Campground, Camping, Campeggio Helios

Welcome to hell. If you have a chance to sleep at street, don't come to this campground. Street is better. I spent 1 night in the camping of Helios from July 13th to July 14th. Bad things started at the reception. Website of the camping provides a price of 10 euro for the tent place. Receptionist lady asked me to pay 20 euro. I told her about the price at the website and she responded literally: if you don't like something, back off to another camping. It was evening and I was so tired of traveling, so I decided to stay here and not to "back off". She refused to accept card and refused to issue me a receipt. So I paid 20 euro in cash, which most probably she put in her pocket (not in the company account). Well I don't mind to pay even more. However I believe it is not acceptable when personnel is stealing money and lying to the customers. Places for tents are located next to the garbage containers. Rotten compost aroma is so strong, so you can feel it throughout the whole camping area. In the toilet, there is just a hole in the floor - that's a toilet. Place for the tent is extremely dirty: it is a small square filled with dirt, dust and rocks. No grass, no plants. So I needed to completely wash my tent after staying here just for one night. Again, if you want to sleep at street Orin the forest - you would get better option to stay rather than in this camping.

The pitches are very small and on top of each other. The hot showers are token operated and one token does not last long enough. The site seemed to reasonably secure though with the office spotting anyone coming in. It was only 15€ though.

Basically this sit is ‘carry on camping’ 45 euro to stay but then everything else has a price as well. Essentially it is a carpark where the guy who runs it English improves the more money he can get out of you. There is a much better site just around the corner which there was a mass exodus to.
