  • Family-run site on the outskirts of Peñíscola, on the Costa del Azahar
  • Papagayo Garden five minutes’ drive; Benicàssim 35 minutes
  • Activity programme on site; public bus service to beach in summer
If you've tried the Costa del Sol, the Costa Blanca and the Costa Brava, too, and feel it’s high time to discover one of Spain’s less busy Mediterranean stretches, consider the Costa del Azahar (which translates as the ‘orange blossom coast’), on the Balearic Sea. On the outskirts of the seaside resort of Peñíscola, a 35-minute drive north of Benicàssim, is Camping Peñíscola, a dog-friendly spot with spacious gravel and hardstanding pitches for convenient coastal breaks. Camping Peñíscola is run by a family, and they know what families need when they are on holiday, starting with a playground with a bouncy castle, and an activity programme that includes live music, flamenco shows and pétanque competitions. The owners also have ambitious plans for the future, with two pools in the works (including a swim-up bar and a toddlers’ pool with waterslides), a splash park and a multisports court. Until then, guests will have to go to the beach for their daily swim – and it’s no great sacrifice, especially if you have a bike: it takes about 15 minutes to cycle to sandy Playa de Peñíscola (10 minutes if you drive); from June to September, a public bus stopping in front of the site connects to the beach and the town centre. Easy-peasy. Restaurants dot the palm tree-lined promenade at Peñíscola, and there's also a varied menu available at the on-site eatery. Also on site are a modern toilet/shower block (with amenities for disabled guests), a launderette and a drying room.

What customers say

This newly renovated campsite offers spacious pitches with excellent, modern facilities, including individual shower/toilet cubicles and sinks on most pitches. The large pool area with a bar is a highlight, and the on-site restaurant receives positive mentions. While the location is somewhat rural, Peniscola is accessible by bike. Some minor issues include rough gravel on pitches for some, and occasional noise from ongoing work. Overall, guests find it a great value and would return.

Gold fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch (XXL)

Liked Very nice, tidy site. Shower rooms are perfect and very spacious, the bar/restaurant area is also very nice but I can’t comment on the food as we were only here for one night and didn’t eat there but wouldn’t hesitate to book this site again.

Disliked I remember 4kw of electricity a day and then you pay for anything you use over that.

Silver fully-serviced gravel and hardstanding pitch (XL)

Liked Helaas kan ik daar na deze ervaring niets positiefs meer over zeggen. Wat in eerste instantie een mooie vakantie voor ons gezin had moeten worden, is door deze gebeurtenis volledig overschaduwd. Vooral het verdriet van mijn 3-jarige dochter en de manier waarop mijn vrouw en zij uit het zwembad zijn gestuurd, heeft ervoor gezorgd dat er voor ons niets meer is om met een goed gevoel op terug te kijken.

Disliked Helaas heeft ons verblijf op deze camping een zeer nare en verdrietige wending gekregen. Wij zijn speciaal vanuit Nederland helemaal naar Spanje gereisd om samen met ons gezin een mooie vakantie te hebben. Nooit hadden wij verwacht dat wij zoiets zouden meemaken.

Mijn vrouw en mijn dochtertje van slechts 3 jaar zijn door twee medewerkers uit het zwembad gestuurd vanwege de kleding die mijn vrouw droeg. Wat ons het meest heeft geraakt, is niet alleen de manier waarop dit gebeurde, maar vooral de impact die het had op ons kleine meisje.

Mijn dochter van 3 keek enorm uit naar het zwembad en had er ontzettend veel plezier. Door deze situatie werd haar plezier volledig weggenomen. Ze begreep niet waarom ze ineens het zwembad uit moest en liep uiteindelijk huilend en diep verdrietig met ons mee.

Als ouders was het hartverscheurend om je kind zo te zien huilen tijdens een vakantie waarvoor je als gezin zo’n lange reis hebt gemaakt. Wij zijn helemaal vanuit Nederland naar Spanje gekomen om mooie herinneringen te maken, maar helaas is dit een herinnering geworden die ons gezin niet snel zal vergeten.

Wij hadden van onze vakantie iets heel anders verwacht. Helaas heeft deze gebeurtenis voor ons een groot deel van de vreugde en het vakantiegevoel weggenomen.

Local attractions

Macaws and cockatoos are among the winged residents at Papagayo Garden (five minutes’ drive), an animal sanctuary that's home to more than 50 species of parrots, plus lemurs and capybaras. At the centre of the Laberint de Peñíscola (five minutes), Spain’s largest maze, is one of the five huge dinosaur statues on the grounds. Dominating Peñíscola (10 minutes) from a rocky outcrop jutting into the Balearic Sea, Castell de Peñíscola has a long history going back to the 13th century and the Knights Templar. On the same headland is the Magic Museum Yunke, where you can learn all about iconic magic tricks, such as levitating assistants. Poblado Ibero Puig de la Nau (15 minutes) is a fortified hilltop settlement dating from the fifth century BC. Call in advance to arrange for a guided tour, which will take you through its ancient streets, past stone houses and into a centuries-old wine cellar.
