Fancy a Puglia holiday with sea views, swimming pools and a serious dose of Salento sunshine? Camping La Scogliera sits high above the Adriatic between Santa Cesarea Terme and Castro, surrounded by Mediterranean greenery and overlooking one of southern Italy's most spectacular stretches of coastline. The big attraction is the aquatic area: three outdoor pools, including a 14 x 8-metre main pool, two children's pools, water-play features and slides. Older children will naturally make a beeline for the slides, while younger ones have their own splash areas. Add a playground, outdoor fitness area, football, tennis, padel, pétanque, table tennis and summer entertainment and there is plenty to keep active families busy. Is the sea nearby? Absolutely – Porto Miggiano is roughly 1.8 km away, and the campsite operates a complimentary shuttle to the beach. The surrounding coast is rocky rather than a classic sandy-beach resort, so bring water shoes and a snorkel. You will thank us later. What about dining? The panoramic restaurant and pizzeria is one of the campsite's real pleasures, serving Mediterranean dishes and pizza from its sea-view terrace. Recent holidaymakers have particularly appreciated the spectacular location, friendly staff, attractive accommodation and the combination of pool and coastline. For families, we would particularly recommend La Scogliera for children around 5–16. Younger children have dedicated pools and play areas, while older children get more from the slides, sports, snorkelling and Salento excursions. And parents? Aperitivo with a sea view. Obviously.

The surroundings

Camping La Scogliera occupies a panoramic, elevated position on Salento's Adriatic coast between Santa Cesarea Terme and Castro. Within 15 kilometres, the scenery is wonderfully varied: limestone cliffs plunge towards turquoise water, while rocky coves, sea caves and pine-covered slopes create a distinctly Mediterranean backdrop. Inland, olive groves, vineyards, dry-stone walls and low rolling farmland give way to small villages and traditional Salento countryside. Santa Cesarea Terme adds elegant seaside architecture and thermal springs, while Castro provides a picturesque harbour and dramatic coastline. Porto Miggiano, only a short drive away, is especially striking, with clear water surrounded by pale limestone cliffs. This is rural Puglia with a salty, spectacular edge.

Tip from our team

My first piece of advice for Camping La Scogliera is to make the most of the view. The elevated position is one of the campsite's biggest assets, so if you have a choice of accommodation, I would favour a mobile home with a terrace and sea outlook. It is particularly lovely in the evening when the light starts to soften over the Adriatic. Don't treat the pool as a substitute for the sea. The best holiday rhythm here is to alternate the two: pool and slides in the afternoon, then a trip to Porto Miggiano for a swim and some snorkelling. The complimentary beach shuttle is genuinely useful, particularly when you would rather not tackle the local roads and parking. For the coast, pack proper water shoes. This is rocky Salento rather than a soft-sand beach destination, and the clearest water is often around rocky coves. A mask and snorkel are also well worth putting in the suitcase. Families should make time for the restaurant terrace. The panoramic setting is a big part of the experience, and an early dinner followed by a sunset stroll makes a very easy holiday evening. The campsite sits on sloping, terraced ground, so I would bear that in mind if travelling with a pushchair or anyone with reduced mobility. The steep gradients can make getting around more difficult. Finally, keep the car available for day trips. Castro, Otranto, Porto Badisco and Lecce each offer something different, and La Scogliera works particularly well as a base for exploring rather than somewhere you need to stay all day.

  • 1.0 / 5Never again.
    “I spent 9 days at this campsite, in a small house for 6 people and a small dog, with my family and my friends. As soon as we arrived, we found the exact opposite of what we had booked. The small house was dirty and did not correspond to the one that appeared booked on the site, children's entertainment was completely absent because the entertainers were busy with their own business, the pools were terribly dirty, to the point that the water was completely opaque. The sea? 400 m as the crow flies only in the description of the ad where you book to stay because, in reality, the only way to get to the nearest beach is by car as it is over 1 km away. Furthermore, most of our stay was accompanied by a very strong smell of gas that plagued the whole "small house" because, behind it, 6 gas cylinders had been left unattended, which they claimed were empty. As if the gas problem weren't enough, for several days, we had breakfast and dinner accompanied by the smell of the campsite's sewers. Faced with our complaints, we received complete indifference and rudeness. The small house was completely devoid of privacy; we had to hang up towels to prevent guests from other small houses from experiencing our daily lives with us. The daily collection of sorted waste, which is communicated at the time of check-in, is actually non-existent, and at the same time, the laundry area is completely abandoned and dirty. The rooms, holes where at least two people have to squeeze in, on beds that could collapse at any moment with plastic mattresses, and obviously, you either bring bed linen from home or you rent it. Finally, end-of-stay cleaning is not included; each guest must do it themselves at the time of check-out and find themselves cleaning up the dirt left by previous guests as well, otherwise a fine is also expected. In short, disappointing is almost a compliment.”

  • 1.0 / 5Highly unrecommended: misleading information, non-existent services, and great inconvenience
    “I strongly advise against this campsite, a mini facility with truly small dimensions, managed with a total lack of clarity and a lot of dishonesty. Before our arrival, we were provided with completely false information: Bathrooms, showers, and lack of security: We had been assured that the tent area was very close to the facilities, but instead, it is very inconvenient and distant. If you do not reserve one of the only 3 private bathrooms available, the communal showers are perpetually freezing. But the serious thing is that, despite having paid extra for the private bathroom, things keep disappearing inside, giving the very clear and unpleasant feeling that someone is entering without permission. Inadequate facilities and activities: The promised paddle court was closed (it will only open in September). The fitness area is a tiny and ridiculous square, while the barbecue area is meager and insufficient. The entertainment was practically nonexistent and of a very low standard. Disappointing bar and restaurant: The restaurant does not have a pizza chef, so no pizza (with constant apologies from the staff). The only bar present provides no clarity on hours and is often found closed even at 11:00 in the morning; besides that, it is very poorly stocked, with four measly croissants baked in the morning. Terrible management of sea transport: We had been told that the sea could be reached on foot in 15 minutes, but that is an irresponsible statement: you have to walk along a dangerous and very steep highway, with cars speeding by at high velocity. The only option is the shuttle, but no one had warned us that it had to be booked in advance and that the service ended as early as 7:00 PM. In conclusion: unclear, dishonest, and liars. A very inconvenient facility that I would advise against to anyone.”

  • 5.0 / 5A vacation to repeat
    “Our stay in a tent started a week ago and will end tomorrow morning. 8 days spent in a comfortable, cozy, and welcoming facility. The pitches are spacious and guarantee easy access and freedom of movement. The location of the facility is very strategic as it allows you to reach various Salento locations. The fundamental service that the campsite offers is the free shuttle that runs back and forth between the campsite and the 8 bays. In 5 minutes you are at the sea without having to think about where to park. The staff is always available and extremely kind. A great vacation certainly to be repeated.”
