We are looking to travel down through Corsica and Sardinia to Sicily. We know Sicily well but would welcome any tips for Corsica & Sardinia - places to stay/avoid and wild camping. We don’t search out the bright lights & prefer to look for the real side of places & enjoy bird watching.

I've only ever been to Corsica many moons ago and not in a camper. Fabulous island.

Think there were members on here who have visited both islands in mohos/campers? 🤔

If they're still here, hopefully you'll get a response soon (y)
 
When are you going?
I am going to sicily at the end of February but I am flying/train. Any reccomendations?? Must see places.
 
Thoroughly enjoyed both islands. No where stands out as somewhere to avoid. As you can imagine the coast areas are pretty busy, the interiors pretty empty, especially Sardinia, so most towns there are pretty "real".
In Sardinia worth looking out for a agroturismo, went to one in a touristy area which we thought was pretty good, but then went for another out in the sticks and was in a completely different class.
 
Had a fantastic trip to both islands in late Sept.- October 2019. The afternoon ferry from Nice to Bastia was like a mini cruise with a beach type bar on deck with deckchairs, a small beach,(pile of sand), and a DJ dropping Balearic beats. A lovely few hours spent. Both islands are stunning but Corsica is more mountainous.Wildcamping is frowned on a bit in Corsica in places but I had no bother using the usual park up apps., but did use campsites a bit to be where I wanted to be. The short crossing from Bonifacio on the southern tip of Corsica to Santa Teresa in the north of Sardinia is a beautiful crossing, looking back at the high weather sculpted chalk cliffs of the south coast. I would like to return, as was waiting for a hip op and couldn't do any serious walking.The hiking is fabulous.
 
We went October 2018.
Overnight ferry from Toulon to Corsica.
Short crossing between the 2 Islands
Overnight ferry from Sardinia to Genoa.
We used Moby ferries.

In Corsica we wild camped.Water was easily available from mountain drinking fountains.

In Sardinia we used aires ,including Narcao,Sini and Semstene.

Not a lot of motorhomes, nice weather. The roads in Sardinia were easier driving than Corsica.
 
Yes, clutch went. So spent a lot of time on Corsica in chalets on campsites with a hire car.

Corsica did not allow wild camping. And I believe fines high. Corsica v busy with car and motorbike groups doing a circuit around the coast. Restaurants had the same tourist menus, everywhere. But the scenery is very pretty. Not like France.

Sardinia is super chilled by comparison. Wild camping allowed. Food excellent. Cheaper. But not as pretty.

Have fun.

You are both a lot older than I thought Touring in the 12th century. I’m impressed 😉

P'raps that's the real reason for the time spent in Corsica; the postcards had to be painted first, and then left to dry before ye olde postillion could take on the delivery ... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
