Hillside site a few minutes' walk from the beach
Half a kilometre from Calella town and under an hour from Barcelona
Pool, snack bar and restaurant, plus kayaking and diving excursions

Till ringers and sand fans unite. The handsome big park of Camping El Far is a few minutes’ walk from a golden sandy beach and an easy half kilometre from Calella, a town so dedicated to shopping that it has over 500 stores and a two-kilometre long shopping road. (And Barcelona is under an hour away for more shopping – and museums – there too.) Camping El Far is a hillside site on the Catalonian coast (countryside and sea settings = hurrah), and has a pool, snack bar, mini market and a restaurant to keep you contentedly occupied in and out of the water. Kayaking excursions, diving, zumba, bingo and many more activities are organised for guests by the site team. Amenities are well looked after and include two toilet and shower blocks, a washing-up area and a launderette. And if you’re sick of shopping? (Pffft.) A watersports centre is just outside the site and a wellness centre is 50 metres away, with discounts available for site guests.

Caraibes 2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: We loved our tent with own toilet on the hill and a magnificent view! So nice to watch over the beach and the city every day and night. You can walk to the beach or the Village in 10 min. This camping is only for people who can walk good, because there are a lot of stairs.

Disliked: There were some young groups on the campsite that made noise during the night.

Local attractions

Once you’ve seen yourself sorted at the beach and both the watersports and wellness centres, there's still heaps more around to do, from exploring further along the Catalonian coast to having city days out at Barcelona and Girona, 45 and 47 kilometres away respectively. A waterpark is within easy driving distance. If you’re around with the kids (and perhaps even if you aren’t), the Costa Brava dolphin park and zoo of Marineland Catalunya and the chutes and slides of Water World at Lloret de Mar are both good day trip options, as is PortAventura and the other theme parks around Barcelona city. Elsewhere in Barcelona province, four national parks are around to hike, cycle and wildlife watch at, or you could stick to the coast and dot around the many seaside resorts and small village like the del Mars: have days in Canet, Malgrat, Tossa, Pineda…
