Camping Seven Hills Village

We stayed here on our Contiki trip in the middle of August. Come on, it wasn't that bad! Yes it's spread out, but it's seriously no big deal. The huts were a little hot in summer -- but you can't expect them to have air conditioning surely. It's a fair way to the train station, but they have a shuttle to and from the camp site -- I had no problems. No toilet paper anywhere that's for sure so make sure you take your own -- and I think that was the only real downfall. The bar was fun. the pizza place was good. The facilities wouldn't have been too bad if people could just work out the toilet flushing system -- not that hard! If you're wanting something close to town, don't stay here -- but otherwise it's fine.

I would stay away from this camping if you have trouble being in the middle of nowhere, mind paying to much for facilities, and dont like musquitos. Besides that its a great place if you wanne share tales with Australians!

Yeah look, after five months backpacking in Europe it's a big call for me to make but this was one of the few places I really can't rate too highly at all. It's cheap but I found you still didn't even get what you paid for. I paid the extra for one of the bungalows with its own shower but it didn't even work and despite advising the staff, nothing was done and no compensation or consideration was made. Yes, you have to "buy" a debit card because they don't accept cash but I found this system to be very straightforward and not a concern — you're not out of pocket at all, if you don't spend it, you get all your money back! It's dirty, the staff (generally speaking) were quite unhelpful, it's a long way out of the city and I don't recommend walking, especially with your pack! Um, the rooms are padlocked so if you're sharing with strangers you can get locked in or out! Plus there are loads of gypsies around who like to help themselves to your stuff. Look, I hate to sound negative but you can do better than this place. This is one time when it's worth paying that little bit extra. You'll save on the transport in the long run and yeah overall, you can do better so think about it.

In my mind this place is ok. I spent only five days there, but they were good ones. People were really friendly and very helpful. The bungalows could have better equipment, but I didn't spend all my time there. The center of this city is more fascinating than camping. I'm not demanding. It was a nice stay.

I stopped by here during the European Adventurer Contiki trip. My first thought was that I hated the place and it didn't get better. The complex is built on several levels. Bring your own loo (toilet) paper. It has prefabricated concrete steps not connected properly; ever heard of a spirit level? Facilities are not maintained, i.e. each of the showers has something broken — hook for clothes, outlet, tap, etc., etc. Spend some money on repairs. It's a nice 20-30 minutes plus uphill walk to the local station where you might be able to buy a ticket for a changeover station to get to Rome. Try this place when it's 30+ Celsius; the wooden huts are a treat. Well, at least the pool was nice. Bring a cap or buy one. Cheers — I won't be returning.

I stayed there during August 2004, travelling with Busabout. It's great! The bungalows are a great accommodation, with facilities and a good connection to the city. The staff are so friendly!!!

This place is horrible! It is way outside the city. There is nothing close by. They make you buy a stupid card. There are too many annoying Busabout and Contiki people here who don't know how to backpack — they consider being escorted around like you're on a school field trip to be backpacking.

Busabout (Busabout Europe), why do you bring all your happy campers here!! BAD BAD BAD! This place is stuffed! If you want to be bitten all over by whatever you're sharing a cabin bed with, you don't really care if your passports, wallets, cameras, etc. get stolen from your 'locked ' room, don't care if your sheets are stained and grotty, and want to walk up a bloody big hill every time to get to the facilities, then here's your camping ground. A lot of the staff are very unfriendly, and you have to get a stupid 30 euro card thing to pay for everything (no cash). I was lucky I only spent one night here. Just stay in Rome city, it's not many more euros for much better accommodations.

This campground was great. The only downside was the distance to the City Center. The bus could take up to two hours to get there with traffic.

Nice campsite if you want to visit Rome! Good connection with the city, and very nice people.

Seven Hills is clean, quiet, attractive, with friendly and helpful staff and some interesting wildlife. It serves as a base for group tours (mainly students, whilst we were there at Easter), but could also be recommended for motorhomes, with good size pitches, which are level and well-shaded. The residential accommodation was disappointing, and certainly not our idea of a "mobile home", although it was exactly as advertised ... two bunk beds, picnic table, toilet, wash basin. Don't expect anything else though, this is it - just a mini-dormitory, with an adjoining bathroom. Very thin walls enabled unavoidable eavesdropping on the neighbours bathroom habits, particularly at night. Ideal for heavy sleepers, but not, we suggest, for families, as it's also rather cramped. Fortunately, we moved to a bungalow, which did have a kitchen - well, 2 gas rings, a sink and a fridge (ours didn't work), but no crockery, cutlery or cooking utensils. Two courtesy plastic picnic sets were provided, and a 6 piece utensil set can be borrowed for a small deposit - but take your own can and bottle openers! Cash is not accepted for purchases on site, they have a plastic card system which is used for all purchases in the shop, restaurant, pizzeria, and to buy your ticket for the shuttle-bus to the nearest railway station (about 20 mins walk). There is an excellent train service into Rome, about 20 minutes journey time, and a reasonable supermarket near the station too.
