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.
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.
Approached through a new urbanisation and situated by Oliva beach with its fine golden sand, Euro Camping is a well maintained, British owned site. Spacious and flat, it is set amidst many high trees, mainly eucalyptus, so ensuring shade in summer, but plenty of sunny spaces in winter. From reception, with its helpful English-speaking staff and interesting aviary opposite, wide tarmac or paved roads lead to 298 gravel-based pitches (70-120 sq.m) which are either marked or hedged (most are for touring units). The main site road leads down to a beachside restaurant with superb views and a supermarket.
At an altitude of 700 metres on open land adjacent to olive plantations and set amongst pine-laden mountain scenery overlooking the picturesque 27km ‘Embalse de Contreras’ (reservoir), is the all-year 4.5ha unique campsite Kiko Park Rural. Constructed and built to represent a small pueblo (village) utilising reclaimed materials, it allows for an authentic, effective yesteryear atmosphere.
Pepe campsite is located right on a fine, sandy beach, a popular choice with fans of classic sunsets. Just a few metres away is the Oliva Nova golf club, an all too handy distraction for some. Valencia is an hour’s drive or so to the north and makes a fantastic day trip. The campsite has its own supermarket, a children’s play area and a bar-restaurant right on the sands serving a range of delicious paellas to the sound of the waves on the beach. There’s a busy schedule of activities and entertainment in high season, with musical performances, sports contests, kids’ games and parties. There are 126 good sized pitches, well delimited and shaded by leafy trees. There is also a selection of mobile homes and bungalows to rent.
Camping Puzol is a family campsite located on Puzol beach. Only 14 km. From Valencia, the campsite is next to the sandy beach and surrounded by a quiet atmosphere. There are loose gravel pitches with natural shade in summer and sun in winter. All pitches with electricity. There are bungalows to rent.
Camping San Vicente is a small campsite set right on the seafront, midway between Valencia and Benidorm. The vast Blue Flag beach is wide and sandy and a wooden walkway leads from the campsite directly on to the golden sands. Not surprisingly the atmosphere here is very relaxed, as befits a real ‘sand in your shoes’ holiday. The restaurant specialises in authentic local rice dishes and pitches offer some shade though are probably not ideal for very large motorhomes. A selection of chalets and bungalows are available to rent.
Camping Malvarrosa de Corinto is a lovely place to relax, right beside the beach on the Orange Blossom Coast. A path lined with tall palm trees leads to the sea and there are plenty more around the site, giving a tropical feel. Pitches are well shaded too. The on-site facilities include a small supermarket, fitness centre offering classes and instruction, sauna, massage and tennis, along with the Bar on The Beach which serves food and is located where you’d expect.
Camping Barraquetes is a bustling site which can be found around 20 km. south of Valencia, and just short walk from a fine sandy beach. Pitches are shady and most have electrical connections. A number of fully equipped mobile homes and chalets are available to rent. The site becomes lively in high season with numerous organised activities, including karaoke and dance evenings. Leisure facilities include an enticing pool, and separate paddling pool, a tennis court and a football pitch.
An outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, this campsite is set among the pine forests of the Sierra de Enguera mountains about 1 hour from Valencia and 100 km from the famous beaches of Gandia. You’ll find a relaxed, idyllic setting and a campsite that is a peaceful enclave, well away from the high season bustle of the coast.
This small rural campsite is tucked away inland, at the foot of Mt Toro in an area regarded as a natural landscape and yet just 13 km from Gandia, renowned for its superb beaches. There’s a swimming pool with sunny terrace and mountain views and a restaurant noted for its speciality grills, excellent range of tapas and wonderful paella. A good mix of timber chalets and bungalows is available for rent.
Camping La Naranja is a family-friendly campsite located within a nature reserve on the outskirts of Gandía, Valencia. With 113 pitches, including 56 for touring caravans with electricity hook-ups, Camping La Naranja caters to all. Choose from 30 seasonal pitches or opt for one of the 27 rental tents or cabins.
Camping Coll Vert is located in Playa de Pinedo and the nearby Albufera nature reserve, only 6,5 km from Valencia. There is a bus stop in front of the main gate with buses on the hour to the Valencian city centre. The sandy beach is within walking distance from the campsite. The Albufera lake is about 7 km away where you can enjoy boat trips and local food. There is also a cycle route along the beach to Valencia and to the lake from the campsite. There are approximately 80 touring pitches on loose gravel and grass, many have natural shade. There are also 3 sanitary blocks. The site offers rooms in their hostel and bungalows for rent. Free wifi is available all over the campsite.
Found behind the beach and sand dunes, Camping Azul can best be described as rustic and relaxed, ideal for those who prefer a quiet, unregimented site. A barrier at the entrance leads to reception on the left where limited English is spoken. From there, firm sandy roads lead to the sandy touring pitches with many low trees which have been sympathetically pruned to afford partial or full shade. Varying in size, some of the pitches are very compact, and pitching could be difficult. The little trees in and around the bar/café area, with its flower pots and trailing plants hanging from the branches, create a very pleasant Mediterranean atmosphere where food and drinks are served. Opposite this lies a small shop. The sanitary block in this area is spacious, clean (rota shown) and has a launderette and washbasins. Most of the chalets are in a segregated area with their own more mature facilities.
Camping L’Alqueria is situated on the main Gandia to Grau road and, although in an urban location, it is 1 km. from the beaches of Gandia. The 112 touring pitches are of a good size and on level ground, all with 10A electricity (Europlug; long leads necessary) and easy access to one of many water points. Some are separated by dividing hedges and there is plenty of shade from mature trees. There is a football pitch and a large swimming pool (caps required) with a sliding cover and a small paddling pool, adjacent but outside.
Santa Marta is beautifully located on the slopes of a mountain and is shaded by many old Mediterranean umbrella pine trees. Originally a municipal site, it was recently purchased by a group of four campsites and is being fully renovated and modernised. There are 250 small, terraced pitches, 235 for touring with 16A electricity. Access can be difficult due to the many trees. An olive grove has been bought to make 18 motorhome pitches. Marta was a local saint and the campsite is named after her shrine which is located high above on the mountain. This shrine is accessible for good hikers by a trail starting at the ancient village bull ring at the entrance to the campsite.
Situated high in the Sierra Mariola National Park, in a beautiful rural setting but only 12 km. from the old town of Bocairent, this is a real taste of Spain with hilltop views all around. Used mainly by the Spanish, the site is an undiscovered jewel with 170 slightly sloping pitches. These are well spaced and have shade from a mixture of young and mature trees. An orchard area, well away from the main site (with no amenities close by), is used for more casual camping. A traditional, stone built restaurant is slightly elevated with views over the site. Accessed by a few steps, this attractive building is covered in roses.
Camping Natura is tucked away inland about 30 minutes drive from the bustle of the coast and offers a spacious, peaceful retreat where you can relax in the shade, enjoy the facilities and natural surroundings. Leafy boulevards run alongside good sized pitches of around 70 square metres and a pleasant swimming pool acts as a kind of oasis. There’s also a café-bar – the paella is a popular option - and a good range of chalets and bungalows for rent.
Olé is a large, flat, seaside holiday site south of Valencia and close to the modern resort of Oliva. Its entrance is only 250 m. from the pleasant sandy beach. For those who do not want to share the busy beach, a large swimming pool is opened in July and August. There are 308 small pitches of compressed gravel, all with 6/10A electricity. Many are separated by hedges with pruned trees giving good shade to those away from the beach. A bar and a restaurant stand on the dunes overlooking the sea, together with a few unmarked pitches that are ideal for larger units. There are small groups of chalets and a few apartments to rent, all within their own areas.
Camping La Escalada Gandia is an adventure lover's paradise in the mountains of Marxuquera, Valencia. This thrilling campsite boasts its own via ferrata, climbing area, and outdoor pool, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The campsite offers 83 pitches with electricity for touring units and an additional 50 Safari tents for hire.

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.
