  : The campground is directly by the beach and it has got nice garden features such as big plants. The garden overall seemed well taken care of.The pizza at the restaurant was great and the staff were nice and very helpful.We had a fridge and 2 power points and also cutlery, several pans and dishes and a little gas cooker which all worked well.
  : The place is overpriced for what it is. We spent 1 night in a really old and run down camper trailer which was advertised as a caravan. The former and now useless toilet part of it had been nailed shut instead of creating more more storage space f.e. with it. The whole interior was in it's original state which means dark brown wood from the 80's. Only one light worked and the whole trailer and the tent that was our outside area smelled strongly of sweat. Which accumulated there for an estimated 40 years.The bed didn't have a mattress but multiple mattress parts assembled together.It was very hot in there and even with all windows open it was impossible to create a draft. A fan could have helped but there was none.In the shared bathroom you won't find any toilet paper. There aren't even toilet paper holders on the walls so there is clearly no intention to supply the guests with toilet paper in the bathrooms in the future. You can buy toilet paper at the mini market on site, but that discovery might be too late for the people who have already sat down on a toilet only to find no paper there.There's no soap in the bathrooms either and the showers run cold only unless you buy tokens from reception.The beach is covered in a black mass of seaweed and the sea is very rough and unswimmable at that point which according to other reviews seems to be the case most times of the season.We payed 35 plus a 20 cleaning fee which seems excessive for what's there to clean in a trailer like that.

  : Sea view WOW!!! Excellent location.Parking on site. Friendly lady on check inClose to sandy Chia BeachesWould I stay there again? Ummm probably not I would like to have my own private bathroom
  : There was no hot water to wash your dishes or to do your laundry. On arrival you will get 1 token per person per night for warm shower that takes 3 minutes. Out of that 3 minutes 1 minute is cold and remaining 2 warm so you have to be fast if you want to wash your hair. No hand soap in the communal bathroom.

  : Caravan overlooking the sea (as requested) was excellent. The convenience of the site restaurant & shop was great. All staff were friendly and helpful. A local, bus regularly stopped outside the campsite entrance which gave cheap access to the nearest town of Pula. The portable site BBQ was a perfect accompaniment to the balmy evenings. The toilet/shower block was cleaned thoroughly each morning and the water temperature was just right.
  : The 1980s (?) caravan itself had seen better days: the floor (& Lino) beside the bed had a crack in it; many of the top-cupboard doors latches had broken so the doors wouldnt stay open (one had no closure so would knock during the night whenever either of us moved in bed or the weather blew sufficiently to gently rock the van); some of the awning zips and ties had given up; one wheel had no tyre (not an issue as the van was still level); most of the windows hydraulic stays hadnt stayed around so the windows had to be propped open with home(campsite)-made wooden stakes which would occasionally fall out, as did one of the windows when trying to prop it open. Away from the caravan, the toilet block was a bit of a walk but thats life under the stars. The showers were 1 for a token which gave only 3 minutes of frantic scrubbing & rinsing but given Sardinias water shortage issues, its understandable. The biggest surprise was the 10 for each washing machine load.

  : nothing it was a total scam
  : SCAM DO NOT STAY THERE I paid 67 Euros for a old caravan , this includes 20 Euros cleaning fees while they give you bed linen and you have to put it on your own !no toilet paper no towel are provided found Spider webs , pans were dirty Honnestly I traveled a lot in many parts of the world ( Asia , Africa , Latin America, Europe ) that was the WORST experience especially considering the price i wished I slept on the beach
