Sousse is in the central-east of the country, about one hour and half far from Tunis, which makes IL Sogno camp pretty accessible to those living in the greater Tunis area, from the North, and all the Sousse governorate surroundings.

The Story Behind IL Sogno

The founders of this campground are two friends, Moncef and Rachid. Both of them share great passions for handwork, camping and nature.

Two years ago, in 2018, right after their retirement, Moncef and Rachid went ahead and launched their long-awaited project.

For the two friends, the campground project was a dream that came true. IL Sogno would translate everything that has been built by passion, as it is a product of their vision and work. In other word, they are the ones who built up everything with their own hands little by little.

It took them two years to fully build the campsite but there’s a lot of passion into it that is to be shared with campers and nature lovers. The main idea was to build an eco-camping center in Sousse, promoting the love of nature.

How to book

Although the IL Sogno campground project is not yet fully finished, the owners started welcoming campers.

IL Sogno offers telephone booking, +216-50 037 021. As of October 2020, online booking is not available but it is expected to be available anytime soon. We would recommend you to check their website and/or Facebook page for alerts as to when advance bookings become available.
