Natural overnight spot, rough access
57037, Portoferraio
Been here?
4x4 access only
Getting here needs an off-road vehicle. Check your ground clearance before setting off.
A spacious natural overnight spot with room for multiple vehicles, quiet surroundings and a mostly flat area. The access road is very rough and may require 4x4, especially after heavy rain, although experienced drivers have reached it with 2WD. Walkers and dogs may pass along the nearby path, and mosquitoes appear in the evening. Firewood and a fireplace are available, but the view is partly obscured by vegetation.

Very beautiful place in nature and silence, on a walking route, so someone may pass by, but everyone is very friendly! A few mosquitoes in the evening; otherwise highly recommended. In my opinion, with some experience it is also reachable with 2WD.
Accessible only by 4x4 after the heavy rains of September 8. About 15 minutes by 4x4 to get there. Beautiful, level place with a fairly unobstructed view.
There is room for 4 vehicles. The road to get there is quite rough; a raised vehicle or 4x4 is recommended. We stayed one night without problems; it was quiet and free of noise. In the morning a few people walked by with their dogs. Functional place, but not the most scenic.
The place is very beautiful and quiet, but the road is extremely rough. A low vehicle will definitely scrape, and without 4x4 it is definitely risky. Coming from the paved road, keep left as soon as you take the turn. The GPS tends to mislead you by directing you onto the road farther right, which is a dead end.
Very rough road; it is not worth it.
At the second junction the vegetation looks fairly overgrown, but it improves afterward. Better with 4Motion.
Worked well, quiet. Made it with a 4x4 Marco Polo, wouldn’t recommend without 4x4.
Excellent place to sleep, but the access road is very rough. We arrived with a Ford Nugget van and another van joined us. A low vehicle will scrape underneath. A little farther uphill there are also trailheads for hikes.
Beautiful but not like in the photos! You cannot see the sunset from there—too much vegetation.
Beautiful spot. Firewood. Fireplace. Space. Solitude. T5 2WD.
The steep climb can be managed without problems with a T5 without all-wheel drive. It is not really worth it. No view and only one space on a hiking trail.
There is no safe passage for any camper. You should only go up with an off-road-capable vehicle. What a shame.
Magnificent, but despite the difficulty getting up there, there are feces and toilet paper everywhere. Make an effort.
Very rocky road, but it was absolutely worth it. Not suitable for normal campers. We stayed here for two nights and were alone, so there was absolute peace. In the morning only a few hikers or cyclists came by, which did not bother us at all.
Rocky dirt road away from the main road, very quiet. Beware of falling branches and wild boars :) They are not dangerous, but remember that you are in their home. Do not leave your rubbish on the ground. I recommend this spot for 4x4s or motorhomes with good ground clearance and good tires.
