My beloved Roman campground

The Campeggio Village Flaminio, in Rome, Italy

Camping Village Flaminio

(Outskirts

Here is that old loyal steed, our hippie-orange VW campervan, in which we lived when we lived at the campground. Later it carried us all over Europe, occasionally with company such as my uncle Marc, who was 19 at the time and visiting when my dad snapped this picture, I believe somewhere in the Italian Dolomites or Alps (I'm the little guy on the left).

This campground is well outside the centro storico but near to my heart, as I lived in it (in a hippie-orange pop-top VW campervan) for two months when I was 12 years old and my family was between apartments.

The Villagio Flaminio boasts 80,000 square meters of camping—tents, campers, and RVs—plus 90 self-catering bungalows for rent. It’s actually located within the Parco Regionale Vejo, so there's plenty of greenery to go around, but it's a bit of a haul from the city center.

Take Metro A to "Flaminio," transfer to the Linea Prima Porta train, then get off at "Due Ponti." Longer but more direct: take bus 910 from Termini to the end of the line (Piazza Mancini), then bus 200 right to the campground.

Via Flaminia Nuova 821, well north of the center
