Can any of you recommend a site for visiting both Rome & Pompeii, I have been told it may be easier to plot up somewhere central to both venues and catch a train/bus. Quite happy to do a night in a hotel for Pompeii.
Zues is excellent. Right by the ruins and also the railway station that takes you to either Naples or Sorento. Cheap and convenient.
In Rome we stayed in Camping Village Roma. There is a bus stop right outside the campsite, a huge supermarket across the road .
September 2010 we stayed HERE for Pompeii and HERE for Rome.
Camping Spartacus was adequate for our needs and was across the road from the ruins and very close to the railway for visiting Naples and Sorento.
The place in Rome is a Sosta (N41.875813 E12.555592) adjacent to storage and has a tram stop just outside which goes straight into the central station.

Ciao, just butted in to say that your original post gave me the impression that you maybe thought you could stay sort of half way between the two (Rome & Pompei). No. They are 220 Kms apart. The advice / locations given by the other posters is excellent,and I cant add to it. Just on a personal note prefer Camping Roma Village myself in Rome.
Benvenuto,

I know the original poster said they wanted a site to stay on but for those looking for a free nights parking in Rome you could try this dead end road that we are using...
We stayed at Tiber in Rome - very nice, but many pitches under trees and quite a few midges/mozzies etc.
Spartacus was our base in Pompei - watch out for the "professionals" coming and going, hiring the "bungalows" and leaving 30 mins later - all wearing boots of course. It wwas a right laugh!

Ciao Eddied, I know you live in the area so maybe you can give us a few tips.
A couple of years ago we visited Pompeii after an excellent week at Happy Camping Village(ACSI) in Rome. When visiting Pompeii we stayed 3 or 4 days I think it was Sant' Antonio(ACSI) campsite near Vico Equense. One day we took a short walk from the site and boarded a boat to Amalfi, it was beautiful, we then took a bus along the Amalfi coast road (it was hair raising, the bus drivers really earn their money). We got off the bus and spent some time in beautiful Sorrento before getting the train back to Vico Equense. It was a fantastic memorable day.
We hope to go back to the area next March / April on our way to Sicily(Sicilia). We intend to visit Herculaneum (Ercolano) and hope you can recommend a camp site (ACSI preferred) and anything else you think we should see.
Any tips about travel to Sicily would also be very useful.
