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.
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).
Lo Monte is an all-year site located at Pilar de la Horadada, the most southerly town on the Costa Blanca. It is just 1 km from Blue Flag beaches. There are 127 pitches, most of which are for touring units. All have 16A electricity (Europlug), water and drainage. Leisure facilities include an indoor pool (open all year), an outdoor pool (open May to September), and a wellness centre. This is a popular holiday destination with a good range of facilities.
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.
Camping El Torres opened in November 2014 and with a spectacular backdrop of mountains, glorious views of the Mediterranean and close proximity to a long sand and pebble beach, this site has become very popular. The site is just north of the town of Villajoyosa with its ancient colourful buildings and chocolate factories. The white gravel pitches are large, fully serviced with water, 10/16A electricity (2-pin plugs) and drainage, and separated by young fir saplings. The campsite erected artificial shade on the pitches while the young trees mature. The beach is accessed directly from the site via a small wooded area.
Very efficiently run, Camping La Marina Resort has 450 touring pitches of three different types and sizes ranging from 50 sq.m. to 150 sq.m. with electricity (10/16A), TV, water and drainage. Artificial shade is provided, and the pitches are well maintained on level, well-drained ground, with a particular area allocated for tents in a small orchard.
Camping Benisol is a well developed and peaceful site with lush, green vegetation and a mountain backdrop. Mature hedges and trees afford privacy to each pitch and some artificial shade is provided where necessary. There are 270 pitches of which around 90 are for touring units (60-80 sq.m). All have electricity hook-ups (10A) and 75 have drainage. All the connecting roads are now surfaced with tarmac. Some daytime road noise should be expected. The site has an excellent restaurant serving traditional Spanish food at great prices, with a pretty, shaded terrace overlooking the pool with its palms and thatched pool bar.
This small site has 80 pitches with 60 for touring units, some with views of the distant hills. Bungalows line three sides of the white-walled, rectangular site with a railway (not too busy) on the final side. Reception is efficient with keen staff members speaking several languages. The flat pitches are on gravel and all have 6A electricity. Some are small (40, 60 or 80 sq.m) and will be a challenge for large units. There is natural shade from trees and some artificial shade. A pleasant pool is the centrepiece with a bright poolside bar and a restaurant with a patio.
Located in the Marina Baja region of the Costa Blanca, Camping Alicante Imperium is on the outskirts of Villajoyosa - a charming Mediterranean coastal town. The owners have put their thirty years of camping experience to good use by designing a lovely site with excellent facilities. The unique ‘avenue’ design with different sized pitches means the grounds are easy to navigate and there are plots suitable for all outfits. Among the well-kept amenities are a small shop, two Roman inspired pools and a bar and restaurant which afford stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
The site is located beside the estuary of the Segura river, alongside the pine and eucalyptus forests of the Dunas de Guardamar Natural Park. A fine sandy beach can be reached through the forest (800 m). This is a brilliant site with a vast tropical lake-style pool with a bar and a superb sports complex. There are 212 pitches on this award-winning site, 158 for touring with water, electricity (16A), drainage, high-speed internet and satellite TV points. The ground is covered with crushed marble, making the pitches clean and pleasant.
Camping La Pedrera offers a peaceful and relaxing break all year round. This lovely little site has a great snack bar and restaurant offering traditional affordable dishes every day, except Mondays in the low season. La Pedrera is tucked away on the outskirts of Bigastro and is about a 20 minute walk to the centre where you will find all the shops you need. It is near a natural park, and only four kilometres from Embalse de la Pedrera, the biggest marsh in Alicante province which offers plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling. For cyclists, this is a paradise as you can make several loops including hills and flat. and the beach is about an hours ride away. Lots of orange and lemon orchards. The site has 40 touring units with 16 amp electric hook-up. There are also lodges and mobile homes to rent.
Just a short drive away from the bustling city of Benidorm, Camping La Media offers a serene escape from the urban hustle and bustle while still providing convenient access to the vibrant attractions nearby. La Media Legua is a modern resort-style site built on the grounds of an old "finca", with the old farmhouse converted to provide a relaxing restaurant/bar serving delicious local dishes.
Fancy getting to know the Costa Blanca? Need to park up and explore? Look no further than this camper park, set back from the bustle of Benidorm and surrounded by orange groves. It’s a family run site where you can expect a friendly welcome. There are good-sized pitches with a central bar area and swimming pool where you can cool off and little lanes around the site which are ideal for a pleasant evening stroll. If you fancy more activities tennis, riding, fishing and watersports are all available nearby.
A basic 'Aire' style site, suitable for motorhomes only. Conveniently located for the historic town of Sant Joan d'Alacant.
Formerly known as Excalibur Medieval Camping, touring pitches are no longer available at this site. The resort offers lodge and mobile home accommodation only. This is a site you could either love or loathe. Unlike other campsites, it has a Medieval theme. An American theme park approach has been attempted here and we saw lots of families enjoying themselves. However, we also saw that there was a constant struggle to keep up with the high maintenance demands of such as populated site. At peak times amenities appear to be stressed.
This is a relaxed family-friendly campsite lying in the Rincón de Loix district of Benidorm and about 1 km from the nearest beach. This is the Playa de Llevant, a huge stretch of sand, justifiably popular with everyone. There’s a lively bar with food and live music, including flamenco nights, a good-sized swimming pool, small supermarket and a wide range of bungalow and chalet rentals. As you’d expect, local amenities are excellent with plenty of shops and restaurants on your doorstep, while the city centre is close by, as are various theme parks like Aqualandia (600 metres) and Terra Mitica, well served by handy bus services.
Camping El Jardin is a friendly place, right in the heart of the Costa Blanca between Alicante and Benidorm. The main beaches are just 500 metres away, offering vast swathes of white sand, clear waters and plenty of seafront bars and restaurants. The Muchavista and San Juan beaches are Blue Flag accredited and stretch out for 7 km - they are the main draw for many visitors and you’ll soon see why.
Near the pretty mountain-top village of Campell, this new site is perched high on the side of a mountain with breathtaking views of hilltop villages, the surrounding hills and distant sea. With a wholehearted welcome from the owners, the well maintained site promises a real taste of Spain. The pitches, pool, terrace and restaurant all share the views. The 68 average sized gravel pitches (30 for touring) are on terraces and all have 6A electricity and water. Trees and hedges have been planted and now give ample shade. This is a great place to get away from the coastal hustle, bustle and high rise of the beaches.
The coastline south from Alicante is one long silver sand beach, reaching Camping Palm-Mar after 35 km or so. The beach here, just a few steps from the campsite, is La Roqueta and is a Blue Flag accredited beach and the waters are reportedly the warmest of the Costa Blanca. Others nearby include Rebollo, Moncayo and Los Tusales and all are must-visit. On site the pitches are delimited and well shaded by leafy trees and there a profusion of tumbling bougainvillea. There’s a snack bar, a restaurant serving local specialities (takeaways are offered which can be useful), small shop and play ground.
Vast sandy beaches fringe the coastline throughout this sunny region. But this campsite, situated in the resort of Jávea, is close to one of the finest. Just 500 metres from the campsite is El Arenal beach, a wide half moon beach, backed by a promenade, and in a natural harbour. On site there’s a good sized swimming pool, surrounded by tall palm trees and plenty of space for loungers. There’s a well stocked bar and a rather good restaurant offers a broad menu and serves tasty tapas and pizzas. A good range of accommodation units are available for rent. Shops, restaurants and bars are all close at hand in Jávea, which is well worth exploring for its ancient history and fishing village origins.

Comunidad Valenciana
This Mediterranean region is famous for its magnificent orange groves and beautiful long, sandy beaches. Centuries of Moorish presence have resulted in a profound Hispano-Moorish heritage.
La Costa del Azahar (Orange-blossom Coast) stretches from Vinaros to Almanzora, with the great port city of Valencia in the centre. Orange groves grow right down to the coast, particularly in the northern section. Good beaches can be found around Benicassim and Peñíscola. South of Valencia, the Costa Blanca derives its name from its 170 miles or so of silvery-white beaches – some of the best beaches are to be found on this coast, especially between Gandía and Benidorm. As a result, it is one of the most popular tourist areas in Spain.
The capital city of Valencia boasts a great nightlife and plays host to numerous festivals held throughout the year, including the unique fiesta of Las Fallas de Saint Joseph, when huge papier-mâché sculptures are set ablaze. Throughout it all are bullfights, music and fireworks. Alicante, the capital of the province of the same name, is dominated by the great Moorish castle of Santa Barbara, which offers marvellous views of the entire city. It also has several beaches in and around the town.
Valencia is made up of the following regions: Castellon, Valencia and Alicante.
