The camping village is 30mins by car from Florence or alternatively you can catch the local train which runs on the hour and takes 20mins.

If you like hanging out with the locals Plus Camping Girasole is a great base to explore further into the mediaeval towns and villages like Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and Greve that produce all the fantastic tastes and flavours of Tuscany. Hop on our bus to go door to door.

Our info point offers discounts on all excursions for backpackers.

Check in is from 4pm and check out is by 10am.

Cancellations must be done at least 24hrs before check in to avoid being charged for your first night’s stay.

MONEY MATTERS
For your added security we use a chipcard payment system on the campsite. On arrival you are issued with a rechargeable electronic chipcard that you use to pay for food and drinks from the bars and restaurant, and items from the market and bazaar. The card is rechargeable at reception only by cash or credit card. Any value left on the card is refunded back to you on departure.

If you are leaving late feel free to put your bags in the lockup to catch a few extra rays by the pool.
