With budget airlines and relatively cheap travel to marvellous places like Rome my main reason for staying at a camping site is to keep the overall price of the trip down. By doing this I can afford to travel more widely and see more exciting places. I read intensely about the places I am going to visit before I go to ensure that I know as much as possible about the place I am visiting. My main interests are history ( political and Christian) and Architecture and Art. Last year I stayed in one of the tents at Plus Camping Roma and it suited my purpose very well. I reviewed this in an article last year. This year I returned with my 20+ year old son. We stayed in a "bungalow" this year. The bungalow accommodation was excellent value. It had comfortable single beds, an en suite toilet wash basin and shower. The shower was very good. There was no fridge. I wasn't sure about this before we arrived but seemingly only "chalets" have fridges not "bungalows". Bungalow is a grandiose name for what is really one half of a mobile home type metal hut, the other half being occupied by other campers. The lack of a fridge was not a great inconvenience because milk can be bought each morning from the camp shop and food can be purchased as necessary from the Panorama supermarket. The location of our bungalow could not have been worse. It was the nearest one to the disco/pub/restaurant and loud thumping music was played until 2.30am almost every night. This was followed by campers who rattled their suitcase wheels along the recessed joints of the paviours of the main thoroughfare outside our hut leaving for the airport at all times of the day and night. The Plus camping reception is open 24/7. Fortunately I am a good sleeper and still managed to get enough sleep to enjoy exploring Rome. The campsite is obviously aimed at young revellers and not educational explorers like my son and I but all in all it still suited our purpose. It was not entirely convenient to sit outside the bungalow and cook a meal on our little gas stoves but one New Zealander cast an envious eye on the steaming hot mug of tea that we enjoyed complaining that he couldn't get one anywhere. Our location at the most busy corner of the campsite afforded us no privacy at all but we made the most of it and chatted to those who looked in our direction as they walked past. The entrance to the camp site over the covered walkway was even worse than last year and I am surprised that Plus Camping do not send someone out to sweep up the rubbish and clean the stairs because it seriously detracts from their camping site. The glazed cover of the walkway is also broken and covered in graffiti. Apart from that I would still return to this camp site. Maybe next time my wife and I will bring the caravan.
