Pitches in the Corsican forest (added by manager 22 Feb 2024)
New
Spacious pitch with camping kitchen and picnic table
Immerse yourselves in the forest
Free donkey rides

  • Peaceful forest pitches immersed in the Corsican countryside
  • A 20-minute drive from the east coast; close to swims in Golo river
  • Donkey hikes and traditional music evenings on site
If you’re hankering to leave everyday modern life behind for a while and go back to a time when everything was simpler, a stay at Camping Petra Pinzuta might suit you rather well. Out here in the Corsican countryside it feels a bit like stepping back in time – you’ll be staying at a large wooded park with traditional stone buildings at its centre and peaceful pitches completely immersed in natural forest. On top of that, you may be able to join one of the weekly (free) hikes with the site's donkeys, or a Corsican evening with a guitarist strumming traditional tunes for a relaxed vibe. Table tennis and table football are on site for a bit more gentle entertainment too. The views from here are pretty fabulous, looking up towards the mountains on one side and the coast on the other. It’s likely to entice you out for some exploration, and that's easily done with marked hiking trails close by and various options for watersports and adventures like canyoning. Such things can be hot work, so it’s handy to be coming back to a location close to the banks of the Golo river where you can have a fresh swim to cool off. The coast isn’t far off either if you’d prefer a dip in the sea – the nearest beaches are about 15 minutes’ drive away. Of course, modern amenities can be very useful sometimes – the washing machine, the wifi and the bathrooms (with showers and toilets) are all likely to be handy at some point during your stay. You may also find it useful to have the T20 main road and Barchetta’s railway station a little under a kilometre away.

Fully-serviced earth tent or campervan pitch

Liked: This site it’s superb! Each perfectly flat pitch has been lovingly crafted into the side of the mountain- and most are equipped with tap, sink, bench and fridge. The owners, Pascal and Corinne are some of the kindest people I have ever met. They made us feel so welcome, and offered their time and hospitality so generously. I loved our hilarious conversations that were part made up of French, English and sign language! They offered lots of ideas for places to swim and lent us guidebooks too. I am left with a warm glow in my heart thinking about these people, and our amazing trip to Corsica. My son loved spending time with the donkeys, and we even took one donkey for an adventure up the mountain. This was something we will remember forever. We loved visiting the forests and cascades in the mountains, and days at the sea too. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful place.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Great very spacious campsites with lots of privacy in a beautiful surrounding. Very friendly owner and our daughter was very happy with the donkeys on the campground. Swimming in the river nearby (10-15 minute walk). Sanitary basic, but very clean.

Local attractions

Hiking boots are useful things to pack if you’d like to explore Corsica’s craggy coast and mountains – there are hiking trails of all sorts around including forest walks and more challenging routes climbing mountains like Monte Sant’angelo (half an hour’s drive) and Monte San Petrone (45 minutes). Mountain bike hire/tours, canyoning, horse riding and watersports like paddleboarding or scuba diving are all available nearby too, along with family-friendly attractions such as Western Park waterpark (25 minutes) and Corsica Zoo (45 minutes). You may also like to take a wander around the city of Bastia (half an hour), visiting the old port and climbing to the historic Citadel. All a bit too active? Head to one of the nearby beaches instead – Plage de Cap Sud (20 minutes) and the lengthy Plage de Pineto (25 minutes), backed by a lagoon, are a couple of the top picks.
