Campsite Zeus

We visited this site in March. It really was a bit of a tip. We arrive at 18.00hrs. The male on reception was not interested. Toilets were not good. All this site was good for was parking for the Pompeii ruins.

This is not a camp site, merely a car park for motor homes. Great location but that's about it. No shop. Supermarket about 10 mins walk. Chemical toilet and fresh water at same place not screened from view. We saw one person emptying toilet down outside drain so clear instructions required. Definite health risk not mentioning smell in heat of summer. On day we left staff opened the pitches for a car park. We did the maths! Bins always full. 2 hot water taps for dishes. Showers large but require update. Good location for train to Napoli and Sorrento etc but that's sufficient for most. It's not a holiday park.

If Zeus did not have the loction near by the entrance to the Pompeji ruins, I should never have visited this campingsite. Toilets out of order. No warm water in dusch cabins. No warm water for disch wash. Lousy facillity for emtying the caravan toilet.

The site access and leaving is difficult, we had problems leaving as cars in the car parking area were protruding into the track. A caravan outfit in front of us had a nightmare trying to manoeuvre. The site is ideally placed to visit Pompeii but that is where it ended. The pitches are difficult to get on and off and are of limited space. The toilets and showers ( the ones that worked ) were tired, locks on doors were a problem as was hot water, they were cleanish. Staff were uninterested and unhelpful. Was going to stay for a few days , but visited the ruins and left within the 24 hour charging band. If wanting to visit Pompeii , then it is an "option"

Camping Zeus has only one use, to visit the Ruins of Pompeii. or, if you want to, go up Mount Vesuvius. It is ideal for both as the ruins entrance is literally next door and a tourist bus for Vesuvius leaves from directly outside the gates. Other than as an overnight stopover to visit these two attractions Camping Zeus has nothing whatsoever to offer campers! The toilets/showers were disgusting, the chemical disposal point a health risk and the pitches very small with low overhanging branches making life very difficult. The rubbish bins were overflowing during our stay and stank to high heaven. Half of the site is given over to car parking which is obviously more profitable. Thete is noting to do and few decent places to eat after about 7.00pm when the ruins close. Most eateries served up sandwiches or other 'Fast Food' Streets around the campsite were dirty, rubbish strewn and dangerous to walk on. The whole area was in a state of decline. We will never visit Camping Zeus again.

Very convenient for the ruins and Vesuvius but the site was chronically over-filled with the result that some units were within touching distance of their neighbours. The free showers were OK but only cold water was supplied to the sinks which was also the single source for replenishing our aquaroll. The stink of stagnant water surrounded the central area and the only two pitches capable of accommodating our 8m caravan were flooded with it. We stayed on the car park surrounded by private taxis for the two days we were there. So disappointing because it's an orange grove - could have been so beautiful. We managed to catch a good pizzeria before it closed at 19:30 - the other stalls had all gone home by then leaving the area unexpectedly quiet. Trying to be positive - the staff were mainly helpful but not completely truthful regarding the availability of a pitch. If visiting this area again we would avoid this site.

Zeus is in a great position to see all of the sites, Napoli, Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfiand Coast, Vesuvius and of course Pompeii. The train station is literally outside the site and the trains run very frequently between Sorrento and Naples. Tickets for all excursions can be purchased immediately outside the campsite. The toilet facilities whilst clean are in need of modernisation as are the showers, there is only cold water for washing the pots which is disappointing. The campsite is very narrow so beware, we have a 7.4m caravan and 5 m car and had to unhook to get round as did most large rigs, camper vans and small rigs were ok as long as they were careful.
