Here’s a campsite in a great spot: a stone’s throw from the beach, a short 15 km drive from Valencia and plenty to do on the doorstep. Camping Valencia is just 3 km from Puzol, where you’ll find your local shops and amenities. The adjacent Blue Flag beach is sandy and lapped by the warm waters of the Med. A long, wide promenade runs along the beach, ideal for a pleasant stroll, and there are paths and trails close by for walking or cycling into the town for some shopping. The site is large and well-run, with an excellent restaurant (takeaway service is handy) and an organised kids club and daily entertainment in high season. The large pool complex with a waterslide and giant inflatables is a big draw, and there are tennis courts, football and basketball.
Alannia Costa Blanca (formerly Marjal) is a fully equipped site situated 15 km. inland on the southern Alicante coast, close to the towns of Crevillente and Catral and the Parque Natural de El Hondo. Around 1,200 hardstanding pitches range in size from 90-95 sq.m, and all have electricity (16A), water, drainage, TV and high-speed internet connections (charged).
In the Bay of Roses, south of Empuriabrava and beside the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, this is a high quality site of particular interest to nature lovers (especially birdwatchers) and families. A large site, there are 1,110 well kept, large, numbered pitches, all with electricity and on flat, sandy ground. Beautifully laid out, it is arranged around the river and waterways, so will suit those who like to be close to water or who enjoy watersports and boating. It is also a superb beachside site, and there is also accommodation for rental.
Camping Ribamar lies to the north of Alcossebre, tucked away within the National Park of the Sierra de Irta, a magnificent landscape of intense colours. Alcossebre is a delightful resort town which has retained its Spanish identity, unlike some of the larger resorts to the north, and offers three Blue Flag beaches and a wealth of cafés and restaurants. Although a little over two hours drive south of Barcelona, this is a very underpopulated region with excellent long-distance footpaths and cycle paths.
This campsite is situated on the beach in the small fishing village of L’Ampolla, famous for its gastronomy, peaceful beaches and coves. The site offers 87 large grass shady touring pitches with electric hook up connections available a and fully equipped bungalows for rent. Ideal for couples, families and anybody who wants lots of activities including fishing, excursions (walking, cycling, horseriding, boats), watersports (windsurfing, kite-surfing, kayaking and waterskiing), as well as good food and relaxation.
Benidorm is increasingly popular for winter stays and Villasol is a genuinely good, purpose built modern site. Many of the 448 well separated pitches are arranged on wide terraces which afford views of the mountains surrounding Benidorm. All pitches (80-85 sq.m) have electricity and satellite TV connections, with 163 with full services for seasonal use. Shade is mainly artificial. Reservations are only accepted for winter stays of over three months (from 1 October). There is a small indoor pool, heated for winter use, and a very attractive, large outdoor pool complex (summer only) overlooked by the bar/restaurant and attractive, elevated restaurant terrace.
Previously known as Camping Cuevas Mar, this is a well-established campsite that proves popular and busy during the warm winter months. The 179 flat pitches on a stone chip are generally 80-100 sq.m. each with a 6/10amp electric supply. Shrubs and trees (some shade) act as pitch dividers, and those near the road are not overly affected as traffic volume is relatively low. Some areas have shade canopies erected during the hot summer months. Overall, throughout, there is a peaceful atmosphere.
This large and impressive, deluxe site is very efficiently run by the Sandaya Group. The main part of the camping area is pinewood, with over 800 clearly marked pitches, 465 dedicated to touring with electricity, water and drainage, and most with hardstanding. The 267 élite pitches of 120 sq.m. are excellent. Cypsela is a busy, well-administered site, only 2 km. from the sea, which we can thoroughly recommend, especially for families. The site has good quality fixtures and fittings, all kept clean and maintained to a high standard. The site has many striking features, one of which is the sumptuous complex of sports facilities and amenities near the entrance.
Wecamp Cabo de Gata is located in the heart of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park in Almería, Spain, near the small fishing village of Las Negras. The site is situated in the adjacent bay 1.5 km from the town on a secluded stretch of beach.
Camping Altomira is a terraced site in a rural hillside setting on the outskirts of a quiet village. It offers excellent views across the valleys and hills, an amiable welcome, and a Spanish and international clientèle.
Situated in the heart of Andalusia, Huttopia Parque de Doñana is the perfect base for exploring the region amid the Andalusian provinces of Huelva, Seville and Cadiz, nestled in the heart of the Doñana National Park (the largest protected natural site in Europe and a UNESCO biosphere reserve). Nature is everywhere here, and with 200 touring pitches on this site, it is the preferred place to explore the surrounding region.
This site is in a rural location and great for the beach which is just across the road, 3km down the road is the town of Blanes with its shops, supermarkets and nightlife. There are 100 well-spaced pitches, these are not separated to any degree, but there are trees offering shade on most pitches; there are also a further 80 mobile homes/glamping units and tents available for rental. The site shop was well stocked, and the standard of food served in the restaurant was excellent, offering a lovely view over the modern pool complex.
Sitting on the terrace in front of the restaurant – a beautifully converted Catalan farmhouse dating from 1908 – it isn't easy to believe that in 1982, this was still a farm with few trees and known as Mas Roque (literally, Rock Farm). Since then, the imaginative planting of thousands of trees and gloriously colourful shrubs have made this large campsite most attractive. It has an impressive range of high-quality amenities and facilities open all year.
A pleasant tree-lined approach road gives way to avenues of palms as you arrive at Torre del Sol. This large, well-designed site occupies a good position in southern Catalunya with direct access to a 800m. long soft sand beach.
Michelle, Josep and their daughter run this spacious, friendly site, which is always a popular destination. It is spotlessly clean and well-maintained, and the owners operate the site in an environmentally friendly way. Eight hundred seventy-two level grass pitches (720 for touring units) are laid out in a grid system, all with 10A electricity.
Camping Kikopark Playa is a smart site nestling behind protective dunes alongside a Blue Flag beach. There are sets of attractively tiled steps over the dunes or a long boardwalk near the beach bar (suitable for prams and wheelchairs) to take you to the fine white sandy beach and the sea. From the central reception point (where good English is spoken), flat, fine gravel pitches and access roads are divided to the left and right.
The final approach to this site emerges from the bustle of the town and is decorated with palm, orange and pine trees, the latter playing host to a colony of parakeets. English is spoken at reception. The neat, boxed hedges and palms within the site and its backdrop of hills dotted with villas presents an attractive setting. Three hectares provide space for 214 numbered pitches with 193 for touring units. Flat, level and rectangular in shape, the pitches vary in size (60-80 sq.m). All pitches have a granite chip surface and 8A electricity. The restaurant provides great food, way above normal campsite standards.
The Ribas family has run Camping Solmar for over 40 years, and a warm welcome awaits you. The well-equipped site is located 150 metres from a sandy beach in the busy resort of Blanes and is sprinkled with palm trees. The accessible, shaded pitches are 65-85 sq.m., and all have 6A electricity connections. On-site amenities include an attractive restaurant, bar, terrace, and a central swimming pool complex with islands and bridges.
This is a welcoming and organised family site approached by an attractive road flanked by orchards. Aquarius has direct access to a quiet, sandy beach that slopes gently and provides good bathing. Watersports are popular, particularly windsurfing (a school is provided). One-third of the site has good shade with a park-like atmosphere. There are 414 touring pitches, all with electricity (6/16A and 6 caravans for hire). Markus Rupp and his wife are keen to make every visitor’s experience a happy one.

Spain
One of the largest countries in Europe, with glorious beaches, a fantastic sunshine record, vibrant towns and laid back sleepy villages, plus a diversity of landscape, culture and artistic traditions, Spain has all the ingredients for a great holiday.
Spain has a huge choice of beach resorts to choose from. With charming villages and attractive towns, the Costa Brava boasts spectacular scenery with towering cliffs and sheltered coves. There are plenty of lively resorts, including Lloret, Tossa and Calella, plus several quieter ones.
Further along the east coast, the Costa del Azahar stretches from Vinaros to Almanzora, with the great port of Valencia in the middle. Orange groves abound. The central section of the coastline, the Costa Blanca, has 170 miles or so of silvery-white beaches. Benidorm is the most popular resort. The Costa del Sol lies in the south, home to more beaches and brilliant sunshine, whilst in the north, the Costa Verde is largely unspoiled, with clean water, sandy beaches and
rocky coves against a backdrop of mountains.
Beaches and sunshine aside, Spain also has plenty of great cities and towns to explore, including Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid, Toledo and Bilbao, all offering an array of sights, galleries and museums.
The laid-back pace is ideal for unwinding, and the country’s many festivals offer a chance to experience Spanish life at its best. From the famous Benicassim music festival in July to the feast of La Virgen de la Vega in Salamanca during September, visitors are spoiled for choice when camping in Spain.
Spain has a range of landscapes, from the soaring peaks of the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa down to the long ribbons of sand on the Mediterranean coast. There is an arid desert, lush valleys and vineyards, fertile fields and scrubby plains. If road-tripping is your thing, check out our guide to Spain’s Mediterranean Coast
Camping in the Spanish interior
Camping in the Spanish interior
The Spanish interior is a vast area, but there are several key regions worth exploring.
Castilla y León
The large region of Castilla y León is located inland, bordering Portugal to the west. It has a rich legacy dating back to the Romans, with an extraordinary wealth of castles, cathedrals and mansions, historic cities and towns. To the south, Avila is surrounded by 11th-century walls and is set on high plains. Salamanca is a graceful city, once home to one of the world’s most illustrious universities. Its grand Plaza Mayor is the finest in Spain. Segovia is known for its magnificent Roman aqueduct, cathedral and the fairytale Alcazár with its turrets and towers. Soria, Burgos (birthplace of El Cid) and Leon are all well worth a visit.
La Rioja
A small region, La Rioja is the most highly regarded wine region in Spain. Rioja is considered one of the finest wines in the world, its production is centred around Haro.
Aragon
Aragon lies to the east and borders Catalonia and the Pyrenees with France to the north. It’s a region rich in folklore with rural mountain villages, Romanesque architecture, lush valleys and jaw-dropping mountain peaks. It’s a great place for walking, admiring nature and spectacular scenery.
Castilla La Mancha
Castilla La Mancha is found south of Madrid in the ancient kingdom of Castille. It encompasses the area known as La Mancha, universally famous as the setting for the great Miguel de Cervantes novel ‘Don Quijote de la Mancha’. There are plains, mountains, Toledo with its monuments and art and the El Greco museum (the brilliant painter was born here). And, yes, you can follow the ‘Don Quijote Route’, which will take you to the famous windmills at Campo de Criptana.
Extremadura
Extremadura is one the most beautiful, and perhaps least known, regions of inland Spain. Its stunning cities, first Roman, then Moorish, then medieval and aristocratic, gave birth to many of the conquistadors – conquerors of the New World. Sparsely populated, it borders Portugal and features fascinating places like Cácares with its Moorish walls, Plasencia’s Gothic cathedral and Trujillo, the birthplace of Pizzaro, the conqueror of Peru.
Camping and Caravanning on the Costas
Camping and Caravanning on the Costas
It’s the beaches that are the biggest draw – for many, Spain is all about the lure of the costas. When camping or motorcaravanning in Spain you’ll find a huge choice of beach campsites.
With charming villages and attractive towns, people go camping and caravanning on the Costa Brava for the spectacular scenery, high cliffs and sheltered coves. Beginning some 40 km north of Barcelona, the Costa Brava includes the entire shoreline of Girona, an area of great natural beauty with small coves and steep cliffs. The lively resorts include Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Roses, L’Escala, Sant Pere Pescador, Palamós, Palafrugell and Calella and a number of quieter spots.
Further along the coast, the Costa del Azahar stretches from Vinaros to Almanzora, with the great port of Valencia in the middle, the surrounding hills cloaked in orange groves.
Camping on the Costa Blanca is popular for its 170 miles of silvery-white beach. Benidorm is the most well-known resort. To the south lies the Costa del Sol, a magnet for campers, caravanners and motorhomers, blessed as it is with countless beaches and countless hours of sunshine.
In the far north, on the Atlantic coast, camping on the Costa Verde is a different proposition: largely untouched, with clean water, sandy beaches and rocky coves, it’s sheltered by the immense backdrop of the snow-capped mountains.
The Mediterranean coast of Spain

Catalonia
Camping and caravanning in Catalonia is made easy by a large number of high-quality campsites. You’ll find some very large Catalonian campsites suitable for tents, caravans and motorhomes, most offering serious facilities like aqua parks, restaurants, spa facilities and loads of kids activities. The region of Catalunya, with its independent identity, is full of rich contrasts embracing modernity and ancient tradition in equal measure. It has its own style of cuisine, which displays Iberian, Italian and Arab influences, and encompasses everything from variations on paella to the unique crema catalana, a must-try dessert.
Barcelona
Barcelona is the historical capital of Catalunya and Spain’s second city after Madrid. The beautiful city has an impressive architectural heritage that includes the Gothic Quarter, with its cathedral, the old City Hall, the Episcopal Palace and the Palace of the Generalitat. The city also boasts works by the incomparable modernist architect Antonio Gaudi.
Valencia region and Murcia
This Mediterranean region is famous for magnificent orange groves and long sandy beaches. Centuries of Moorish influence have resulted in a profound Hispano-Moorish heritage. The glorious Orange Blossom coast wraps around Valencia city, with great beaches around Benicassim and Peñiscola. The nightlife is vibrant, and the festivals are numerous
Murcia offers sandy beaches with dunes and unspoilt coves along the coast. Inland are hills and valleys and regional parks like Sierra de Carche, Sierra de la Pila, Sierra de Espuña Carrascoy and El Valle. These are magnificent, with a huge variety of flora and fauna. The capital, Murcia, was founded by the Moors in the 9th century and has a range of museums, the square of Cardinal Belluga, the Episcopal Palace and the cathedral.
Andalucia
Famous for its sun, its beautiful traditions, its poets, original folklore, age-old history and magnificent heritage left behind by the Moors, Andalucia is one of the most attractive regions in Spain. No surprise that is popular with caravanners and motorcaravanners in winter. Many head to Andalucian campsites for the balmy winter sun and excellent value.
With the river Guadalquivir running through it, the charming city of Seville is one of the most visited places. The old city, with its great monuments: the Giralda Tower, cathedral and the Alcázar, plus the narrow, winding streets of Santa Cruz, is particularly popular.
Cordoba is northeast of Seville with a picturesque Jewish Quarter along with a rich Moorish heritage. Indeed the Mezquita is one of the grandest mosques ever built by the Moors in Spain.
Further east on the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Granada is home to the dramatic Alhambra, a group of distinct buildings including the Royal Palace, splendid gardens, and the fortress of Alcazaba. The Sierra Nevada, Spain’s highest range, offers good skiing and trekking. Further south lie the beaches of Costa Tropical and the Costa del Sol, including the resorts of Malaga and Cadiz.
For a good old-fashioned bucket and spade holiday, Andalucia is the obvious choice. With 800km of coastline running into the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, it’s the perfect option for sunshine and surf.
