THE DESTINATION
THE DESTINATION & where to find it
Sasso Corbo occupies 23 hectares of sloping hillside in a quiet corner of the Maremma, the least-visited stretch of Tuscany. The campsite overlooks a wide valley with views reaching to the surrounding hills. The WWF Rocconi wildlife reserve borders the property.
With only around 40 pitches spread across the terrain, the density is remarkably low. Each pitch has enough space and separation that you can go hours without seeing another guest. The hillside layout means most spots come with an open view. Paths wind down through the property to a river at the bottom, and the walk takes roughly an hour if you stop along the way.
The central area is small and informal: a bar, a pool, and a few communal tables. That is the extent of the built infrastructure. The rest is trees, grass, and open land.
THE EXPERIENCE
THE EXPERIENCE & what to expect
The pace at Sasso Corbo is slow by design. There is no animation team, no scheduled program, no pressure to do anything at all. Most guests spend large parts of the day simply looking at the view. It is that kind of place.
The bar operates on a trust system and stays open around the clock. You pour your own drink, note it down, and settle up later. It doubles as the social hub. Conversations happen naturally here, especially in the evenings when guests gather after the communal dinners that run twice a week. The cooking is done by Domenica, one of the owners, and the meals draw most of the campsite. Wine flows freely, and evenings tend to stretch late.
Accommodation splits into two categories. The camping pitches are first come, first served. Arrive around midday for the best selection. If you do not have camping gear, the five safari tents are a strong alternative. Each has two bedrooms (one double, one with bunks), a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace facing the valley. The sunset views from those terraces are a highlight.
Children have space to roam here. During summer, activities like baking bread over a bonfire are organised. The property is large enough that families and couples who want a bit more quietness can coexist without friction.
The owners, Bas and Domenica, are Dutch and have run the campsite for over a decade. They are always around, always available, and manage the site with a light touch. Rules are few. The atmosphere is positive and trusting.

GETTING THERE & what to know
getting there
The nearest international airports are Pisa and Rome Fiumicino, each roughly two and a half hours by car. From Rome, take the A12/E80 coastal motorway and exit near Grosseto. From there, a winding but scenic road leads inland through the Maremma hills. The nearest train station is Grosseto, about 60 kilometres away. A car is essential, both for reaching the campsite and for exploring the region. GPS can lose signal near the village of Petricci, but signposts to Sasso Corbo appear from there. The terrain is hilly and the final approach is steep. The campsite offers free transport of caravans to and from your pitch.
where to stay
Around 40 camping pitches are spread across the hillside, each with generous spacing and most with valley views. Pitches are unassigned and allocated on arrival. Five safari glamping tents are available to book in advance, each sleeping up to six with a double bedroom, a bunk room, a full kitchen, and a private terrace. Price band is mid-range for both options.
when to go
Sasso Corbo is open from late April to late September. The core summer months of June through August are the busiest, with families arriving and the campsite often full. Booking ahead is strongly recommended for this period. May and September offer warm weather with fewer guests, a quieter atmosphere, and more pitch selection on arrival. Southern Tuscany is hot and dry in July and August, with temperatures regularly above 30 degrees. Spring and early autumn are milder and better suited to hiking and day trips.
what to know
The campsite runs on trust and informality. The bar is self-service. Bread can be ordered fresh, eggs come from the property, and vegetables are available from the garden. A small shop covers the basics if you do not want to drive to a supermarket. Communal dinners happen twice a week and are worth joining for the food and the company. The weekly wine tour to the local bio winery is a highlight. The property is hilly, so be prepared for uneven terrain and some walking between your pitch, the pool, and the communal area.
