Which Eurocamp Holiday Parks Are Near Rome?

Table of Contents

If you’re looking for an unforgettable family holiday near Rome that won’t break the bank, then picking a Eurocamp resort nearby is a brilliant option. The city of Rome is an incredible and unique destination brimming with history but, while the city itself can be a bustling whirlwind, staying at a holiday park nearby provides the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. Plus, it’ll be more budget-friendly and you can easily reach the city in around 30 minutes by train. Eurocamp have three holiday parks near Rome – Camping Fabulous Village, Village Roma Capitol and hu I Pini Village – here’s everything you need to know:

1. Eurocamp: Camping Fabulous Village

When we visited Rome we stayed with Eurocamp at Camping Fabulous Village and it was a fantastic base for a city visit due to its proximity to the city and the nearby train station. Check out my Camping Fabulous Village Review for more information and photos of our stay. Set within a shady pine forest, the park provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Rome, giving you the best of both worlds for your family holiday. You can spend your days visiting iconic sites in Rome and then unwind back at the campsite which boasts swimming pools, sports facilities and evening entertainment. (Plus you can also enjoy day trips to nearby beaches, like Lido di Ostia which is just 15km away!)

We paid around £200 for a 3 night stay at Camping Fabulous Village so it was a really cost-effective way to explore Rome. Vitinia train station is just 5 minutes down the road – from there you can get into Rome city centre in around 30 minutes. The Eurocamp resorts in Italy are fantastic for families, so if you’re hunting for a great campsite near Rome then I highly recommend a stay at Camping Fabulous Village. With just a 20 minute transfer from Rome Airport, it’s a great option for a car-free city break.

2. Eurocamp: Village Roma Capitol

Located in the Castel Fusano Nature Reserve, Village Roma Capitol is another excellent holiday park for families looking for an affordable Eurocamp base near Rome. A smaller campsite, this one is a great option if you’re looking for a quieter getaway – offering a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing. Having said that, it still boasts a large pool complex with three swimming pools and a spa area – so there’s plenty of fun to be had for the kids. The park also offers a kids’ club with sports facilities, themed parties and treasure hunts, and it’s just a few minutes drive from the beach.

Ostia Antica train station is just a five minute drive away so reaching Rome from Village Roma Capitol is straightforward – though you can drive, getting the train is likely the best option to avoid difficulty with parking and the added costs. The train journey is around 45 minutes and public transport in Italy is really easy to use. Village Roma Capitol is near Rome Airport so you can begin your Eurocamp holiday with a short transfer time of under 15 minutes – yet another great option if you want to leave the car at home.

3. Eurocamp: hu I Pini Village

Eurocamp have just added a third campsite near Rome – so you’ve got another family-friendly holiday choice for your city getaway. hu I Pini Village is a great base if you’re travelling with little ones – the splash pool with waterslides is lovely, plus there’s a main pool for swimming and a jacuzzi too – it’s the perfect place to relax after lots of walking in Rome! You’ll also find mini-golf, kids’ clubs, sports facilities and a playground. Plus, there are two bars and a restaurant on-site if you’d prefer to have a break from cooking.

You can drive from hu I Pini Village to Rome in around 50 minutes – so if you’re road tripping or hiring a car you can reach the city in no time. If you’d prefer to catch the train, you’ll want to head to Fara Sabina Station which is around a 15 minute drive away. From there you can catch a train into the centre of Rome in around 45 minutes. The campsite also organises excursions to Pompeii and Naples if you’re after even more adventures with the kids. It has a slightly longer transfer time if you’re flying – hu I Pini Village is around 45 minutes from Rome Airport. For more information, and prices for your dates, click here to check out hu I Pini Village on the Eurocamp website.

Tips for visiting Rome with kids:

Travel off-peak: Visit the main attractions early in the morning or later in the day to avoid crowds and save on entrance fees. The shoulder seasons will also be much less busy than the main summer months.
Pack food and drink: Bring a picnic with you to keep costs down, and take advantage of Rome’s free water fountains (nasoni) where you can refill water bottles throughout the city. (I never go anywhere without our cool bag rucksack and refillable water bottles!)
Use public transport: Rome’s buses and metro trains are convenient and affordable, saving little legs from long walks.
Book tickets in advance: Skip-the-line tickets are a lifesaver when visiting popular attractions with children – especially if you only have one day to explore. The Tiqets website and GetYourGuide have some great combination tickets too.
Pre-plan your route and itinerary: To make the most of your time in the city, pre-plan your adventure with my 1 Day in Rome Family Itinerary.
Pack carefully: Just like many Italian cities Rome has cobblestone streets, so comfortable shoes and lightweight strollers are essential.

How can I travel to and around Rome cheaply?

As I mentioned, we travelled into the centre of Rome via train from Vitinia which was a five minute drive from Camping Fabulous Village Eurocamp, and there was plenty of free street parking nearby. Using a holiday park near Rome, and travelling in, was much more affordable than hotels in the city. Our train tickets were just €7, and this covered all of our train travel for the day; the main train in and hopping on and off the Metro as needed. Kids under 10 travel free in Rome so for just €14 it was really cost effective – you really don’t need much spending money in this city. It was about a 30 minute train journey (with some changes) to get into Rome to the Roma Termini Central Train Station.

Which sights should I see in Rome?

Take a trip to the Colosseum: A visit to the infamous Colosseum is a must – the kids will love imagining gladiators battling inside. You can also admire it from outside for free if you’re keeping costs down – it’s just as magnificent!
Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain: Tossing a coin into the Trevi fountain is a fun and free activity that kids will enjoy. There are also quite a few other attractions like The Pantheon and Piazza Navona in the same area.
Head to St Peter’s Square and Basilica: Within the walls of the Vatican City, St Peter’s Square and Basilica are a must-see. There’s a charge to enter the dome and the museum, but the Basilica and the grottoes below are free.
