95012, Castiglione di Sicilia
Been here?
A peaceful wild-camping stop in a private citrus grove, with valley views, starry skies, and direct contact with nature. It suits self-contained vans and motorhomes, with an outdoor shower and sink but no drinking water or toilet; the water has recently been unavailable at times. A bakery and petrol station with a bar are about 1200 meters away, and the Alcantara River can be reached on foot.

Fantastic place!! Peace, space, and right among the fruit trees. We thoroughly enjoyed this place and received a warm welcome. There is a wonderfully hot outdoor shower, and you can wash dishes in an outdoor sink. We were also able to do laundry and received valuable tips about the area. A river flows nearby, which you can walk to for a refreshing dip. We were here with a dog! 10/10Translating
What a wonderful night! Complete peace among the citrus trees, and the owner is super friendly and multilingual. A wholehearted recommendation from us!Translating
A special place of peace with far-reaching views in the middle of a citrus plantation. Beautiful. The site is like wild camping, so it is only for self-sufficient campers or motorhomes; there are no supply or disposal facilities, an outdoor shower if there is water, and no toilets. Warm-hearted hosts; we were even given lemons and mint. Thank you very much for the opportunity to stay here.Translating
We had a pleasant, peaceful time, with a lovely view among the orange trees, in a simple and charming area. A warm welcome, and we left with a bouquet of fresh mint.Translating
gorgeous spot - owner is so nice and responsive, and let us pick oranges from the trees. quiet and restful location.
The entrance is somewhat experimental (private and through traffic is not permitted), and you have to call first, but then it is absolutely beautiful. No luxury, but pure nature. Location, location, location—that is what matters. Since there was no water, we were given a large bag of oranges and mandarins. Regarding better signage, that probably depends on the “family,” who still like things this way.Translating
We spend 2 nights. Beatifully located between the citrus trees. Friendly owners who can tell you about the region. The water was't working on this day, but we where told before so no issues. (there is a water tap at the church in the village, easy parking) We had very peacuful nights and a day! Definitely would recommend Laundry was done for us at the mentioned price of 5eur.
We spent two nights at this wonderful place. Surrounded by blossoming orange trees, we were enveloped in a cloud of orange fragrance. The owners are very likeable, authentic, and extremely helpful. If you have a self-sufficient vehicle, this place is an absolute highlight. Many heartfelt thanks to Lenneke and her husband.Translating
Perfect spot! The ground is quite wet at the moment so be careful where you stand. We were okay with 2x4 and off-road tyres
Very kind and hospitable hosts. Not many facilities, but the view and peace are worth every penny! We spent four nights here and loved it. Lenneke and her husband offered us a shower at their home and even had a small gift for our daughter. Very warm people.Translating
What an oasis! Booking via VanSite and getting there was straightforward, welcome was warm & interaction very pleasant. Enjoyed beautiful view and peaceful atmosphere of & wonderfully idyllic spot among olive and citrus trees. Even though it's farmland, the place exudes a natural tranquillity. An absolutely recommendable place for self-sufficient campers looking for rural idyll and relaxation.

A wonderful little spot. We were given a very warm welcome by the hosts. If you are looking for peace and a great view, this is exactly the right place. We were given tips on how to get to the Alcantara Gorge and the murals in Graniti.Translating
Very pleasant place among the citrus trees. The owner speaks French, English, German, and Dutch very well. If you want peace and quiet, this is the ideal place. I recommend it, at €15 per night.Translating
If you love nature and peace, this is exactly the right place. A pitch among orange and lemon trees with an outdoor shower and an amazing view of the mountains and valley. We were warmly welcomed by the owners with freshly picked oranges and lemons. An absolute insider tip!Translating
A wonderful experience! We stayed completely alone among lemon and orange trees. Simply call the number provided upon arrival. The lady speaks perfect German and came by briefly. Very friendly contact. Great for visiting the Alcantara Gorge and simply switching off completely. Excellent, thank you very much!Translating
Beautiful place among the citrus trees. Vincenzo and Lenneke were very friendly and gave us some delicious oranges. The outdoor shower has a panoramic view among the trees. They also make very good handmade oil. We will definitely return!Translating
Wild camping in an orange orchard! We wanted to stay for two nights, but ended up staying five. Wonderful, peaceful place surrounded by greenery. Very friendly owner with lots of tips for nice trips in the area. Artisan bakery 10 minutes away on foot. Are you self-sufficient and do you love greenery, peace, and space? Then this motorhome stop is highly recommended!
Dreamy spot for taking a few days' break from traveling. My definition of pure relaxation in peace and solitude. We stood completely alone in the middle of a citrus plantation. Outdoor shower and washing-up facilities with a distant view. Of course, you should be as self-sufficient as possible. We had a motorcycle with us and took trips to the Alcantara Gorge and as far as Taormina. Very lovely host! Highly recommended!
Lovely and peaceful place. The owners are super friendly and helpful! We were alone at the site, among the citrus trees, with a beautiful view.
Unforgettable place immersed in nature. Hellen and Vincenzo are extremely kind and welcoming. They gave us lots of good advice on what to visit in the area and immediately made us feel at home.
