The natural reserve of Cavagrande del Cassibile is another excellent park. Canyons, ravine walks, swimming, and amazing views are just a few of the attractions that keep visitors coming back.

Hikes, incredible views, and guided tours are just a taste of what's available at this remarkable place that is easily reached in a campervan or RV rental.

Some of the best coastal attractions are Vendicari and Lo Zingaro nature reserves. They're full of exciting plants and animals and make great options for campervan day trips.

The Reserve of the lakes of Marinello is unmissable. The white sands of the natural lagoon are breathtaking, and it's a terrific option for anyone looking for peace and tranquility.

The river Dirillo is not only a river but also a  lake. It's an esteemed fishing spot due to a large concentration of trout, pike, and perch. A full-day excursion on the waterway can give you a taste of what Sicily offers. You can take in the majesty of the Hyblaean mountains. For anyone interested in prehistory and archeology, Mount Casasia and the municipality of Licodia Eubea are unbelievable places to visit.

Campgrounds in Sicily

Reading camping tips is a great way to get the most from your RV or campervan rental. If we had to give travelers just one piece of advice, it would be to book campgrounds ahead of time. Many of these sites get busy, and you want to be satisfied with somewhere to park your campervan or RV at night safely.

Sicily has lots of great campgrounds. If you plan on seeing Mount Etna — and why wouldn't you — Mons Gibel Camping Ground is a great option. Excellent facilities, friendly operators, and a great location are just some attractions.
