  • Peaceful rural site in a quiet part of the Costa Brava
  • On a shaded hill a 100-metre stroll from a sandy beach
  • Bar-restaurant, playground, TV room and shop
What a whale of a time will be had at Camping Moby Dick near Catalonia's Girona. For it's in a lovely locale across from the Spanish seafront, and only 100 metres or so from a scenic and sandy Spanish beach in the quiet coastal town of Calella de Palafrugell: if you yearn for the Costa Brava without heaving crowds, this should be a serene spot for you. Camping Moby Dick is small, rural and family run, welcoming families, solo wanderers and groups of friends, and with a peaceful vibe for chilled Costa Brava days. Pitches are on terraces on a small hill shaded by mature oak and pine trees, and some have sea views. The site is all set up to have most of what you'll need to stay put for quiet days, with a bar-restaurant, a TV room, a playground, a ping pong table, and a grocery shop selling fresh bread and fruit. The modern amenities include toilet blocks, showers and a laundry room.

What customers say

Great location near beach/village with shaded pitches. Clean facilities & friendly staff are highlights. Restaurant gets good reviews. Some found steep terrain tricky for bigger RVs, and a few noted dated or small/uneven sites.

Diana G.

Power optional grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Me gustó muchísimo la cercanía del camping a la playa, la limpieza general del camping y sobretodo lo espaciosos que son los terrenos. Si vas con tu perrito el trato es muy bueno también.

Disliked No me gustó la poca luz que había en las zonas de tiendas ya que el camino hacia los lavabos era oscuridad total.

Piet V.

Power optional grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked Het was een landelijke camping in de bossen gelegen wat wij fijn vonden.
Ook hadden wij een mooi uitzicht.
De douches en toiletten waren ruim en heel schoon. Verder wel erg simpel.

Disliked De paden, wegen zouden iets beter mogen.

Laurent L.

Power optional grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Plenty of shade. Clean toilets and showers.

Disliked It's on the side of a hill on dirt roads going up steeply. I would no want to drive up those slopes on a rainy day.
Pitches are too small.
Overcrowded in August.
The beaches are tiny and overcrowded.
The restaurant is expensive and not very good. We asked for moules marinieres and we got curried mussels out of a packet. The portion of chips was so ridiculously small that we had to go back to our tent to cook dinner as we were still hungry.

Willem P.

Power optional grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked De camping . Een echte terrassen camping mooie plekken overal water tap punten
Bomen voor een heerlijke plek.
Door de bomen soms even improviseren hoe de caravan neer te zetten
Ook de ligging van de camping ideaal dicht bij strand en centrum super

Disliked Geen warm water voor de afwas.
Maar geen groot probleem dan terug naar de basis en water koken voor de afwas. Uiteindelijk is het camping life

Local attractions

The eight (!) award-winning beaches of Calella de Palafrugell around Camping Moby Dick should keep sand and serenity seekers content for some time, but if you want to up the watery ante at any point, you can join the diving school at Port Pelegri beach, hire kayaks at Canadell beach, or take a sailing excursion from the beach of Port Bo – or do the whole heap in between sandy days on beach towels (recommended). Two walking trails to take you round the area are within easy reach of the site, one from Sant Roc to Golfet beach, and another from the centre of Calella de Palafrugell to the village of Llafranc. For cycling, access the local Via Verde, connecting Saita Margarita to the village of Palamós, a tiptop stop in itself for its swimming, sailing and windsurfing bay. Garden fans will go gaga at the nearby and famed botanical gardens of Cap Roig, spreading down terraces from the castle of the Cap Roig estate to the sea and lauded as one of the very best gardens on the whole of the Med. Spanish and international artists exhibit their works at the gardens during the summer months.
