Camping on the Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is one of Italy’s most spectacular coastlines: pastel villages, lemon groves and cliffs dropping into a deep blue sea. Campsites are rare on the coast itself. Most are on the Sorrento Peninsula, around Salerno or further south toward Paestum and the Cilento. From there, buses and ferries take you to Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. Spring and early fall bring pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.

The coastal road is narrow, winding and often congested, and motorhomes and caravans are banned from it for most of the day. Check the current rules of the Italian road authority ANAS before your trip. The easiest option: stay at a campsite and use the local buses or the ferries from Salerno or Sorrento. In summer, book ahead, as the few sites fill up quickly.
