Camping Roma Flash Sporting is situated on the western shores of Lake Bracciano approx 40 Km north of Rome. It is featured in the Alan Rogers "Italy" guidebook. The site has 2 main pitching areas. There is the area nearest to the Lake which is very well shaded, made dark even, by mature tree and where the pitches are packed closely together. The second area is further from the Lake and more open although it still has some shade. The pitches tend to be larger in this second area. There are, also, some static caravans in this area. Dog owners are restricted to the second area and dogs are, also, banned from the Lakeside and the Lake itself.
The Lake is a reservoir for Rome's drinking water but can be used for swimming and non-powered boating. There is a beach and grass sunbathing area. The site, also, has a bar restaurant adjacent to the Lake with a terrace overlooking the Lake. This serves reasonably priced food. There is, also, a small shop where bread can be ordered each evening for the next day. The shop and restaurant do not accept cash but use an card which can be "loaded" with cash. This card, also, serves to open the entrance barrier. There are, also, tennis courts (charged), a small outdoor pool and tennis table (both free). There is, also, a sports area. The toilets blocks are clean and adequate and include a washing up room and launderette with washing machines and dryers.
The town of Bracciano has a hilltop castle which makes a picturesque backdrop to the Lake views from the campsite. There is a local bus service into the town which has a weekly market, several small supermarkets and a good range of other shops. There is a railway station with regular trains into the centre of Rome some 45 mins journey away. We travelled in twice during our stay and enjoyed seeing the famous sites for the first time.
Elide the lady owner, who is always on duty in reception, speaks excellent English. I do have a slight reservation here in that whilst generally helpful I noticed that she could be rather rude and aggressive to guests with whom she disagreed and quite abrupt and sarcastic at other times. There are PAYGo internet facilities on 2 computers in the reception area. (It is whilst using the internet facilities that I heard Elide arguing with some of the guests.)
This is a good site for visiting Rome with the cooler Lakeside to recuperate by. The breezes from the Lake were pleasantly cooling when the temperatures were in the mid 30's Celsius. We stayed 10 days in early August in our caravan. There were free pitches available throughout the time we stayed there
