Bonus: Plage de Cupabia in Corsica, France

Last but not least in this post, we at FREEDOMtravel would like to name our most romantic camping spot. Plage de Cupabia is located on the south-west coast of Corsica and offers crystal clear water and beautiful sandy beaches where you can easily find small places where you can be completely alone. There is also a romantic and simple little campsite just a few metres from the beach.

Have you been to any of these places? What is your top tip for romantic camping?
