The most beautiful campsites in Tuscany directly by the sea

Camping right by the sea: Here you'll find 13 campsites on the Tuscan coast – from the year-round site in Marina di Massa to the pine forest campsite in the Maremma. The sites are sorted by coastal section, with beach location, 2026 season opening dates, and dog rules, which we have verified with the operators or in the official site information.

Versilia and North Coast

Along the Versilia coast between Marina di Carrara and Viareggio , the beach is almost entirely occupied by bathing establishments (bagni); campsites directly on the sea are rare. Partaccia in Marina di Massa is an exception. Those looking for a more affordable place to stay can find alternatives at the motorhome pitches in Tuscany.

Camping Italia (Marina di Massa) – open year-round on the sandy beach

Campeggio Italia is located in the Partaccia district on Via delle Pinete, directly opposite a fine, gently sloping sandy beach, ideal for families; the campsite also features a private beach area. Pitches for tents, caravans, and motorhomes are shaded by trees and have electrical hookups. The campsite is open year-round. Dogs are allowed for an extra charge, but not on the beach; there is a designated dog area. The Apuan Alps rise in the background, and Forte dei Marmi and Carrara are nearby .

How to find the right place

Reading the stars correctly

In Italy, star ratings are awarded by the regions based on facilities and services – not on location or proximity to the beach. A basic campsite with few stars can therefore be closer to the water than a large holiday village. Many "camping villages" are holiday complexes with a high proportion of mobile homes and bungalows; those seeking a quiet spot in their motorhome should pay attention to the number of tourist pitches.

Parking space in the first row

"Right by the sea" usually means that the pitch borders the beach, but pine forest or dunes lie between the pitch and the water. At large campsites like Bocca di Cecina, the distance varies from a few meters to several hundred meters, depending on the pitch. Those who want to be close to the water should specify their desired pitch category or number when booking.

Pine forest shade vs. motorhome size

Pine trees provide valuable shade in summer, but make access difficult for large vehicles: branches hang low, paths are narrow, and satellite reception is often limited under the canopy. For motorhomes over 7 meters long, you should inquire in advance whether suitable pitches are available – at Maremma Sans Souci, for example, the paths are narrow.

CampingCard ACSI in the off-season

With the CampingCard ACSI, you can stay at participating campsites during the off-season at fixed rates (2026: €13 to €27 per night). These rates typically include two adults, a pitch with car, electricity, and hot showers. The current ACSI guide lists which campsites are participating and during which periods.

High season in August: book early

Im August machen auch die Italiener Urlaub, rund um Ferragosto (15. August) sind die Küstenplätze besonders voll. Für Juli und August sollten Sie Plätze direkt am Meer mehrere Monate im Voraus reservieren; in Mai, Juni und September finden Sie oft auch spontan einen Platz. Einen Überblick über die Badeorte gibt die Seite Strände der Toskana.

With dog and children

Dogs are allowed at almost all campsites, but often not on the beaches – and some campsites even ban them entirely during the peak summer season. For tips on dog-friendly beaches, see Camping with a Dog in Tuscany , and for families, see Camping with Children.

Arrival and facilities

For your journey, it's worth taking a look at the tolls in Italy . German gas cylinders cannot be exchanged in Italy – more information can be found under " Gas cylinders in Italy ," and regarding water on the campsite, see " Drinking water at the campsite ." In summer, mosquitoes are common in pine forests and at lagoons – mosquito repellent should be packed.

Alternatives away from the coast

Not by the sea, but equally popular: Camping Village Torre Pendente is located about 800 meters from the Leaning Tower of Pisa (more information under Camping near Pisa ), while Camping Panorama del Chianti in Certaldo boasts a pool and views over the hills. You can find all information about camping in our overview of camping holidays in Tuscany.
