Camping Sass Dlacia

I booked a week at Sass Dlacia campsite as I wanted to spend a week in the Dolomites with my two boys (14 & 7yrs old). It’s a fabulous area for walks, biking, via ferrata, picnics etc etc. Having done my research months ago (as I knew it would be a busy time), Sass Dlacia looked to be slightly less commercial and ‘car-park-like’ than some of the other campsites around. It’s also at 1700m, so that would make it nice and cool at night, with better access to higher-level walks nearby. It IS in an idyllic location (just off quiet back road up to Passo Falzarego), surrounded by forest with lovely walks and a short drive to cable cars (for MTB routes), the facilities are good and mostly clean and there is an excellent restaurant. The problem is that they have very much over-stretched themselves and crammed far too many pitches in for the facilities on offer. Ok… so it was probably the busiest week of the year (2nd week in August) and I was lucky to get a pitch in a quietish corner… but many did not and had absolutely no privacy. Campervans & tents were crammed-in and a lot of the time you had to queue for showers, washing-up and even the loos. Rubbish was taken away, but sometimes not until bins were over-flowing. The pitches are not generous by any standard. Many are not level and the ground is mostly rocky/gravel (not much they can do about that, I know) so take strong tent pegs & a hammer! It was, however, nicely quiet at night and everyone settles by 10ish (often for early mountain starts, which make sense). I’d definitely come back, though it’s bit cheap T over €500 for a week for a pitch with electric hook-up… but not in August and my suggestion to the owners would be to either add more facilities around the site or be less greedy & limit numbers to a sensible level.
