Great stopover. I was a bit concerned by some of the negative reviews but we were very happy with this site. The two young women in reception were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The site was quiet so we had lots of choice and chose a space under the trees opposite reception. I have read a comment that grey waste disposal was difficult. This is patently not true and it is as easy as anywhere else. Haven\'t used the chemical waste disposal but it does look slightly odd as it is a tube.
There are a lot of cats around but they didn\'t cause us any problems. Would definitely stop here again

Great site on a lava outcrop by the sea. Pitches are level and water is close by. Electric is only 3 amp so bring a gas kettle. Toilets and showers are very clean, sanitary blocks are old and tired but functional. Easy access to motorhome services. Approach to campsite could be difficult if you follow gps as you end up in narrow lane. The campsite signs take you to a wide access point. The chemical toilet point is badly designed and it is impossible to completely empty the toilet cassette.
Good for Catania, Etna etc.

Wonderful. Perched a few feet above the sea. Brilliant sea swimming. Very helpful, multilingual, staff. Large supermarket 200m away. Frequent buses into town. Just wondering if we can manage to get back there for a couple of days before leaving Sicily.

As a city site pitch size was good. Toilet facilities require an update, they were clean but are old. Very good information and help from staff for surrounding attractions, where to get buses etc. Access could be hard at times of school pick-up in afternoon as parents park everywhere and block access road and gateway. We had to wait 25 minutes for a car to be moved! Very good for visits to Taormina, Etna train and Syracuse.

Reception was very welcoming and gave us lots of information on the surrounding areas to visit. We had a shady pitch under some trees near the restaurant which was fine as our days were mostly out and about sightseeing. You can access the sea over some rocks and down ladders which was wonderful at the end of a hot day touring, but would not be accessible for anybody with mobility issues. The sanitary facilities were poor, the showers were turned on by pulling a piece of flex wire! The toilets were clean. A restaurant was on site which was busy of an evening, we didn't try it out. Easy access to Catania, Etna and surrounding touristy spots.

Convenient for visiting Etna and Taormina and well signposted which is just as well as driving in Catania is a challenge! We were expecting more up to date facilities - these need replacing as although clean they are far from modern. We were in the shaded section which suited us rather than the gravel section nearer the sea. Good recycling. Very poor motorhome facilities - so difficult to access and on a slope, that we gave up. In order to get to the motorway we found it easier to turn in the nearby supermarket, otherwise you ended up miles up the road in busy villages. Very handy having the entrance and exit straight across the road, rather than having to negotiate difficult turns with cars parked.
