Camping Tellina

Imagine waking up each morning steps from the sparkling Adriatic Sea — that is exactly what you experience at Camping Tellina, a wonderfully positioned seaside campsite on the southern edge of the beautiful Gargano National Park. This cherished family‑run holiday destination combines the charm of traditional Italian camping with easy access to nature, sand, sea, and vibrant local culture.

Camping Tellina sits right on the beach — literally no roads to cross — so families can relax while children run safely toward the shore. The campsite unfolds across a lush, shady green area where tall eucalyptus trees, willows, and centuries‑old pines provide natural shade and a tranquil ambiance.

On a site of about 10,000 m² (roughly a hectare), there are approximately 100 pitches — including spaces for tents, campervans, and caravans — with many pitches enjoying partial shade and flat terrain for easy setup. The pitches are spacious and typically have electricity available, perfect for those with motorhomes or caravans who want that extra comfort.

If you prefer ready‑to‑stay accommodation, the campsite offers comfortably furnished caravans for rent (for 2 – 6 people), complete with kitchenette, fridge, outdoor chairs, and table — ideal for guests who love the outdoors but want more convenience.

Facilities here are designed for comfort and carefree enjoyment:

• Direct beach access with discounted beach umbrellas and sunbeds (often around 30 % off for campers)
• Beach bar and café — perfect for sunset spritzes and social evenings with music
• Automatic washing machines and warm showers 24/7
• On‑site market with local produce and essentials
• Sports & activities — beach volleyball, mini‑football, bocce, playgrounds, and seasonal animation for kids and adults alike
• Accessibility — ramps and services for guests with reduced mobility are available

Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing sunbathe, socializing over an aperitivo at the beach bar, or playing beach games under the warm sun, positively everything is designed to help you disconnect from the daily rush and immerse yourself in coastal bliss.

Camping Tellina is perfectly placed as a base to explore the stunning Gargano region and the historic town of Manfredonia. The address — SP 141 km 6,5 in the Loc. Sciali area of Manfredonia (Foggia) — puts you right at the heart of both seaside relaxation and cultural discovery.

Just a short drive or bike ride away, the charming historic centre of Manfredonia invites you to explore narrow streets, historic architecture, and local boutiques. Here, you’ll find traditional restaurants, lively wine bars, artisan shops, and buzzing piazzas — perfect for a dinner after a day at the beach. The imposing Castello di Manfredonia and its museums are must‑see spots for history lovers.

If you love nature and scenic drives, the Gargano National Park is literally on your doorstep. This spectacular protected area blends forested trails, panoramic cliff views, shaded Umbra Forest paths, and wild Mediterranean landscapes — all excellent for hiking, biking, or picnics.

For extended day trips, consider exploring:

• Mattinata, a picturesque seaside town with coves and coastal views
• Vieste and Peschici, iconic Gargano destinations known for beaches and historic centres
• Lakes Lesina and Varano, serene inland waters perfect for kayaking and bird‑watching

Local markets, seasonal festivals, and fresh seafood restaurants — especially those featuring typical Apulian and Gargano dishes — are scattered throughout the area and easily reached by car, scooter, or bike.

Before you book your camping adventure at Camping Tellina, there are a few practical and helpful points to keep in mind that will ensure your stay is seamless:

1. Seasonal Opening: The campsite typically operates from late spring to early autumn (often May through September), so planning early and booking ahead is strongly recommended — especially for summer stays.

2. Booking Tips: Pitches and caravans can fill up quickly in peak season. Booking early not only secures your preferred spot but also often ensures the best proximity to the beach and shade.

3. What to Bring: If you’re arriving with your own tent, camper, or caravan, make sure you bring suitable ropes, pegs, and any adapters for electricity (the pitches typically offer 6 – 10 A). Bedding and camping gear are usually not included with pitch stays unless you rent one of the caravans.

4. Pets: Dogs are generally welcome but must be kept on a leash and are restricted in certain common areas to ensure a peaceful environment for all guests.

5. Money & Connectivity: There’s an on‑site market and bar, but you may want to bring extra cash or cards for nearby restaurants and day trips. Wi‑Fi is available, but signal strength can vary in more remote corners of the site.

6. Accessibility & Comfort: The campsite offers shower facilities, laundry services, and disabled‑friendly access routes. If you need specific assistance, notify the campsite in advance — they’re known for being accommodating and friendly.

7. Local Experiences: Nearby markets, local festivals, and traditional Apulian dining experiences are highlights of a stay here — many of which are easily reached with a short drive or cycle from the campsite.
