I had the pleasure of meeting several workers from this campsite and they all had something in common. Something that I consider primordial when choosing a campsite: they were great people and loved their work. It's a good sign if you're thinking of spending your holidays there, isn't it?

11 different styles of bungalow, with options adapted to people with reduced mobility and up to 61m2, located on the road that links Sant Pere Pescador with l'Escala... and which has a bicycle lane!

As if the 1.800m of beach that you can access from its facilities were not enough, you can get to Sant Martí d’Empúries and l'Escala in just over 5 minutes to enjoy one of the most spectacular Caminos de Ronda on the Costa Brava.

Ferran Blanco 08/06/2022

Fantastic experience: The best camping. Bungalows, spectacular. All very clean, quiet, new, many activities for kids. The spectacular beach. Ideal windsurfing and kate. We go every summer (over 20 years).

Berta Casanovas 06/06/2022

Fantastic experience: Spectacular campsite. All plots are close to the beach. Large supermarket with everything you need. The pool is great for both adults and children. Small camping area, but with large plots. A little pricey, but worth it. It's hard to book for the summer months because it's always crowded. You have to be on time.

Michael Hahl 06/06/2022

Fantastic experience: Very modern and great CP. Large leisure activities. Very nice beach. Prices fit the performance.

A. 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: A quiet, beautiful campsite. Clean and well structured. Plots large but very few shady places. State-of-the-art wash houses. Rain showers work digitally. A real shower experience! Shops and various restaurants and bars on the square. Daily evening program for young and old. You don't necessarily have to leave the place for purchases etc., everything you need is offered to you. We were also enthusiastic about the fitness studio and its offers right on the beach in the fresh air. Motivated trainers and nice employees, gladly again.

Kaskats Kaskats 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Nice camping, nice bungalows, they don't lack anything, all kinds. I do not know in the middle of summer but outside of high season very well. Friendly and helpful staff

Carl de Kok 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Top

Karen Blenkharn 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities. Right next to beach. Two pools, great pitches. Lots of entertainment. Good for couples and families.

Jürgen Werum 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Great campsite. We were there in the off-season and had a lot of fun. Sanitary buildings are very well maintained and since the square is narrow and long you never have to go far to the beach

yvon kuypers 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Very nice neat campsite. Beautiful sanitary facilities. Everything is available for dogs. Close to beach. Nice town to cycle to. Only the price is very high for Spain.

Denise Garcia 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: A very nice campsite. There is a lot to do for our daughters aged 11, 12 and 5. As a family we enjoy working out together in the gym, swimming in the pool or the sea and having a nice meal on the terrace or at another restaurant on the campsite. Furthermore, for us adults there are many sports activities and of course the beach bar and the cocktail bar

Ralf Ruben 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: A very nice campsite. This is our third time here. Very large parking spaces, a supermarket with a large selection right on the square and a very nice sandy beach. All in all, I can only recommend the place. We will be back definitely.

Benjamin Mansion 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: After 15 years there, this campsite has evolved a lot, with both good and bad. Positive: you hardly have to leave the campsite except to visit the surrounding towns, there is a self service, a rotisserie, a nightclub, a supermarket, swimming pools, a mini club for children, the beach. located at 50metre with fine sand, clear water, public marble shower, the ideal position of the campsite to visit the different places of the Costa Brava and much more. Negative: the price remains expensive despite all the qualities of the place, a place which over time becomes a bit too much for wealthy people.

Chris Z 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: It was definitely our best “glamping” holiday in a bungalow so far. We immediately reserved for the coming year. A great beach and right next to it a well-kept pool area with salt water pools. A supermarket with normal prices (no rip-off as in other places) and a nice and motivated animation team made our family a wonderful holiday possible. The staff are friendly and committed! A message (dishwasher did not run properly) was complied with within 30 minutes. Two hours later another employee even came by and asked if everything was working again.

Isabelle Chimirri 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Always so clean place. Impeccable sanitary facilities. Magnificent swimming pool. Great location. Ideal for motorhomes. Multiple services in the campsite. Attention affordable price out of season. Address to remember.

Oguen Goerak 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: A long time ago. But it was a very nice holiday here at the La Ballena Alegre campsite. From the tent straight into the sea. That was great.

Bea Lopez Peiteado 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Very large, but being divided into zones makes it cozy. Each "neighborhood" has its own pool, in addition to the common ones. Next to the beach. The bungalows are very large and well distributed, each room has its own bathroom.

Jaume Marin 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Ideal campsite for families. It has different types of bungalows and plots. the bungalows are very well equipped. There are even with renewable and self-sufficient energy. They have swimming pools for each type of bungalows and also central swimming pools. It has sports services such as kite surfing, windsurfing and sailing school. There is also paddle tennis and tennis. It has a well-equipped beach front gym with a good calendar of activities. There is a calendar of activities divided by age. In catering there is a pizzeria, a rice cooker, a self service and a take away. It has a beach bar and a spectacular chill out to watch the sunset. The Spa is highly recommended. The beach is immense ideal for families as the water does not cover. There are bikes for rent, and a good supermarket, with a cellar next door.

gerard daussogne 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: The campsite is very clean, lots of entertainment. The bungalows are well equipped ....... Superb vacation since 1993! Every year there are novelties at the campsite.

SUA 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: The campsite is 10. Constant cleaning, I did not see a full container on any day at any time of the day, always clean. Bungalows Empuries: Very good, they are the cheapest and we were very very good, they have two swimming pools, 15 minutes from the GIM, 6 minutes from reception and large pools, 2 minutes from the Oasis bar.In Empuries there is the option of having breakfast at La Farm, it was next to our bungalow. Cons: GIM bad, the situation in front of the sea incredible but the rusty machines, few and in poor condition in general. It is not a 5-star gym. This should be improved. There are classes and yoga near the pool There is entertainment, two restaurants, a pub, a chill out bar from 8pm to midnight, tennis, paddle tennis, a children's play area, kite surfing, a shop ... I would go back to the camping area Pets

Markus Knott 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place, large but elongated, so the ways to the beach are short. For everyone who wants to drive more than 1000 km from Germany, we don't regret a kilometer !!!

Mary Lou Leckie 08/05/2022

Fantastic experience: Super campsite to spend your holiday and relax. Clean and tidy facilities. Baths are cleaned daily. What is very disappointing is the price for the quality of the food at the pool. Also in the restaurants, the main courses resemble starters in quantity but you pay the full price. The campsite is definitely recommended. This year we had booked a bungalow Empuries and next year again with the ⛺Hasta luego

Daniel Navarro Olmo 08/03/2022

Fantastic experience: Spectacular campsite!!! Huge pitches!! The staff that work there are phenomenal!! Impeccable toilets!! Very nice pools! And if you coincide being in that campsite with the Volkswagen van event, you'll be amazed! Recommended 100%100!!!

Juan Mir 08/11/2021

Fantastic experience: ..nice..clean..and beautiful ace..

Christian Ecija 08/11/2021

Fantastic experience: It has been a very pleasant stay. The campsite is very good despite having already some services closed because it is low season, but in general everything is very good. Facilities in good condition and well maintained, the bungalows, specifically the Devesa, exceptional; although we have taken the opportunity to look at others for future stays and they are all very well. The fantastic setting. Honestly, to repeat. I want to specifically congratulate and highlight Tomas, a staff worker, for his great service and kindness. In every moment that we have needed something and he has taken care of us, his vocation and dedication is more than outstanding. We had a small problem on our arrival that was solved quickly and Tomas helped us at all times and even after being well settled, he returned to see if we needed anything and if we were comfortable. A very attentive person who really cares about the client's well-being.

Elvira MORILLA MARQUEZ 08/11/2021

Fantastic experience: Camping with very good facilities with amazing pools and also on the beachfront. What more can you ask for?

Edgar Cubiña 08/11/2021

Fantastic experience: We spent three great days in a bungalow. For us it was a new experience and the truth is that we will repeat without a doubt. Pleasant atmosphere, unbeatable location and a culture of quality in all aspects, both operational and at the infrastructure level.

Sheila Prieto 15/09/2021

Fantastic experience: Super super cool! We're back next summer ❤️
Translated from Spanish

Frank Kostka 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: If there were more stars I would definitely give more. So there are 5 stars and 3 +++ signs. A place with all amenities. You can't even list everything. The pool is a dream. To the poll shops. The beach was just great. A very friendly and accommodating staff. Booked again immediately for 2022. A small downer is the water connection on each plot. You have to plug an adapter into your hose (available at reception) and then put it into the water connection with a lot of force. Parcel size up to 120 square meters.

X S 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Camping in front of the sea, with very complete bungalows (it lacks a maintenance point x outside), spacious and clean places, and without feeling that there are too many people. Ideal x families and x lovers of water sports

Thorsten Reimnitz 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Large camping and bungalow park right by the sea. The park is very modern, has shops, restaurants and a pool. Each place is equipped with its own water connection in addition to the power connection. You can go sailing, surfing and kiting on the beach, and the park also has a diving center. There is entertainment for children, and for adults there are activities such as yoga and pool sports.

FFM Hotbox Freeystle Kingz 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, only the private doctor sucks. She complained about germans being unpolite and threw us out. We wouldnt had get our flight back if the Camping Leader woulndt Had gone and told her to serve us

Aaron Klos 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: The facilities are very spacious and clean. Sanitary facilities are cleaned 24/7 and are in perfect condition. For the most part, the staff is young, friendly and speaks most of the surrounding languages. The price is of course not without in the high season, if you want to save, the low seasons are recommended. Then you only pay a fraction. The sea is always within walking distance and if you are too lazy, you can also go there with an e-scooter or something similar.

Pilar Ferrandiz 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Wonderful camping. Clean, well cared for, quiet and situated in a beautiful place. We were in a camper and with a dog, everything was great. The plot is very large. Very friendly staff. Although it is somewhat expensive, the quality deserves it.

Sopalexsus Sopalexsus31 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: The camping is incredible. A 10 for facilities, staff, cleanliness, tranquility. If you have to put a problem, it is the water intake, which is very impractical, since it is not the usual system and it is not comfortable at all. For everything else, SPECTACULAR !!! We repeat seguri.

Isidoro Pérez Ramirez 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: A top quality campsite, some spectacular pitches, some beautiful and super clean toilets, I just put a but and it is its pool, everything and that they have renovated it, I find it small for when the campsite is full, despite that everything else is luxury, we will be back soon

Aneta Marcinkowska 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: This place is just amazing. We rented a basic cabin that had more that you need (even Nespresso). So many pools with 2 big ones in the common area, and they worm up water. You have access to the private beach. What was the most surprising was the service: they are eco friendly, they care about waste and its recycling. They let you to do the late check out without extra charge if they now that there's nobody after your. The prices for renting a Empurdie was really good. You have your private garden, a porch, and even a private parking for our car just next to your bugalow (soooo useful). You will get a welcome coffee capsules (of course eco) and towels for the beach without extra costs. You won't see amazing aquapark like in the Delfine Verde but comparing the price with quality - i'm still in shock - fascinating. You can finally feel relaxed in this place. And in addition you can go to Spa that they offer for 18€ 60 min (and following covid restriction - we got all spa for me and my mom only). A woman who works there talks in Spanish, Catalan, French, English and German. Very nice place. And area around is just amazing. It's worth to go there!

SMH 08/08/2021

Fantastic experience: Very good facilities and friendly staff. The children's activities of the Maxi Club and the entertainers: SPECTACULAR, to be highlighted: FLAVIO, super professional, dedicated and charming, a cane his Zumba and fitness classes, very well worked, motivates a lot. The Beach Box Gym: EXCELLENT, it is a real pleasure to train with views of the beach, the coaches (Juan and Amy) are very good, they control all disciplines, definitely very professional. We have been very comfortable, to repeat without hesitation.

Damien Harris 08/07/2021

Fantastic experience: Great camping with a diverse range of bungalows from basic to 5 stars. Friendly staff but the food at the the facilities we tested was very limited. Best to cook or leave the grounds for a decent meal.

Neus Balta 08/07/2021

Fantastic experience: Exceptional campsite, the facilities of the site are very good and accessible to everyone. The service staff are friendly and trying to help you at any time. Thank you for your sting

LILY MIER 08/07/2021

Fantastic experience: One of the best campsites we have visited. Walk to a spectacular beach that allows dogs, a beautiful pool and a great staff. The facilities are very neat and clean. Huge and very comfortable pitches. On the day of departure we were able to stay until the afternoon at no additional cost. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.

Joan Ballell 08/07/2021

Fantastic experience: Excellent bungalows on the beach

Cristina Álvarez 08/07/2021

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Super clean and unbeatable facilities. The plots are very spacious, made of grass and separated from each other by bushes. They have a power outlet and water. It has direct access to the beach. On the day of departure they offered us to stay until the afternoon without paying extra.

Fantastic experience: Good place and everything very clean!

Andres Alamos 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: The campsite is a first-class resort that has bungalows and pitches, from the first line of the beach. In the cabins the essence of the campsite is respected in harmony with nature, and very well equipped. The staff was super attentive from the first phone contact to check out. Special greetings to Maria and thanks for everything. We will be back soon

Gino Eising 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here since I was six for great windsurfing and relaxing. The beach is clean, the water is easy to get in with the sail and board. Washing house is cleaned thoroughly multiple times a day and are very comfortable. The staff has always been very nice and well instructed. Around 14u there is a big chance of the thermic wind picking up to 12-18 knots. I usually avoid the high season because of the large amount of poeple. Swimming pool has been upgraded to a astonishing naturally looking pool. I always look forward in coming back.

Uladzimir Martynovich 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: Super

Markus Schroll 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beaches. Nice and clean homes and camping! Friendly personal.

Marta Grzadziel 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: The campsite is superbly situated. Direct access to the beach throughout the campsite. Restaurants and bars inside and directly on the beach. Two clubs where you can rent equipment or sign up for a windsurfing, kite or sailing course. Additionally, the possibility of courses or diving. The campsite itself is very well-kept, various swimming pools, various internal stores where you will find everything you need if you forgot something. We were in the mobilehome, they are divided into groups by type. Each type of cottage has its own garden / shared square and swimming pool. A truly unique place and nothing is missing here. I highly recommend.

Louise Sonnenberg 08/06/2021

Fantastic experience: Very good campsite. Clean sanitary facilities, you have a perfect shower and there is even a building for the children with a baby bath. Mini club very nice also for 10+ Children especially enjoy surfing, which is on Sundays and you can surf for free at the campsite. Swimming pool is fun for young and old and you are right on the beach. We also highly recommend aqua gym in the pool. Enough shops and they do a lot to stay ahead of corona. Every time at the mini club, hand alcohol also with the children and they wear mouth masks.

Xavi Segura 08/06/2020

Fantastic experience: It is the first year we go there but for sure will not be the last. We were at one Xaloc bungalow, and it was all just perfect. Great location, swimming pool, beach, bungalow itself, perfect for families with children. For us, it was Paradise on earth.

Fantastic experience: A great experience! I had great fun with my family and friends here, there's just so much to do there you can go sailing or kite surfing or just laying on the beach whilst your kids are at a art club just next door doing different things everyday! The shop has everything you need and the bar by the beach has stunning views in the evening at the top part of the bar where there's a restaurant with quality food.
