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.
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.
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.
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.
Camping Playa Barà is a family-friendly campsite in Roda de Barà, approximately 20 km from Tarragona. The beach is just a short walk away and is a long stretch of fine golden sand with various water sports on offer. This is a well-equipped site with high-quality facilities, well-demarcated and well-shaded pitches and loads of activities for children, such as volleyball tournaments, handball, basketball, tennis, paddle tennis, mini-golf and table tennis. The pool complex is superb, and you can also relax in the hot tub or go to the solarium to top up your tan. The campsite's restaurant is ideal for sharing time with the family and enjoying local culinary specialities.
Some two kilometres from the sea on the Costa Brava, this is a pristine and surprisingly tranquil site in two parts, split by the access road. One part contains the pitches and toilet blocks, the other houses the impressive leisure complex. There are 450 neat, level and marked pitches on grass, a minimum of 70 sq.m. but most are 80-100 sq.m, and 300 with electricity (10A). The leisure complex is across the road from reception and features a huge L-shaped swimming pool with a children’s area. A formal restaurant has an adjoining bar/café, pleasant terrace and rôtisserie under palms.
Las Dunas is an extensive, impressive and well-organised resort-style site with many on-site activities and an ongoing programme of improvements. The site has direct access to a superb sandy beach stretching for nearly a kilometre, with a windsurfing school and beach bar.

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.

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.

A lush green feel is given to the site by many palms and other semi-tropical trees and shrubs.
Family run campsite Camping Rodas is in a beautiful area of Spain, very close to the town of Roses and Santa Margarida beach. There is an excellent choice of accommodation to suit all including pitches for caravans, motorhomes and tents, as well as lodges and mobile homes. This site is the perfect place to relax with friends or family, but if you're looking to get out and about, the location makes it very easy to explore the unique Bay of Roses, the rest of the Costa Brava and Dali's main spots. There is also a plethora of activities to enjoy on the site and in the surrounding areas.
A very welcoming, open site that is attractive and well-maintained. The 230 grass pitches are flat and well maintained, with some shade and 10A electricity. Ten pitches also have water and drainage. Thirty smart mobile homes are placed unobtrusively at one end of the site. A pleasant pool complex, fringed by attractive palm trees, has a lifeguard, and the brightly coloured play areas are clean and safe.
The Ribas family has run Camping Solmar for over 40 years, and a warm welcome awaits you.

Electrical connections (10A) are available to all and there are 670 fully serviced pitches. There are several bungalow areas within the site with their own small pools and play areas, and some have shared jacuzzis. This is a great site for families.
A leafy pine forest covers the entire campsite, with part also covered with mulberry trees. Just 500m to the sea, Camping Benelux also has a pool area with a large section of grass for sunbathing. Close to the pool is an area with swings and children's games. Also, around the pool, you will find the supermarket, restaurant and bar terrace with a free WiFi connection. Pitches are a little on the small side, on bare earth, situated on flat ground or low terraces.
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.
Estanyet can be found midway between Barcelona and Valencia and would make a good stopover when travelling along Spain’s north east coast.

They are equipped with 5/10A electricity hook-ups. If you plan a longer stay, there is a good restaurant on site and a swimming pool.

There are 119 accommodations to rent and separate areas are devoted to seasonal caravans. This is a lively site in high season with a varied and comprehensive programme of entertainment and activities for adults and children. The Palmera bar/restaurant serves authentic Spanish food including tapas and ‘platos combinados’. A second bar/restaurant (Xiringuito Restaurant del Mar) with amazing sea views serves similar fare, and alongside is a well stocked shop.
Ideally situated in the Parc Natural del Delta del Ebro, a unique area of wetland and a World Heritage site, Eucaliptus is close to the golden sands of Platja Eucaliptus. Arriving here is like finding an oasis after the extraordinary drive through miles of flat marshland and rice fields. There are 264 small, level, shady grass pitches, 156 for touring, all with electricity (6A). The site is very well maintained and has a pleasant bar/restaurant with a terrace that overlooks both the pool area and the campsite’s own lagoon with its variety of wildlife. The pool has an attractive grassy area for sunbathing and the lagoon (fenced) replicates, in miniature, the habitat of the Delta, with helpful signs identifying flora and fauna.
La Noria is just over five acres in size with over 200 level touring pitches all having access to electricity (6A). Most of the touring pitches have good shade and the motorhome areas have hardstanding. A central cafeteria-style restaurant and small supermarket cater for most needs. Entertainment is available for young children with the multisport pitch and pétanque for those a bit older. The Mediterranean coast, with its clean sandy beaches, is a short, traffic free, walk away via a dedicated tunnel under the coastal railway line. La Noria is about 70 km. south west of Barcelona making it ideally situated for day trips whilst having access to sandy beaches and tranquil Catalonia countryside.
