Or with the urban busservice of Bracciano; the busses are departing from Piazza Pasqualetti or from Piazza Dante, one turn costs 0,80 Euro (to pay to the driver) and takes around 20 minutes to the campsite (click here to watch the time table).
Our service taxi-bus, with the following rules:

Solution car & train :
It's easy to get to the periphery of Rome by car ; not so difficult to find a parking spot is at Cesano (20 km from the campsite and to get the train there) or even the stations of “Olgiata” and “Giustiniana” are having a big parking lot, but they dont have a ticket counter. At Cesano it is possible to get a ticket called BIG which is valid for a smaller geographically area and costs 6.00 Euro.
