The site has a great location, right by the water. The road did not bother us. We cycled with normal touring bikes to the wonderful Ochsenbucht, including a hike to Paliokastro, and to Pylos. Be careful: Maps shows a footpath to Pylos along the golf club, but the path is private and not open to the public. You have to take the normal road.Translating
An excellent campsite directly on the beach. The facilities are good, and the owner is helpful and welcoming. Several good restaurants are only a short walk away along the shore.Translating
A lovely spot by the sea. Great atmosphere. Excellent facilities, superb views, and lovely walks along the beach to restaurants for coffee or delicious food. A perfect combination!Translating
Very nice campsite right by the sea. You can easily walk along the beach to the restaurants. Good washing machines. The sanitary facilities are cleaned several times a day. Soap and toilet paper available. Water very hot. We kayaked, among other places, over to Pylos. The road is somewhat noisy, but it did not bother us.Translating
Campsite located by the beach, also bordering a busy road. The front-row spaces are constantly occupied even before the season. The spaces on the road side are quite noisy. The beach is beautiful, shallow for a long way, with strong wind but small waves. Clean, pleasant sanitary facilities. The pitches are very nice, but we accidentally chose one with a water tap, so there was a constant procession of neighbours walking past our camper to get water.Translating
A very well-maintained campsite. An absolute windsurfing and water-sports paradise. Excellent free Wi-Fi. Directly on the beach. The pitches are not partitioned, so you constantly see neighbours walking across your pitch; the ground is sandy and loose. In the wind, you get dirt everywhere. Extremely many ants. The drinking water is salty. Directly on the main road.Translating
Lovely campsite near the village, which is easily reached via the beach. All pitches are close to the beach. Very friendly staff. Bread available to order in the mini-market. Unfortunately, at least on the rear pitches, the adjacent busy road is clearly audible.Translating
Lovely campsite. Many sanitary facilities. Very large pitches, with many in the front row by the sea. Direct access to the beach. Camper €10. Per person €8. Good washing machines available for €5.Translating
Very friendly welcome. Sanitary facilities are new and very clean. We had a wonderful pitch directly by the sea. The site is very well maintained. The spacious layout of the pitches provides privacy. The castle and Ochsenbucht are highly recommended. We would gladly come back.Translating
Great campsite with direct access to the beach. The sanitary facilities are practical and clean, and the welcome was pleasant. The only drawback is the busy road nearby, which is barely noticeable once the van doors are closed for the night.Translating
A campsite that will certainly appeal to fans of various kinds of boards. Very clean and a warm welcome. Small shop at reception with a few vegetables. The drawback is the noisy and dangerous road for the 300 m leading to the restaurants (Greek drivers do not care about pedestrians).Translating
Magnificent campsite in every respect. We had a pitch 10 metres from the beach; falling asleep to the sound of the waves is perfect. We can only recommend this campsite.Translating
Fine. Everything you need is there. Friendly welcome. Ideal for visiting and hiking at Voidokilia Beach.Translating
+ warm welcome, cleanliness, direct access to the beach, pitch size - a little expensive (€37 for 4 people and a camper)Translating
Perfect for the location, welcome, cleanliness, and beach!Translating
Great campsite; we were lucky and got a pitch directly on the beach. The entire site is well maintained and clean, including the sanitary facilities. You can hear the road, and some pitches are a little tight depending on where you are. Overall, it is a rather upmarket area; the village of Gialova is Greek luxury. We paid €29.00 for the pitch.Translating
Ideal location for the village and surfers—that's about it. You will find no peace here on the busy main road. A little more order from the manager would be appropriate! Some front pitches are so blocked and occupied by long-term guests that the three rows behind can barely reach the beach. In our case, a motorhome completely blocked a passage. What a shame.Translating
Sanitary facilities old but very clean, friendly staff, nice village nearby with several restaurants.Translating
Good campsite! Everything clean and friendly. We stayed two nights. Unfortunately, the restaurant mentioned by the previous reviewer was already closed. We walked to Ochsenbucht one day. There is a shop in the village, but it is more expensive than the campsite shop.Translating
Great campsite, clean sanitary facilities. Town right next door, with river walks and a wonderful beach stroll. The pitches further forward are closer to the road, which is not very busy but could bother some people. Insider tip: try Nikos's restaurant opposite—very tasty, very friendly, and very cheap!Translating
We arrived around 4 p.m.; only a few spaces remained. The place is very beautiful by the water, but because we had a road-side pitch, we got no sleep. The water from the taps smelled bad.
Not even one star. We had a reservation by email, and when we arrived we were told that everything was full and that we were out of luck. Sorry, no matter how good this place may be, we will never set a wheel, let alone a foot, here again. Customer service: 6, sit down.
A pleasant campsite right by a small beach made of both sand and stones. The old toilet and shower facilities are clean. It is very close to the road, and pitches on the roadside are extremely noisy with heavy traffic.
A wonderfully clean campsite literally on the beach. There are no loungers or parasols, but we brought our own and enjoyed the days there. A lovely little town is a ten-minute beach walk away, with excellent dining at Elia and many choices for ice cream, meals, coffee, and drinks. The sunsets are magical, and there are plenty of windsurfers. Highly recommended.
Beautiful, natural campsite directly on the beach. Sanitary facilities okay and diligently cleaned. Very friendly staff. The legendary Voidokilia Beach is easily and safely reachable by bike via the lagoon. There are many restaurants to choose from in nearby Gialova.
Really great ??? All pitches are directly on the beach. Great beach and water. Windy in the afternoon—a dream for surfers and others. The village within walking distance has great restaurants right on the beach. Everything ? We would gladly come back.
Campsite as described. Two adults with camper and dog, without electricity: €30 per night. Sanitary facilities well maintained. The road passing by is the only slight disturbance at night. Wonderful beach for children to splash around. To Ochsenbucht: 7 km plus about a 15-minute walk.
A great location that is usually a little breezy, so it never feels too hot. We had a front-row pitch. The toilets and showers were clean.
Lovely seaside campsite. I’m not giving it 5 stars because it is on the road and you can hear the traffic. Paid €34 for 2 adults and 1 child. Recommended.
Well-maintained campsite with beautiful pitches facing the sea. I recommend it.
Lovely spot, good starting point for visiting Ochsenbucht.
A really beautiful spot by the sea. I was able to kiteboard, and there are beautiful cycling trips from the campsite to beaches or a waterfall. We were here with our two kids. The campsite itself is relaxed and pleasant, with spacious pitches.
Nice place during a journey. Small, clean, somewhat tight, especially the disposal area. Beachfront pitches are excellent; the nearby road is bearable.
We were there last year too; always happy to return. The beach pitches are excellent, but the other pitches are fine too.
Camper prison... It looks very clean, but the pitches we were shown today offer no more than 2 m of “walking space” to the plot boundary (with a Ducato). We fled.
A neat campsite directly beside the beach. The noisy road costs it a star. There are several sanitary blocks with hairdryers. Showers had hot water on the first night at 9 p.m.; on the second, our nearby bathroom had none and another had only a trickle, costing another star. Pitches are spacious. Taste the water before filling your tank, as we disliked the flavor and left the tank empty. The price was €31 for two people.
Sterile campsite on a noisy road. The great thing is being in the front row, directly by the sea. Expensive without an ACSI or similar discount.
Outstanding campsite, very nice sandy pitches directly by the water, everything extremely clean. We liked the site much better than the neighbouring one. Highly recommended!
Very nice place directly by the sea. However, there is a connecting road directly behind it, with heavy traffic in the morning. The site is very clean. On the other hand, the pitches are very cramped. Fine for a stopover, but I cannot imagine spending a longer holiday here. Update: At the moment the site is mainly occupied by stereotypical clientele, which makes everything seem rather stuffy.
Pitch directly by the sea. Sanitary building spotless. Even an 8 m motorhome fits. Disposal is very tight for large vehicles. Staff very friendly. The bay is fantastic. I cannot understand the previous comment.
We stayed one night. It is all a matter of taste. The pitches are very cramped, and if you are not directly in the first row by the beach, you look at your neighbours' vehicles on both sides. Sanitary facilities are not old, but not particularly great either. The village is not beautiful either. You can do without the nearby hotel.
Absolutely recommendable site. We spent four nights here: excellent bay, nice walk to Ochsenbucht, and a great seafront promenade within walking distance. Clean sanitary facilities, beach right in front of you. €24 without electricity / €29 with electricity per night. Slightly more from May.
