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).
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
An all-year site with a good range of amenities, Villamar operates to high standards and rules. There are 584 pitches for long-term units, with 506 for touring positioned amongst them. The pitches are large and flat, with some shade from young trees. The central pool and amenities complex with its extensive grass areas dotted with palms, is cleverly designed and very smart. Sit on the terraces looking over the tropical scenery as you dine. You will find it difficult to remember that the teeming town of Benidorm is close by.
Camping Playa Paraiso is a small, well maintained campsite by the sea. It has been reopened by new owners who lost one of their other sites to housing developers. On the lower level, the main site road is of tarmac and the 70 gravel touring pitches are on shallow terraces as the site slopes gently down to the sea, which provides one of the boundaries. The views are pleasant and trees provide a degree of shade for some pitches, with overhead sunshades on others. Electricity (16A) is available to all. Since the opening of a new bypass, the site has become very quiet with only local traffic passing the gate, so pitches nearer the sea will hear no traffic noise at all.
This small, uncomplicated site is 1.8 kilometres back from the eastern Benidorm beach (the one on the other side of the town is less crowded). Armanello is quietly situated just far enough away from the main coast road to avoid excessive noise. It is a plain and mature site, with 100 small pitches (60 sq.m), all with 16A electricity, marked out in bays of ten or twelve in former citrus and olive groves. The facilities here are rather basic and we see this as a site for transit stops and short stays rather than as a holiday site, but the rates are very good. There are 30 bungalows and mobile homes for hire.
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.
A basic 'Aire' style site, suitable for motorhomes only. Conveniently located for Parc Natural de la Serra Gelada and the attractive town of Altea.
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.
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.
Camping Internacional Las Palmeras is set between palm trees in the south-east of Spain, located 10 minutes from Elche and 20 minutes from some of the cleanest beaches in Europe. Their outdoor pool area is perfect for small children as they have their own special little one, and for adults, there is also a lovely Jacuzzi to relax in. There is a dedicated place for barbecues and you will find a supermarket just 50 metres away where you can buy all of your provisions. If you are not interested in cooking, you can also try their fantastic restaurant. Here you will find specialities from various regions of Spain including paellas (rabbit, shellfish, lobster etc) and also an abundance of shellfish, fresh from the coast. In July and August, they offer a varied entertainment programme that is provided for children and adults and all activities are supervised by qualified staff. Camping Internacional Las Palmeras is the perfect place for creating good memories with your family in summer and for peace seekers who want to have a break in winter.
Established in 1997 and currently managed by Luis Villamediana, this quality, the purpose-built 8-hectare clean, tidy site provides 650 pitches with approximately 250 reserved for visiting tourers, the remainder being long-term occupation. Located 1.5km from the town, Levante beach and promenade, this well-maintained, gently sloping site with tarmac roads has pitches of 80sq metres or more separated by manicured low cypress hedging and some trees which may provide a degree of shade. Units are in ‘close proximity’ to each other. Three of the five large sanitary blocks have recently been refurbished to the highest standards. The large bar/restaurant with its terrace overlooking the site is ideal for absorbing the setting sun with an impressive mountain backdrop. Plus there is an indoor and outdoor swimming pool and an exceptionally well-stocked shop, are all close to the entrance, some distance from the furthest pitches. All pitches have a water supply, 10amp electric hook-up and satellite TV connection. It is estimated that 65% of the site occupancy is British; therefore, the nearby bars, cafes and restaurants tend to cater for that nationality.
Camping Almafrá is a good quality site, open all year and close to Benidorm. There are a good range of amenities here, most of which are open to the general public. These include a spa and wellness centre, a well equipped gym and tennis courts. There is a large outdoor pool and separate covered pool complex which also includes a steam bath and massage room. The site restaurant is large with a terrace overlooking the pool and surrounding gardens. Various grades of pitch are available, all including electricity (16A), and some with water, drainage and satellite TV and WiFi connections. Pitch sizes vary from 94-164 sq.m.

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.
