About this campground

History of the place

Monte Aurora

From the first moments you arrive at Monte Aurora, the freshness of the air and the silence of the forest invite you to breathe deeply and explore at your own pace. The campground is designed to blend with its natural environment, offering spacious plots under the shade of the trees, ideal for setting up tents, caravans, or gathering with family around campfires at night. Rest areas under the pine canopies, hammocks, and strategically placed benches turn any moment into a cozy pause to contemplate the mountain beauty. The facilities include spaces designed to gather around the fire and marked trails that enter the forest, inviting hikes and explorations on foot or by bicycle, discovering streams, local birds, and mountain panoramas that only a region like this can offer. Monte Aurora is much more than a place to pitch a tent: it is a starting point for gentle or intense adventures in nature. From picnics by hidden streams to hikes along wooded routes with unique panoramic views, the campground becomes a space to celebrate every moment of the day under a starry sky. Monte Aurora is not just a campground: it is a place where each sunrise among pines opens the door to new adventures and each sunset transforms the forest into a home away from the city.
