- Peaceful rural site in a quiet part of the Costa Brava
- On a shaded hill a 100-metre stroll from a sandy beach
- Bar-restaurant, playground, TV room and shop
What a whale of a time will be had at Camping Moby Dick near Catalonia's Girona. For it's in a lovely locale across from the Spanish seafront, and only 100 metres or so from a scenic and sandy Spanish beach in the quiet coastal town of Calella de Palafrugell: if you yearn for the Costa Brava without heaving crowds, this should be a serene spot for you.
Camping Moby Dick is small, rural and family run, welcoming families, solo wanderers and groups of friends, and with a peaceful vibe for chilled Costa Brava days. Pitches are on terraces on a small hill shaded by mature oak and pine trees, and some have sea views.
The site is all set up to have most of what you'll need to stay put for quiet days, with a bar-restaurant, a TV room, a playground, a ping pong table, and a grocery shop selling fresh bread and fruit. The modern amenities include toilet blocks, showers and a laundry room.
Open from 22/06/2020 to 30/09/2020

Well positioned for visiting Calella. But watch out for size of rig
From the manager...
Greetings, and thank you for your feedback. Our records show in this instance the booking was made just one day prior to the Sant Joan holiday weekend where our campground was nearly full with reservations that had been made previous to this one. As such, there was a diminishing choice set as to where your motorhome could be placed. We did allocate a plot to you, with a sea view, where we have put similar motorhomes in the past without complaints. One of the strengths of our campsite is its unique layout in terraces on a sweeping hillside. Many motorhome campers enjoy this arrangement because it often offers nice views. With that said, we do apologize if this particular plot was not optimal for you but again, in this case, it was the best we could do given that you had booked quite late during a very busy time. Kind Regards, |

Local attractions
The eight (!) award-winning beaches of Calella de Palafrugell around Camping Moby Dick should keep sand and serenity seekers content for some time, but if you want to up the watery ante at any point, you can join the diving school at Port Pelegri beach, hire kayaks at Canadell beach, or take a sailing excursion from the beach of Port Bo – or do the whole heap in between sandy days on beach towels (recommended).
Two walking trails to take you round the area are within easy reach of the site, one from Sant Roc to Golfet beach, and another from the centre of Calella de Palafrugell to the village of Llafranc. For cycling, access the local Via Verde, connecting Saita Margarita to the village of Palamós, a tiptop stop in itself for its swimming, sailing and windsurfing bay.
Garden fans will go gaga at the nearby and famed botanical gardens of Cap Roig, spreading down terraces from the castle of the Cap Roig estate to the sea and lauded as one of the very best gardens on the whole of the Med. Spanish and international artists exhibit their works at the gardens during the summer months.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience differed from most of our clients' experiences. As for signage, we made a decision years ago to forego a lot of signage in the campsite so as to maintain a more natural appearance to the grounds. Perhaps we need to revisit that. However, we do provide every client a detailed map of the campground with plot designations as well as verbal and written directions to their specific plot or plot area. We have found this suffices in 99% of cases. In terms of price, our pricing is extremely competitive (and the lowest priced for most of the year) for the area. Given that Camping Moby Dick is only a three minutes' walk to the beautiful beaches of Calella de Palafrugell we believe we offer excellent value for money. We will certainly look into the matter of shelf height in the showers. Yours is the first time we've heard feedback that the height of the shelf is not satisfactory. Again, thank you for your feedback.
Kind Regards,
Camping Moby Dick
