Camping Cala Gonone: In the Old Pine Forest

Set in the middle of an ancient pine forest, slightly elevated above the coast of the Golfo di Orosei – this site is a starting point for some of the island's most spectacular coves.

Location & grounds

The spacious, sandy grounds lie between old pines and dunes, with access to the beaches Sa Curcurica and Sa Mattanosa. The shade from the pines keeps the site pleasant even in high summer.

A base for boat trips

Most excursion boats to Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, and Cala Goloritzé depart from Cala Gonone – camping here saves long drives for these trips.

Practical tip: in peak season it's worth booking boat tours from Cala Gonone a day in advance – the most popular routes sell out quickly.
If you want to see the coves of the Golfo di Orosei, you don't need a long drive when you camp right in Cala Gonone.

Who it suits

Ideal for anyone wanting to visit several coves of the Golfo di Orosei without traveling from further away each day.
