What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Punta Lunga Bay is a highly recommended, natural campground with a beautiful, family-friendly beach and ample shade. Guests praise the friendly staff, well-stocked market, and great restaurant food. Some minor drawbacks include older restroom facilities and potentially loud evening entertainment.
"Spent three nights there in the end of August. Had a standard pitch on the terraces, which was wonderfully shaded underneath pine trees. The staff was super accomodating, the mini market was well stocked and the pizze to take away were tasty. Vieste can be reached by bike within 15 Minutes.
The one star missing is due to the restrooms and shower facilities, which are a bit old and not always super clean. Additionally, the "daily dance" starts at 21.30 and is super loud, which did not bother us but might be annoying for others.
To conclude, we would certainly revisit and hope, the restroom facilites will receive an update in the meantime."

"Very nice campsite. Beautiful location. But I'm always glad, when the evening animation music stops. Due to German vacation in Bavaria and BW there are 90% Germans with school kids here. And none of them likes loud music in the evening. So why not waiting with the animation until Italian vacation a little later in the season?"
