Finding a vacation for the whole family can be very difficult, especially if you have children of different ages. If you are considering a beach holiday, it is almost impossible to go wrong. There are campsites on the beach that are designed for all members of the family to enjoy their vacation. Campsites with swimming pools and slides for the little ones, with activities and sports for teenagers and with shows and restaurants for the parents. Today we want to help you choose the best beach campsite for your family. That is why we have selected the 3 best beach campsites in Catalonia for you.
3. Camping Cala Canyelles
This campsite is located between the villages of Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar, on the Costa Brava. It is a wild and natural campsite, in the middle of nature and stands out for its impressivesea view. The beach "Cala Canyelles" is only 200 meters away. It's true that it's a very big site and it's on a slope, but they have a little train that runs along the main street from the site to the beach, and it's free! As for the bay, it is one of the most prestigious ones in the south of the Costa Brava, due to the purity of its turquoise waters and the large number of fish and animals that live there. It is without a doubt one of the best places for snorkeling and diving.
This site is perfect if you come with older children as the little ones can get tired of walking uphill. In addition, the campsite has a wide range of activities and sports such as kayaking, hiking, snorkeling, cycling routes and much more.
2. Camping Caballo de Mar
Camping Caballo de Mar is located in Pineda de Mar, right on the beach. It is without a doubt the ideal beach campsite for young children, as both the pools and the beach are made for them. On one hand, the beach is very flat and shallow, so there is hardly any danger for children. As for the pools, they have it all: slides, themed pools with water jets, and in 2020 they built a new splash area for young children with a giant whale.
It also has all kinds of accommodations and pitches: luxury bungalows, on the beach, near the swimming pools, or pitches at the edge of the sea, etc. However, our favorites are the Bora Beach and Bora Beach AC Bungalows located in the beach area. These are the perfect accommodations for people wanting vacations that bring comfort and tranquility. They have all the necessary kitchen equipment, a bathroom, two bedrooms, a television, and, above all, a terrace to fully enjoy the beach view.
We should also mention the number of activities for children and adults, especially during high season and on weekends: mini club, mini disco, live shows, sports, etc.
1.Camping Cala Gogo Internacional
Arguably one of the best campsites on the Costa Brava. It is a macro resort located between Playa de Aro and Sant Antoni de Calonge and has direct access to the Cala Gogo / Ses torretes beach via the Cala Gogo area and access to Cala Cristus via the Internacional area. These beaches are very beautiful, it is barely 300 meters long, but the rocks, the turquoise water and the beauty of the landscape make it very special. The little ones probably don't want to go to the beach much, as the campsite has 13 swimming pools with slides and children's pools. An entire water park without having to leave the campsite.
The campsite is very large, so it is important to know how to choose the place and accommodation that best suits the holiday you and your family are looking for. We can divide the campsite into three parts:
- On the beach : These are the accommodations closest to the beach, some even touch the sand (ONA and ONA TOP Bungalows). If you plan to spend most of your time on the beach, this is the right place. Most accommodations have a very nice sea view and the terraces are very spacious. Also in this area you will find the beach restaurant, where you can enjoy typical Mediterranean food: rice, fish, seafood, etc ... In addition, there are concerts and live shows every summer evening.
- Pool area : Perhaps this is the perfect place on the campsite to come with small children, as this is where most of the pools, the mini club and slides are located. And this is also where most of the entertainment activities take place. In this area there is a restaurant where you can try all kinds of international dishes such as pizzas, burgers, etc. In this area there are different types of accommodations, but we highlight the Mobile Homes Croma, which are two minutes from the swimming pools , they are located on a private property with a playground and own swimming pool, where there are no cars, so that children can play safely. All these accommodations have Smart TV connected to the internet.
- Highest and quietest part: This is the Chill-Out area. Where the accommodations are further apart and there is more privacy. Furthermore, all accommodations in this area have a panoramic view of the sea. Perhaps this area is a better option for a holiday with older children who can go to the pools or beach on their own. In this area we have the Chill-Out pool with Jacuzzi and the Chill-Out grill restaurant.
Anyway, at the campsite they have what they call "La Gua Gua", a cute little train that runs from the pool to the beach. This one is completely free.
