Villaggio dei Pini

Paestum


Paestum has numerous campgrounds, but this is where you should hammer in those tent pegs. The campsite is set in a mature landscaped area with lofty pines, and facilities include a restaurant, pizzeria, mini market, football pitch, private beach and playground. The cabins are simply furnished but have all the essentials.
