  • 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.

Liked: Prêt de tous commerces et du petit train pour visiter la ville. Nous avons passé un petit séjour agréable et on va dire dans le calme

Disliked: malgré le nettoyage effectué par le service d'entretien, il reste à refaire l'installation car une fois eau glacé une fois bouillante. Après c'est clair ce n'est pas un camping 5 étoiles.

Liked: Ideally situated close to the town and away from the noise of the main road. Check in was quick and easy and the pitches were flat and shaded. The site had a calm and chilled vibe. No loud music or children running about. The bar had a lovely view of the lake and was so relaxed in the evenings. We wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights.

Disliked: Shower block was very crowded. Each night, the six showers were full and there was a queue of at least 8 people before me. They were quite dated and could do with a little refurbishment.

Liked: Leuke staanplaatsen prima sfeer. Erg gezellig terrasje in de avond voor op de camping. Vriendelijk geholpen bij de receptie. We wilde nog een nachtje bij boeken en daar deden ze echt moeite voor. Ligging camping ideaal. 50 mtr van spar. 200 mtr van strand en centrum.

Disliked: Het sanitair is wel is waar oud maar werkt wel. Douches met gewone kranen dus geen druk knop. Heerlijk

Liked: Les gestionnaires sont toujours à l'écoute des commentaires des clients. C'est un camping très accueillant qui offre de nombreux avantages, tels que la proximité de nombreux magasins. La vue imprenable sur le lac est idéale pour la pêche. L'emplacement était propre et bien entretenu. De plus, il est louable de voir les gestionnaires faire le tour du camping avec un sac pour ramasser les déchets.

Disliked: Beaucoup de gens ne respectent pas la propreté, le bruit tardif, l'hygiène des toilettes et de la salle de bain 🤢 #incivilité #respect

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.
