  • Family site in Arenys de Mar with direct access to Cavalló beach
  • Golf course 15 minutes’ drive and Barcelona attractions 40 minutes
  • Terrace restaurant, bar, outdoor pool and play area on site
Coming to Catalonia and hoping to spend a good deal of time on the beach? Book in at Camping El Toro Azul and you’ll be able to stroll out onto the sand whenever you fancy it – this family-friendly touring site in Arenys de Mar has direct access to Cavalló beach. This is a nifty location indeed for a beach break – the area just by the site is pretty peaceful and suitable for laidback family days, but it’s easy to stroll a little further along to the section by the marina, which has a good cluster of restaurants and bars, along with watersports centres for paddleboarding, kayaking, jetskiing and the like. The centre of town is also easily walkable (about 20 minutes) for shops and more places to eat and drink. The beach may well be the main focus here, but it’s not your only option for a day of activity – the mountainous area just inland is great for hiking and cycling, and days out in Barcelona can be on the cards too (the city is about 40 minutes’ drive away, or a little over an hour by train). Whether you ever get to Barcelona is another matter of course… in fact, this site is very conducive to lazy days pottering between the beach, the open-air pool and the on-site restaurant and bar – perhaps with the odd detour to the play park or the pétanque court if you’ve got active kids with you. On the practical side, facilities like showers (with constant hot water), a laundry service and wifi should mean everything runs smoothly during your holiday.

Karen H.

Electric sand touring pitch (large)

Liked Well kept site very close to the beach, with clean bathroom facilities and good wifi. Friendly welcome and helpful staff. Good location, between two towns, both with train stations. Unfortunately, we stayed just after a storm, which meant beach access was tricky and all trains were cancelled. The pool area looks lovely - although it wasn't the weather for a dip! We also ate at the restaurant which was nice - with reasonably priced bottles of wine.

Disliked A minor point, but guest communication could be improved. We weren't told on arrival how to get onto the wifi and had to go back to reception to be given a separate code. This then expired after a couple of days (not told this in advance) and had to go back to reception again for another code. There were also works carried out on the bathroom facilities without notice. All bathroom facilities were roped off - with no timeframe given. That said, we would still go back. Also - the shower room lights are on a motion sensor, which goes on when you enter. Unfortunately, they go off while you're in the shower, with no way of getting them back on without dashing out halfway through your shower in a towel!! Please can you rectify this?

From the manager: Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review Karen and for your very positive comments overall. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by the points you mentioned and truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve.
We will work on improving guest communication, particularly regarding wifi access and expiry, and on being more attentive to these details. We have also taken note of your comments about the bathroom lighting and will review this to find a solution.
Thank you again for your understanding and for saying you would return. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide an even better experience.

Liked Ablutions exceptionally clean. Hot water in showers and basins.
Toilet paper provided as well as paper roll next to basins.
Washing machines and tumble dryer which can be used with a credit/debit card. Staff very friendly and speak English. Access to the beach via a back gate. Twenty minute stroll to a lovely town with lots of places to eat and drink and great shopping. Twenty minute walk the other way to the railway station for links to Barcelona.

Electric sand touring pitch (premium, XL)

Liked Un accueil très agréable, camping entre la route et la voie ferrée mais cela ne nous a pas gêné , Sanitaires et douches propres. Accès à la plage juste en face du camping. La proximité à pied comme à vélo d’Arenys de Mar et de Canet de Mar est un atout aussi . une petite semaine reposante et amusante avec nos enfants (balade à vélo, à pieds, journée à Barcelone ). le personnel du restaurant italien à coté est super gentil

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Merci beaucoup Yasmine pour votre commentaire si complet et positif. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’accueil, la propreté des sanitaires et la situation privilégiée du camping, à deux pas de la mer et tout près des charmants villages d’Arenys et de Canet. Cela nous fait plaisir de savoir que vous avez passé une semaine agréable et reposante en famille. Nous transmettrons avec joie vos compliments à l’équipe du restaurant italien. À très bientôt au Camping El Toro Azul !

Electric sand touring pitch

Liked A great site, we really enjoyed our 5 nights here. The only suggestion is as a wheelchair user the showers and toilets are not really user friendly and could do with a dedicated wash room for wheelchair users. But I did manage.

Liked Responden las llamadas y prestan informacion

Disliked No alcance a llegar antes de los 8.00 p.m. y se perdió lo de la reserva

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: César, lamentamos su valoración, pero debemos ser claros: la recepción permanece abierta hasta las 21:00, no hasta las 20:00 como indica. Además, siempre hay personal disponible fuera de ese horario para permitir el acceso a los clientes que contactan con recepción por teléfono, tal y como se informa en la reserva. Lamentamos que no haya hecho uso de este servicio, ya que su reserva no se habría perdido.

Local attractions

Beach and watersports may well fill much of your time, but it’s worth noting there are more activity options close by as well – perhaps you’d like a game of tennis (five minutes’ walk), a round of golf (15 minutes’ drive) or the chance to clamber up into the trees at Activ Natura Parc d’Aventura (20 minutes). Walks, too – the Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor (20 minutes) is a lovely place for a stroll among coastal woodlands, with several Neolithic and Iberian historic sites to look out for along the way. Arty types may like to follow the sculpture trail at Bosc Artístic d’Ernest Borràs i Berta Julivert (25 minutes), while more intrepid visitors go further inland to the mountains around Montseny (45 minutes). Whether you’re a first-timer or a frequent visitor, Barcelona (40 minutes, or take the train) is always worth a trip – the city is packed with colourful attractions, markets, museums, shops and heaps of excellent food and drink.
