ospitalita — Manfredonia · Puglia
Manfredonia, on the southern Gargano coast — among eucalyptus and Mediterranean pines, fifty metres from kilometres of Adriatic shoreline, Camping Lido Salpi is the starting point for discovering one of southern Italy's most unspoiled coastlines.
The beach is long and well looked after: cleaned every day, with a fully equipped bathing area and wide stretches of free shore where you can walk in the shallow Adriatic water. Access is direct from the campsite, with no roads to cross. Here dogs are as welcome as children, and the shore has room for everyone.
The Gargano promontory rises behind the campsite, within the boundaries of the national park. Eucalyptus and Mediterranean pines filter the light and cast shade over the pitches — spacious, well-drained, with electrical hook-ups — where the quiet of the park reaches all the way to the tents. A stillness that few coastal campsites can offer.
Those who would rather not pitch a tent will find the mobile homes: fully equipped, clean, ready to go. The on-site restaurant — with kitchen and pizzeria — is run by chef Matteo, the owner of the property, and draws consistent praise in reviews. Weekends bring entertainment for the little ones: a place built with families in mind, open all year round.
On the Gargano, between sea and park, Camping Lido Salpi is a solid base for anyone who wants the Adriatic coast without giving up on nature.
