  • Five minutes’ drive to Costa Brava Parc Aventura; Girona 40 minutes
  • Entertainment and activities; restaurant and bars; massage cabin
Costa Brava, here you come – and if you’re clever, you’ll nab a pitch at Camping Vall d’Or, the only campsite overlooking the sandy beach at Platja d’Aro. This family-friendly spot has been welcoming guests for more than 50 years, so they must be doing something right. So what is it that they’re doing so well? Well, for starters there’s an enthusiastic team at reception ready to help you out in any way possible, and an eco-market with breakfast goodies, foodie treats and local produce for sale (plus a delivery service right to your pitch). You can catch the rays with a glass of something chilled at one of the terrace bars – and attend themed events and DJ sessions after nightfall – or dine on tapas and seafood paella in the restaurant. There’s a games area and organised sporty stuff to keep the kids entertained, while you have a go at Zumba or Pilates on the beach. And if you feel that you need a pamper after running around in the sun, book a treatment at the massage cabin. If the spectacular beachfront setting and all those facilities are not enough to convince you about Camping Vall d’Or, you may like to know that Port d’Aro marina is five minutes’ walk away for leisurely strolls around the yachts. If you want to up the night-time tempo a bit, Ocine Platja d’Aro mall (10 minutes’ walk) has a cinema, bowling alley and nightclub.

Vintage static caravan

Liked: Camping a due passi da una bellissima spiaggia libera di micro sassolini e un mare meraviglioso. Ho soggiornato in una mobilehome, estremamente pulita e letti comodi. Attrezzatura della cucina essenziale (solo 4 bicchieri e nessuna tazza per esempio) Campeggio tranquillo, piazzole molto spaziose. Animazione assente forse perché la maggior parte degli ospiti era composta da scolaresche di adolescenti tedeschi che avevano animazione dedicata. Staff cordiale. Unico pecca: non avevano asciugamani da noleggiare nonostante fosse espresso chiaramente sul sito, per cui lo.ho dovuti comprare al decathlon lì vicino. Novità inaspettata: supermercato chiuso per la stagione 2024...peccato sarebbe stato utile saperlo prima. Il campeggio è comunque molto vicino al paese e alle attività commerciali. Struttura pet friendly

Disliked: Chiusura del supermercato Assenza di asciugamani a noleggio Wifi a pagamento

Disliked: Los wc estavan muy sucios, solo fuimos para una noche y preferi no ducharme a ducharme alli. El servicio de restaurante fatal, no te hacen un bocadillo porque tienen que limpiar la terraza, y hay cuatro personas y para atenderte tardan mucho.

Electric optional earth pitch (XXL)

Liked: Close proximity to the beach and good bathroom and shower facilities

Disliked: This is a loud campsite, normally not a problem but the bar music was so loud until late made it difficult to sleep. Electric hook up was very temperamental. In fact the electric point was on our pitch supplying at least 10 other pitches. Other people would just walk on to our pitch to get the electric. We were placed next to an area of stagnant water which smelt terrible.

Electric optional earth pitch (large)

Liked: Nous avons super bien été accueilli, l'emplacement correspondait à notre attente. Il est vraiment face à la plage. Centre ville à proximité, ainsi qu'une zone commerciale où l'on y trouve son bonheur.

Disliked: Dommage qu'il n'y est pas au moins une piscine pour les petits.

Local attractions

There’s lots to keep active families occupied around Platja d’Aro. There are a couple of tennis clubs within 10 minutes’ walk, Skatepark Platja d’Aro (15 minutes) for skateboarders, and rope courses or zipwires at Costa Brava Parc Aventura Platja d’Aro (five minutes’ drive). Teach the kids the basics of golf at Pitch and Putt Mas Torrellas (10 minutes) or while away the afternoon on the thrill rides at Pp’s Park Platja d’Aro (15 minutes’ walk). To see a little more of the region, rent a motorboat from the marina (five minutes) to explore beaches and hidden coves up and down the Mediterranean coastline. Should you feel the need to stir from beachfront Platja d’Aro altogether, head to historic Girona (40 minutes’ drive) to explore the labyrinthine El Call quarter, walk the ramparts for views of the cathedral and spot the city's Game of Thrones locations. Alternatively, spend the day in Barcelona (an hour and 15 minutes) to watch the street theatre on Las Ramblas, graze your way around the tapas bars of La Boqueria food market and tour Antoni Gaudí’s extraordinary Sagrada Família cathedral.
