  • Shaded site five minutes’ walk from the sea, on Sicily’s west coast
  • Marsala's wine cellars 20 minutes’ drive; Trapani 50 minutes
  • On-site restaurant serving pizzas and freshly caught fish
If you’re planning on going to Sicily this year, consider staying at Camping Biscione, a peaceful site on the outskirts of the small town of Petrosino (five minutes’ drive), on the island’s west coast. The best bit about it? You’ll be less than five minutes’ walk from the seafront, where you can choose between a rocky shore, where kids might be able to spot assorted marine life, and a sandy stretch. Then, all you have to do is unfurl your towel and relax as you gaze upon the many fishing boats bobbing along the shore. This is also the place for watersports, from snorkelling to windsurfing. If you have your own board, you can just take to the water; if you need to hire any equipment, there are several outfits in Mazara del Vallo (20 minutes’ drive), where you can also have a go at kitesurfing. Accommodation at the site, which is popular with both families and motorcyclists, is on a green lawn shaded by tall palm trees. You won’t have to go far when you start to feel hungry, with an excellent restaurant on site serving pizza and freshly caught local fish. If you’d rather make your own meals, barbecues are allowed, and you can gather provisions from a small supermarket a five-minute drive away. There are also shops and restaurants in Petrosino town. In addition to a toilet block, there are hot-water showers (available 24 hours a day), a washing-up area and a token-operated launderette.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked: The site is probably attractive in the summer and would probably be a good location for kite surfers.

Disliked: The whole site needs investment. The ground is waterlogged, power stanchions lie on the ground in the water, the shower/toilet block is dirty, with very few facilities actually working. Showers do not have taps, dirty old curtains hang loosely off broken rails, there is nowhere to put soap/shampoos etc in the cubicles, walls are crumbling, toilets do not flush, there are insufficient hooks and no benches/chairs so nowhere to put anything down. A pack of dogs roam freely on the site and on leaving after just one night (we could not have stayed any longer) we discovered our dog had been bitten on his neck. It cost us €100 for a veterinarian and medicines. And to add insult to injury we paid €20 for the one night, despite already having paid €26 as a deposit. Unless this site is upgraded significantly we would not recommend it.

Local attractions

Unless you agree on a designated driver, it would be wise to catch a taxi to Marsala (20 minutes’ drive), where you can tour historic cellars and taste the renowned fortified wine. The city is also known for the Parco Archeologico di Lilibeo, which comprises the ruins of a Carthaginian city with well-preserved mosaics and a museum housing restored Roman and Carthaginian ships. Overlooking the sea, Selinunte Archaeological Park (45 minutes) covers the ruins of an ancient Greek settlement. After checking out the multiple temples and the necropolis, take a rest and go for a dip at the sandy beach. The salt pans around the city of Trapani (50 minutes) are well worth a look, not least for the birdlife they attract, which includes flamingos and herons. From Trapani, you can also catch a ferry to the island of Favignana, where you can spend the day exploring sheltered coves and rocky beaches.
