Camping with a difference - in Sardinia

Advertisement

After three days in 'internet shadow' on the wonderful island of La Maddalena off Sardinia (we blogged from the tourist office), we wanted a campsite with good WiFi. We drove to Centro Vacanze Isuledda in northern Sardinia, where we (so far) have an ACSI discount and pay 18 euros/day.

We were able to stay for two nights at a discounted rate - then it becomes high season and the discount ends. What does it cost then? Well, 48 euros/day! As you might imagine, it's only two nights here - but that's OK!

Fantastic location

The campsite is huge and has a fantastic location on several small and large beaches. But otherwise? Not our kind of camping! This is the total opposite of the relaxed campsites we like where you just park somewhere in nature, shake hands with the owner and maybe check in another day ...

Gym sessions and boat trips

This campsite is swarming with staff, all wearing white tennis shirts, driving around in golf carts, leading aquatic fitness classes, taking kids on boat trips with intense cheering, driving around the "train" or parking people's caravans and boats with a tractor. Check-in is with all passports + a lot of documents to be filled in and signed + ugly bracelets that you have to wear.

Noisy shows

We immediately received welcome brochures (in German) for the restaurants and the "beauty centre". We haven't even found the grocery store yet, but the sound of the big stage is inescapable - 24 hours a day of loud announcements, screaming "entertainment" and weird musical music (soooo tired of the Frankenstein horror show!).

Tomorrow we roll on! And soon the challenge begins: How do we survive the high season without having to take in these campsites (and pay astronomical sums)?
