The only camping facility in the republic offering tent pitches, bungalows, and simple rooms in a green hillside setting. Well-maintained with clean facilities, communal kitchen, and a small bar. Bus connections to the historic center make this an affordable base. Popular with cyclists completing the San Marino route.
Camping San Marino occupies a green hillside plot on Strada di Cailungo, situated in the lower reaches of the republic roughly 3 km from the historic Città. It is the only camping and outdoor accommodation facility operating within the borders of San Marino, making it the default choice for budget travelers, cyclists, and those traveling by campervan who want to base themselves inside the republic rather than in Rimini or other surrounding Italian towns.
The site offers multiple accommodation options scaled to different budgets. Tent pitches occupy level grassed areas with electrical hookup points available. Simple wooden bungalows sleeping two to four people provide a step up from tenting without the cost of a hotel room. Basic private rooms are also available for those who want a roof and a private space at the lowest possible price point. Shared bathroom facilities are clean and regularly serviced.
Communal facilities include a covered kitchen area with basic cooking equipment, where guests can prepare their own meals. A small bar sells snacks, coffee, and cold drinks. WiFi connectivity is available across much of the site, though signal quality varies in outdoor areas. A covered social area is useful during wet weather.
Bus connections to the historic center of San Marino and to Borgo Maggiore depart from a stop near the site entrance and run several times daily. The journey to the historic center takes around 15 minutes. Cycling routes connecting the campsite to the broader San Marino territory pass directly by the property, and the site has become a recognized waypoint on the broader Adriatic cycling route.
The site is open seasonally, primarily from spring through early autumn. It draws a consistent mix of families with children, solo cyclists, and backpackers. Staff are practical and multilingual, having worked with international visitors across multiple seasons.

Tips for visiting
- Book bungalows well in advance for July and August — they are limited in number and fill quickly during the peak summer cycling season
- The site bus stop connects to both Borgo Maggiore and the historic center; pick up a schedule on arrival as services can thin out in the early evening
- Bring a padlock for the communal storage lockers — the site provides the locker but not the lock
- The hillside site is noticeably cooler at night even in summer — a sleeping bag rated to 10°C is useful even in midsummer
