Mountain in the sea, Corsica is a land where festive, cultural, and gastronomic traditions perfectly blend with the beauty of its preserved and multifaceted landscapes. Be amazed everywhere, whether along beaches, gorges, fragrant forests, Genoese towers, ancient bridges, remarkable sanctuaries, prestigious villas and palaces, monumental tombs by the roadside, or by encountering cows, pigs, or horses roaming freely. Corsica is easily reachable by plane via Bastia, Ajaccio, and Figari, or by ferry from Nice, Toulon, and Marseille.

In Upper Corsica, start by strolling through Bastia from the palm trees of the vast Place Saint-Nicolas to the citadel, the old port, the Governors’ Palace, and richly decorated sanctuaries. After exploring the wild Cap Corse, dotted with small fishing ports, stay at a campsite in the Gulf of Saint-Florent, near the Agriates Desert. On the heights, a beautiful collection of perched villages enlivens the Balagne, known as the garden of Corsica.
The stunningly rugged west coast offers incredible panoramas along cliffside roads to L’Île-Rousse, Calvi, Porto, the Piana calanques, Cargèse, and Propriano. In Southern Corsica, the imperial city of Ajaccio bears the mark of Napoleon I, with a museum and many monuments. After visiting the citadel, the colorful cathedral, and the art at the Fesch Palace, continue to the Sanguinaires Islands, glowing at sunset.
Spend nights amid the pleasant scents of the maquis, climbing the rocky peak of Sartène overlooking the Gulf of Valinco. Dolmens, menhirs, and prehistoric curiosities abound, as at Filitosa.
Farther south, facing Sardinia, discover the spectacular white cliffs of the famous port of Bonifacio and the Lavezzi archipelago. Just over 20 km north lies the dreamlike site of Porto-Vecchio, with turquoise waters dominated by the red spires of Bavella and the vast Ospédale forest – the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The flatter eastern coast stretches for tens of kilometers with dunes and wild beaches, from the Aléria plain to the enormous Biguglia lagoon – ideal when staying near Solenzara or Moriani.
From your campsite, explore the Castagniccia region, under the calming shade of ancient chestnut trees, admiring old buildings with bold bell towers. Venture along the winding mountain paths around Corte and the Restonica Valley, up to high-altitude lakes and Monte Cinto (2,706 m), the island’s highest peak. Along the legendary GR 20, countless trails of all distances crisscross the region, with memorable cycling routes available for rent almost everywhere.
Unforgettable boat excursions allow closer views of stunning caves and marine inlets. Along Corsica’s coastline, enjoy sailing and many other water sports.
Corsican gastronomy is ever-present, showcasing fruits, cheeses, fish, charcuterie, and wines – light or full-bodied – to savor at your campsite or in the welcoming atmosphere of typical countryside inns.
To fully enjoy this magical ambiance, enhanced by polyphonic singing and encounters that preserve the island’s sense of hospitality, make sure to book your Corsica campsite early, especially if visiting in summer.
