This beachside campsite enjoys a fantastic location directly on the shore, making guests feel as though they are on the sand itself. The sea views are stunning, and direct beach access is a major draw for visitors. The site is particularly welcoming for dogs, with dedicated pitches that are roomy and separated by hedges for privacy. Dog owners appreciate the waste bins, dog showers, and even a small shop selling pet supplies. Pitches throughout the campsite are generously sized and well-maintained, often separated by hedges for added privacy. Many pitches also come with fresh and waste water connections. Sanitary facilities are consistently described as spotless, modern, and spacious, with attendants cleaning them multiple times daily. The staff receives glowing praise for being exceptionally friendly, helpful, and attentive, making guests feel welcome and well cared for. On-site amenities include a well-stocked supermarket, a fruit shop, and a wine merchant with an extensive selection. Fresh bread is available from morning until evening. The campsite has multiple swimming pools with plenty of lounging space, offering a clean and enjoyable alternative to the sea. Sports activities are varied, with classes available throughout the day. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, especially in the post-season when the beach is nearly empty. Many families return year after year, and children grow up visiting this second home. The neighborhood is beautiful and dotted with charming small towns and local restaurants. However, the on-site restaurant has received sharp criticism for poor quality, with reports of frozen lasagna served cold and inedible breaded cutlets. Getting to nearby towns and restaurants requires either a lengthy walk or a short drive, as bicycle paths are absent. The Wi-Fi can feel deliberately disrupted, though a router rental via Ethernet cable provides a reliable alternative. A serious hygiene issue was reported with sewage backups in the toilet building, making it extremely unhygienic. Overall, this is a top-tier destination on the Costa Brava, combining natural beauty with top-notch amenities and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.
