  • Family-friendly site under five minutes’ walk from the local beach
  • Peaceful spot with lots of shade and a natural lake for fishing
  • Less than half an hour’s walk from L’Escala Old Town
Dreaming of a rural getaway without having to leave the reassuring embrace of civilisation? Càmping Lacus, a family-friendly site in a quiet forested area close to the centre of L’Escala on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, allows you to settle down in a scenic spot while being within easy reach of everything you might need for your hols. The site is less than five minutes’ walk from Riells beach – the largest in L’Escala – where you can have a go at windsurfing or kayaking, take out a catamaran or simply doze on the sand. When you’re feeling the need for some retail therapy, the shops are a short walk away. On site, laze under the trees or plonk yourself next to the lake for a spot of fishing. If you’d prefer to get a bit more active, but still in peace and quiet, have a game of pétanque, rack up a game of billiards or take a walk around the lake. No idle times are quite complete without a good feed, so head to the on-site restaurant for a meal, then waddle over to the bar to unwind on the terrace with a drink or two (it’s your hols – no one will judge). If you’d prefer a change of scenery, there are plenty of restaurants within an easy walk.

What customers say

This campsite benefits from an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the beach and town amenities, with many pitches offering lake views. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff. While some found the facilities dated, they were consistently described as clean and functional. However, a significant number of reviews highlight the poor condition and maintenance of the sanitary blocks, with issues like lack of hot water and cleanliness being recurring concerns. Electricity reliability was also noted as problematic by some.

Electric forest floor touring pitch (lake view)

Liked Large area between vans which is good if there was a fire. Your not looking into each others windows.lighting on when it starts getting dark. Toilet blocks all around the site with washing.and washing up facilities but the main toilet block has the washer/dryer and showers.the staff that was on when I was there 22.12.2020 to 26.12.2020 was very helpful and pleasant and tried her best to help in any way.

Disliked Some of the full time vans were in a really bad condition and made the site unloved and unkempt. They must have them replaced or tell people to move them off site

Electric forest floor touring pitch (lake view)

Liked I don't really know why this site only has a 6 rating, as we found the site lovely.
Reception staff friendly and welcoming. We couldn't find our pitch and a guy went out of his way and showed us where to go. The toilets/showers are old and outdated but they are very clean and functional. There are seasonal and permanent residents on site, and the ones we came across were all helpful and friendly.
The site is in the town which is brilliant, with interesting shops and again, friendly residents. The coast is only a 5 minute walk from the site and has a well maintained sandy beach. Although we only stayed 2 nights, we really loved the whole area, and will definitely return to explore further.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Camping Lacus is a lovely, peaceful campsite in a beautiful setting by a small lake. The atmosphere is quiet and serene, perfect for relaxing. The staff were warm and friendly throughout our stay, and the facilities were clean and well maintained. The showers were nice and hot, which was a great bonus.

It’s also in a fantastic location—just a short four-minute walk to the beach. Overall, a really enjoyable stay. I’d happily return!

Local attractions

There’s more to L’Escala than just the beach. Càmping Lacus is within walking distance of the scenic Old Town and the museum of Alfolí de la Sal – while you’re wandering the streets, be sure to take the time to try the local delicacy: anchovies. There are oodles of factories to visit, and the Museu de l’Anxova i de la Sal is worth a stop. The site is a 10-minute drive from the remains of the millennia-old trading town, Empúries, where you can explore the ruins that date to the second-century BC and visit the Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya. For a taste of human folly, pull on your serious shoes and hike to the spectacular but unfinished Montgrí Castle at the top of Torroella de Montgrí mountain then make yourself feel better about the successes of human civilisation with a visit to the Fundació Mascort gallery, both less than 20 minutes from Càmping Lacus. If you want a broader urban experience than you’ve had in L’Escala, the museums, galleries, restaurants and shops of the city of Girona are less than an hour from the site. The Museu del Cinema-Col·lecció Tomàs Mallol, the Passeig de la Muralla and, 20 minutes outside the city, the Fundació Mona primate sanctuary are must-sees.
