Savona, but €18 is expensive for a dirty parking area.
This site is currently packed very tightly. It feels as if there is barely enough room to open the habitation door. We did not even get through the barrier and drove on. Given how densely occupied it was, we would not have wanted to stay there anyway.
Secure parking for €16 per 24 hours, not noisy in May; we slept well. Very large spaces, parked among other motorhome users. Unfortunately there is no shade at all. I recommend this stopover.
To put it bluntly, it is a way to get rich by taking advantage of the lack of camper spaces in the surrounding area: motorhomes packed together. It is shameful that it is paid.
Not a nice place to stay. Just a gravel car park. Close to busy road. No view. Small spaces. Only suitable if you want to spend time on the beach. Services disgustingly dirty and unhygienic - I would not use them. When we were there the electricity was not working, but no reduction in fee
We were there at the end of March and beginning of April. The guy was really nice and helpful, underpass to the beach where there's a restaurant, 15 minutes walking to the beautiful town center. Easy access to empty and fill water. 16 euros with electricity. Recommend it
A way to get rich by taking advantage of the lack of camper spaces in the surrounding areas: motorhomes packed together. It is a disgrace that it is paid.
For Liguria, the price is truly cheap. Someone from the management was always present, and they were consistently very courteous and kind despite the Easter-period chaos. Basic gravel parking area, with very clean emptying and filling facilities. Very convenient for beautiful Spotorno.
Packed together like sardines, but for the price it is fine—we are by the sea, after all. Very friendly welcome. But do not forget earplugs, between the road and the neighboring motorhome owners' dogs.
The site is basic but okay. Bus number 40 to Savona stops directly in front of it for €3.
In Liguria, this is our favorite area. Extremely friendly staff, fair prices, very close to the beach and 1.5 km from the town. I am not giving five stars only because there is no electricity.
Convenient camper area for the town center and beach, but unfortunately not welcoming at all. Motorhomes are packed one meter apart, there is no electricity, and the filling and emptying facilities are somewhat neglected. No awnings, parking only. Fine for one night, perhaps two, but no more.
Large gravel parking area, with all the motorhomes close together. No services except fresh-water filling and grey- and black-water emptying. Extremely friendly operator. €16 per 24 hours. A stone's throw from the sea.
The parking area itself would be fantastic with a few simple improvements. Perhaps some trees and a more convenient black-water drain—just a funnel would be enough. Otherwise, excellent location directly in front of the beach and a 20-minute walk from the center. Price this season: €16 per night. The young man was very kind.
We parked peacefully. The location by the beach and for excursions in the surrounding area is excellent. The caretaker is very friendly. No electricity.
Quiet place; naturally it was packed during the holidays, but afterward it is not a problem. The grey- and black-water dump is a bit rough. Fortunately, the drinking-water filling point is near the caretaker's cabin, and he is also a friendly and helpful young man. Too bad there is no electricity, although that is not a problem for us.
Four stars because, despite the camper chaos—at least 200 of them—we had a peaceful stay on Saturday, January 3. Quiet place. Naturally, the filling and emptying area is very problematic. A deer visited us in the evening.
A gravel parking area as expected, safe and very crowded. Perfect for visiting the surrounding area. The road is very busy, but it did not bother us. One star less because the black-water disposal is unclear. There is a pipe at the far right intended for black water, but it is not properly marked, and many people dump black water into the grey-water grate, which was overflowing with waste.
A large gravel parking area where you can park with water filling and emptying facilities. Poor rating, but there is nothing else nearby.
Site closed. At least nobody was there and everything was locked. It would probably be okay for one night.
The emptying service is charged. We were asked for a €5 note. We left without emptying. This should be corrected in the original comment for this spot.
Now, in the off-season, it is about one-third full. In the back rows you can barely hear the road. There is a tunnel for walking under the road. The beach is a five-minute walk away. There is water and a disposal station. Fine for the price and location.
Gravel parking area with motorhomes packed together like sardines. Dog mess everywhere. Noisy during the day and at night. €16 without electricity is madness.
By crossing the road you can reach both the free and equipped beaches. Dogs are not allowed on the beach. The camper area has the essentials for staying. The center is just over 1 km away, with restaurants on the beach. It is true that there are many people and everyone is close together, but it was sufficient for our weekend.
The operator cannot really do anything about it, but it is genuinely noisy because everyone is parked so close together.
Quiet, easy, facing the sea. A good solution for staying in August.
Basic camper parking area, without electricity or facilities, which I personally do not need. There is only filling and emptying, with everything necessary, and the location is convenient. It costs €16 per day, cash or card. In August it is better to arrive in the afternoon, but I found a space easily. At this time there is not much room between the motorhomes, but tables and awnings are not allowed anyway.
We only emptied the black and grey water and filled the fresh-water tank for €5. We were just passing along the overcrowded coast and had no desire to stay there overnight, so we went up to the peace and coolness of Monte Beigua. The road up this mountain is very narrow in places, but it is manageable if you take it slowly.
A large camper parking area. In high season they also allow cars to park, which causes some inconvenience for camper users like me, since parking or staying with a camper is not possible anywhere in Spotorno. There are no trees, but we stayed one night and it was perfectly fine. Perhaps €16 is a little expensive since the only service is water filling and emptying. Despite this, I would return. It is advisable to arrive early in the morning or after 5 p.m.
€16. Be careful about arriving very late, as there may be no space, although sharing spaces with cars means there is quite a lot of movement and a chance of parking. It lacks toilets and showers. The village has a great atmosphere. I recommend Black Bull restaurant and Red House ice cream shop. Highly recommended stop.
Basic campsite, like in the old days. This is my second time here and there is always space on the way back to Spain. The beach is opposite, with blue, transparent water. The village is 2 km away, full of restaurants and ice-cream shops such as Red House.
One night in a basic parking area (€16 for the motorhome plus €12 for the trailer)—relatively expensive, as there are no showers or toilets. But the owner is friendly, arrival is uncomplicated even at 10:30 p.m., and the beach is directly opposite, so you can go swimming first thing in the morning. Disposal for the cassette is available. Fine for one night if you are self-sufficient.
