Camping near the Amalfi Coast: Sites and Travel Costs
Overview
For a camping trip near the Amalfi Coast, choose a suitable established campsite and compare the full cost of reaching the places you want to visit. A cheaper pitch does not automatically mean a cheaper Positano stay.

Choose a campsite and confirm the booking
One option to research is Santa Fortunata – Campogaio in Sorrento. This is a base outside Positano, not a campsite in the town.
Confirm your dates, tent or vehicle suitability, pitch availability and total nightly price, including required fees. Ask what equipment and facilities are included; check linen and towels if booking a cabin.
Plan the full journey and budget
Check the campsite-to-station or harbour leg as well as the current SITA service information for the onward trip to Positano. Plan the last usable return and confirm parking or vehicle-access limits directly. Do not assume the coastal road is a suitable walking route.
Add transport, equipment and time to the pitch price, then compare with Hostel Brikette room options for staying in Positano. Compare the same dates and party size; no option is guaranteed to be cheapest.
Campsite etiquette and safety
Follow the site’s quiet hours and current fire rules, use designated waste facilities and keep away from cliff edges or unmarked ground. Do not light a fire unless explicitly permitted.
What to check before packing
- Ask the campsite which electrical connector and lead are required; bring equipment approved for its setup rather than relying on a generic travel adapter.
- Ask whether shade is provided and whether you may put up a tarp or awning on your pitch.
FAQs
Is wild camping allowed?
Do not assume permission to pitch a tent on a beach, viewpoint or trail. Check the relevant municipality and protected-area authority for that location; the Comune di Positano is the starting contact for Positano. Book an established campsite rather than relying on a blanket rule for the whole coast.
How far ahead should I book?
Ask the campsite about availability for your exact dates and accommodation type, especially for summer. Confirm booking and cancellation terms; there is no universal number of months that guarantees a place.
