About El Bahira Camping Village

Where do you find a Sicilian campsite with the sea at the bottom of the garden and a mountain on the horizon? Right here, on the rocky cliffs of the Gulf of Cofano, where El Bahira Camping Village looks out over the water and Monte Cofano. It sits on the west side of the cape, so every evening comes with a front-row sunset. What do the kids get out of it? Plenty. The pool has its own children's area, the mini club and the animation team keep days and evenings busy in high summer, and there is a playground, an inflatable, tennis, five-a-side football, volleyball and ping pong. Babies, toddlers, primary-school children and teenagers all find their corner, while parents watch from a sun lounger by the pool. And the grown-ups? Climbers have a well-known base with a common area, mountain bikers and walkers head straight out onto the trails, and the grounds are dotted with pines, olive trees, cacti and dwarf palms. Zingaro Nature Reserve is 15 km away, Monte Cofano Nature Reserve 6 km, and the town of San Vito Lo Capo, with its beach, 6 km. Erice and Trapani make easy day trips at 35 km and 40 km. Eat at the restaurant with its covered sea-view terrace, order a pizza, treat everyone to an ice cream, and finish the day with that sunset. Sicily has never been so easy to book.

Frequently asked questions

Free wifi is available in the public areas of the campsite, so you can share holiday snaps, check the route to Zingaro Nature Reserve or plan tomorrow's crag without leaving the grounds. Settle on a terrace with a cold drink and a Sicilian sunset, and stay connected with home while you unwind.

Surroundings

El Bahira lies in wild, mostly rural country on the north-west tip of Sicily. Rocky cliffs drop to pebbly coves and white sandy beaches, while the grounds are planted with pines, olive trees, cacti and dwarf palms. Monte Cofano Nature Reserve is 6 km away and Zingaro Nature Reserve 15 km, ideal for walking and cycling. The nearest town, San Vito Lo Capo, is 6 km from the gate, with its beach, cafés and shops. Space, sea air and big skies: this is Sicily at its most natural.

“Book a table on the covered sea-view terrace around sunset: the west-facing cape turns the Gulf of Cofano gold. Pack a swimming cap for everyone, because caps are compulsory at the pool, and you'll be splashing in no time. Head for Zingaro Nature Reserve, 15 km away, in the morning for cooler walking and a swim in a pebbly cove. Climbers will love the common area on site, the natural spot to swap routes and plan tomorrow's crag. Water shoes are a smart idea for the rocky shoreline; the equipped area has parasols and sunbeds for a fee, subject to availability. Bue Marino cove is only 2 km away, so hire bikes at the campsite and take a picnic for a lazy afternoon. Spend a day in San Vito Lo Capo, 6 km away: beach in the morning, a wander through town afterwards. Travelling with little ones? The children's pool and the mini club give them their own corner of the campsite. Erice, 35 km away, makes a perfect half-day trip, and Trapani, 40 km, is a natural add-on.”
