Would you like a family holiday where the beach, swimming pools, cycling and entertainment are all within easy reach? Camping Heliopolis is a particularly attractive choice for families looking for an active seaside holiday in Abruzzo. Set directly on the Adriatic coast in Pineto, the resort has its own 150-metre private beach, reached safely via a pedestrian and cycle path rather than a road.
The setting is wonderfully convenient: pine trees and coastal scenery surround the resort, while the protected Torre del Cerrano Marine Area is nearby. The campsite also has direct access to the extensive Bike to Coast cycling route, with an 8-kilometre coastal section immediately outside the resort.
What can children do? Quite a lot. There are two outdoor swimming pools, including a dedicated children’s pool, a playground, Mini Club for ages 4–12, Junior Club activities, sports tournaments and evening entertainment. Adults can join fitness sessions, aquagym, padel, tennis, football and beach volleyball.
For dining, there is an onsite restaurant and pizzeria, bar facilities and a mini-market, making everyday family life wonderfully straightforward. Recent guest feedback particularly highlights the friendly staff, clean pool, food, entertainment and beach location.
Who is it best for? We would recommend Heliopolis especially for families with children from around 4 to 12, although teenagers are well catered for too. If you want beach days, cycling, sports and plenty happening without constantly getting into the car, this is a strong Abruzzo choice.

Tip from our team
I would make the beach and cycling path two priorities from the moment you arrive. The private beach is only a short walk away and can be reached without crossing a normal road, which is particularly convenient with younger children or a pushchair. The beach has a sandy section around the umbrellas and a more pebbly shoreline, so I would pack suitable footwear for swimming. I would also recommend hiring bicycles if available during your stay. The coastal cycle route is one of Heliopolis’s strongest advantages, and it makes exploring Pineto and the surrounding coastline much easier without constantly using the car. The resort has direct access to the wider Bike to Coast network. For families, I would take advantage of the entertainment programme rather than planning every day away from the resort. The Mini Club caters for children aged 4–12, while the Junior Club gives older youngsters their own activities. Fitness, aquagym, tournaments and evening shows provide plenty of variety for adults and children alike. The restaurant is also worth trying during the holiday. Guest feedback frequently highlights the food, staff and regional specialities, while the onsite market is handy for breakfast items and everyday essentials. One practical tip: bring comfortable footwear and expect to leave the car parked. Private cars are not normally permitted to circulate inside the camping area, and designated parking areas are provided. This creates a much more pedestrian-friendly environment, but the parking can be a walk from some accommodation areas.

Old and neglected structure“Dated housing structures, with practically non-existent maintenance. The wooden access stairs are practically rotten, the outdoor chairs were almost all broken. Inside, the shower mixer did not work, so the choice was between cold or boiling water that would take your skin off. The dishes are very old, mismatched, and the non-stick pans are all ruined, dangerous to health. Upon our arrival, the house was already dirty with sand and dust with smelly towels.”

“Terrible cleanliness, dated mobile homes, To reach the pool, restaurant, and mini club services, you had to walk 200 meters in the sun.. The only positive thing I will remember is the entertainment and the food”

Magnificent stay and super entertainment!“I spent a week in September with my husband and our little girl, and we had a truly wonderful time! Our little house was very comfortable, very clean, and only a one-minute walk from the sea, a priceless convenience. But the real strong point of the facility was the entertainment, which cheered us up every day with wonderful shows and so many activities to keep us entertained. The girls – the two Ilaries, Giada, and Sabrina – were exceptional, very talented, and very sweet. We really appreciated the fact that they would come to the beach to chat and empathize with us customers, a truly splendid gesture and not at all taken for granted. My daughter loved the mini club run by Giada; the entire staff demonstrated truly rare professionalism and attention. In the evening, we often didn't even leave the village just to enjoy their splendid shows! If I really have to make a very small criticism, the bar staff seemed a bit lacking in empathy, but this did not in the slightest tarnish the excellent memory of our vacation. We will definitely be back!”
