Propriano in Corsica is a charming and pleasant little village on the coast. In Propiano there is a harbour with many small boats, and although the village only has just over 3000 inhabitants, there are plenty of cosy restaurants. In the evening we found a campsite just outside: Camping Tikiti.

An afternoon in Propriano
We have spent an afternoon in Propriano, just walking along the sea and the streets. We must say that this is a nice little town. The restaurants are packed with attractive outdoor seating and there are many boats to look at. While we strolled around, the motorhome was well down in the harbour.
Fishing village on the coast
Propriano is a cozy little town on the water, with a charming marina. Propriano is a fishing village of 3,000 inhabitants on the southwest coast of Corsica, with its fantastic location on the Gulf of Valinco.
Along the harbour promenade and marina, cafes line the beautiful beaches. Hotels and holiday apartments have become more popular with more tourists, who appreciate the sheltered bay from Porto Pollo to Campomoro.
Camping Tikiti
We have now reached the campsite Tikiti, which is a bit outside Propriano (not walking distance). Here we have found a corner among the trees where we stand really well. Some motorcyclists with tents are camping next to us. There seems to be both pool and close to the beach, but it started to rain in the evening, so we have mostly hung out in the motorhome and had a good time.
Campsites in Corsica
What I like about Campsites in Corsica is that they're so wild. They are kind of beautiful in an uncontrolled way. It's hilly, green, flowery ... as nature happens to be. Often there are no specific "places" with numbers, you just have to stand somewhere you feel comfortable, and if there happens to be a power pole nearby, you can run your cable there.
The campsite is crazy big and only small roads and nature. You do not notice others who have come here because you feel like in a jungle. Corsica has everything!
More to see and do in the neighbourhood
Of course, there is more to see and do near Propriano. Here are our top tips:
- Filitosa – prehistoric remains
- Calache di Piana – dramatic road
- Bonifacio – the dramatic city on the cliff

It's nice to have a more relaxed camping culture for a change.
Here we have 24° today and the pool season is underway.

These are my favourite types of campsites. Unorganised is great! 🙂

We prefer above all a campsite built on a terrace, preferably slightly hilly and not just flat land, but well maintained. Have a good time

Matts, terraces can be nice. I like it to be a bit disorganised, but it has to be disorganised in the right way! 🙂 That is, it should be clean and tidy and the staff should be available and friendly. But I think it is a bit charming with nature areas where you can stand where you want and where the staff trusts you.

It will be a completely different feeling here than with the large campsites that are sometimes far from the sea and feel impersonal. Understand that you enjoy it!
