Le Capanne Eurocamp, Tuscany – An Honest Family Review 2026

If you’ve been looking at Tuscany for a family holiday, you’ve probably already seen plenty of beautiful countryside, pretty villages and food that makes you want to book a flight immediately. But when you’re travelling with children, finding somewhere they’ll enjoy just as much is usually a big part of the decision.

We stayed at Le Capanne Eurocamp, near Marina di Bibbona on the Tuscan coast, and it became one of our favourite campsites we’ve visited. There’s a huge fairy-tale sandcastle with waterslides, a brilliant kids’ club, crazy golf and evening entertainment, all in a lovely green setting. There’s also a pool bar with Aperol spritz on tap, so the adults have been considered too.

What we particularly liked was being able to enjoy everything the campsite offered while still getting out to explore Tuscany. So, if you’re considering booking Le Capanne, here’s what we thought and what’s useful to know before you go.

If you want to explore Tuscany, I’d definitely look at car hire before booking. Having a car makes it much easier to visit different towns, head to the beach and pick up supplies, particularly when you’re travelling with children. There is also a railway station at Cecina, approximately 8km from Le Capanne, but you would need to organise the final part of the journey separately. If you’re considering travelling without a car, check the whole journey and its cost before committing.

That said, there is enough to do at the campsite that you don’t need to go anywhere every day. I’d allow a mixture of days out and days enjoying Le Capanne itself, rather than booking a lovely campsite and then spending the whole holiday trying to leave it.

We also noticed a fenced area close to the pool for families with dogs, which was a thoughtful addition. If you’re planning to bring yours, check the current campsite rules and make sure your chosen accommodation allows pets before booking.

What is Le Capanne Eurocamp like?

Le Capanne had a lovely feel from the moment we arrived. There are trees, flowers and lots of greenery, giving it a relaxed setting, but it’s also a lively family campsite with activities and entertainment. That combination was a big part of what we liked about it. The children had plenty to get involved with, while we could enjoy being somewhere pretty without having to organise something new to keep them busy every hour.

For our family, the routine that worked best was heading to the pool in the morning, returning to our accommodation for Luca’s nap, then exploring in the afternoon or evening. It meant we had proper time to enjoy the campsite, rather than trying to squeeze in a quick swim between outings. If you’re travelling with younger children, having that flexibility makes a big difference. You can work around naps and tiredness while still feeling like everyone is having a holiday.

The accommodation was closer together than at some of the other Eurocamp parcs we’ve stayed at, but this wasn’t a problem for us. We were really happy with our bungalow, and it worked well as a base for enjoying the campsite and exploring Tuscany.

When choosing your accommodation, I’d look carefully at the actual layout rather than simply the name or how many people it sleeps. There are different options available, so compare the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen facilities and outdoor space to see what works best for your family and budget.

It’s also worth checking exactly what’s included with your booking, particularly linen, towels and cleaning arrangements, as these can vary between accommodation types and providers. Check-in was at 4pm during our visit; if you’re arriving earlier, ask whether you can use the facilities before your accommodation is ready and keep your swimming things somewhere easy to reach.

Le Capanne Eurocamp pool areas

If your children judge a holiday on its swimming pools, Le Capanne is likely to go down well. There’s a lagoon-style main pool with gently sloping entry, a children’s pool and hydromassage features, surrounded by greenery and areas for relaxing in the sun. It’s a lovely setting for spending a morning, with different areas to enjoy depending on your children’s ages and swimming abilities.

The part that really stands out, though, is Freddy Water Castle. This huge sandcastle-style structure has towers, passages, water cannons and waterslides, and looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. It’s the sort of thing children spot and immediately want to spend the rest of the day exploring. We spent lots of our mornings around the pools, and the castle was a big part of what made Le Capanne such a hit.

The campsite currently lists waterpark access as included in your stay. Before travelling, check the pool opening dates and rules, particularly if you’re going outside the main summer season. It’s also worth checking slide restrictions for younger children so you know what they’ll be able to use before they’ve already decided which one they’re going on first.

Marina di Bibbona has public beach areas where you can take your own towels, alongside beach clubs where you can pay for facilities such as loungers and umbrellas. That gives you some flexibility depending on whether you’re heading over for a quick visit or settling in for the day. If you’re thinking about cycling there, check the route first, as the campsite’s suggested route includes a stretch on the Aurelia road rather than following a separate cycle path all the way.

Food and restaurants at Le Capanne Eurocamp

One of the things I like about a Eurocamp holiday is having options when it comes to food. You can make breakfast, prepare an easy lunch and keep snacks in your accommodation, but you can also head out for dinner when you fancy a night off. That flexibility is particularly useful with children, because some evenings everyone is happy to sit in a restaurant, and other evenings you just need to feed them something familiar and get them to bed.

Le Capanne has an on-site restaurant and pizzeria called La Corte dei Glicini, serving Italian dishes and Tuscan specialities, with children’s menus available too. Around Piazza Grande, there’s also a café, an ice cream shop and a grocery store selling fresh bread, everyday essentials and local produce. During June, July and August, the campsite advertises a weekly market in the square as well.

If you have a car, I’d do a bigger supermarket shop for your main supplies and use the campsite shop for top-ups. Having breakfast and some meals at your accommodation can help keep costs down, leaving more room in the budget for meals out and the various ice creams that inevitably become part of each day.

The pedal go-karts were another fun extra. During our stay, they cost €11 for the day, with hire available between 8am and 9pm, and bikes were available to hire too. I’d allow a little room in your holiday budget for things like this, particularly if your children are likely to spot other kids using them and immediately want a turn.

There are also facilities for football, tennis, volleyball and table tennis, plus a LEGO room, which Leo LOVED! Having somewhere to sit and build is a lovely alternative to the more energetic activities, particularly when the children need a quieter break from the pool or some time out of the sun. During our visit, the LEGO room’s advertised opening hours were 10am until midday and 3.30pm until 6pm, so check the current times when you arrive.

For children who would rather keep climbing and exploring, there’s also Freddyground, a castle-themed playground with bridges, towers and slides, advertised as a new addition for 2026. Between the playground, LEGO room and sports facilities, there’s a good mix for different ages and interests. Check which activities are included in your stay and which carry an additional charge.

Le Capanne Eurocamp kids’ clubs

The kids’ club was a real highlight at Le Capanne and one of the best we’ve seen at the Eurocamp sites we’ve visited. It was free and included in our stay, the activities were delivered in English when we visited, and the whole thing felt really well thought out. That’s useful if your child is a little nervous about joining in somewhere new, as being able to understand the team and what’s happening can make those first sessions much easier.

There was a good mix on the programme, including water games, football, dancing, archery and creative activities. The displayed sessions during our stay ran from 10am until midday and from 3.30pm until 6pm, with Saturday listed as the team’s day off. These were the arrangements when we visited, so check the current timetable when you arrive.

The campsite currently lists Mini Club for ages 4-8, Junior Club for ages 9-12 and Teen Club for ages 13-17. The age bands on our holiday timetable differed slightly, so I’d confirm which group your child would join. There was also a baby room listed for younger children, although you’ll need to check the supervision arrangements rather than assuming it operates as a drop-off club.

We like having that choice on a family holiday. You can join in when everyone has the energy, or have a quieter evening back at your accommodation when they don’t. Have a look at the programme when you arrive and see what suits your family. If you’re travelling with children who go to bed early or are sensitive to noise, it’s also worth asking where your accommodation is in relation to the entertainment areas.

Places to visit near Le Capanne

One of the reasons Le Capanne worked so well for us was being able to enjoy the campsite while still getting out to see Tuscany. I wouldn’t plan a different excursion every day, because you’ll want time for the pools and activities too, but a few trips out are a lovely way to see more of the area.

Things to know before booking Le Capanne Eurocamp

Before booking Le Capanne, I’d check what’s operating for your dates, especially if you’re travelling outside the main summer holidays. Kids’ clubs, entertainment and the beach shuttle may follow different schedules, so it’s worth confirming anything that’s particularly important to your family.

Take a little time to compare the accommodation too. Look at the layout, air conditioning and outdoor space, as well as what’s included with linen, towels and cleaning. If you want to explore Tuscany, price up car hire alongside your flights so you’ve got a realistic idea of the overall holiday cost.

The prices mentioned here are what we paid during our visit, so use them as a guide. It’s sensible to allow some spending money for extras such as go-karts, bike hire and meals out, even if you plan to do plenty of self-catering.

Finally, don’t feel you need to fill every day with plans. There is enough happening at Le Capanne to enjoy spending time on site, and having some slower mornings around the pool was a big part of what made the holiday work so well for us.

Would we recommend Le Capanne Eurocamp?

We really enjoyed Le Capanne, and it became one of our favourite Eurocamp sites we’ve visited. The water castle was a big hit, the kids’ club was excellent and the whole campsite had a lovely feel. Being able to combine that with exploring Tuscany made it a holiday that worked really well for our family.

If you’re looking for somewhere with plenty for children to do, a lovely green setting and the flexibility to enjoy both campsite days and trips out, I’d definitely have Le Capanne on your list. And being able to finish a pool morning with an Aperol spritz certainly didn’t hurt.

We combined our stay here with a few nights at Arinella Bianca Eurocamp, Corsica, and really recommend both parcs.
