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.
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.
Camping Ribamar lies to the north of Alcossebre, tucked away within the National Park of the Sierra de Irta, a magnificent landscape of intense colours. Alcossebre is a delightful resort town which has retained its Spanish identity, unlike some of the larger resorts to the north, and offers three Blue Flag beaches and a wealth of cafés and restaurants. Although a little over two hours drive south of Barcelona, this is a very underpopulated region with excellent long-distance footpaths and cycle paths.
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).
Camping Altomira is a terraced site in a rural hillside setting on the outskirts of a quiet village. It offers excellent views across the valleys and hills, an amiable welcome, and a Spanish and international clientèle.
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 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.
Camping Bravoplaya is a vast site divided into two by a quiet road, with a reception on each side with friendly, helpful staff. There are three pool complexes (one can be covered in cooler weather and is heated), all of which are on the west side, whilst the beach (of shingle and sand) is on the east. Both sides have a restaurant – the one on the beach side has two air-conditioned wooden buildings and a terrace.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Los Olivos de Xivert is located on the Costa Azahar, in Alcala de Xivert, Castellon. It is located between the mountains and the coast of Alcossebre, close to the Sera d'Irta Natural Park. It’s spacious, well laid out with modern facilities and far reaching views of the mountains. It’s a modest sized campsite, dotted with tall palm trees and with more than one hundred pitches, each with electricity, water and drainage. The campsite is open all year and guests can enjoy a large swimming pool (open seasonally), and various services: bar, shop, laundry, indoor and outdoor gym, playground, pétanque and a dog park.
A well-organised site with extensive facilities that is popular all year. It is a 300 m. walk to a good beach, and parking is not too difficult. The site has 320 pitches (60-90 sq.m), all with electricity (6/10A), and a variety of bungalows, some attractively built in brick. There are dedicated ‘green’ pitches for tents.
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.
Located in the traditional village of Càlig near beautiful Peñiscola, Camping Orangeraie is an ideal destination to enjoy the Spanish sunshine only a few kilometres from the sea. Because of their large surface area and the privacy they offer, the pitches are perfect for a family holiday, accommodating a large family tent, caravan or campervan with an awning, as well as a vehicle. Children have the space they need to play and enjoy the playing area for their games. The “comfort” pitches are even more spacious than the standard pitches and reach 120 m². Many olive, carob and palm trees provide pleasant shade for the campsite, and wide alleys help to avoid overlooking. The site has a total of 318 pitches of which the 200 touring pitches are equipped with electric hook-up point 6A or 10A. Activities are organised during July and August including aqua gym sessions, shows, folk-dancing and demonstrations of falconry.
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.
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.

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.
