Mons Gibel Camping Park
Mons Gibel Camping Park is a small terraced campsite on the eastern flank of Mount Etna. The campsite sits at 500 metres above sea level, near Belpasso and Catania, and offers pitches with views of the volcano. Thanks to its peaceful setting and the warm hospitality of a Sicilian brother and sister who run the place, it immediately feels like home. This spot is a dream for nature lovers and active holidaymakers wanting to explore Sicily, but also for those seeking peace, sunshine, mountains and silence.
Pitches with a view
On the green and well-organised grounds, you’ll find about 30 pitches spread across terraces lined with olive trees and lava stone walls. The pitches range from 60 to 80 m² and are suitable for tents, motorhomes or caravans. The sanitary facilities are, by Italian standards, exceptionally nice. The swimming pool lies at the edge of the campsite, with comfortable sun loungers on a wooden terrace. There is also a playground for children and baby kits are available, including a cot and high chair.
Eating, swimming and enjoying outdoor life in Sicily
At Mons Gibel Camping Park, it’s all about enjoying life outdoors. You can barbecue on a traditional Sicilian stone grill with six separate cooking stations, or order pizza from a local pizzeria that delivers right to your tent. Fresh bread rolls are available at the reception every morning. The swimming pool provides refreshment on hot days, while the sun terrace invites you to relax under a parasol with a good book. Everything here breathes simplicity and tranquillity – without missing any comfort.
Mount Etna, beaches and cultural gems nearby
The campsite is located on the southern side of Mount Etna, with a shuttle service to Nicolosi – the main starting point for excursions to the active crater. Hiking, cycling or e-biking through lava fields and mountain villages is an experience in itself. For a cultural trip, visit Catania, Syracuse or the charming town of Taormina. Sicily offers a rich mix of nature, history and authentic island life – and Mons Gibel is the perfect base. Whether you come for the volcanic adventure or for a peaceful week in the sun, this is the place to be.
