The Truth About Camping in Punta Trettu

We want to be completely clear with our visitors: there are no campsites or official camper areas in Punta Trettu, and free camping is forbidden throughout the entire area. Sardinian coastal protection laws do not allow the construction or operation of official camping facilities along this stretch of coast — and they never have.

For years we stated this publicly and openly. At times we were even called liars for telling this simple truth. But the truth has always been on our side. As is now publicly known, an investigation is reportedly underway involving operators in the area who, for years, provided camper and camping services without the necessary authorizations. Today, even those operators no longer offer such services.s

Dear Camper-Van Traveler in Punts Trettu,
as explained on this page, our school is not a campsite: we only provide a few essential services for those traveling by camperor can, such as parking, showers, and toilets.

In recent months, the local authorities have intensified checks in the area, and several campers parked in the area of Punta Trettu have been fined. To protect both you and us, and to ensure a safe and stress-free experience, we have decided to make our facilities available exclusively to guests who attend a kitesurfing course with our kite school.

👉 Please note: we will no longer accept campers from people who are not taking our courses.

Thank you very much for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you both on the water and on land!

In the past, we tried to support kitesurfers travelling by camper van by offering a few basic, legally-compliant facilities — hot outdoor showers, two toilets (one for women, one for men), and a parking area near the kite spot. We never ran a campsite. We simply provided minimum logistical support to travellers who came to kitesurf at Punta Trettu.

We have decided to stop offering all camper- and van-related services. The reasons are straightforward:

• Bureaucracy and regulatory pressure. Operating even minimum services in this protected coastal area has become unsustainable.
• Lack of respect for our work. Too many people expected free or near-free services, without recognising the cost, effort and responsibility behind them.
• Constant complaints. With only two toilets and four showers — the maximum we were allowed to provide under the law — we faced continuous complaints from people who refused to accept the legal and physical limits of what we could legitimately offer.

After years of trying to do our best within an extremely restrictive framework, we have stopped. It is no longer worth the effort.

The structure has been converted into a private villa, available exclusively to guests who rent the entire property. We no longer accept campers, vans, day visits, or any kind of shared use of the facilities.

If you are travelling by camper or van and were planning to stop in Punta Trettu, please respect local laws: free camping is not allowed, and parking overnight in the area can result in fines from local authorities. We recommend choosing authorised campsites outside the protected coastal zone and visiting Punta Trettu only for the kitesurfing.

We thank everyone who, over the years, has respected our work, our honesty, and our limits.
