A campsite for sale in Corsica opens the door to an outdoor hospitality market fed every summer by hikers, sailors and families who want sea and mountains within a short drive, among the maquis, sandy beaches and hill villages. From the Gulf of Porto to the Bavella needles, from Cap Corse to Bonifacio, camping remains a very common way to discover the island, especially for travellers who arrive by ferry with their own vehicle.
Properties on ma-propriete.fr range from classified campsites sold with their fonds de commerce (the trading business) to large inland estates, around Corte for instance, whose buildings and land suit an outdoor accommodation project. This page is for buyers taking over an island campsite, for people who want to invest in land to develop, and for owners preparing a sale. To follow new properties, set up an email alert (in French).

On the island, an asking price should be read against actual trading. A campsite business is valued first on its EBITDA (EBE in French accounts) over several seasons, plus the land value when the property is included. The Corsican season is busy but short, so opening period, the mix of bare pitches and rentals, the star rating and beach access all weigh heavily. Island logistics also raise some costs, such as shipping mobile homes or building materials. Land without consent is valued only on its development potential, which depends on the local plan and coastal restrictions.
Demand is concentrated on the coast. In the south, Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, the Gulf of Valinco and the Sartène area have a loyal beach clientele. In the west, the Gulf of Ajaccio, Sagone and the Gulf of Porto, with the Calanche de Piana and the Scandola reserve, attract divers and landscape lovers. In the north, the Balagne between Calvi and L'Île-Rousse, the Agriates and Cap Corse feel quieter and wilder. The east coast, from the Aléria plain to the Costa Verde, offers flat land and long sandy beaches.
Inland, Corte and the Restonica and Tavignano valleys, the Alta Rocca, the Niolu and the Castagniccia welcome GR20 hikers, anglers and river swimmers, within the Corsica regional nature park. Entry prices are often lower, but the season is shorter. Access is through the ports of Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, L'Île-Rousse, Propriano and Porto-Vecchio, linked to mainland France and Italy, and the airports of Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi and Figari.
The loi Littoral (coastal planning law) applies to every coastal commune and strictly limits building near the shore, while the loi Montagne governs mountain areas; Corsica's own regional planning framework, the PADDUC, adds further rules. Creating or significantly extending a site for more than 20 people or 6 units requires a permis d'aménager (development permit), as does a PRL (parc résidentiel de loisirs), a holiday park for chalets and mobile homes whose plots are rented or sold outright.
Wildfire risk is ever-present in the maquis: exposed campsites are subject to information, warning and evacuation requirements set by the authorities, and brush clearing is a recurring cost. Also check summer water supply, the septic system inspected by the SPANC (the local sanitation service), the star rating, valid for 5 years, and the condition of stone buildings. Our white paper on creating a rural campsite (in French) and our guide from compliance to marketing (in French) cover these steps.
Yes, but it needs a thorough review. A site closed for years may have lost its star rating, and its planning consents should be checked with the mairie (town hall), especially on the coast. Get quotes for bringing utilities, washrooms and fire safety up to standard, then test that budget with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
The amount depends on EBITDA, the split between property and business, the number of pitches and the rental fleet. Lenders look at several seasons of accounts and at your own contribution. Our financing plan calculator (in French) helps you prepare a first outline for your accountant.
Listings here are entire businesses; a holiday park appears only if it is sold as a whole. For one chalet or pitch, contact the park manager, request the park rules and annual charges, and ask a notaire (the public officer who handles property sales) to review the deed.
An aire naturelle, limited to 30 pitches, open six months a year at most and without mobile homes or chalets, suits a low-key farm-stay project. Read our first steps to creating a campsite (in French) to compare options.
