Camping Les Criques de Porteils
Perched on a cliff with sweeping Mediterranean views, this five-star camping resort offers a truly spectacular seaside escape between Argèles Sur Mer and the historic town of Collioure. The terraced pitches, many with panoramic ocean vistas, let guests soak in the beauty of the Natura 2000 protected landscape. Upon arrival, a helpful buggy tour allows visitors to select their own spot, whether facing the sea or sheltered on the mountain side. The staff are consistently praised for their friendliness, multilingual skills, and willingness to assist, from arranging taxis to handling repairs. A well-stocked shop provides fresh bread and pastries daily, while the restaurant serves quality meals on a terrace overlooking the water, and takeaway pizza is available for relaxed pitch-side dining. Cleanliness is a strong point throughout, with sanitary facilities kept spotless and cleaned multiple times daily, though some fixtures appear a bit dated for a five-star rating. The heated sanitary block includes a clean washing-up area, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped with abundant plants and flowers maintained by daily gardening. A private pebble beach offers direct sea access for swimming and snorkeling, and a coastal path leads to Collioure in about 30 minutes. The resort features a swimming pool with comfortable loungers, sports courts for tennis and padel, and a nautical center renting kayaks and catamarans. Weekly Thursday barbecues add a convivial social element, and the atmosphere remains lively yet calm, especially in September. Dogs are welcome, with direct hiking trails from the campsite, and the site is an excellent base for cycling and walking excursions. Some seaside pitches lack shade and can be windy, which may cause discomfort on blustery days. The swimming pool is considered small for the campsite's size, and the jacuzzi is not heated, a drawback in cooler months. A few guests have noted dusty pitches or pigeon droppings under trees, and access to some coves has been blocked. Despite these minor issues, the campsite offers great value, especially with the ACSI discount, and many visitors return year after year.
