You will find this wonderful camping resort with spa on the sunny Costa Dorada, an hour's drive from Barcelona. As it is located right on the coast, a dip in the sea is never far away. Camping Playa Bara is located in a beautiful green pine forest with a botanical garden. The park is neatly laid out, well maintained and has abundant facilities, including a tropical swimming pool and an amphitheatre. The spacious camping pitches offer campers plenty of privacy. And for those who prefer to rent, this campsite offers stylish mobile homes and bungalows.

In the shade of a pine tree

Do you like being surrounded by nature? Then you can indulge yourself at this campsite. Here you will be camping in the shade of hundreds of pine and palm trees. The camping pitches have a solid foundation, are spacious and offer plenty of privacy thanks to the vegetation. The sanitary facilities are neat and thoroughly cleaned. They also undergo regular maintenance. There are special children's sanitary facilities for the youngest guests.

Tropical waterpark and amphitheatre

There is a beautifully landscaped, partially heated swimming pool. The round pool is surrounded by lush vegetation and palm trees. There are many sun loungers around the pool where you can warm up in the sun. Want to unwind even more? Relax in the jacuzzi or enjoy a massage at the spa. Special activities are organised for campers of every age. The youngest guests will have a great time in the mini club where they can take part in crafts, face painting and dancing. There is a junior club for older children and teenagers as well.

Travelling party: Family with children, 4 – 12 years

This is a really lovely campsite. We loved the location and the pitches. The staff are so amazing and so helpful. Facilities are great. However the one area which was a huge let down was the swimming pool area. Whilst there is a sign suggesting you book no chairs people were booking them. Parents were arriving with their children and had nowhere to sit. We arrived and there were 3 people in the pool yet every chair had towels. The lifeguards say they can do nothing. We reported it and they were surprised and said they would fix it but they could not.

Estancia ultima semana de agosto camping completo muy bien organizado con separación de parcelas por arbustos con agua y desagüe en la parcela. Las parcelas resultan pequeñas para los conjuntos de caravana + toldo + coche. Parcelas con sombra. Buenas instalaciones y salida muy cerca de la playa que es muy estrecha.
