- 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.

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.
