Why choose Bastia for your road trip
Bastia — a city worth exploring
Bastia's Place Saint-Nicolas stretches nearly 300 metres along the seafront, making it one of the largest squares in France. This port city on Corsica's northeastern tip blends Italian-influenced architecture with a distinctly French island character. The old harbour, known as the Vieux Port, is lined with colourful buildings and traditional restaurants, while the Citadelle above houses the Musée de Bastia, tracing the city's history from Genoese rule to the present day. The twin-towered Église Saint-Jean-Baptiste dominates the harbour skyline and is the largest church in Corsica. Inland, the hilltop village of Cardo offers panoramic views across the Tyrrhenian Sea. Bastia also serves as a gateway to Cap Corse, the narrow peninsula stretching 40 km to the north, and to the Désert des Agriates, roughly 60 km to the west. The surrounding roads wind through maquis-covered hills and along dramatic coastal stretches, so a campervan gives you the flexibility to stop wherever the scenery calls. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners in and around Bastia, which means you can collect your motorhome close to the ferry terminal and set off without delay. A campervan from a fellow traveller often comes with insider tips on the best routes and overnight spots across northern Corsica.
Best time to visit
Bastia welcomes visitors from April through to October, with each month offering something different. In June, the city hosts Les Musicales de Bastia, a festival celebrating classical and world music across historic venues. September brings the Festiventu, a wind and adventure festival in nearby Calvi, easily reached by a coastal drive. Hiring a campervan through Yescapa during spring or early autumn means quieter roads around Cap Corse and more availability at campsites. Summer is the most popular season, so booking your motorhome early is a smart move. Bastia's mild autumn weather keeps conditions comfortable for driving well into November.
Top getaways from Bastia
Bastia is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Bastia to Cap Corse
80km north 2–4 days
Head 80 km north from Bastia around the wild Cap Corse peninsula. Allow 2 to 4 days to explore the Genoese watchtowers at Nonza and the harbour village of Centuri. Roads are narrow and winding, so a compact campervan is ideal. Stop at Macinaggio for seaside parking and fresh seafood.
Bastia to Castagniccia
55km south 1–3 days
Drive 55 km south from Bastia into the chestnut forests of Castagniccia over 1 to 3 days. Visit the Baroque church of La Porta and the village of Piedicroce. The mountain roads suit a smaller campervan, and you will find quiet pull-offs for overnight stays among the valleys.

Bastia to Ajaccio via the west coast
230km southwest 5–8 days
Take the scenic 230 km west-coast route from Bastia to Ajaccio over 5 to 8 days. Pass through Calvi's Citadelle, the red cliffs of Scandola Nature Reserve, and the gulf of Sagone. Campsites with full hook-ups dot the coastline, so you can recharge between stretches of mountain driving.

Where to park your motorhome
Bastia has several car parks near the centre that can accommodate larger vehicles, though spaces for motorhomes are limited in the old town's narrow streets. Overnight parking in public areas is generally tolerated outside peak summer months, but always check local signage. For longer stays, consider a dedicated aire or campsite just outside the city. Arriving via the ferry terminal puts you within easy reach of the main parking areas.
- Parking du Vieux Port, Adjacent to the city — Located beside the old harbour, this car park offers convenient access to restaurants and the Citadelle. Spaces are limited for larger vehicles, so arrive early in summer.
- Parking de la Gare, 1km south — Situated next to Bastia's railway station, this open-air car park has more room for campervans and motorhomes. It is a short walk to Place Saint-Nicolas and the ferry port.
- Parking Toga, 2km north — Found north of the old port near the Toga marina, this area offers flat, accessible parking with space for larger vehicles. Handy for provisioning at nearby shops before heading out.

Both Jesus and Susana were very communicative and made the rental process very easy. The van is basically new in very good condition and easy to handle. It was fun cooking in remote places having a beautiful view and having a large fridge really helped to keep all cool and fresh. We had a nice time with it and would certainly recommend it to others.
