  • 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.

What customers say

This campsite boasts an excellent location, very close to the beach, with welcoming reception staff. Guests praise the cleanliness of the showers, toilets, and pool area, as well as the spacious facilities. However, some visitors experienced issues with rude poolside bar staff, noise from teenagers, and found pitches to be small and crammed. The proximity of a train track was also noted as a source of noise.

Chantelle E.

Electric sand touring pitch (large)

Liked Close to beach and a lovely restaurant by the sites entrance. Staff in reception were welcoming and helpful. Other lovely restaurants along the beach outside of the site.

Disliked Staff in poolside bar were rude and not at all welcoming. Actually put us off ordering from there. Lots of loud music and shouting/screaming from groups of teenage boys around the pool. Description states it is a quiet site after 11pm but large gangs of kids hanging around the toilet block until well after midnight. They were regularly running in and out of the toilets screaming and shouting. Toilets and showers were not cleaned regularly enough and were grubby. Photos of site are misleading, there is a high orange wall around most of the campsite and the pitches are small and crammed together. Feels like you’re in a prison yard. Also, the train track is right alongside the wall of the site, so lots of noise throughout the day and night. Not many shops or any life near the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for sharing. We want to clarify that the wall you mentioned is only a small section, chosen specifically to provide privacy and security. This aspect was considered when selecting the site, so we don’t fully understand your complaint about it. Additionally, the campsite is surrounded by two lively coastal towns with many shops, both just a 10-minute walk away. We regret that your experience with the poolside bar staff and the nighttime atmosphere did not meet your expectations.

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.
