The location isn't great, but the price more than makes up for it. For 15 Euros a night, it isn't a big deal if it takes almost an hour of commuting to get into Rome.
Like other campgrounds in Italy, you have a cabin with a wall in the middle so if your neighbors are noisy (ours were) it can be hard to sleep. If the place isn't filled though you can request to move to a cabin without a group on the other side.
The market helps you save a lot of money and the restaurant is very cheap (6.50 Euros for the special every night, which we got every night for 3 nights). The only drawback is that there isn't a kitchen to cook what you buy at the market.

Hi!
i was in tiber in end of april. I liked the place, yes, not the closest one, but it was a bit suprising, when i booked a room for 2, and i got a semi-detached bungalow, wich is just a box and you can hear everything from the neigbours. BUT everything else was fine in the place.

It is a little chillier at Camping Tiber (especially at night). It is colder than in the city. But my experience in Rome was life-enriching and Camping Tiber made it all the better. A very clean place and convenient to get to (except after midnight...so if you plan on arriving after midnight give Camping Tiber a call for clear directions).

I've stayed in many hostels throughout Europe and this was by far the best one I've ever stayed at!!

Two hints:
Don't take a room next to the restaurant. It was very noisy until 2 a.m.
Make sure that you catch the last train (ferrovia) to Tiber Camping otherwise you have to take a taxi in the night. That costs about 60 Euros from Flaminio.
The staff is very friendly.

Tiber Hostel was my first hostel experience. It was situated quite a ways away from Rome at first glance, but that was only because we were laden with luggage and had no idea where we were. However, by first day's end, we knew the metro system back to front. Be sure to purchase a MetRo pass (sold everywhere, available in different day increments, going up to 7 days for about 16 or 17 Euros, VERY cheap and you will use the MetRo A LOT). But the directions given on the Tiber site from Rome to the Hostel were simple to follow after some interaction with the locals. We had the shuttle pick us up from outside the Prima Porta train stop, the shuttle comes every half hour and is labeled 'Camping Tiber'. The staff were courteous and a great help, especially my man Charlie the Market Man. He was/is so cool.
There wasn't much to do at night at the Hostel, but the conversations with the locals and tourists proved to be great fun. Make sure you use the new bathroom facilities and not the old ones. The new ones are sooooooo spacious and shiny looking. The rooms are cheap as well and heat up very quickly (Roman nights are so cold).
A downside was that the showers only had a very hot or very cold setting. Perhaps that is being worked upon or I was just unlucky each time I showered.
BOOK TIBER!

It was too far out of Rome! The actual hostel is great, but it is impossible to go out at night, as the night transport is generally unavailable. But the shuttle was useful.
