  • Family site in Arenys de Mar with direct access to Cavalló beach
  • Golf course 15 minutes’ drive and Barcelona attractions 40 minutes
  • Terrace restaurant, bar, outdoor pool and play area on site
Coming to Catalonia and hoping to spend a good deal of time on the beach? Book in at Camping El Toro Azul and you’ll be able to stroll out onto the sand whenever you fancy it – this family-friendly touring site in Arenys de Mar has direct access to Cavalló beach. This is a nifty location indeed for a beach break – the area just by the site is pretty peaceful and suitable for laidback family days, but it’s easy to stroll a little further along to the section by the marina, which has a good cluster of restaurants and bars, along with watersports centres for paddleboarding, kayaking, jetskiing and the like. The centre of town is also easily walkable (about 20 minutes) for shops and more places to eat and drink. The beach may well be the main focus here, but it’s not your only option for a day of activity – the mountainous area just inland is great for hiking and cycling, and days out in Barcelona can be on the cards too (the city is about 40 minutes’ drive away, or a little over an hour by train). Whether you ever get to Barcelona is another matter of course… in fact, this site is very conducive to lazy days pottering between the beach, the open-air pool and the on-site restaurant and bar – perhaps with the odd detour to the play park or the pétanque court if you’ve got active kids with you. On the practical side, facilities like showers (with constant hot water), a laundry service and wifi should mean everything runs smoothly during your holiday.

What customers say

Great spot near the beach! Reception is friendly. Showers, toilets & pool are super clean and spacious. Some guests found poolside bar staff a bit rude, teens noisy, and pitches cramped. Train tracks nearby can also be noisy.

Liked The receptionist. Clean and fully functional toilet block.Close to the beach and the 2 decent bars on the beach that welcomed you.The pitch was ok.

Disliked This is not a very nice site for various reasons. The unpleasant bar staff are just outright ignorant towards the tourist,had 1 coffee there and didn't go back.The site has a fair amount of permanent statics,with big families in them.The noise is horrendous, the decibel level is high from 09.00 to gone past midnight.Boys riding round on electric pit bikes, kids of all ages shouting and screaming along with the parents. I was booked and payed for 7 nights,I lasted 4 and left.

Marleen W.

Powered sand travel trailer campsite (XL, premium)

Liked De locatie aan het strand en het formaat van de plek. En de camping werd keurig netjes gehouden. En de kinderen hebben genoten van het zwembad.
En de bomen gaven bijna de hele dag schaduw, wat erg welkom is bij zulke temperaturen.
Vanaf 00 uur moet de camping stil zijn en dat wordt goed gehandhaafd.
En super lekker gegeten bij het Italiaanse restaurant bij de ingang.

Disliked Hoe de gasten het sanitair achter laten. Het zou echt een verbetering zijn als er 2x per dag schoongemaakt zou worden.

Dat we dichtbij het zwembad stonden en daardoor van vrijdag t/m zondag ook dichtbij harde muziek. Gelukkig was dat na het weekend een stuk minder.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bedankt voor uw beoordeling Marleen. Fijn dat u en uw kinderen van het zwembad en de schaduw genoten hebben, en dat het restaurant beviel. We merken uw opmerkingen over het sanitair op; ons team werkt voortdurend aan verbeteringen. Het geluid bij het zwembad tijdens het weekend wordt regelmatig gemonitord en strikt gecontroleerd. We hopen u weer te mogen verwelkomen.

Leigh C.

Powered sand travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Close to the sea and the beach was lovely. Nice coffee served in the bar by the pool. Nearby restaurants on the beach and at the port were good.

Disliked Noise from the road and the trains. Toilets weren’t always very clean. Not much to do in the local area and not made to feel very welcome either with things like tourists go home graffiti on the wall next to the site. We needed a European plug to access the electric rather than the standard socket that had worked all across France and Switzerland. Maybe this is standard in Spain. WiFi was useless and phone signal not much better. We ended up leaving several days earlier than planned.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Leigh for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the beach and our facilities. Some issues you mention, like road and train noise or graffiti, are unfortunately external to the campsite. Our toilets are cleaned several times daily, and electricity in Spain requires the blue CEE plug by regulation. We are continuously working to improve WiFi and coverage. We regret you left early and hope you will give us another chance in the future.

Liked Heel mooi grote plaats voor de Camper.
Fijn zwembad en leuke pizzeria .
Toiletten en douches perfect.

Disliked Personeel bij horeca zwembad en bestellen broodjes niet aardig, zeer nors en onvriendelijk.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Beste familie Toonen, hartelijk dank voor uw verblijf bij ons en voor het delen van uw ervaring. We zijn blij dat u zo tevreden was met de ruime kampeerplaats, het zwembad, de pizzeria en vooral de nette toiletten en douches.

We nemen uw opmerking over de bediening in de horeca en bij het broodjesbestellen serieus. Uw feedback helpt ons om de service op alle niveaus te verbeteren. Het doet ons deugd dat u ons receptiepersoneel als zeer vriendelijk heeft ervaren, dat is precies de gastvrijheid die wij overal in de camping willen uitstralen.

Wij hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen en u een nog betere ervaring te bieden.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Het Campingteam

Chantelle E.

Powered sand travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Close to beach and a lovely restaurant by the sites entrance. Staff in reception were welcoming and helpful. Other lovely restaurants along the beach outside of the site.

Disliked Staff in poolside bar were rude and not at all welcoming. Actually put us off ordering from there. Lots of loud music and shouting/screaming from groups of teenage boys around the pool. Description states it is a quiet site after 11pm but large gangs of kids hanging around the toilet block until well after midnight. They were regularly running in and out of the toilets screaming and shouting. Toilets and showers were not cleaned regularly enough and were grubby. Photos of site are misleading, there is a high orange wall around most of the campsite and the pitches are small and crammed together. Feels like you’re in a prison yard. Also, the train track is right alongside the wall of the site, so lots of noise throughout the day and night. Not many shops or any life near the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for sharing. We want to clarify that the wall you mentioned is only a small section, chosen specifically to provide privacy and security. This aspect was considered when selecting the site, so we don’t fully understand your complaint about it. Additionally, the campsite is surrounded by two lively coastal towns with many shops, both just a 10-minute walk away. We regret that your experience with the poolside bar staff and the nighttime atmosphere did not meet your expectations.

Local attractions

Beach and watersports may well fill much of your time, but it’s worth noting there are more activity options close by as well – perhaps you’d like a game of tennis (five minutes’ walk), a round of golf (15 minutes’ drive) or the chance to clamber up into the trees at Activ Natura Parc d’Aventura (20 minutes). Walks, too – the Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor (20 minutes) is a lovely place for a stroll among coastal woodlands, with several Neolithic and Iberian historic sites to look out for along the way. Arty types may like to follow the sculpture trail at Bosc Artístic d’Ernest Borràs i Berta Julivert (25 minutes), while more intrepid visitors go further inland to the mountains around Montseny (45 minutes). Whether you’re a first-timer or a frequent visitor, Barcelona (40 minutes, or take the train) is always worth a trip – the city is packed with colourful attractions, markets, museums, shops and heaps of excellent food and drink.
