Camper vacation in Sardinia - Facts & Tips

Sardinia is our personal paradise when we are on the road with VanEssa. Breathtaking coastal roads and secluded bays are just two examples.

If you are traveling on Sardinia's roads, you should allow plenty of time. There are many winding roads - so progress is often rather slow. There are many panoramic points and great views along the way. The climate is essentially Mediterranean, with warm spring and fall, hot summer and mild winter.

If you have a bicycle carrier on the tailgate, a warning sign must be attached in Italy.

Ferry

Always book tickets and special offers in advance! Otherwise you risk high prices and long queues at the port. Cabin seats are recommended for night crossings. When booking, please pay attention to the choice of vehicle! Although a VW or Mercedes bus is considered a vehicle in terms of its dimensions, it is usually classified as a special vehicle by the ferry companies and must therefore be booked as a minibus, camper or van.

Overnight stay

Overnight stays in public parking lots are prohibited and are only tolerated out of season.
In the high season, we recommend that you book campsites in advance. Camping on public sites is prohibited and will be penalized, especially in the high season.

We know the following campsites from personal experience and are therefore happy to recommend them:

Camping LÚltima Spiaggia, Bari Sardo (OG)
Centro Vacance Isuledda, Cannigione di Arzachena
For windsurfers (showers are a bit outdated): Isola Die Gabbiani, Porto Pollo
For climbing enthusiasts: Camping Cala Gonone (east coast)

And for basic Tips & Tricks for all things camping, take a look at our blogs. We have put together some interesting topics for you here.

Which camper are you?

What type of camper are you? Heavy-duty pull-out with kitchen, interior or rear kitchen?

Which camper are you? Sven Herzog from German Television makes the comparison.

What are the advantages of a VanEssa mobilcamping conversion? The first thoughts about a DIY conversion of your van are certainly positive at first: the feeling of creating something yourself, implementing your own idea and, apparently, it should also be much cheaper than a purchased camping system. In our experience, these arguments are completely justified, but they do conceal a few pitfalls.

Cool box: compressor, thermoelectric or absorber? If you really want to camp properly, you will of course need a cool box to keep your food and drinks cool. Here too, there are different types of appliances, all with certain advantages and disadvantages, although only a compressor cooler really delivers the best results. The advantages of a compressor cooler: On the one hand, it is very energy-efficient, which is particularly important for

Camping and everything has to go? Even long bulky items such as a surfboard, bike etc.? Then we are pleased to present you with another innovation this year 🙂 We have put our rear kitchen on a heavy-duty pull-out for our surfers and those who need a through-loading area. The kitchen therefore only occupies one half of the trunk, leaving the other side free.

Power supply in the van - what to look out for?

What do you need to look out for in the power supply to ensure that the car always remains roadworthy? A vehicle that has to supply several „power guzzlers“ (lights, heating, air conditioning, on-board computer, radio, etc.) will sooner or later need a way to recharge its battery(ies). We therefore recommend a charger for the battery(ies). Here you will find special information on various power options suitable for your VW. If you are at
