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.
Les Medes is different from some of the ‘all singing, all dancing’ sites so popular along this coast. The friendly family of Pla-Coll are rightly proud of their innovative and award-winning site, which they have owned for almost 30 years. With just 170 pitches, the site is small enough for the owners and their staff to know their visitors, some of whom have been coming for many years. The top class facilities, along with the personal attention and activities available, make this a year-round home in the sun. The level, grassy pitches range in size from 70-80 sq.m. and are shaded. All have electricity (5/10A) and 155 also have water and drainage.
La Soleia d'Oix is a rural campsite located in Oix, Girona, Spain. It is a great place to stay if you are looking for a relaxing getaway in the beautiful countryside of Catalonia. Mountains and forests surround the campsite, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, and swimming in the nearby rivers. On the way to the campsite, you will have already experienced the vast landscapes and the mountain peaks in the background. The campsite is located on a slight slope and is reached via an easily passable mountain road. At the entrance is the large country house converted into a restaurant. There are 60 pitches which are for touring and have electric hook-up points available. The spacious pitches are situated along various deciduous tree-lined pathways and are around 100 m2 in size.
This Costa Daurada beach resort is in a prime location right on the beach, close to the Ebro Valley, not far from Tarragona and around 15 minutes drive from Port Aventura theme park. The site is popular with young people searching for watersports and a lively atmosphere and families looking for a varied programme of high-quality activities for children and adults alike.
Situated in the picturesque Prades Mountains, Camping Prades Park offers a perfect escape for outdoor enthusiasts. On-site, there are 70 spacious touring pitches with 13 Amp electric hookup points available. Pitches are approximately 70m2 in size and mostly separated from each other by trees, giving plenty of shade during the summer months and ample privacy between each pitch.
Close to the River Segre and the Sant Llorenç de Montgai basin, la Noguera sits at the foot of the Pyrenees in the picturesque Lleida province. It is the ideal place for a restful holiday with all your needs taken care of on-site - swimming pools, shop, restaurant and cinema, plus activities for adults and children in July and August. The 50 touring pitches are on compacted gravel and are separated by trees giving just a little dappled shade. All have 6A electricity hook-up and a water point nearby. There is a choice of bungalows and glamping tents to rent.
Family owned since 1977, Joncar Mar is a mature, all-year site with limited but well maintained facilities. Its strength is its location with the beach promenade just outside the gate, and the many resort leisure facilities and local cultural attractions readily available to customers. The site is divided by a minor road and most leisure facilities are positioned on one side of the site. There are no views and the site has some apartment blocks around the periphery. The 185 pitches, 147 for touring, are small (60 sq.m) with 6A electricity, and the mobile home area in one corner of the site is cramped. Some pitches require long electricity leads.
If you enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Costa Brava, then Bon Repos is ideal, if a little expensive. It is a long, narrow coastal site with many pitches along the length of the attractive fine sandy beach with direct access and no fence. The 500 touring pitches are of a reasonable size, flat with a sand surface and most with shade, and all have 10A electricity. The railway runs close along one side of the site, which is good for train spotters but does create a noise problem. The beach is the strong point of the site, having rocky outcrops and close by is the bar/restaurant with huge terrace.
Camping Blanes is the first of the sites which edge the pedestrian promenade here and probably the smallest. A private gate leads to the promenade and beach. Open all year, it is family owned and run and has been in the hands of the Boix family for 50 years. With only 181 pitches and no bungalows or mobile homes, it has a comfortable family atmosphere and is popular with low season visitors. The pitches average between 60-80 sq.m, have 6A electricity, and shade is provided by tall pines. Care must be taken when manoeuvring large units due to low branches and the irregular shape of some of the pitches.
Camping L’Albera is a quiet site set among cork and pine trees and surrounded by mountain views. In July 2012, this area of the Costa Brava was devastated by fire, but the site is undergoing a remarkable regeneration and now offers 75 touring pitches with 6/10A electricity. The 75 privately owned mobile homes which were destroyed are rapidly being replaced. The pitches are flat and accessible and most have 10A electricity. In high season, there is a family run bar and a restaurant serving a tapas menu, and visitors can cool off in the modest swimming pool. This comfortable site is ideal for those who wish to enjoy the tranquillity and culture of the Costa Brava and Catalonia in a beautiful setting.
Occupying a terraced hillside above colourful shingle coves and two small associated lagoons, this site falls into four areas. The central one with reception and supermarket has a group of 44 touring pitches, below this are chalets for rent and a few touring pitches on ground falling away towards the lagoons and the beach. A second larger touring section also has 54 mobile homes owned by tour operators and finally, the bar/restaurant, pool and other leisure facilities take pride of place on the hilltop, with glimpses of the sea through the trees. The pool and terrace area were refurbished a couple of years ago. There can be some train noise, especially in the front section.
This spacious, well laid out site has access to a fine beach via a footbridge over the coast road. Camping Internacional de Calonge is a family site with two attractive pools on different levels, a paddling pool and large sunbathing areas. A restaurant, bar and snack bar with great views are by the pool. The 466 touring pitches are on terraces, and all have electricity (5A), with 84 being fully serviced. There is good shade from the tall pine trees, and there are some spectacular coastal views. Some access roads and steps are steep, but a road train operates in high season. There are wonderful views from the upper levels where there are some larger comfort pitches. The pools are overlooked by the restaurant terraces which have great views over the mountains.
Berga Resort - This is unique because it resembles a 5* hotel more than a campsite. Although the site is one of the largest I have visited, with 621 emplacements with various accommodation options, there are just 30 serviced touring pitches, so booking is essential; most of these are on artificial grass or hard standing due to water restrictions in the area.
This peaceful and delightful, family run site has a lot going for it: its situation beside the sea with a wide beach of sand and pebbles, its amazing mountain backdrop, the views across the bay to the town and the friendly, relaxed atmosphere created by its owner of 40 years, Elisa Roller, her family and her staff. There are 152 mostly level pitches, some beside the beach, others on wide, informal terracing. Electricity (10A) is available throughout (long leads may be needed in places). Pine and olive trees are an attractive feature and provide some shade. The restaurant with its homely touches has a good local menu and a reputation extending well outside the site.
This large campsite has a lovely setting alongside a slow-flowing river against a backdrop of stunning cliffs and tree-covered slopes. 240 small to medium-sized pitches are scattered amongst the trees, 140 for touring, all with 5A electricity. Many are fully serviced (water, drainage and electricity).
While Calella itself may conjure up visions of mass tourism, this site is set on a very steep hillside some 3 km. out of the town. Any noise from the nearby coast road and railway gets lost as you gain height. Of the 160 pitches, 120 are for touring units, all with electricity and on flat terraces on the slopes, with some shade. The remaining pitches are occupied by Spanish seasonal units. There are good views of the sea from the terraces. The access road is extremely steep, with most of the pitches enjoying the lovely views. The site has been under new ownership since 2011, although at the time of our visit there was little evidence of any development other than the addition of six tents to rent.
Frontera Park lives up to its name, as it is situated on the border with Andorra. The site is strung out along the banks of a small river with no reported problems with flooding. There are 230 fairly small grass pitches, 50 for touring, with mountain views, trees giving some shade and 10A electricity. Chalets are situated in the northern part of the site, away from the camping area. The rest of the site is given over to static caravans (some in very poor condition). During the winter this is a good area for skiing in the Pyrenees. In summer there are hiking trails plus lakes and rivers, with many possibilities for wild water canoeing and swimming in this picturesque region.
This large holiday village is attractively situated in a wooded valley with cows grazing to one side, their pleasant bells often to be heard. A stream runs below the site, between it and the road.
La Llosa is situated close to the attractive seafront town of Cambrils. You will meet three generations of this family about the site, the younger members speak good English. We were met by a bustle of happy noise from the bar/restaurant area and this atmosphere was evident throughout our stay. The site is hidden in a residential area 100 m. from the excellent beach and promenade of Cambrils and has a pleasant pool with separate paddling area. The 272 touring pitches with 6A electricity, are level, shaded by trees (watch the overheads) and are traditional, as are most of the facilities here. This site will appeal to campers who do not want the glitz and brashness of modern sites.
Ager is a paradise for hang-gliders. The Montsec mountain range (1,677 m) towers over the site in the Catalan pre-Pyrenees. There are 182 pitches (85 for touring) on terraced and slightly sloping ground, marked out by trees and with shade. Electricity (10A) is available to all and water points are distributed around the site. The touring pitches are on the small side and not suitable for large units. Site activities revolve around hang-gliding – one of the landing sites is just outside the perimeter and even the beer pump is in the form of a hang-glider!
