There are some + and - :
+ Great location. Easily accessible from the Athens city center. There are two more campings in Athens but, to my best knowledge, it takes much more time to get to them.
+ Nice staff. They are helpful. We nicknamed the cleaning man "Mr. Good morning" since he greeted everyone, everywhere, at any time :) People working in such places should always behave like that man.
+ Very clean place. We were traveling through the Balkans and stayed in a number of campings. This one was the cleanest. Mr Good morning took care of every square inch.
- Lack of common kitchen and fridge. The second one is especially uncomfortable since, if you're a backpacker, you can't buy anything bigger to eat because you are not able to store it. And the temperature in summer doesn't make it easier.
- Very expensive. The price is way too high for a camp with no pool, no kitchen and no fridge.
- Very strict rules as to cleanliness and organization. You're not allowed to prepare your own food on the common tables, you're allowed only to 2 different ones. Sometimes they are both occupied and there might be a problem if a third group of people wants to eat.
We asked the staff to store our sandwiches with cheese in the fridge in the restaurant kitchen (we were going to leave the next morning and spend 2 days on a bus) but they claimed it was forbidden. Forbidden or not, in my opinion it is just kind and very helpful to let someone put their cheesey sandwiches into the fridge when there is no common fridge in the camp. The temperature didn't allow to have it fresh and not melted the next day.
There were barely few people in the camp when we arrived. We were showed to the area for tents, we put up our tent. Then we were asked to move our tent a meter away because it was "one the walking trail" then. No walking trail was visible, also no people crowding towards us were visible.

All in all, the camp is worth recommending due to its location and cleanness. There are a few points the owner should think through, like the common fridge. The price conditiones the fact that such facilities should be provided.

Not too bad. Not to far from the city center. In order to go there you'd better take a taxi to Aghia Marina metro station, which only costs 3,50 euro and then it's 5 stops to Synthagma square at the cost of 1,40 euro. The camping provides very clean bathrooms with toilet paper, soap and hand dryers. The showers are free with hot water. There is a laundry room. The mini market is a bit expensive. It's very very hot in July. If you go by caravan, I advice the use of air conditioning.

Unfriendliest camping we've ever been. Lies on a huge street on the outskirts of Athens, sanitary complex pretty old.
