Baia Holiday Mare Pineta

Tip from our team

Camping Mare Pineta sits on a hillside surrounded by pine forest, roughly 70 meters above sea level, which gives you those stunning views over the Gulf of Trieste. During high season, a small free shuttle train runs down to the pebble beach, which is super handy if you’re carrying gear or traveling with kids. If you want a bit of action, the campsite has plenty to offer: tennis, basketball, volleyball, and access to kayaking, SUP, and even diving in the nearby bay. Hikers absolutely shouldn’t miss the famous Rilke Trail — it starts right from the campsite and winds along the cliffs toward Duino Castle, offering unforgettable sea views. In the evenings, the animation team keeps things lively with themed events and shows, making the place feel fun and engaging for families. When it comes to facilities, Mare Pineta scores well. The pool complex features a large swimming pool, a kids’ pool, and a whirlpool, perfect for cooling off or relaxing. The mobile homes are modern and bright, equipped with air-conditioning and terraces. There’s a mini market and a restaurant on-site; both are good, though guests often note that the overall pricing feels higher than at smaller, simpler campsites. Wi-Fi is available but limited to the central areas and comes with a fee, so don’t count on full coverage. Because the pitches are laid out in terraces, you often get spacious, shaded spots — a big plus during the hot summer months. My recommendation if travelling with a camper or caravan is to choose a pitch near the panoramic restaurant or the pool area if you’re traveling with family or friends, so you can make the most of the scenery. A final tip from my side : plan a day trip to Trieste — it’s nearby and ideal for culture, cafés, and scenic viewpoints. Overall, Mare Pineta is perfect if you’re looking to combine nature, sea views, outdoor activities, and easy day excursions without giving up comfort.
