After days of exploring at quite the pace, we decided to hit pause—and Camping Lido di Salerno turned out to be the perfect spot for it. Tucked right beside the sea with peaceful views stretching across to the Amalfi Coast, this little site offered just what we needed: simplicity, serenity, and a salty breeze.

Our journey here from Pompei was wonderful, passing over the mountains and along the beautiful Amalfi coast. The coastal drive especially was spectacular and, although we’d have loved to have stayed ON the Amalfi coast, campsites are non existent; so instead we managed to find a lovely sea view campsite to aim for just south of Salerno.

On our first evening, we fired up a fish BBQ and dined to the sound of waves—an absolute treat.

The following day, we fully surrendered to relaxation: a lazy morning, lots of food and drink, and plenty of sea-gazing. We split our time between sitting under the awning and staying cozy inside, all while watching the changing skies over the water.

Dinner was one of our favourites, Steak and Blue Cheese wraps

Going back to the campfire and our thoughts about it- the site itself is very basic, but honestly, it has a certain charm we really enjoyed. The facilities are hot, clean, and more than enough for a short stay.

If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful to recharge for a night or two, with the sea just steps away—this place fits the bill perfectly.

From here you can cycle 10km into Salerno and hop on a boat to Amalfi, and we possibly would have done that, but the weather had other ideas. With rain clouds rolling in, we embraced the opportunity to slow down and soak in the view instead.
