Camping la Batteria

Historic campsite, well known and  frequented by foreign turism during the 60, 70 and 80, it has brought up to date in July 2015 thanks to Giuseppe who has renovated the campsite and is now managing the completely new and improved site with modern amenities. 
Amongst the first municipal italian campsites, former military base during the Second World War, bought in 1957 from the at the time mayor Umberto Paternostro from the Minister of Defence, the camping La Batteria takes its name from the coastline where it is situated called beach “la batteria”. 
On the wonderful and very wide veranda/panoramic viewpoint facing the sea, there are still the iron and concrete defences on which the  military artillery battery was positioned in the Second World War. 
By virtue of its military base function, the camping is situated on the highest and most exposed promontory of the gulf of Manfredonia. 
The campsite hosts inside a thick and secular pine forest overlooking the sea, in the shade of which the 45 pitches for campervan/caravan are situated. The pitches for ridge tents (about 30) are situated in the shade of the tree-lined windbreaks. All pitches have a spectacular sea view. 
Inside the camping there are two large blocks (former military guesthouses) that ,following the very recent renovation of the entire area, have been converted into serviced accomodation: the first block accommodates 5 bungalow/one bedroom apartements fitted with private bathroom and a veranda with garden that ensures privacy to its guests.
