View of Mount Etna

  • Family-friendly site at the foot of Mount Etna in Sicily
  • Five minutes' drive from Belpasso and half an hour from the coast
  • Outdoor pool, bike hire, takeaway, games room and laundry facilities
Venturing out to Sicily to see the biggest volcano in Europe? Get down to this friendly site on the edge of the Parco dell'Etna protected area and you'll be well on the way. Surrounded by peaceful countryside and five minutes' drive from the small town of Belpasso, Mons Gibel Camping Park is a great vantage point from which to inspect mighty Mount Etna, jump in the car and head down to the coast (30 minutes' drive) or explore the Sicilian hinterland. Easy access to lots of the island's attractions aside, it's time to have a look at Mons Gibel Camping Park's facilities. These take some beating, what with the outdoor pool, bike hire, takeaway, games room and laundry space, plus pet-friendly amenities like a dedicated dog-walking area. Another big plus is that the place is run by an energetic and enthusiastic family of locals who are keen to show you all the best bits of the surrounding area. There's a lot of greenery about at this well-maintained site, with spacious grassy areas, shaded terraces, trees and shrubs making a very relaxing backdrop indeed. A treat for the eyes, but also for the nose, as Mons Gibel Camping Park makes a point of filling its garden with sweet-smelling aromatic plants. Ah, Sicily…

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful and clean environment with well-equipped pitches and clean facilities, including a swimming pool. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. Its location is convenient for visiting Etna, though some guests noted nearby road noise and persistent dog barking from early morning. Discrepancies in pricing between the website and on-site charges, particularly for parking and the pool, were reported. Some found pitches and showers small, and pitches lacked shade. While one guest experienced no issues, others mentioned noise as a significant drawback.

Local attractions

Did you really think you were going to come to Sicily without scaling Mount Etna once or twice? It's a 25-minute drive up to the trailhead followed by a difficult but rewarding hike. If you're in any doubt about your mountaineering abilities or want to know more about the geology and landscape, you can book with an authorised Alpine guide at reception or take the cable car and sail up to the summit instead. There are also lots of more moderate trails that follow old lava flows that are accessible straight from the site (ask at reception). The historic city of Catania (30 minutes) is within your grasp too if you're after something more urban. The coastal ​​Aci Castello and Aci Trezza areas are particularly recommended and come with spectacular views over faraglioni – dramatic offshore rocks eroded by the waves into tottering stone towers. After trotting about on the coast, turn to the area's pile of kid-friendly attractions to keep little guests in good spirits – there's Acquapark (25 minutes), a wet and wild waterpark with lots of scope for splashing, and Etnaland (20 minutes), a theme park that can be easily reached via the site's end-to-end shuttle service.
