Camping San Damiano ****

General information
7.8
from 8 reviews Write review

On the North-East coast of Corsica, situated directly at the seaside, lies the well-tended camping San Damiano on a small promontory south of Bastia. The pitches are located in the pine forest, are spacious, quite shady and are separated by hedges. The pitches near the beach are less spacious and have no electricity. The dozens of rental accommodations are separate from the camping pitches.

Swimming in the sea or swimming pool

Families with young children from all over Europe are often drawn to camping in the vicinity of the Lido de Marana sandy beach. The average temperature of the seawater in summer is 25 degrees. The beach slopes gently into the sea so that children can play safely in the water.

On the campsite itself, there is a large swimming pool and a toddler pool. Activities are organised in the swimming pool, such as water aerobics and swimming in the dark. Children can amuse themselves to their heart's content in the swimming pool with slides, on the generously-sized swings and the large trampoline. In high season, an entertainment programme is offered in French and there are disco evenings.

Sporting events on the campsite

You can play table tennis, beach volleyball and jeu de boules. There are competitions on a regular basis. You can also take part in water aerobics, step sports, Zumba fitness and yoga lessons. Near the campsite, you will find moderately heavy cycling routes and a fishing spot.

8 am to 8 pm supermarket

At the entrance, there is a supermarket, well-stocked for a camping shop and with fresh bread. The restaurant offers a wide choice of regional products and pizzas. In the evenings you can dance in the Cocoon, watch a performance or join in the karaoke or a quiz. Important sporting events are shown here on a large screen.

Emanuel Manea, on this campsite in August 2022

5.9

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

The tent pitches are generous many of which have some amount of shade, very few are in total sunlight.
Although, choosing a pitch of your liking is impossible as it is handled automatically by the electronic check-in system at the reception.

Beach is neat with fine sand and you can spot small fish at the shore, water is mostly clear.

There is a restaurant on the campgrounds with decent pizza, haven\'t tried other dishes as the prices seemed too high.

The toilets are mainly clean in the morning after cleaning, the same 1-day tourers are wreaking a havoc there too IMHO, the kids have their own miniature toilets which is a neat thought.

The campsite has good proximity to the Bastia harbour and I think this might bring a lot of it\'s downfalls.
Because of the proximity many will choose it for a short stay, and will not threat the place as their home, going too fast with the vehicles and raise a incredible amount of dust.
On top of the dust issue, our daughter has a breathing problem(asthma) and we asked for an earlier checkout because of it(checking out after 11 days instead of 19 paid) and we were told that we can checkout but that there will be no refund...?!?
The personnel seemed to be fine with the idea of taking money for services not rendered, asking about a penalty but not the full amount was met with the same response as above, no reimbursement...

All in all we\'ll choose SanDamiano as a transition camping in future but not for a long stay.
