Tip from our team
Heading to the beach after breakfast? Pack towels and a parasol for the 700 m stroll to fine sand, and your morning is sorted. Book a summer stay if spa time matters: the jacuzzi, sauna and hammam by the pool are perfect after a day out. Early afternoon is the moment for Filitosa, about 20 km north, where a prehistoric site brings Corsica's past to life for children. Fozzano, 10 km north, is an insider favourite: its old vendetta towers make a great story to tell the kids. Sartène, 15 km away, makes a lovely half-day outing for the whole family, with plenty of atmosphere. Order your fresh bread in advance, and breakfast at your accommodation turns into a small daily treat. Travelling with a dog? One dog per accommodation is welcome, so tell us when you book and pack the vaccination record. Hiking boots in the boot of the car? The mountain trails around the Gulf of Valinco start close by and suit every pace. Pool hours run 10:00-19:00, so plan a swim between a beach morning and an evening drink at L'Atlantis.
Reviews
Mixed review!“Mixed review: camping is more of a "base camp" for visiting the region. Old mobile home with cleanliness to be reviewed No entertainment in September, restaurant closed, and grocery store open with reduced hours Positive points: very beautiful panoramic view and quiet Services unworthy of a 4-star”
ManueP385
Our second home.“We love this campsite. This is our 3rd time coming here. We feel right at home. It's quiet and relaxing. The person at the front desk is super nice. We will definitely come back. For a few days, we had 2 crazy women who parked under our bedroom window. (The campsite has nothing to do with it). No respect for privacy.... apart from that the paths are a bit bumpy.... maybe to be reviewed...”

A campsite in urgent need of improvement...“An unfinished campsite... as for me, site 35, a real Paris-Dakar to get to your mobile home (dirt path), ridiculous dangerous pool, 20 lounge chairs without umbrellas for 300 campers, no entertainment, expensive grocery store... in short, to be avoided... only deserves 2 stars...”
