Campeggio Comunale Estense, Via Gramicia, 76-44100 Ferrara, Tel 0532.752396
To find site:- Once in Ferrara the site is well signed.
This Municipal Campsite is situated near the old walls of the town of
Ferrara. The welcome is professional rather than friendly. There are
about 50 pitches which vary in size. They are not numbered but trees
delineate the pitching areas. Some have an area of very course
hardstanding which I imagine have been put in to support motorhomes.
Providing the site is not full you can usually find yourself a bit more
room on the end pitches which are a little bigger. Electrical
connections are via CEE17 blue plugs and are rated at 6 amps. Water taps
are dotted around the site. Toilet blocks are of a good standard with a
mix of Turkish and seated pedestal toilets. However when only one block
is open it means there is only one men’s and one women’s Western style
toilet available for the whole site!
Showers have
swing saloon type doors so do not provide much privacy as a usual shower
cubicle. During the low season there are no other facilities open
although it looks as it there could be more available in the high
season. The campsite has extensive tree cover which would be a boon in
hot weather but would provide a challenge for anyone wanting to get
satellite reception. The site tends to get water logged in very wet
weather. A
small discount is given to holders of the CCI Camping Carnet. WiFi is
available at a cost of €1 an hour. The signal covers a reasonable
distance from reception but is not site wide.
The town/city of Ferrara is only a short bike ride from the site and
there seem to be many cycle ways to choose from especially around the
extensive walls. This site is convenient as a stopover site for
north/south routes through Italy. There is a large supermarket and
several fuel stations within a short distance of the campsite.
