Muy buena ubicación. Lo único malo que las duchas son oscuras y tienen poca presión. Hay diferencia entre unas parcelas y otras, pero si hay sitio te dejan cambiarte sin problema.

Me encantó la estancia en este Camping, probé las casitas que tienen de Kampaoh y fue una maravilla.
No necesitas llevar nada, lo tienen todo perfectamente equipado.
Las vistas una maravilla y por no hablar de lo bonita que es esa zona. Tengo claro que volveré este verano.

Lo bueno su ubicación, todo lo demás deja mucho que desear. Duchas oscuras y sin agua caliente.
Como recomendación de persona que se hospedó en la Kampaoh número 6. Si la puerta de tu tienda va a ser una clase de Yoga de 9-10h se podría avisar de la ubicación. Quizá el cliente se hace otros planes para la mañana.
El bar/restaurante muy bien.

La verdad que alucino con algunos comentarios. Venimos a este camping con nuestra autocaravana desde hace unos años porque nos encanta Calella de Palafrugell. Por suerte tenemos en Calella un sitio cómo este que nos ofrece un espacio en una ubicación inmejorable, en un paraje natural, un camping familiar, amable y tolerante que no ofrece lujos, cierto, pero que sólo dónde está y por el buen precio que ofrecen ya es todo un lujo. Señores los que quieran resorts para no salir del camping este no es su lugar, dejen sitio libre para los que aman está zona y la naturaleza que ofrece. Gracias Moby Dick por muchos años más y lo que se tenga que mejorar estoy segura que lo haréis.

Fuí con mi hija para pasar 3 noches con tienda y al final fueron 4!
Tuvimos la suerte de que nuestra parcela estuviera libre en pleno 15 de agosto!
Hormigas? Creo que alguna queda en mi coche todavía!!! Pero a ver, estamos en un bosque, no en un edificio en un décimo piso… un poco de repelente y listo!
Nuestros vecinos, un encanto!
La piscina pequeña? Si tienes la playa espectacular a 3 minutos en serio preferimos la piscina?
El personal de recepción y mantenimiento total amabilidad y empatía
Volveré seguro y ojalá pueda hacerlo por temporada

Genial. Nos ha gustado mucho. Hemos estado este fin de semana para bucear en un centro cercano. La ubicación es ideal para lo que hemos venido a hacer. Menos de 5 minutos de la furgo al Poseidon Diving.
Las instalaciones muy bien, plazas justitas de espacio pero bien. Caminos de acceso a las plazas algo estrechos, pero con buena voluntad, cruzarse unos y otros es fácil.
El personal super atento y muy amables. Su predisposición para ayudarte es máxima.

Positive experience:
We stayed in a tipi at Acampale. The campsite was located in a quiet area and close to the center. The tipi was a good size and furnished with the essentials. The bathrooms and showers were good and nearby. The reception staff helped us, and when we needed to ask for another set of sheets, they provided it. There was a campsite pool for us to relax in, which was nice. We requested a tipi with a double bed and a sofa bed, we expected the sofa to be set up or at least they would provide us with a set in case we used the sofa, which was the case, but later they gave us a set to use. For better lighting of the outdoor space, and considering that the tipi we were in required us to jump like a wall, I would add a small outdoor light, we only had one light inside. We had quite a few ants, but that's normal, we were surrounded by nature.

Positive experience:
It's a camping site very well located, 200m from the village, the bathrooms are clean but outdated, access to the plots is a bit difficult, a lot of shade, quiet at night... they only give a 10% discount on ACSI cards... The little time we spent, we were quite quiet.

Positive experience:
We stayed at Kampaoh and were very happy, from our plot we could see the sea. The truth is that the showers are a bit scary, but there is hot and cold water that you can regulate. From our plot to the bathrooms we had to be careful because there were potholes in the ground that we had to dodge. It is dangerous, anyone could trip and hurt themselves, plus it is ground with small stones. There should be signage along the road to guide you, we got lost on the first day. The ant infestation is real, but there is nothing you can do, it's a campsite and it's quite normal to have all kinds of bugs and insects. We bought a device to plug in the tent and we no longer had mosquitoes or ants.

Beautiful and natural place. Close to the most beautiful coves of the Costa Brava. Very helpful and attentive staff.

Positive experience:
It's well located, it was great... Until I lost my swimsuit in the showers and they never responded, they left me on read and I could never recover it. I know someone might have taken it, but I asked the camping staff for help and they barely managed to assist. When I inquired, they left me on read without a response.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We stayed in the Kampaho area, it did not meet 100% of our expectations as we were looking for something quieter and less family-oriented. Nevertheless, the facilities were in good condition, clean and well-maintained but with the water and restroom points quite far away. The pool was small and located in the middle of a parking lot.
Translated from Spanish
Thank you for your visit, we appreciate your opinion, good afternoon.
Positive experience:
Overall uncomfortable camping, old, on some concrete step I thought I saw it said 1969, but you can see it's slowly getting renovated. On the hillside with a lot of slope in general, it's not suitable for the little ones to roam around with their bikes, they would get more exercise than Valverde. The truth is that returning from the beach to some of the higher plots is a bit of a hassle. Depending on the plot, you can see the sea, but grass only appears in the pool shower. A large campervan has complicated access to many plots. If two cross paths in some sections, there’s no way to pull over. The access to the gray water dumping area has a huge slope, and the black water one has a hole in the ground. Showers and sinks without light at night, people went in with flashlights to shower, and the washing was assumed to be clean, it doesn't cost much to put a couple of lamps over them. Showers with cold water depending on peak hours, other times very hot and suddenly very cold. Regarding glamping, the bathrooms downstairs were better than those upstairs, still with cold water depending on the hour. However, bathrooms and showers were quite clean, being cleaned continuously during the morning. We also suffered with ants, but curiously days before they had offered to fumigate the area, something we declined, after all, you're in the mountain and it can happen. The pool is okay, but it lacks maintenance, quite a bit, edges with inappropriate metal and some small edges and the enclosure itself acts as a roundabout for the sand parking lot, so as you exit you get your feet all sandy. On the way to the beach, there’s a supermarket that opens from 8 to 10 every day, super practical. It saves the situation it's in, just five minutes from one of the prettiest spots on the Costa Brava, with beautiful little coves. Just for that, it compensates for everything before and I think I would return.
Translated from Spanish
Starting from the beginning, it is true that it is an old campsite but, as you yourself commented, it is evident that it is being renovated and modernized. Regarding the steepness of the campsite, it is worth noting that it is not designed for children to ride their bikes up and down here; for that, they have numerous routes to explore the area, which we provide at the reception without any complication. The issue of the grass is true that this year there isn't much, the drought has severely affected us and it is reflected in all the vegetation of the campsite.
On the other hand, we appreciate that you recognized our strict cleaning service and the option we offered you to fumigate your plot, even though you did not accept it.
Thank you very much for your visit, we look forward to your next visit!
Positive experience:
The camping is good, but there are too many ants everywhere; they need to do something because I took them even into the car, in the suitcases. The only good thing is that it is in a privileged location, close to the sea. The camping where we stayed had a dirty floor, an entrance carpet too, and it gets hot, even with the fan.
Translated from Spanish
Thank you very much for the comment, and we hope you had a good stay at the campsite.
Positive experience:
We have spent 4 days on vacation with family in one of the bungalows and, in general, we really liked the campsite. Small, well-located, quiet, respectful... To put a 'but', not as a criticism of the campsite, but rather to improve in the future, the bungalow seemed a bit neglected. There were many cobwebs, the light was very poor, we had the Wi-Fi antenna right in front of the door, the terrace umbrella was broken, and the drainer had a hole. Other than that, everything was great, we would repeat without a problem.
Translated from Spanish
Thank you very much for your visit and we hope you come again.
Positive experience:
The location is great if you want an urban environment. The plots are not well maintained and lack shade. There are points for electricity and water, but several days we were cut off, which implies (fridge, phone charging...). There is a small pool in the middle of the parking lot, not very appealing. The facilities (toilets, sinks, and showers) are terrible. Little cleanliness, only some work, and the water supply is very inconsistent, since when you were lucky to have water, it was a trickle with low pressure. The bar food is good, the service could improve a lot.
Translated from Spanish
Sobre el tema del agua, en los últimos días (debido a la sequía en todo el territorio catalán) hemos sufrido algunos problemas de presión en las duchas, pero cabe decir que no es un problema que provenga del camping, sino que todo el pueblo de Calella de Palafrugell ha pasado por las mismas circunstancias.
De nuevo, gracias por el comentario y tomaremos nota de ello. Hasta la próxima.

Camping located in an unbeatable area, with sea views if you are positioned at the top of the campsite. Large plots of all types. Very modern facilities and showers. A place to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Positive experience:
Es un camping relativamente pequeño pero muy bien situado y cerca de la playa. Las piscinas son pequeñas y apenas hay zona de césped y tumbonas. No hay parasoles. Está poco cuidado. Las zonas comunes de aseos y duchas podían estar algo más limpias y actualizadas. La tienda que alquilamos era muy cuqui. Con un buen colchón para dormir y también con ventilador, enchufes, menaje de cocina, colgador, espejo y luego un par de sillas y mesa en la entrada. Muy completo. El camping está bien pero el bar abre a las 9h y si quieres tomar café o desayunar antes tienes que buscar otro lugar. Ya sólo por la magnífica ubicación merece la pena.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The camping has exceeded my expectations after reading all the comments (thinking it's a camping site). Notably, the showers are unisex, which is very practical if you have a baby and the father helps you. To nitpick, the reception staff could be a bit friendlier, but it's understandable that they are stressed during peak season. The camping has a very good location, close to beautiful beaches and restaurants.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The best thing about the camping is the location and that they allow pets. But even understanding that it's a natural setting, they have a problem with ants. I've been out of the camping for a week and real colonies of ants are still coming out of my motorhome. I can't imagine what it must be like inside the tents.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The reception staff recommended the best shaded plot without us having to ask, which saved us that boring time of visiting plots. We stayed for two nights, so we were able to confirm that they gave us the best one available at that moment. The bathrooms and common areas were well maintained and clean. The only thing that disappointed me a bit was the pool, which was quite small and crowded; although it did cover, it seemed more like a children's pool. There is no room to make two strokes. The quality-price ratio... I am used to paying less for the same services.

Positive experience:
We have repeated for the second consecutive year and there have been lights and shadows.
Lights: The bathroom is renovated and the pool is still perfect. Also, the food at the restaurant is very good. As always, perfect location.
Shadows: We had to change the plot we had taken due to its poor maintenance, with weeds over a meter tall. And finally, the security guy at night almost didn't let us pass because we weren't on his list.
I have the feeling that little by little the plots will disappear to make way for glamping... And it's a shame.

The receptionist was very attentive and friendly. We have been in the tipi stores and the whole experience was great, it is very beautiful, comfortable and clean. The only thing I would say is that if there is no shade, during the day it heats up and from 8 AM to 6 PM it is impossible to be inside.

Very well located. Very friendly staff. It has sloping pitches, a rather outdated restroom area, and a bar with a terrace. The pitches are not bad, but they took away our parking spot and we had to leave the car elsewhere. We stayed a couple of nights. It's a bit expensive for what they offer.

Camping Moby Dick
Positive experience:
I stayed for a week in August, I will comment on some positive and negative aspects. It is a campsite with more pitches for motorhomes than for tents.
POSITIVES:
-The campsite is very quiet, family-friendly and with the beach just a few minutes away.
-The staff's attention is kind and attentive.
-It has a restaurant and a pool.
-Many shaded areas.
-It is a very spacious campsite.
-The clean showers work with a button.
-Affordable price.
-The campsite is located in the middle of the village, so it is close to a supermarket.
-The campsite has laundry facilities for clothes and dishes. Very practical.
NEGATIVES:
-The pitch where we were placed was intended for caravans and not for tents, and the ground is very hard to drive the tent pegs into.
-The restaurant could perhaps use better waiters.
-We plugged in a 2000W iron and the fuses blew, they changed the socket and it blew again with the intensity at less than half; conclusion, we were left without dinner for the meal we had planned. The next day, they came to 'repair' it while we were at the beach; we returned and there was still no power. Don't take electric irons for cooking, they don't have enough energy.
-Not all pitches have electricity connections.
-The waste is sorted by categories, but they do not accept closed bags; you have to put the waste in one by one into a container inside a wooden casing with a slit.
-The campsite is divided by a road, keep this in mind if they place you near it.
-We saw many ants in the pitches and some areas of the bathrooms.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We stayed for 24 hours, on July 13, 2022, with a motorhome measuring 8.20m long and 3.20m high. The location of the campsite is unbeatable, close to the center and coves. Shaded pitches! If you are not going to live the camping life, it's best to get a spot near the entrance (make a reservation), otherwise, the slope is noticeable. Complicated access to the site for water changes of the RV, narrow and uphill with a curve. Small pool but ideal.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The camping is very well located near the sea. The plots are a good size, although many have a bit of a slope, and if you're going with a tent, it's complex to sleep well. There's no supermarket, but nowhere does it say they have one. The worst part, and I’ve been coming here for 10 years in the summers, are the showers, which as far as I remember they haven't fixed. Some have little water or some none at all, and getting hot water is a matter of luck. This summer I ended up taking a basin to the shower to keep filling it and be able to rinse off. Still, I think I will continue coming while waiting for them to fix the showers.

We have been here for 4 days. The plots are a good size, but they are very sandy and very close to each other. The issue with ants is horrible, no matter how much you throw away the trash, clean, etc., everything gets filled with ants; they should try to control this issue. The pool is small, well, tiny. Other than that, it's quite peaceful and very well-connected near supermarkets and beaches.

The best thing about the camping is the location, very close to the beach and the center of Calella. The restaurant serves good food, although the staff is a bit slow. The camping is not well maintained and the facilities are very old. At night, you can hear the music from a nearby nightclub.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Camping located in the village of Calella de Palafrugell, just a few meters from the beach and supermarkets and restaurants. It has everything you need for a few days (bar, services, showers, sinks, pool...) I would highlight the good location near the village and the beach and the quite competitive price. The staff were friendly and helped us with everything. The bar staff were friendly too but quite slow. On the other hand, we didn't really like the layout of the camping, plots, quality of the facilities... It had a 'shabby' air. The pool is quite small. And it is located near an outdoor nightclub, so you could hear the music all night long. We didn't find the image that is sold on social media of this camping.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We have been to this campsite several times and we are very comfortable and happy, both with the service received and the comfort of the campsite. It is true that as a point for improvement we would say that the pool could be cleaner and they could fumigate more, as there is always the problem of ants. In any case, we will continue going because it is worth it.

Positive experience:
Good camping at an affordable price. The best part is the service, the location is really close to the village and the beach, they allow dogs, and the price. The worst part is the plot of land we got (although there are grassy plots, most are not) that gets everything dirty with dust, that there are no trash bins inside the camping, and -although this does not depend on the camping itself- the little covid control among campers, they do not wear masks at any time, not even in crowded areas.

Positive experience:
Camping in Calella Palafrugell in the village and very close to the beach. This is undoubtedly the best. The price is quite reasonable, considering the area. In my opinion, the worst: showers without hot water at the end of the afternoon and sinks only with cold water. They should consider renovating these services, which are what we value most if we go by car, caravan, camper or tent. It is very large, all on slopes and with many stairs, keep this in mind if we have reduced mobility. Lots of shade and views from the top to the sea. The pool, although small, looks new and the warm water is very pleasant. We liked it. Despite it being August, we didn't have many people around.

Fantastic experience:
I went with my boyfriend to a campsite pitch with electricity and we loved the experience and the camping. It is very well located in Calella de Palafrugell, near a Spar and the beautiful Calella beaches. It’s not a problem for me, but I want to mention that there is no washing sink at the pitch, only near the showers. Apart from this, the electricity at the pitch has low power and sometimes the lights go out if you connect sandwich makers or electric irons. The reception staff are very helpful and friendly and if you have this problem, you can go and let them know that you are going to cook so they can connect it directly for you to have more power.

We do not consider it necessary to have mops in the plots at the moment to keep them in good condition. We have water points in many plots for the convenience of the customers. We hope to see you again soon!

Land and leaf plots, with trees that create quite a mess. The light barely reaches the plots, so it’s better to bring a good extension cord apart from the one they provide. Pleasant staff. The bar does not give a good impression. There is a great supermarket 100 meters away. It’s not bad for spending a couple of nights and seeing the picturesque villages.

Positive experience:
The camping is not bad. It has quite a bit of shade. The pool is very small. It is close to the beach (although if you get the upper plots, which are actually the best... You have a nice little path to exit the camping)... I got cold water in the shower for 2 days... If you want to check out a little later on Sunday, they charge extra... As I said at the beginning... It's not bad, but in the area, there are some campings that are better for the same price.

Super quiet camping, well located, clean, friendly and competent service. Special mention to the restaurant, the well-prepared and delicious dishes are surprisingly affordable for everyone. I had some of the best fried eggs with potatoes I have ever tasted. To my surprise, they had truffle shavings in the eggs which gave it an exquisite touch, the potatoes freshly made. My friend's ribeye was tender, perfectly cooked, delicious, and seasoned with truffle salt that gave it a special touch. Great for all the senses. Highly recommended.

Beautiful campsite, peaceful and with spectacular shade. Very family-like treatment. It has a pool and the beach is very close

Fantastic experience:
The truth is that we were pleasantly surprised, a quiet camping with just the right services so that you don't lack for anything. The bathrooms are cleaned 2/3 times a day, so more than acceptable. The best part is the location and the treatment, especially from the receptionist who has been there for a short time but is a delight, and Marc. To offer a constructive criticism, for the last 2 days at first light there was no water in the bathrooms of the camping area (although it was resolved quickly). The bar/restaurant service could be improved and having some bins so that people with their dogs can throw away the bags and do not throw them in the first place they see (it is not the camping's problem, but the users'). But still, we will return. Thank you for everything.

We are Rubén and Claudia, we stayed with our motorhome on June 7 and 8 with the offer of €30 for two nights. A family camping site, quiet and pleasant, with multiple services (pool, laundry, water filling and emptying, showers...) and very close to the beach!!! It has been great to be able to escape to the beach and to be so comfortable in the current situation. Great service and highly recommendable, we hope to return!!

Well-located camping to visit Calella. Shaded plots, but some with difficult access. Small pool and old bathrooms, but very clean and complying with Covid regulations.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very cramped pitches, very good location of the campsite, correct services, there wasn't always hot water in the showers, there is a serious problem with ants, tremendous and very annoying. Friendly staff but not very helpful. Price-quality ratio can be improved. The residents are pleasant. Just enough shade. The campsite can improve a lot with little effort, recommended.

Positive experience:
Although the facilities are very old, it is very good for going by camper. Quiet spots five minutes from the center of Calella at the same price as any area for campers without services in the area.

Quiet camping and very integrated into nature, we went with a camper with an offer from Park4Night and we paid less than 80 for 2 days in August. Ideal for visiting the area of Calella de Palafrugell.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Camping very well located. Regarding the facilities, we stayed in a bungalow where Wi-Fi did not reach and ants were coming in through a poorly closed window: let's say it's not very new. The bungalow is for up to 5 people, but there were 3 of us and we were already feeling cramped with the little space, I wouldn’t recommend it if you are many. We had a problem and they fixed it right away.

Positive experience:
Its location is the best, just a few meters from the beach and with a supermarket very close. However, it is located on the hillside of a mountain - split by a road that is crossed by a tunnel - so the plots furthest from the entrance are at a high elevation (there's a lot of climbing to do). The AC area is almost at the top. As for facilities, they are old (the bathrooms) but clean.

Positive experience:
Although it is an old construction. The plots have quite a bit of shade. A bit small for a family of 5 with a large tent. Friendly service
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
We spent a weekend with a motorhome.
Pros:
- It’s cheap
- There is plenty of shade
- It has a pool, although it’s small, but it’s pretty new.
- It’s a 3-minute walk to the beach and a 7-minute walk to the town center.
Cons:
- It’s very simple and the facilities need an update.
- It’s a campsite with a lot of slope and several levels of stairs; if you get a pitch at the top, you can get tired going up.
- There are quite low trees that make maneuvering the motorhome complicated; it's not a spacious campsite.
Final rating: we would return, as it’s cheap and great if you want to visit the village. If you're looking for a resort-style campsite, this isn’t your campsite.

Amazing place, family-friendly for campers. Close to the beach, you can walk there; near restaurants, shops, supermarkets... you park the car when you arrive and you don't need to use it anymore... unless you want to move around the nearby towns. You just have to be prepared against the ants..

Very cozy camping site, with a well-kept aesthetic. Friendly staff, affordable price, and close to the beach.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The location and price are its strengths. The tranquility is also noticeable. But access to the reception, bar, and pool from the upper side is quite uncomfortable, as well as the showers.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
The location is great, you can walk to the beach. Quiet camping. About the ants, bring some insecticide or something because they are tiny but they invade you. Suggestion: the camping restaurant, in my opinion, if they lowered the prices a bit, more people would go. 2 coffees with milk and 2 croissants 7.30€, a soda 2.50€ and the menus the same.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
For location and price, it's worth going if what you're looking for is beach and tranquility. If you plan to stay all day at the campsite, it's not a good option because access to the plots is not very good, the plots are small, the pool is small (a puddle), they don't have a supermarket, etc. etc.

Cozy, quiet, clean camping, good service with the good work of its employees. Perfect for a few days of disconnection.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
There is a lack of delimiting plots and making more paths to avoid disturbing people when you try to reach your tent. There should be more outlets throughout the campsite. The pool is very small and there is no shade. The restrooms are very nice, they are large and clean, but the showers are a bit dirty and the hot water runs out very quickly. Aside from this, the campsite is very beautiful and has many trees, and there are parts that are very private. The price is also good. The atmosphere is very nice, there is little noise at night. The people are nice.

Very quiet campsite, different from everything I had visited before, if I had to point out a fault it would be that it rained in the evening and we lost power and after several attempts, we were without power until the next morning.

We were fine. No mosquitoes, a little bit of noise from the road. Almost no water in the showers and the pool (at 7:30 PM) quite dirty.

Positive experience:
The camping is passable. If I have to highlight something, it is its proximity to the beach and that the restrooms are clean. However, the camping lacks trash bins throughout the area and they gave us a plot where they said you could see the sea (I am still looking for it). The plots are quite small and honestly the ground could be better acclimatized (risk of your mattress being punctured by pine spikes)
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Camping very well located, near the beach. The access to the upper part is a bit neglected, very poorly paved. The bathrooms are basic but very clean. There is no changing table for babies... Although they have a shower for babies, there is no changing table. The shower water would get cold if it stopped flowing. Showers outside the bathrooms. They do not accept card payments.

Fantastic experience:
We discovered this campsite by chance in 1993, we were traveling as a family and looking for a quiet place to enjoy the area. When we went down to the village and saw this beautiful place, we fell in love forever. The best thing about the campsite is its simplicity, location, and the family that runs it, as they have done everything possible to maintain and protect this natural site. In recent years we have noticed certain improvements that are appreciated, but for us it is and will always be a special and unique place.

Positive experience:
Very rural camping right in the middle of the village, just 200 m from the beach, that is its greatest value. It has a saltwater pool. And at reception, there is also a restaurant that is quite good. There are no other services, just old sinks for washing clothes by hand, old showers and sinks, but very clean. What is offered is the proximity to the beach of the largest supermarket in Calella, and it feels like you are in the middle of a forest; the camping is divided by a road in the middle, and you can easily cross to the upper part with a small bridge. The recommendations I've received about the bungalows they rent there are not very good in terms of sleep comfort. It is for bringing a tent or your own caravan and knowing that their offer is to be in one of the best villages in the world. Unpretentious, without great luxury, an old-fashioned camping.

Two minutes walking from the beach. We had no problems and everything was fine. The only downside is that in low season, the manager is only there in the morning.

Positive experience:
The campsite is well located, close to the village and the beach. The restrooms and showers are clean. However, the restrooms and showers are scarce for the size of the campsite, the sinks are narrow (you can hardly place the dishes), no shade, no hot water (in the showers it is also scarce), and the taps are garden-type (if you open it a little it doesn’t rinse well, and if you open it too much you get wet). Saltwater pool and very small. There is no supermarket but there is one very close by. There were ants but no mosquitoes. Plenty of shade and spacious plots.

Positive experience:
Centrally located camping, and close to the beach. Relatively inexpensive and simple. In September 2017 the pool was closed, or at least on the days I was there. I had a pitch near the entrance, but the ones further up look very far away and with complicated and somewhat chaotic access. Old bathrooms and showers, and I suppose that with the camping full they must be scarce. Stagnant water areas where mosquitoes abound. Although it is also an area with a lot of vegetation. The village is beautiful, and it's worth spending a few days there.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Very quiet if you are lucky enough not to be near the road that connects the 2 parts of the campsite and comfortable for moving the car. Bathrooms that have seen better days and very well located near the village...the village, very beautiful, like the whole Costa Brava, too many chalets piled up along the slopes near the sea.

The staff treated us very well, as after checking in and looking for a pitch we didn’t find any that met our needs (because almost all the pitches were occupied due to it being high season and we are traveling with a large motorhome) and they offered to refund our money with a smile. I wish the treatment was the same everywhere.
