Last fall, we made a day trip to Camogli from Rapallo, but everything we did from Rapallo, you can easily do from where you will be. We went to 20 places in our 8 days. You can take your pick. Plenty to see and do. Beautiful area. Here is our trip report: Rapallo/Cinque Terre/20 Places/8 Nights Sept/Oct

I love Camogli - I spent three nights there a couple of years ago. I was just there again last week - I spent two nights in Rapallo and day tripped up to Camogli. I preferred Camogli - it's just a smaller town, quieter, less touristy (except by Italians in the summer). Rapallo is fine, and has the benefit of getting more trains stopping there (some trains don't stop in Camogli at all). But I would note that Rapallo's harbor had a lot of damage from a nasty storm last October, so the harbor area has a lot of construction cranes and chain fences making the promenade area kind of ugly right now.

The hotel I stayed at in Camogli two years ago, the Casmona, is closed for renovation right now so I can't recommend it this year.

If you can handle walking up steps, consider walking up to San Rocco. It is quite a walk up, but if you take your time it can be done in about a half hour. I did it last week in about 20 minutes, hustling to get up there before sunset to photograph it. The view down from up there is pretty lovely. (You can also take a bus up I think.)

You can take a ferry from Camogli to the abbey at San Fruttuoso and on to Santa Margherita Ligure (then take the train back to Camogli). If you are semi-serious hikers, you can even hike from San Rocco mentioned above to San Fruttuoso (don't take the batterie route, it is an extremely difficult hike that requires you to scale across in some spots by holding onto chains! The other route via batterie is apparently less scenic but much easier.)
