Perched just 50 meters from the Mediterranean, this campsite offers unbeatable beach access via a clever tunnel under the coastal road, making it a prime spot for seaside holidays. Yet, beneath its sunny exterior lies a tale of two campsites—one that once charmed with spacious pitches and friendly service, and another that now prioritizes chalet development over traditional camping. Recent years have seen a dramatic shift: static lodges have mushroomed, squeezing touring caravans into smaller, tighter spaces and leaving many campers feeling like second-class guests. The staff, however, remain a consistent bright spot, often described as exceptionally friendly, smiling, and helpful, even when the facilities let them down. Sanitary blocks tell a frustrating story—old, tired, and often dirty, with one large building permanently closed and the remaining one plagued by mildew, broken tiles, and loose toilet seats. Cleanliness is a recurring complaint, with overflowing compost bins attracting flies and even rats near reception, creating an unpleasant welcome. Despite upgrades like modern dishwashing areas and reliable hot water, the overall maintenance lags, leaving roads potholed and terrain dimly lit at night. The on-site shop, now located outside the gates, mainly serves lodge guests, while a roadside restaurant offers decent meals but little atmosphere. Wi-Fi is rarely free and often unreliable, with staff suggesting a pitch move as the fix. For those seeking tranquility, note that in high season an open-air disco booms until 3 am, though the site enjoys peaceful nights outside peak periods. The comfort pitches remain spacious and sun-drenched, ideal for autumn stays, while basic pitches near the main road can feel tight and less private. Shade is abundant under a canopy of trees, appreciated in summer but limiting sunlight and TV reception. Access is a challenge—narrow entrances and cramped roads test drivers of larger motorhomes, and the 6-amp electricity supply sometimes falls short. Value for money draws sharp criticism, with guests feeling prices are excessive for what’s offered, especially with extra fees for oversized vehicles, pets, and weekend stays. The beach itself, while close, has mixed reviews—some find it messy with wood debris, others enjoy its charms. Local cycling routes connect to nearby towns, and a bus stop is handy for those without a car, though public transport is unreliable. Hiking trails beckon from the doorstep, and bicycles are available for rent. The laundry room with washers and dryers is a practical plus. Loyal returning guests still rave about the location’s tranquility and community feel, but newcomers often leave disappointed, declaring it far from a camper’s paradise. The owner’s perceived indifference and the site’s transition to a chalet-heavy model cast a long shadow over what was once a beloved spot.
