With its 70 pitches, this human-scale seaside campsite charms with its friendly atmosphere, its preserved natural setting and its privileged location in the heart of Southern Corsica. Ideal for a family, couple or friends’ getaway, it offers a rare balance between tranquility, simplicity and proximity to the region’s treasures.
From the moment you arrive, the setting is enchanting. The golden light of the Mediterranean, the scent of the Corsican maquis, the intense blue of the sea visible just a few steps away… everything immediately invites you to unwind. The campsite team, available and warm, speaks French, English, Corsican and Italian, making it a particularly welcoming place for visitors of all origins. Pets are also welcome, a detail that often makes all the difference for families traveling with their faithful companions.
Easily accessible without a car, the campsite benefits from a bus stop just 150 meters away (line 5 Muvistrada, Barbicaja stop), allowing you to reach downtown Ajaccio in just a few minutes without hassle. A real asset for exploring the city freely while enjoying the calm and nature upon your return.

70 well-equipped pitches for a comfortable stay
Camping Barbicaja offers 70 pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, all connected to water and electricity, with wastewater disposal. The motorhome pitches are specially designed to welcome travelling visitors in the best conditions. The entire site is carefully maintained to guarantee every holidaymaker comfort and tranquillity throughout their stay.
In terms of services, the campsite has thought of everything to make daily life pleasant. Wi-Fi access is available on site, as well as an internet area for those who wish to stay connected. A laundry with washing machines makes long stays easier, and an ice depot keeps provisions fresh even in high heat. Payment methods are varied: credit card, cheques, cash and ANCV holiday vouchers are all accepted, which simplifies organisation for all budgets.
One of the real highlights of the campsite is the presence of a bar and pizzeria on site. After a day at the beach or an excursion in the surroundings, it feels good to sit down and enjoy a fresh pizza or sip a drink while watching the sun set over the Gulf of Ajaccio. A snack restaurant completes this dining offer, ideal for quick lunches between activities. An equipped children’s play area completes the picture, so the little ones can have fun in complete safety while parents relax.
Sea, heritage and adventure: Southern Corsica within easy reach

Ajaccio, just a few minutes away by bus, deserves thorough exploration. Birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, it combines history, culture and art de vivre with elegance. The Fesch Museum, the Bonaparte house, the cathedral and the lively markets brimming with local products, Corsican charcuterie, cheeses, wines, homemade jams are well worth the detour. The port of Ajaccio is the ideal starting point for sea excursions to the secret coves of the gulf or to the Scandola Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
