from 82 reviews Write review

Approximately 100 km south of Barcelona you will find the quiet, child-friendly family campsite Joan, close to the historic former fishing village of Cambrils. The campsite is located right at one of the most beautiful sandy beaches of the Costa Dorada. This spot is ideal for campers who like to enjoy Spanish beaches in peace.

Tall pine trees

The grounds look well kept with pitches of varying size. There are numerous mulberry trees offering ample shade, but you can also opt for a pitch in the sun. Note to owners of campers: quite a few pitches have low hanging branches. Want to hire something? There is a vast range of different mobile homes, studios, apartments and bungalows.

Water aerobics

The cosy, round swimming pool is especially suitable for children to cool off. It is also ideal for water aerobics, swimming a few lengths is more difficult, unfortunately. You will find nice wooden decking around the swimming pool and there are ample sun loungers with the odd sun umbrella here and there. The sea close to the campsite is suitable for children: the vast beach slopes gently into the sea. Breakwaters provide calm water.

Cycle-friendly

There is a playground for children and lots of entertainment for all ages. You can also use the fitness room and there is a choice of massages. Walking and cycling enthusiasts will be very happy with the number of trails in the area.

Good food

The campsite restaurant has an extensive menu with good quality dishes. From the restaurant you have a nice view over the campsite. Just outside the camping grounds you will find more eating establishments, with a sea view as a bonus.

Came for one night stayed for a week! Fabulous friendly site with access to the beach. Two restaurants and mini-market on site.

Liked - Online and telephone conversation with reception. Friendly and helpful reception and other staff.
Disliked - The trees are too close to the entrance to the pitch, and the branches are too low for large camping cars. We have watched and assisted people manoeuvring into position. We damaged our vehicle on a low overhanging branch.

In October about 60% of the places were occupied with Spanish guest who came there for the weekend Friday-night till Sunday evening. Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the camping is filled with scents of grilled sardines, paella and other local dishes and the sound of children playing and their parents chatting in large groups. Great atmosphere. The other days the camping is much quieter. Great to have that difference in atmosphere. The pitch size was pretty good and it is great to walk or cycle over the boulevard to the centre of Cambrils, which is 3 kilometres away and has numerous restaurants. I enjoyed my stay.
