Wooded peace in a capital city? Admittedly this place stopped being a capital and a city several hundred years ago, but all around Camping de Besalú and the surrounding area there’s a sense of history stretching back thousands, even millions of years. Comfortable stays in the present day will be foremost in your mind, and they’re foremost for the team behind this site tucked away in the wooded countryside of Catalonia, about five minutes’ drive from the medieval town of Besalú. The bright and clean bathrooms have roomy sinks, steaming hot showers with disabled access and baby-changing facilities. Guests are welcome to grill up alfresco feasts on barbecues (try the botifara sausage… it’s unbeatable), but if they’d rather someone else did the hard work, the restaurant and bar serves a broad menu of snacks and local specialities. With an eye for detail, the restaurant terrace looks out onto the swimming pool, so you can be sipping a sundowner or cradling a coffee while the kids splash about. There’s also a playground to keep them busy and a pétanque court for family matches or international playoffs. Once the capital of a province that stretched into France and regarded as one of Spain’s best-preserved medieval towns, Besalú has all the modern stuff like shops, supermarkets and bakeries to keep you stocked up and stuffed with tasty local pastries.

What customers say

Friendly staff, lovely setting near Besalú. Pool, spacious pitches, hot showers a hit. Downsides: dated washrooms, cleanliness concerns, few motorhome disposal points. Road can be tricky but scenic. Some noise and WiFi hiccups reported.

Power optional grass and gravel tent or RV campsite

Liked L'environnement et la proximité de l'objet de notre voyage.

Disliked Accueil compliqué car le monsieur ne parlait que Catalan : il faut chercher car le monsieur ne parle pas du wifi, ni des heures d'ouverture du restaurant, ni des centres d'intérêts autour etc. Il n'y a pas de supérette. Le camping a des résidents et certains logements sont dans un état déplorables...Les sanitaire sont vétustes, la buanderie où on peut faire la vaisselle sentait la remontée d'égout à en vomir. Le bar Restaurant qui fait payer 13 euros des pizzas surgelées minuscules !!!

Liked La ubicacion, el camino hasta el lugar y la atención de Marcelo

Disliked Creo que el dueño, ante la amenaza de lluvia debería informar que el terreno no absorbe el agua y es imposible que no entre agua a las tiendas. Pedimos alojarnos en una cabaña y aún con quejas por el descuento que solicitamos, accedió

Liked Ambiance très sympathique et familiale environnement agréable en pleine nature et très proche de la cité médiévale à visiter absolument. Un restaurant minimaliste mais bon marché. Et un bar.
Mais emplacements mal délimités pas de pb si peu de monde mais entassement des campeurs en affluence et la maintenance est minimaliste : propres mais fuites ici et la loquets des toilettes ne fonctionnant pas etc une impression de joyeux désordre.

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked La ubicación

Disliked Nos ofrecieron 2 parcelas para escoger desniveladas y encharcadas sin sol.Nos dijo que es resto no se podía porque había plantado césped. Los lavabos sucios, todo el camping sucio y abandonado... Por tanto, decidimos buscar otro camping y no quedarnos en este.

Liked Sehr freundlicher Empfang.
Abgelegener Stellplatz.
Da es geregnet hat, haben wir nicht all zuviel gesehen, die Einrichtungen waren geschlossen und wir hatten auch nur 1 Nacht Aufenthalt.
Würden aber trotzdem jederzeit wiederkommen.

Disliked Die Anfahrt ist etwas kurvig, es geht weit nach oben, aber ansonsten alles o.k.

From the manager: Señor Rene:
Nos duelen mucho sus comentarios. Mas cuando sus anotaciones no son verdad.
Usted tenia una reserva para el dia 6 de diciembre del 2025. Reserva para 14 dias. Habia pagado la comision de PITCHUP.
Nosotros estubimos esperandole con el albaran en recepcion para hacer el CHECK-IN durante todo el dia.
Usted no se presento (o al menos no paso por recpcion).
Usted no pago nada en nuestro camping ni por consiguente se le emitio ninguna factura.
No se como puede inducar le se cobre cantidad alguna. Esta usted mintiendo.
Si ha pagado algo en el camping, pedimos que presenta dicha nota o lo que hayamos emitido, porque puedo asegurar que usten no pago nada ni estubo en el camping.
Sentoimos ser tan bruscos, pero lo que usted informa con falsedades no lo podemos aceptar
Saludos

Outdated sanitary facilities without any decent motorhome services.

Power optional grass and gravel tent or RV campsite

Liked We liked the location as it was quite close to Besalu however it was quite a walk there and back, which is fine if you are fit and healthy. Not recommended for anyone with difficulty walking.
Very peaceful generally.
The owner/manager was very friendly.

Disliked The road was very noisy on Friday night.
The sanitary facilities are very, very old.
The restaurant and grocery store were not open.
No black water/ chemical toilet dump.
No grey water dump.
We were not offered the ACSI rate (not sure it should even be recommended by ACSI and was offered even though I overpaid.
WIFI did not work.

Local attractions

Besalú's also worth a wander for its Jewish ritual bath (ask at the tourist office), its impressive river bridge and Micromundi, a somewhat fab little collection of miniatures and microminiatures. If the pool and the river views have you hankering for some watery antics, drive 20 minutes to Banyoles for swimming, fishing, kayaking and windsurfing on its lake. You can plunge into history here too, with a look at the town’s Neolithic village, prehistoric caves and Roman ruins. It’s half an hour to Sadernes for walks through forested gorges and dips in dazzlingly clear river pools, and the same to Olot, centre of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park whose green cratered peaks rear up suddenly from the surroundings. Head up Montsacopa in the centre of town for cracking views and walks down inside the crater (fret not, it’s been dead for the past 100,000 years). Depending on whether you want wide sandy beaches and sun loungers, deserted rocky coves or wetland nature reserves, it’s between 45 minutes and an hour to various very fine spots along the coast. For a city fix, wall-enclosed Girona is well worth the 40-minute jaunt, as it's stacked with museums, galleries, lively streets and tasty Catalan treats.
