Emerald green water, small hidden bays, a breathtaking cliff coast and beaches with the finest white sand: Sardinia is a true camping paradise. PiNCAMP presents the best campsites in Sardinia and provides you with all the important information for your next camping holiday on the fabulously beautiful Mediterranean island.
Sardinia has a relatively high density of campsites to suit all tastes. If you want a bit of luxury on your holiday, choose one of the many campsites with a swimming pool, children's entertainment programme and other amenities. However, there are also plenty of quieter and simpler campsites in the countryside, some with their own beach access.
Campsites for families can be found mainly on the east coast at Golfo di Orsei, Cala Gonone and Costa Rei a little further south. These campsites are mostly located by the water and have their own access to the sea. There is usually also an entertainment programme for children and pool areas.
The smaller campsites are scattered all over the island and often have very basic facilities. Electricity and water connections are standard, but the sanitary facilities in particular are often not up to date.
In terms of facilities, there is usually nothing left to be desired. Most campsites in Sardinia offer mobile homes with air conditioning, a playground, baby changing facilities, clean sanitary facilities, bathrooms for hire and washing machines.
Another popular form of camping in Sardinia is called agriturismo. These are state-subsidised farms designed to boost tourism in rural regions. You can spend the night there for little money and also receive an evening meal, which is usually produced on the farm. Sometimes the agriturismi are also called "agricampeggio".
The second largest island in the Mediterranean is always worth a trip for camping guests, regardless of whether you choose the north or the south of the island. Sandy beaches, picturesque bays, the breathtaking cliffs and the wildly romantic hinterland with its rugged maquis (bushes) make campers' hearts beat faster. There are also lively towns steeped in history and the enigmatic round towers of the Nuragic culture.
In the north-east is the Gallura region with its famous Costa Smeralda and Costa Paradiso beaches and its particularly attractive mountain region. On the west coast, the endless beaches of Oristano await you with cliffs, lagoon lakes and the Sinis peninsula. And Cala Luna on the east coast is considered by connoisseurs to be the most beautiful bay in the entire Mediterranean.
Olbia, the lucky one, is the centre of Gallura and, with its ferry port, the first port of call for many on Sardinia. Even though the construction boom in recent years has left its mark on the city, it is worthwhile not leaving the city directly for the campsite, but to stroll through the historic old town and take a look at the 1,000-year-old Romanesque Basilica of San Simplicio.
The sightseeing continues on the northern edge of the town up to Punta Casteddu to the Castello di Cabu Abbas, one of the prehistoric tower buildings typical of Sardinia, known as nuraghi. From there, enjoy the view over the fjord-like Gulf of Olbia and the Gallura coast with its offshore islands, the largest of which is the Maddalena archipelago. Italy's national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi is buried on one of them, Caprera.
The Costa Smeralda begins shortly after Olbia: rugged, with bizarre granite rocks, enchanted bays and fine sandy beaches on the shimmering green sea. The harbour in the centre of Porto Cervo is home to the luxury yachts of the international jet set. Winding roads lead into the hinterland into a partly archaic landscape with extensive valleys, gentle hilltops and pretty villages.
Further along the north coast, you reach the Costa Paradiso with its pristine white beaches. The Mistral and Scirocco winds offer surfers, kiters and experienced sailors the best conditions. Newcomers are better off on the more sheltered east coast.
Tip: Many of the campsites offer their guests their own surfing and diving schools, as well as filling stations for diving tanks. Some campsites also offer guided cycling and kayaking tours.
In the far south lies the Costa Rei with its numerous bays, white beaches and juniper-covered dunes. From there, it is only a stone's throw to the island metropolis of Cagliari. It is older than Rome and, to the pride of the locals, was built on more hills than the capital of Italy. The university town on the Gulf of Cagliari is a lively metropolis and bears witness to a visible ancient past, such as the Anfiteatro Romano.
Dogs are welcome at many, but not all campsites in Sardinia. Find out before you arrive at the campsite whether there are any special regulations, for example if you are staying in a mobile home and not in your own motorhome or caravan.
There are also more and more dog beaches in Sardinia where you can take your four-legged companions to the water. Here is an overview of some recommended dog beaches: - Baja Sardinia - Spiaggia Lu Postu - Cannigione - Spiaggia La Sciumara - Costa Smeralda - Spiaggia Poltu Liccia - Porto Rotondo - Spiaggia Ira - Olbia - Spiaggia Le Saline (Punta Calvone) and Spiaggia Cala Razza di Giunco - Palau - Spiaggia di Punta Nera - Poetto - Dog area at the 8th bus stop - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari - Cagliari. Bus stop - Cagliari - Bau Beach - Margine Rosso, Quartu Sant'Elena - Tiliguerta Dog Beach - Costa Rei, Muravera - Prumari Dog Beach - Villaputzu - Sa Canna Dog Beach - Teulada
You can get to Sardinia by ferry - these usually depart from the ferry ports of Genoa (ideal from Switzerland and south-west Germany) and Livorno, less frequently via Piombino or the Roman ferry port of Civitavecchia. Destinations are Olbia, Porto Torres and Golfo Aranci in the north of the island, Arbatax on the east coast of Sardinia and Cagliari in the south. There is also a busy ferry service between the islands of Sardinia and Corsica.
No matter which route you take - book your crossing well in advance, especially during the peak holiday season. It is worth comparing the ferry companies carefully, as they sometimes make big differences in the categorisation of camping vehicles. On some routes, you can also camp on board and use your caravan or motorhome as living space during the crossing instead of booking a cabin.
Tip: When travelling, remember the regulations for securing the caravan in the transit countries of Austria and Switzerland. A well-developed coastal road awaits you on Sardinia itself. It is a pleasant alternative to the sometimes narrow roads through towns.
Many campsites in Sardinia have their own restaurants that serve campers typical Sardinian dishes in addition to pizza and pasta. This starts with the wafer-thin shepherd's bread pane carasau, which is often served with sheep's cheese, such as the aromatic and very flavoursome pecorino romano, together with salsiccia sarda. If you love pasta, then it's best to choose malloreddus, also known as gnocchi sardi. Or you can opt for culurgiones, the Sardinian version of ravioli. Lamb and goat meat are often served as the secondo piatto in Sardinia, with fish and seafood being offered as alternatives.
You should definitely enjoy a glass of Sardinian wine with it: a dry white wine from the Vermentino grape, for example. Or would you prefer a red wine, such as the full-bodied Cannonau di Sardegna or the somewhat smoother Monica di Cagliari? Sebadas are recommended as a sweet finish to the menu when camping in Sardinia. These delicious pastries filled with cream cheese are served with miele amaro and are the best way to finish off your meal with a glass of mirto.
Throughout Sardinia, you will come across cantine sociali, where winegrowers have joined forces. There you can buy one of the Sardinian DOC or DOCG wines, or choose the cheap and good alternative of open country wine from the tap. You can also buy good olive oil, mainly from Bosa olives, directly from the producer in Alghero or Cuglieri, for example, and store it in your campervan.
Below we present 5 campsites in Sardinia that we particularly like. These campsites are characterised by a beautiful location, good service and excellent value for money.
One of the first campsites in Sardinia and run by the same family since 1965. Highlights include the pitches by the sea, the fantastic beach and the generally pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, both pitches and bungalows are always fully booked very quickly. Another (small) downside: Wi-Fi is subject to a charge and doesn't work everywhere.
Well-kept, quiet campsite on the Costa Rei with two swimming pools and private access to the extensive beach. An entertainment programme is organised during the high season, while the restaurant and supermarket on the site cater for guests' needs. Children can let off steam in the large playground, and there is also a wellness centre and a sports field.
This large campsite is located on a beautiful white sandy beach right by the sea and is particularly suitable for families. In addition to pitches for motorhomes, tents and caravans, there are also well-equipped mobile homes. A new water park with several pools and a wellness area was opened in 2018. In summer, it can be noisy until late in the evening. Dogs are not allowed on the beach.
Beautiful campsite in the middle of a pine forest in the centre of Cala Gonone near the sea. The pitches have electricity and water connections. WLAN is included in the price free of charge. In addition to the pitches, bungalows for up to 5 people can also be rented. The location is ideal, as both the town and the beaches are in the immediate vicinity.
Beautiful pitch on slightly undulating meadows in a pine forest. The sea can be reached via a short path through the dunes, but there is also a swimming pool on the site. The supermarket is well equipped and the sanitary facilities are also in good condition. There is an evening entertainment programme in the high season.

Sardinia is an extremely popular destination in the summer months from June to August, especially for a holiday by the sea. Temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius are not the exception but the rule here. In some cases, the thermometer can climb to over 40 degrees.
In the high season, many campsites are fully booked to the last pitch. It is therefore well worth travelling in the low season. From September to the beginning of October, it is still nice and warm at 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, but nowhere near as crowded as in high summer. In the evenings, however, it can get a little cooler - so you should bring long trousers and a jacket.
The campsites on the Costa Smeralda are real gems and are particularly favoured by water sports enthusiasts such as surfers and kiters. One of the most beautiful beaches for diving and snorkelling on the Costa Smeralda is Liscia Ruja.
Alghero is the former holiday resort of Italy's kings. The past of the former pirate base is characterised by Spanish-Catalan influences. The architecture behind the defiant walls is reminiscent of Barcelona's Barrio Gótico. In the neighbouring bay, the Grotta di Nettuno, located at the foot of a 110 m high cliff, is fascinating. When the sea is calm, you can visit the most beautiful cave in Sardinia here. If you are fit and have a head for heights, you can climb the Escala del Cabriol. A more comfortable option is to take the excursion boat from Alghero.
