    The landscape is stunning, but we had a very unpleasant experience with the restaurant. We were served food half burned and half frozen. When we sent the food back, the chef threatened us.

    Went for a week with my university climbing club. Absolutely insane location right on the sea and the crags. They light up some of the walls so you can climb literally 24/7 it's quite insane. Bring a head torch anyway though! Great climbing on some nice sharp rock all the routes are pretty fun. Make sure you check the anchors though as specifically around the bunker area some of the bolts are missing and/or have been replaced with slings. Would fully recommend to anyone the campsite is lovely and cute and the mobile homes are definitely adequate. Bonus: there are many many cats around and they're adorable!

    Where it is located for a climbing trip I would give 5 stars. Only a few steps to the crags and to the sea as well. Perfect for a late summer/ autumn trip. The campsite is nicely done, better say it was nicely done but it feels like to keep it like this there is not a big will. We stayed in a Mobil home, the price is fine for what you get: Toilets with no toilet seats, 4 flame gas stove where only 2 function, doors which not close and around the Mobil if you look closely you find quite a bit of trash. The restaurant stuff gives you a feeling you should say sorry because you interrupt them in doing nothing because you want to order something. About the food I can’t say anything because we decided to spend our money somewhere else. But the pizzeria is very good. Don’t use the washing machine, looks like it wasn’t cleaned once. Our cloths where full of fuzz. It’s a shame, it’s such a nice place which would need a bit more motivation to keep it nice.

    I absolutely love and recommend this place to everyone. It was my first time there and I hope not the last one. First thing, location! It is located just beneath the rocks so to go climbing it takes about 3 minutes from your accommodation. The camp is based between rocks and the sea so it's perfect combination. Staff is excellent,professional,helpful and kind! Another thing is accommodation itself. We stayed in El Bahira for a week with group of 13 people. I was lucky enough to be accommodated in Viletta which is the bigger house in the camp. It was perfect. It is a bit cold inside so make sure to take the sleeping bag with you! Perfect climbing base! Walking distance from Fakirella Beach and Cala Mancina,so many routes on all levels. Love it love it love it! 5 minutes by car from the camp you can get to the market and the city - San Vito Lo Capo. For me it was perfect :) a lot of friendly cats stopping by and of course Brunella!

    A large site with good and clean facilities. Excellent location if you are Rock Climbing. The deduction of a stars is because it was very noisy, they have a ‘quiet time’, yet people play loud music, sing loudly one night this went on until 1:30am. Secondly, there are lots of permanent pitches, those visitors come and go but leave a lot of litter which is a real shame.

    The camp managers sat and watched as the fires got closer and acted as if there was no danger. We later learned, from a couple other campers, that the fires got even close and almost inside the camp before they were letting anyone else get out. They refuse to consider others lives. Will not go again.

    Loved this place, perfect for a climbing holiday, crag out back, even has floodlights on the section directly at the back of the site. Nice pizza on site, only in a fri, sat and Sunday though. Shop on site selling essentials, resonably priced. Nice ice cream served from the bar. Swimming pool, although it is closed during siesta, from 1330-1600. Went in May and it was lovely and peaceful.

    Summary: Great location for climbing at the cliffs of San Vito Lo Capo - neglecting some basic stuff though. If you are a climber, this is a great starting point for your climbing adventures. You can reach the first climbing routes in 2-3 minutes (by foot!) from the pitches depending on where you park. This is obviously very convenient. Of course you can't expect to reach every single crag that fast but still also a lot of other crags are conveniently located. The campground features all the basic amenities but also has a restaurant, a super market and a pool. All of this could not be used in off-season though - which is totally fine. In contrast to most other campgrounds you need to pay extra for taking a shower. It was 75 Cent when we were there mid of December 2022. As the base price is cheap that was not a problem for me. You can buy "shower coins" in the reception. I did not take the time to see how long the shower goes but it was sufficient for me. What I did not like about the shower is that the shower cabin did not have a proper roof above it. There is some kind of cover over the area in which you dry off but if it is raining you still get wet. Furthermore, if it is a bit colder/windy, the showering experience is not super nice like that. One other aspect I did not like is that in the sink area you did not get warm water and furthermore it was often a bit "dirty" from the pine needles that were falling from the trees close to the sink area. As this area is not properly covered similar to the shower area, some pipe needles often made it into the sinks. Thus, before you do the dishes you might need to clean the sink yourself. In case of rain you might also get wet while doing the dishes. I liked that they had different spots for emptying the garbage and that they distinguished between plastic, organic, glass, carton etc. In the course of our two week stay they reduced the number of garbage boxes though and I had the feeling they did not really empty the boxes regularly. In general my feeling was that they did not pay attention to the state of the campground during off-season that much (e.g. not cleaning the sinks regularly, garbage cans were overturned and stayed like that for a few days etc). Communication at the reception was smooth and they were helpful and friendly. Communicating in English was generally also not a problem - which is not a given in Italy. One small thing to take into account is that there are some cats on the campground. It was not as annoying as e.g. in Alcaniz in Spain but still we did not want to leave the doors open for too long as the cats regularly came to the car and at least one tried to jump into the car. After a few days the situation relaxed but still wanted to mention it. To sum up: If you are a climber, this is still a great campground because of the convenient location. I can imagine that during main season when it is more busy they take more care of the small things but during our stay they neglected these things a bit. I was unsure between 3 and 4 stars but as I went it as a base camp for climbing I still went for 4 stars because of the proximity to the crags.

    Very nice place for chilly rest after/ between climbing. Big good swimming pool with the sea water. Delicious food in local restaurant. Nice views on sunset.

    El Bahira is the perfect place for family. It feels safe and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Plenty of good food & wine too.

    Perfect campsite for climbers and nature/calm lovers. We stayed for allot longer than originally planned as we loved it so much. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Good clean facilities, and an amazing sunset each night. Perfect!

    Nice clean and tidy place. WiFi only at the bar area. We pitched 1 tent, 2 adults and 2 motorcycles for 21€ and for that money you still have to pay 70 cents per hot shower! If it wasn't for that it would have got 5 stars. One bonus is it seems to be open all year round.

    It's a nice fully equipped camping. But prices, even off-season are to be considered. Nearly 50 euros per night for a family of five in October ...

    Great place to stay at during off-season. Rock climbing on an up to 40 m high limestone cliff (french grades 5 - 8) just behind the campsite. Only thing is that the showers, laundry- and dish- sinks do not have a roof.

    We stayed over the winter for months, due to the lockdown. Staff was really nice and helpful. As we’re climbers it’s the place to be in a lockdown. In the winter they even opened a hot indoor shower! Thanks for a pleasant stay!

    Great location and nature. Very nice swimming pool. Facilities pretty old and broken as for a 4 Star camping.

  • 5/5 Piotr M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great option for bigger groups of climbers: can rent houses close to each other and after the climb relax on common areas.

  • 5/5 Miriam L. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic option for climbers. A very relaxed place, great for children, clean, next to the sea.
