Rome - Camping

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of the campgrounds around Rome? Any comments or suggestions would be most welcome.

It has been a few years, but I stopped at a canp ground outside of Rome once that wasn't far from the train. Italian campgrounds weren't cheap and there isn't a lot of space between the tents, but it was fun. It was named "Happy Camp", so I guess we were all happy campers.

Guide books like Lonely Planet , Let's Go, or Guide Routard have pretty good advice.

I'm familiar with the joys of Italian "camping". I've been cycling around Italy for a month and a half.😀
I was just wondering if anyone out there had any current experience with any of the Roman campgrounds.

When I was there, I did "wild camping" generally outside of the towns. To bed at dusk, up at dawn. No trace but matted grass left behind.

In Rome, I stayed at a youth hostel. I think in Rome, it was on the North side, up near an Olympic stadium. A bit out of the way, but I had the bike with me.
