Camping Jonio

Basic Campground by the Sea.
Obviously you will have to pre-book first row pitches. That did work fine for me.
Campground is about a 30 min walk from the harbour where you will find really good seafood restaurants.
Staff is friendly and supportive.
Bathrooms are basic and clean. Toilet seats are missing — annoying.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this place. Booked a week here in a bungalow. Had my daughter with me aged 11, my partner also for the first few days. The bungalow was quite grotty and dismal. They are joined into other bungalows in a row. The first night there was a lot of noise from people partying and then another neighbour was arguing with the loud people. They all left. The second night a group of 17 French teenagers turned up doing some sort of camp. They took many of the chalets around us and were running around screaming and shouting late at night. The adults accompanying them had separate chalets. We asked them to be quiet but they were not interested. We spoke to night security and they spoke to the group and this didn’t make any difference. The next day we woke late and were tired. This was my partners last day and we had to cancel our plans because of the issue with these noisy neighbours. We thought about leaving. We went to speak to reception. The manager came. We got moved to a chalet which was a lot more pleasant. Yes still a bit dated but much much better. Because it was detached the noise issue was better. The teens were still loud and annoying, took over the site really, but we could at least sleep. Thanks to the owner for this change. I recommend don’t book a bungalow!
Other things. There are cute cats who come and chill on your patio. The chalet has a nice outside area. The supermarket is nearby. Catania is not far by bus, but the buses are unreliable.

Friendly and helpful staff. Love the location and view of the waterfront. We did not feel overcrowded despite the many campervans.
