Campsite Roma Flash ***

Large campsite that advises you can bring pets with a private beach. Was it told when was checking in the dog was not allowed on the beach and this was very important. I wasnt able to find this information on there website. Think this should be in the information. swimming looked like a pond wouldn\'t even let my dog near it!

Tranquil lakeside setting. Helpful staff and clean facilities. Just the place to relax after visiting Rome by cheap bus & train direct from site.

We intended to stay at another site which we disliked on arrival, so it was luck that bought us to this site. Reception was friendly and helpful, good English spoken. We chose our own pitch, which was large, flat and had a lovely view of the lake. We were out of season so the pool was closed and the shop, bar & restaurant had limited hours - when they were open the service was very good. Toilet block was clean, no toilet paper or seats. Showers were good. Bus to station and on to Rome stopped at the site. We intended to stay for three days and stayed for eight as we were relaxed and comfortable. Would happily return.

We got a fantastic pitch right on the edge of the lake. Staff very pleasant and helpful. The camp gives out a booklet which is a very helpful summary of what to do in the area as well as basic campsite information. We couldn’t get electricity initially but on checking at reception was given a fuse to put into the supply box. Only one toilet block open and no toilet paper. Showers great – plenty of space to keep clothes dry and ‘proper’ shower taps i.e. temperature adjustable and on/off rather than timed button. Most sinks only have cold water. Lights went off too early in morning and on too late at night making it murky. Toilets are rather unusual. In that seat is sprung loaded and as it rises it releases a whiff of disinfectant. Wifi to pay but service was good. Campsite was being tidied quickly whilst we were there. Tennis court, football pitch, volley ball and basketball areas as well as children’s playground all looked good and pool opened on 1st June although we didn’t use it. Swam in lake instead. Pitches immediately behind lakeside pitches are darker because of large tree cover but there are more open pitches behind. Not sure if we’d be able to keep our car at the pitch in height of season. Used the bus into Bracciano town and then the train into Rome and both were good although trains were usually late! Were originally planning to stay for 5 nights but ended up staying 8. One downside was noise from planes. The lake is right under the flight path for planes coming into Rome airport which is a shame. Mostly noticeable in mornings and evenings. Also the trees release resinous sap (Lime?) which sticks to everything and had to wash car twice whilst there. Also had to wash camper when we had left the site. Bracciano is a lovely lively town and would certainly stay here again.
