  • Family-oriented site in scenic surroundings
  • Peaceful setting away from noise and pollution
  • Beauty salon, pool, beach bar and restaurant
You'll be able to spend a Spanish holiday far away from noise, pollution and crowds here: Camping El Portús is tucked away on a deep blue and stunning bay (peruse pics now, please), among jaw-dropping scenery between sea and mountains. To take yourself exploring, you won't have far to go to reach urban civilisation, as it's a 20-minute drive from here to the ancient city centre of Cartagena, and about 45 minutes to province capital Murcia. This stunning site comes with all manner of additions to keep you soothed, smoothed and stress free, like a beauty salon, sports areas including pétanque and tennis courts, an excellent playground and a spectacular pool: again, peruse pics now, please… You don't need to leave the site or food and drinks, either, as it has a restaurant, supermarket and – huzzah – a beach bar.

What customers say

Great spots, a ripper beach & pool. Staff are legends, the scenery's a stunner. A few bits need a facelift (toilets, water), shop hours are a bugger, and watch out for the cats. Still, most reckon they'll be back.

Powered gravel and concrete site (large, shaded)

Liked De lieve buurtjes,, de plek met uitzicht, schoon toiletgebouw, hulp en persoonlijke aandacht van de crew en het personeel in het restaurant

Disliked De afschuwelijke wachtlopende surveillerende mannen/ niet hen persoonlijk maar de militaristische kleding voelde enorm geïntimideerd en zeker niet relax om hen steeds te moeten zien,,

pas bij aanvang te horen dat het niet toegestaan was naakt op de camping te zijn/ wat wel op de website was vermeld ,,zwaar ruk!!

de prijs die bij verlengen €185,- meer was dan de eerste week,in het zelfde hoogseizoen ,de willekeur van de camping prijs ,die was niet eenduidig

Prijs van menu
Menu enkel in het Spaans leesbaar
Restaurant boven niet in gebruik

het vele werk verkeer en hun af en aan rijden van materiaal,,

Supermarkt
Aanbod van vers fruit en groenten was nihil
Geen biologische producten
Geen camping spullen zoals haringen, scheerlijn , zwemschoentjes ( die een must zijn op de camping)

Alejandro R.

Powered gravel and concrete site

Liked El tamaño de las parcelas es buenísimo, sobre todo las de color verde, toma de luz muy cerca, muchos wc, buena piscina, y una playa que es una delicia.
Veronica la recepcionista es un amor de persona.

Disliked Que no haya fuentes por el camping o toma de agua en las parcelas, hay que ir a por
Agua al principio del camping al lado de recepción. Los wc un poco anticuados, excepto los de la
Piscina. El horario de la tienda muy pequeño. Y no hay señal de tv para las caravanas a no ser que lleves una parabólica de 2.000€

Local attractions

As it's betwixt mountains and sea, sporty options across a range of levels and terrains are easy to find: sailing, windsurfing and diving are close to hand, as are rock climbing, hiking and golfing at several local courses. Camping El Portús has agreements with several local companies offering activities at discounted prices, so get prepped to save some euros and to get mucho active. You can't come to these parts and not have a day or two in cracking Cartagena, founded by the Carthaginians way back in the BCs. It's been under Roman, Phoenician, Byzantine and Moorish rule since then (not all at once), giving the city rich pickings for those geeky about historical highlights… Have a good long look at the Roman theatre of Carthago Nova, and the 13th-century cathedral remains with Roman mosaic floor in the crypt if you're of this bent. More modernly, Cartagena has several Art Nouveau buildings well worth a look, as well as a naval museum and a shelter museum from the Spanish Civil War. The mining town of La Unión is half an hour's drive from the site and Murcia is within 45 minutes.
