ABOUT THE CAMPSITE
Camping Centro Vacanze San Marino is set on a hillside just a short distance from the historic city of San Marino, with views stretching towards the Adriatic coast. Our lodges are generously spaced across a dedicated section of the campsite, offering a great deal of privacy and a peaceful sense of seclusion. In the shoulder seasons, this is a wonderful retreat for those seeking rest and relaxation, as well as for couples, whilst during the summer months the campsite is equally well suited to families.
The campsite is green and spaciously laid out, with a relaxed and well-organised atmosphere. The grounds invite you to take a stroll, enjoy the views, or simply unwind. Thanks to its location, this is a wonderful base for both beach days on the Adriatic coast and cultural excursions in the surrounding area.

Sports & activities15.2 kmNature park next to Aquafan with dolphins, bird of prey shows and a recreated piece of Adriatic nature. Educational yet exciting for children, and pleasant on a hot day thanks to the shade and the water shows.
View on the map →
Sports & activities2.4 kmHire a full-suspension e-bike with a guide and ride through the parks of San Marino or, in five hours, to the fortress of San Leo. The guide knows the most beautiful unpaved trails and finishes with a tasting of local produce.
View on the map →
Sports & activities14.5 kmTheme park for the youngest children, set around a lake with a fairy-tale atmosphere. No big roller coasters, but little boats, a pirate ship and a toddler-sized haunted house. Quieter and more manageable than the big parks further afield.
View on the map →
Beach & nature15.5 kmKilometres of wide sandy beach with gently shelving water, ideal for children. You hire a parasol and two sunloungers at a bagno, which also has a bar and play equipment. In the evening you stroll along the car-free Viale Ceccarini.
View on the map →
Beach & nature2.6 kmWalking route of almost five kilometres along the cliff face of Monte Titano, from Borgo Maggiore up to the three towers. You walk through woodland, past peregrine falcon nests and terraces with sea views. Wear sturdy shoes, as there are some steep sections.
View on the map →
Beach & nature11.7 kmGypsum cave in the hills of the Valconca with the largest bat colony in the region, more than eight thousand animals. You can only go in with a guide, wearing a helmet and lamp, past orange flowstone and the domed Quarina chamber. It's always cool inside, so bring a jacket.

Culture & day trips2.8 kmThe oldest republic in the world, on top of Monte Titano with three towers on the ridge. Walk from the Guaita to the Cesta along the path beside the walls and look out to the sea. Park below in Borgo Maggiore and take the cable car up.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips11.7 kmA small medieval village beneath a mighty fortress on a rock. The notorious alchemist Cagliostro was once imprisoned in the fortress. Linger for a plate of homemade pasta or a piadina on the square.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips4.1 kmVillage on a rock above the Marecchia valley where the Malatesta dynasty began. Climb the tower of the Rocca for a view over two hundred kilometres of coastline, and see the three-thousand-year-old wooden throne in the archaeological museum.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips7.5 kmCastle on a 436-metre hill, known for the legend of Azzurrina, the girl who vanished without a trace in 1375. The guided tour tells the story, complete with the sound recordings. In summer you can also join an evening tour, but you do need to book.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips24.9 kmFortified village with a double ring of walls almost eight hundred metres long and a castle where the tragic love story of Paolo and Francesca from Dante's Divine Comedy took place. You can walk along the walls and see inside the castle, including Francesca's supposed room.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips14 kmSeaside resort with a surprisingly old heart: the Roman Bridge of Tiberius, the Arch of Augustus and the fish market with its stone tables. Eat a piadina on Piazza Cavour, wander through the old Borgo San Giuliano quarter with its murals about Fellini and finish on the beach.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips15.2 kmThe Madurodam of Italy: hundreds of famous buildings in miniature, from Venice to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Children can also take a boat through a mini Venice and drive a little car themselves at the driving school.

View on the map →
Culture & day trips11.7 kmLively hilltop town with a maze of 160 hand-dug caves beneath its streets, which you can visit with a guide from the tourist office. There's a market on Mondays and Fridays, and the old Marchi print works still makes printed linen with a wooden press.
View on the map →
Culture & day trips2 kmThe republic's wine cooperative, close to the campsite, with a shop and, by appointment, a tour of the cellars and a tasting of three wines with a board of local products. Ask for the Sangiovese and the Brugneto.
View on the map →
Restaurant1.8 kmOsteria in the hamlet of Ventoso, close to the campsite, where the locals come for grilled meat and pasta from Romagna and Le Marche. Four small dining rooms and views over the hills. Booking is wise, especially at weekends.
View on the map →
Restaurant3.1 kmHighly rated lunch spot just below the old centre of San Marino, serving passatelli, tagliatelle and guanciale from the region. Handy to combine with a morning at the towers, as many restaurants in the centre itself are more touristy.
View on the map →
Restaurant11.7 kmRustic osteria run by two brothers in the heart of San Leo. Order the passatelli with cave-aged cheese or the gnocchi with wild boar ragù, with a bottle of local wine.

We spent two weeks at this campsite with our tent. We genuinely cannot understand why this campsite is primarily known as a transit campsite, as we found it a wonderful place to stay for longer. The campsite has a beautiful swimming pool, clean facilities, and lovely, spacious pitches with a magnificent view over Rimini and even the sea. A special word of praise for the very friendly cleaner, who ensured that everything always looked neat and well-kept. There is a bread service and a small campsite shop on site. By the swimming pool you can enjoy delicious ice creams, fresh fruit, drinks, and other refreshments, which we very much appreciated during the warm days. The only thing we felt was missing was a water point closer to the tent pitches. That would make a stay for campers who remain longer even more comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful too. San Marino itself is stunning, but we also visited Rimini and Bologna, and both cities are absolutely worth the trip. Thank you, dear and friendly campsite, for two wonderful weeks and an exceptionally enjoyable stay. We look back on our holiday with great fondness!

We stayed here with our motorhome to visit San Marino. The campsite is tidy, and you notice that a lot of motorhomes stay for a few days to visit San Marino. The facilities are tidy, but by the evening they could do with an extra clean. A big plus is the free bus service to the historic centre (cycling isn't impossible, but wouldn't have been much fun in the heat). The pool is absolutely fantastic, we really enjoyed that. Reception staff are friendly and helpful.

A lovely campsite with an abundance of olive trees, lemon trees and orange trees. Giovanni, the owner, is very polite and helpful. All sanitary facilities are excellent. On the campsite there is a good, reasonably priced restaurant. Giovanni assists with parking cars at low prices. The campsite is strategically well situated at the small harbour, from where you can take the bus to the upper town. Amalfi, Capri, Pompeii, Naples, Sorrento and Herculaneum are also easily reachable.

This campsite is a beautiful place to find peace and quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful. However, of the 3 toilet blocks only 2 were open, and of those only 2 men's and 2 women's toilets were open. Same for the showers. During a busy period like now, that's too little for such a large campsite. There aren't many walking options in the area, so you need your own transport or the free bus service to reach the sights.

Here you can choose between smaller pitches and, for a small extra fee, larger ones. There were still plenty of free pitches in mid-June. The free bus to and from the historic centre is perfect! Very friendly staff and the price is fine. Nice pool at the campsite with lots of shaded spots and sun loungers, just a shame about the blaring music by the pool in the afternoon — why so loud? Very irritating!

Spent 2 nights at this campsite. Absolutely delighted with the whole experience. Check in was smooth, pitches were big enough. And the on site restaurant was superb with great value meals and very reasonably priced drinks. I would happily recommend this site to anyone.
Perfect location, perfect place to stay! uiet, peaceful, and very clean. There are shaded spots for vehicles everywhere. The free bus to the historic downtown stops right at the campground entrance. Don't miss their restaurant—it's fantastic. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommanded.
We had a wonderful stay here with our campervan. The place is beautifully located and very peaceful. The sanitary facilities are exceptionally clean, and the staff is friendly and always helpful. You can really feel that everything is well taken care of. Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful week's holiday here in a chalet. Friendly staff, beautiful location. The pool was great. Taking the bus to San Marino city was also ideal. And a day trip to the beach near Rimini is easy to do too.
