Good sanitary block but the pitches are very sandy indeed. Unfortunately we had a problem with reception. We paid on arrival but later told we hadn’t paid. In the end we had to prove that we had paid by showing them our bank statement. Surely they can track if a payment has been paid? This left a rather bitter feeling towards the site.

The beach nearby is delightful…..with lots of nice restaurants, cliff top walks, a beautiful picturesque bay. The nearby town is a typical Spanish tourist town though. A Noddy Train regularly runs from the town along the coastline. There are several good supermarkets nearby. The site was almost full when we were there.

Blieben 5 Nächte, sehr gepflegter Platz. Schattige, schöne Plätze. Sehr netter Empfang. Tolle Bucht unterhalb des Platzes (Schnorcheln!), sehr schöner Pool mit Liegewiese. Weg zu Sandstrand (Cala Montgo) etwas weiter, ca. 10 Minuten. Sanitär ok, Babybad könnte gepflegter sein. Schöner Wanderweg entlang Küste direkt ab Campingplatz. Bimmelbahn fährt nach L´Escala.

Third visit. Love the area and this site. Having been before one can get a bit picky and tend to compare with previous years. Reception staff have always been excellent however we have problems pre booking a pitch which when we turned up had been reallocated, no apology given just a shrug. Entering the site the barrier closed on both car and then caravan. Had to move pitch after one night to get closer to our friends. Most pitches are fine although several have big trees centrally located and others are soft sand meaning regular tow outs with the resident tractor, so select your pitch carefully as not all reception staff know which are sandy or have trees! Since our previous visit the regularity of cleaning of facilities has reduced but they are still well kept. The site staff start work early and talk loudly to each other and the ‘leaf blower’ starts early meaning no lay ins! The local shops are excellent and the beach is as stunning as ever with warm seas. Cycling in the area has always been good but signage and track quality seems to have improved significantly. We will definitely return.

Es ist ein wunderschön gelegener Campingplatz. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich. Wir konnten uns einen Platz aussuchen. Auf der oberen Seite, auf den Terassen, teilweise sehr schräge Plätze. Ein gutes Restaurant und ein kleiner Supermarkt sind vorhanden. Vom oberen Pool hat man eine spektakuläre Aussicht auf die Bucht in Richtung Roses. Uns hat es hier sehr gut gefallen, sodas wir bestimmt wiederkommen.

Excellent site that lives up to its good reviews. Very pleasant camping pitches with a choice of terraced or flat depending on which side of the road you camp. Very conscientious staff both on the gate, reception and maintenance staff. The shower block was spotless and unusually there were toilet seats, toilet paper and soap. Very relaxing place with easy access to a cove beach where there are seven restaurants and a supermarket. Easy access on cliff walk to the town. Would highly recommend.

What a cracking site. so near to the sea and a sandy cove with great bars and food opportunities. The cliff walk to l\'Escala is so picturesque and the tourist train to Empuries is spot on. So much to do there. We shall have to return.

arrived to a lovely welcome. spoke great English at reception. pitches sandy and a tad small. other guests seem to use all Thier alotted space and then park Thier car on the road way making it hard for you to get onto and out of your pitch. tolets and showers spotless. we stayed two nights. and this site is on our list to return to. beach bay is to die for. only disappointing thing is the heated!!! pool. it\'s colder then I would like.

Lovely clean site with large ,flat plots on hard sandy ground. Our plot was 8 x 10m which was fine flour 8m+ motorhome. The lady on reception speaks 6 languages. Supermarket on site has excellent bakery,no fresh milk though. We planned to stay 4 nights and stayed 5. The laundry facilities are excellent, €5 for 50 min wash, with the detergent and softener inclination
included . Smaller pool open, but the large clifftop one was closed for the foreseeable future. Scooter trip, about 5 miles, to the Greco Roman ruins at Empuries, and then to St Marti, charming little hamlet a mile or so further.
