We stayed in a permanent tent at this camp site. It was very basic, clean and comfortable. We expected it to be noisy and busy as many young people stay here whilst backpacking. However there were also plenty of families and we knew our children would enjoy staying here rather than a hotel. They played in the pool, playground and overall we all had an enjoyable stay. I did pack earplugs which I did use. The staff at reception were absolutely fantastic, friendly and helpful. I couldn't say the same for the lady at the information desk or the girl serving at the supermarket, they were the exact opposite.

Stayed for 10 days with Thomson Al Fresco, in a beautiful mobile home. AIR CONDITIONING ESSENTIAL IN AUGUST! We were trying to meet the needs of our culture-vulture older teen and our pool-loving 10 year old. The site is small, which gives it a friendly, safe feel. Bustling pool area, but there is a second, shallow lagoon-style pool where you can find peace. The camp's own 'animateurs' provided an excellent service, encouraging people to join in sporting and entertainment activities, but not harrassing anyone. Public areas were clean and well-kept and the site is well landscaped. The restaurant and bar seemed reasonable and there was a good atmosphere there on the evenings (though if you can't tolerate the 'baby dance' mini-disco you might not want to turn up til later!) It was easy for children to make new friends at the kids club or the trampolining area. The site shop was well-stocked but expensive so we bought groceries and beer from the amazingly cheap nearby Eurospin store (car needed).
We took the camp coach into Rome on 2 mornings, getting dropped off at a convenient point after about half an hour's drive and picked up again at 6 in the evening. We spent a day at the Colosseum and Forum and a day exploring the Vatican area and museums. Tip: Take a copy of kids' passports to get concessionary entrance fees and don't forget a cover-up for ladies shoulders (sarongs fold up in your handbag) and longer trousers for men in the Vatican. We pre-booked timed entrance tickets for Vatican museum(Sistine Chapel, etc)on the internet (I Pini reception let us print them out there). Other recommendations for day trips into nearby Lazio countryside are the Villa d'Este at Tivoli (amazing water gardens and palace) and Lake Bracciano, which has picturesque lake beaches and villages.
A very successful combination of sightseeing, relaxation, good food and sunshine!

We stayed at the I Pini Camping Village from Friday to monday at the end of May. We rented a car and drove from the airport to I Pini. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find a relaxing atmosphere.
We visited Rome on both Saturday and Sunday and left our hire car at the local train station and caught a train into Rome, this was easy, cheap and very very practical!
I would thoroughly recommend this campsite for a stay, and if you had children with you they would love it also. 100% recommendation from us.

i stayed in one of their bungalos which was this cute little i-room building with a bathroom and bunkbeds. it was perfect! cheap, safe, comfortable. i loved all of the amenities that this place has to offer. they even had a bus to shuttle people into vatican city, which was really handy. stay here!!
