We continue to fricamp in Sardinia

It is wonderful to fricamp in Sardinia! It's now five days since we filled and emptied the tanks in the car and charged electricity from a pole. The water in the tank is probably almost gone, the electricity in the car is ticking down and the car is full of things that need to be emptied: rubbish, waste water, toilet. Nevertheless, we decide to hitchhike one more night!

Alone on a beach in July

We are almost alone on this headland of Bruncu Teula, on a mile-wide sandy beach - in the middle of July. Who knows when we'll get the chance to sunbathe and swim naked again? And if there is a crisis, we have plenty of bottled water and we can charge electricity with our generator.

It's amazing to be alone on a beach like this on the Mediterranean in the middle of July. It is poorly cleaned along the beach - nobody picks up the rubbish that drifts in from the sea and the local visitors seem to be throwing stuff around - but anyway. The beach is long, the water is clear and the bottom is fine-grained soft sand.

We sunbathe and swim, and enjoy delicious dinners outside the motorhome. In addition we pick clams! In the shallow water on the inside of the headland there are lots of vongole mussels (or cockles maybe they are called) that you can easily pick with your hands. Tastes great with pasta, and is a good replenishment of food now that we do not have access to a shop!

By the way, we are not completely alone. Apart from the occasional mussel picker in the morning and a small group of kite surfers in the afternoon, we have the company of flamingos, cicadas, lizards, frogs, butterflies, wasps, brambles and mosquitoes ... (possibly a bit too much of the latter to be honest).

Free campsite in Bruncu Teula

After finding a tiny little road that we took a chance on, and after scratching the whole car for ten minutes, barely getting around the curves and not having a meeting, we were there. This was just too good and we were almost alone for ten days, in the middle of July in Sardinia. We had stocked up on food and water luckily but the rest was in the sea. What an unspoilt place we managed to find and what happiness!

What is involved in free camping in Sardinia?

Free camping is allowed on private land if the landowner has given permission. Camping on public land is generally not allowed, but we understand that you can stay overnight in a motorhome parked on a road, street or car park if necessary.

In sparsely populated areas where you don't disturb anyone, there is a good chance that free camping is possible in Sardinia. However, you should not camp if you see the sign 'Camping vietato is in tutto il territorio'.
