  • 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 Location

Disliked The noise the fact that when we got there someone was parked in our pitch and the reception did nothing just moved us! There were a lot of youngsters there which were at a festival but their behaviour of noise was totally unacceptable , one few were clearly drugged up and were driving cars around the site, security told them once and that was it, in the morning 5.30am the same group were wheel spinning around the campsite still clearly drugged up ( definitely not just drunk the way they were acting) music at nightclub level! It was outright dangerous they could've killed someone if they had lost control . The actual site is run down and looks like a travellering gypsy site, the toilet block is dirty and very old and although the photos show people nice and spread out around the lake you are crammed in like sardines!

Liked Schöne zentrale Lage am See, Meer und zum Städtchen, Einkauf (Spar) und Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe, freundliches Personal, ausreichend großer Stellplatz.

Disliked Die Sanitäranlagen sind in die Jshre gekommen, sollen modernisiert werden, sind aber sauber. Der Mülleimer im Sanitärbereich dürfte gerne öfter geleert werden.

Camping tranquilo,instalaciones un poco viejas,personal amable.

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.
