At 52 euros per day for a simple pitch, this agritourism is well above our pain threshold. We have afforded ourselves the "luxury" for 2 days.
The thermal pools, which can be used free of charge, and the excellent restaurant, which cooks according to Etruscan recipes, made up for the "price shock" somewhat. In the evening, a noticeable number of guests from around Rome came to the restaurant.
On the 2nd day we visited the nearby remains of the Etruscan city of Vulci.

The campsite is on the lake. A visit to the medieval old town of Bolsena is a must. Good restaurants can be found by the lake and in the city.

The SP with a view of Mount Vesuvius is well suited for visiting the ruined city of Pompei. You can walk to an entrance in around 20-25 minutes.

We drove to this place based on positive reviews. We didn't like it. Apart from the overcrowding and narrow spaces, the sanitary facilities are old and worn out.
The nearby Amalfi Coast is probably one of the reasons for the large number of visitors. In addition, many other campsites were already closed.

Cozy campsite on the coast and the mouth of the Sele River. Ideal for canoeists.
The Greek temples in nearby Paestum are easy to get to by bike.

With a rental car we drove from the campsite to Salerno. We took the ferry to Positano via the Amalfi station. What can I say: You have to see it. It's just very touristy.

Matera with its former cave dwellings (called Sassi) is a must when traveling through Basilicata. This city has an enormous charisma. Even James Bond apparently couldn't resist and parts of the film "No Time to Die" were filmed in Matera.
The SP on the closed kart track was great. The operator has set up a free shuttle service for visiting the city.

If you like castles, this is the place for you. The building was built by Friedrich II, a grandson of Barbarossa. Why and for what purpose is largely unknown. In any case, it is very worth seeing.

Vieste is a very popular travel destination on the Gargano. A whole bunch of CP / SP and restaurants await guests. In autumn, however, the offer is reduced considerably. At the beginning of October almost all restaurants on the beaches close and you can only find open restaurants in the city center.

We approached this place near Lake Garda. It was created in a former gravel pit. A small pond complements the facility. The place is apparently popular and a lot of Italians go there on weekends. The area is ideally explored by bike and there is a lot to see. Along the river Mincio one comes Inn the worth seeing Borghetto.
Other destinations: Castellaro Lagusello and of course Lake Garda.

After we tried unsuccessfully to get a place in Lazise on Lake Garda, we preferred to return home and stayed in Sterzing. The separated WoMo SP is ideal for staying overnight and separated from the truck spaces.
In Sterzing there is a public scale on which you can check the vehicle weight for a fee of 1 Euro (for 3.5 tons). The fee is graded according to weight class and is determined by the machine.

Genau mein Ding lese ich nochmal in Ruhe will ich auch machen. Klasse gute Tips
Eine wunderbare Reise. Ihr habt viele schöne Stationen aufgesucht. Zahlreiche Erinnerungen an die letzten 5 Jahre werden wach. Danke dafür! Wir sind nämlich in den letzten 5 Jahren insgesamt 6x à ca. 10 Wochen in Italiens Regionen herumgereist. Klar, mir fallen noch ein paar Highlights zu jeder eurer Destinationen ein. Aber mein Herz gehört Apulien. Und ohne Matera geht es überhaupt nicht. Der SP am Nationalparkzentrum in der Murge Materana, Masseria Radogna, ist dabei ein Muss. Wenn euch Apulien nur annähernd so gut gefallen hat wie uns, dann fahrt noch mal in den Salento. Das ist eine gemütliche und gleichzeitig spektakuläre Krönung. Sizilien ist anders als das übrige Italien, aber ebenfalls herzerwärmend attraktiv.
Danke für den Kommentar und den Tipp für Salento. Es war die erste Reise in die Region und sicher wird eine weitere folgen.
