Camping Casa dei Prati

The campsite is located on Elba Island, a small island nearby Tuscany, in a quiet and peaceful area and is run by the owners themselves, so is perfect for those who are searching for a place where they can feel at home.

The Camping overlooks the beautiful Gulf of Lacona and its famous sandy beach.
Being in the centre of the island, Lacona is not far from the main towns like Capoliveri, Porto Azzurro and Marina di Campo as well as the most popular beaches.
The island of Elba offers a marvellous variety of scenery, from small hidden coves to long sandy beaches; each corner of Elba holds its own special surprise for visitors. The island is washed by crystal clear water in every shade of blue, a paradise for divers and snorkellers. It's wooded hills make it ideal for hikers, it's panoramic roads so popular with mountain bikers.

The campsite is run by me, my brother and my mum. Me and my brother were born on the island. My mum is from Thailand. We speak Italian, English, Thai, Spanish and German a little bit. Next to the campsite we have a small farm, we produce extra virgin olive oil, some fruits and vegetables, grapes. We're on a heartwarming journey to make our campsite even more enchanting, and we're searching for kindred spirits who share our passion for nature, creativity, and community. This season, we're eager to infuse our space with the gentle energy of yoga and the vibrant strokes of art, creating a sanctuary where every soul feels at home. But our canvas is broad, and there's plenty of room for more colors! Aside from yoga and art, we're looking for helping hands in maintaining our lush gardens and cozy accommodations, painting and decorating our facilities to mirror the beauty of our surroundings, tackling a variety of repairs or construction projects, and keeping our garden and communal areas pristine. We also have bicycles available and if you have the skills, we would appreciate help with their periodic maintenance and check-ups. In addition to the tasks we've outlined, we're also looking for photographers and videographers to contribute images and videos for our website and social media. If you love capturing moments, your skills can greatly enhance our mission. Volunteering with us is all about equality, friendship, and sharing. It's a chance to live, learn, and laugh as part of a community that values each person's contribution and unique sparkle. Here's what we promise: a volunteering schedule that respects your time and spirit, asking for no more than five hours a day of your magic, with one day off each week to explore, relax, or create. You'll rest your head in a caravan, shared bathrooms. While volunteers are responsible for their own food expenses, we've got your mornings covered with coffee, tea, biscuits, milk, yogurt, cereals, toast bread, jam, and butter.. So, if you're yearning to connect with nature, unleash your artistic flair, and be part of a community that cherishes friendship and sharing, we can't wait to hear from you. Share your story with us, tell us about your passions, and let's explore how you can leave your mark on our little paradise. We're sending you a big, warm hug and can't wait to welcome you into our community. Together, let's make this season unforgettable! 💖✨

This was my second time at Casa dei prati and I had a really nice experience once again.
I helped in several things around the campsite but my favourite part was the DIY projects that we did to decorate the food truck area.
This experience gave me the opportunity to explore the island as we rented a car between the volunteers for two weekends and I couldn’t recommend it enough :)
Thank you betty for give me the opportunity to repeat this great experience!! 💗

I had such a wonderful time at Casa Dei Prati! I met 3 other lovely volunteers and I had lots of free time to explore the Island with my yoga teaching schedule. Overall I had an amazing experience. The campsite is great and the island is beautiful. I also really enjoyed teaching yoga in the mornings and evenings

Returning to CDP for the second time was a joy! I came to experience the island in season and see the campsite come alive - it didn't disappoint. Very grateful to the whole CDP team for the laughs, warmth and flexibility that made it feel like a second family. Evening food truck shifts with live music and great people were a vibe. Outings and local experiences with the team became core memories. Two unforgettable months! Grazie di cuore per tutto – alla prossima :) 🫶

This was my second time at Camping Casa dei Prati, and it was even better than the first. Visiting in peak season meant everything was open, so I met great people and had amazing experiences. The staff are incredibly helpful and often include you in activities after work. There are endless ways to immerse yourself in the island's culture—it felt like one long holiday. I highly recommend this experience. Thanks for having me back, Betty—wish I didn’t have to leave!

This was my first Worldpackers trip, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had the best time helping out in such a beautiful location, surrounded by great people and the chillest vibe. I really enjoyed using my creativity to help paint the campsite as well! It was a bit difficult to get around without a car, but I didn’t mind much because during the week, I went to Lacona Beach a lot, which was just a 10-minute walk from the campsite. On weekends, we had more time if we wanted to rent a car and go on longer excursions. Also, you're surrounded by cute cats all day long :)
