  • Friendly site in a small coastal fishing village
  • Excellent location for birdwatching and wildlife spotting
  • A 30-minute drive from PortAventura
The Camping Ampolla Playa crew is rightly proud of its stunning setting. For not only is it at the entrance of the Ebro Delta Nature Park spreading over Tarragona to the Med, it's also by the Catalonian coast in the fishing village of L’Ampolla, flocked to for its lush cuisine as well as its beaches, cliffs and coves. This is a site to suit families, couples and adventurous sorts who like to settle down in an area surrounded by natural scenery and wildlife, and for those who dig their ancient history too, as the Roman ruins of Tarragona are within easy reach. If you're around with the kids, Spain's most popular theme park, PortAventura, is within a 30-minute drive. All is sorted for facilities and entertainment on site, with a bar-restaurant, two pools, sports facilities, games and entertainment. Bikes can also be hired from the site team.

Liked: Restaurant/bar staff extremely helpful and polite as were the reception staff. Clean and tidy site.

From the manager: Good morning, As you may know, the camping is located in the Ebro Delta, surounded by lagunes, rice fields and wetlands, Mosquitos are something releated to this area, specially during hot seasons. We recommend the use of repellent and avoid wetlands at dawn. Sincerely, Borja B.

Dave T. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: Pool restaurant staff and all facilities were great

Disliked: We were pitched to the back of the site near some water ( looked stagnant). We were bitten horrendously by mosquitoes. I counted over 100 bites in 12,hours despite using repellent and havibg screens in our motorhome. It was so bad we left early. We one a house in Spain are used to dealing with mosquitoes but this was the worst I have ever known by far.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Dave, We are sorry to hear about your problems with mosquito bites. We are situated in a natural park with lagoons and rice fields. During the rice harvesting season, it is common to have a lot of mosquitoes. We hope you will visit us again with less trouble. Yours sincerely. Borja B.

Local attractions

As mentioned, Camping Ampolla Playa is in a stunning setting: alternate days wildlife watching with days at the beach and then days' worth of roaming around Tarragona and its towns. And then there's the cuisine and seafood of local village L’Ampolla: its oysters and its black rice are much recommended… For nature and birdwatching, have at least a day around the Ebro Delta Nature Park, the wetlands and Ramsar site packed with wildlife and birds. Look out for little bustards, pin-tailed sandgrouses, red-necked nightjars, great spotted cuckoos, rollers and – hard to miss – the world's biggest colony of Audouin's gull. You could also alternate beach and birdwatching days with theme park trips with the kids, to the five areas of PortAventura in Salou to Catalonia's south and its Costa Caribe Aquatic Park, the Carribbean-themed waterpark with Europe's biggest freefall slide. And you must – must – have a trip to the fab city of Tarragona to see Roman ruins like the amphitheatre, the Roman and medieval finds of the Praetorium, and the biggest collection of Roman artefacts in Spain at the Museu Nacional Arqueologic. Fishing, watersports, hiking, cycling and a pile of tourist attractions are all available within a short distance of the site.
