CAMPING LA MANDRAGOLA
Campground located in a vast pine forest on the outskirts of the fishing village of Santa Lucia
Set in a vast, leafy pine forest on the outskirts of the fishing village of Santa Lucia, La Mandragola campsite relies on its surroundings for a good vacation. The trees, in rows so close together that it is sometimes difficult to pitch a tent between two trunks, provide welcome shade and protection from the wind. Access to the beaches is by foot. There are 3 beaches within a radius of 500 meters. Santa Lucia, despite its small size, has several restaurants and bars. This campsite is a nice alternative to the big structures.

Strand ist echt schön und das kleine Örtchen einen Besuch wert.
NO POTABLE WATER ?
Crazy. They are even too lazy to tell you that you cannot drink or even cook with the tap water! They won't even tell you that you should get the water from a cistern wagon behind the camping village in the late morning.
SEPARATED TRASH BINS ?
Of course they have different trash stations and kind of different bins. Separation of trash seems to be regulated. But you will never see an employee picking up trash that has fallen on the floor. It's not working properly either. Looking into different bins will prove it. Nobody really cares for trash separation. If you don't believe it, go around the laundry station.
TOURISTINFOS ?
When you ask at the reception about the ads in front of the desk, they'll tell you to call the advertiser yourself how it works.
They won't give you information about a vegetable market just behind the camping village or a good fish restaurant nearby.
They won't tell you that the tantra festival end of September will keep you sit upright in your bed and far away from the good night sleep until late in the night.
LANGUAGES ?
Italian is key. Why should they learn German or English? Never seen a French guy anyway. The more you learn, the more work you have. This is not what many want.
NO MAINTENANCE ?
They do not make repairs on broken toilet doors until the tantra festival in the end of September. Because the organizers of the festival will need to fix the doors before the big event anyway.
And they definitely won't repair anything on the playground. Every fixed installation, was without doubt fixed by a campground guest.
TWO STRAYING DOGS ?
Stray dogs are a real problem. Because they pee on the tents and can intimidate small children. And, of course, they also want to stick their noses in the food of the guests. The management doesn't really care. Actually the rule is to have the dogs on the leash. But nobody checks that the other end of the leash is in a hand of a human. Rule accomplished.
QUIETNESS ?
People who want to have their peace and quiet are placed next to the children's playground. Their response to criticism is: there are no children in the playground. Or: The lady must be complicated, or what?
RESTAURANT
Very good Pizza. Good coffee. Very affordable ice cream. But a limited offer, especially in the end of the season. These people are friendly and actually work. Without surprise it's another company and not the same like the campground management.
LOCATION
Too good for the bad management. Beach is great and the pine trees lovely. The management says, it's the best. So they will never have to build a pool or have to really work hard.
