The Campsites in Catalonia that will make you want to repeat

Catalonia is a paradise for those who love nature and getaways with a motorhome, tent or caravan. From endless beaches to mountain corners, the region is full of options to disconnect and live unique experiences.

Here is a selection of the 10 most recommended campsites in Catalonia, chosen for their location, services and that special touch that makes you want to come back every summer.

The location is hard to beat. Salou is the tourist capital of the Costa Dorada, with fine sandy beaches awarded with Blue Flag and a lively promenade. From the campsite, you can walk to the center and find terraces, bars and restaurants, or take the car and in less than ten minutes be in PortAventura, Ferrari Land or Caribe Aquatic Park. The campsite also extends over more than ten hectares of land next to the sea, with plots of up to 145 m² fully covered with grass and equipped with electricity, water and drainage.

The atmosphere is vibrant and family-oriented. Here you will find daily entertainment, evening shows in its large amphitheater, children’s clubs and a sports area with paddle tennis, tennis, soccer and mini-golf courts. There is also a doctor’s office, bicycle rental and even a small internal tourist train that connects the different areas of the campsite. And if you travel with your dog, Sangulí is pet friendly, with a playground specially designed for them.

In the heart of the Val d’Aran, the Verneda Camping Mountain Resort offers more than just a place to sleep: here you can experience the real VidaVerneda. Waking up with the freshness of the grass under your feet, opening the door of your tent or caravan and finding yourself surrounded by mountains, or staying in one of its cozy bungalows and wooden cabins, is part of the experience. From the charming bordas suites to the bordetas luxe, the campsite adapts to any way of traveling, always with a natural environment as protagonist.

The location could not be better. On the one hand, the Garonne River acts as a natural border; on the other, the Reiau Trail invites you to walk or cycle through the 33 villages of the valley, discovering corners that seem to be frozen in time. It is a perfect place to walk with a dog, observe flora and fauna or simply listen to the rustle of the trees. The plots are completely flat and are surrounded by a large family of trees that offer natural shade and coolness in summer.

Here life is enjoyed at a different pace. While the adults rest in a hammock or relax with a book, the children learn to ride a bike, play in the playgrounds or participate in summer activities. Between July and August, the campsite organizes workshops, games and educational excursions that encourage creativity and a love of nature. And when it’s time to cool off, the heated saltwater swimming pool – complete with children’s area and slide – becomes the center of family gatherings.

On the gastronomic side, the campsite’s restaurant serves dishes made with local products and options for all tastes: from breakfast on the terrace with views, to homemade pizzas and takeaway food that you can enjoy in your pitch. It also has a supermarket for quick shopping and, best of all, it is a pet friendly campsite, so your four-legged companion can also live his own adventure in the mountains.
