Recently spent 3 days at this campsite and had a really good stay. We hired one of the mobile homes/bungalows and was very good value for money and exceptionally clean. The campsite has a small pool in a lovely setting and it was great to have a swim and lounge by the pool after a long day walking around the city. The campsite restaurant and bar is nice too, it's at the top of the campsite and has lovely views into the hills.
I would recommend this site for a short stay as it's quite small and you might get bored if you were staying longer than a week. It's about 10 miles out of Rome to Prima Porta, the little place where the train station is and then another 5 miles to the campsite. The site runs a minibus tp and from Prima Porta which starts at 08.00 and runs every hour until 11.00 and then stops until 14.00. The last bus back to the site is at 22.30 so you can get a full day in Rome if you want to. Travel on the local trains is really cheap , with the ticket to Rome costing just 1 Euro. The only thing to be mindful of is travel to the airport. We were flying out of Rome on a very early flight and couldn't use public transport to get there and so had to take a taxi and this was really expensive at 55 euros when you consider that the journey is only 20 minutes. We were told that this is because the area where the site is located does not have a taxi company and so taxis have to come out of Rome centre.
That aside, we really like the site and would go back as it's very peaceful and friendly.

GETTING THERE: From the airport via the metro: about 1.5 - 2 hours and will cost you about 12 euros pp. The metro is very easy to navigate and being from NYC, my boyfriend and I had no problem. If you take a cab/shuttle service, it'll take about 20-30 minutes. If you don't mind taking the metro, take it going but take a shuttle service back...it's worth the extra 20 Euros.

COST: This place is great for the traveler on a tight budget.

LOCATION: A bit out there, but the free shuttle service to Prima Porta station is on time and is about a 10-15 minute car ride. From there, the train takes about 20 minutes to Flaminio station which is a few stops from Termini (the main connection hub)...so total time: 25-30 minutes.

ROOMS: Less than great and not very roomy. NOT FOR PICKY TRAVELERS AT ALL. We had the cabin for 2 people. Bed isn't exactly soft, and the shower had some mildew. No toilet paper is provided (you can buy some at their store for 0.50). CNN and MTV were only the only English channels. Very small TV; you'll need a current coverter to charge things and there is a fee for extra towels (we didn't need any extra however). A slight damp smell tends to linger, just keep the windows open. No cleaning/maid service. Internet available for 4 euros per hour (can use the time in sections).

ONSITE RESTAURANT: Stay away from the steak! Their pizza and french fries are pretty good though. Decent prices and friendly staff.

OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: Stay here only if you're on a budget, don't mind taking the 25-30 minute commute into town and will spend most of your time outside and really just need a place to stay.

My husband and I booked to stay here for 5 nights and only stayed for one! We booked a bungalow which was more like a bunkerbin!! The campsite was really empty and we were above an electric pilon.... The supermarket is really small and it generally didnt have much atmosphere. However on the up side- the staff were really friendly and the shuttle bus was really handy and not far into the centre of Rome..... i would say if you were going to go there- camp and dont book a "bungalow"..... as there are places to stay in the centre of Rome that are only a little more expensive.....
