UKC

Hi, Any preferences for campsites at Camping Cortina d'Ampezzo would be appreciated. Via Ferrata trip. I was going to make contact with them about arriving in wee small hours - if that was possible. Any info would be appreciated. Cheers.

There should be good info for you there.

Camping Cortina shut the barrier between certain times. Maybe 11pm-8am. This means you cannot drive in and out but I'm sure if you make contact, they will arrange something. They were eager to please us when we wanted to leave at 0600 but don't think they realised we were on foot :P

Many thanks. Couldn't open your video though?

Fixed

In reply to gilliesp:

All campsites (as far as I know), and certainly Camping Olympia, have a parking area outside for late arrivals. You should stay there until normal opening time and not disturb people sleeping by setting up at night. It's highly unlikely anyone will lift the barrier in the wee small hours anyway.

+1 for Olympia. Had a great time there and the oweners were dead chilled compared to other sites we stayed at!

In reply to LJC:

Yes! They've always been nice to me too. I've never stayed at any of the other ones in Cortina as Olympia is very agreeable. I'm hoping it's the best of them

In reply to gilliesp: stayed at Camping Dolomitic on south side of town last month.Stayed 4 days, nice location
And good facilities.Parking area in front of site if you arrive late,.Also small shop on site opens in morning for basics.
Looked at other 2 sites nearby, and thought this one much nicer, have a good trip.

Thanks all. Seems most of the sites have plus factors.

are there power outlets available at Camp Olympia? I am camping there later this summer, and it would be useful for charging up my camera - can always use the car if not.
