Camping Maçanet de Cabrenys

Alan Rogers Review of Camping Maçanet de Cabrenys

Hidden away in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Camping Maçanet de Cabrenys is tranquil, calm and well ordered. The enthusiastic owner, Sergi, and his family established the site eight years ago in a clearing created in the pine forest by felling 1,000 trees. Twenty-nine touring pitches occupy the lower slopes of the clearing and more are being created on the edge of the woods below. All have 10A electricity, including some of the 29 tent pitches which are among the trees, on terraces. Reception, bar and snack bar are in a wooden chalet above the pool and playing field.

The views of the surrounding tree-clad mountain slopes are impressive and you can wander off into the forest or make your way down the hill to the river below, where a clearing has been made and bathing and fishing are possible. The village is three kilometres away and has a bank, a few shops, bars and restaurants and several interesting churches. There is a bus service to Figueres. The opportunities for enthusiastic walkers and cyclists (bicycles may be hired) are numerous, and canoeing is possible on a nearby lake. Six well equipped, wooden chalets are available for hire. The beaches and attractions of the northern Costa Brava are 50 km. away.
