  • 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.

Liked Goed gelopen aan de receptie. Fijne bedjes aan het zwembad, met parasol.
Goede trein verbinding om naar Barcelona te gaan.

Disliked In de avond was er animatie in het spaans wat erg hard over de camping ging. Tot zeker 0.00u.
De douches waren erg vies.
De weg naar zee is goed te lopen onder het bruggetje maar erg veel afval en stank.
De plek was ook erg smal. Met onze camper konden we het luifel niet eens helemaal uitdraaien. En het raam aan de andere kant kon niet open omdat die bij de buren onder het luifel zat.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hallo Maartje, bedankt voor uw uitgebreide feedback.
Fijn dat de ontvangst, de ligbedden bij het zwembad en de treinverbinding naar Barcelona bevallen zijn.
Een paar punten willen we graag toelichten. In de zomer hebben we elke zaterdag livemuziek met verschillende genres en events, het hoort bij de zomersfeer hier, al begrijpen we dat het niet ieders voorkeur is. Over de plek: die was inderdaad wat smal, en op zulke momenten kunnen we u altijd naar een ruimere parzelle verplaatsen, het volstaat om het bij de receptie aan te geven. De douches krijgen gedurende de dag meerdere uitgebreide schoonmaakbeurten. En de weg naar het strand valt buiten ons terrein en onder de bevoegdheid van de gemeente, al sturen we op eigen kosten een schoonmaakbedrijf om te helpen.
Mocht u iets willen bespreken, dan kunt u ons rechtstreeks bereiken via onze kanalen.

Yo lo recomiendo a todas las personas

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hallo Gerhard, vielen Dank für die 10/10!
Freut uns sehr, dass Sie alles vorgefunden haben, was man braucht. Und der Tipp mit den Stahlheringen ist gut: unser Sandboden ist fest, da helfen stabile Heringe tatsächlich weiter.
Bis zum nächsten Mal!

Lovely vibrant campsite, but book early to reserve a pitch.

From the manager: Thank you so much for this lovely review and the 9/10!
Really glad reception could help after a stressful journey and that even fellow guests pitched in. That's the kind of atmosphere we want here. Great advice on booking early too, especially in July!
See you next time!

Disliked De trein dicht bij de camping

From the manager: Hallo Anne, bedankt voor de recensie.
Fijn dat de camping als vriendelijk en rustig is ervaren. Over de trein: we begrijpen dat het even wennen kan zijn, maar de meeste gasten merken dat het snel naar de achtergrond verdwijnt. En het voordeel is dat je er zo mee in Barcelona bent zonder de auto te hoeven verplaatsen.
Tot de volgende keer!

Liked Good sized earth/sand pitches with EHU, Good sized showers with plenty of hot water and handy large washing machines available.
Handy snack bar/bar (I believe seperately run) alongside a lovely pool area.
Gated access to the beach which was lovely to stroll along
A cycle ride away from the Port and a bit further to bigger supermarkets

Disliked Not actually a dislike but quite noisy at times being alongside the busy road

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Donne, thank you so much for the 8/10 and such a complete review!
Glad the pitches, showers, pool area and beach access all hit the mark. The cycle ride to the Port of Arenys is a great tip, the fresh fish restaurants there are well worth it. And fair point on the road, it's part of our location, though most guests find it fades into the background after the first night.
See you next time!

Courte mais très bonne étape.

Liked Positionnement du camping, la propreté des sanitaires, et surtout l'accueil du jeune homme à la réception. La piscine par ces fortes chaleurs. Le restaurant Italien au dessus de la réception.

Disliked Le seul bémol surement technique, en dehors des heures d'ouvertures de la réception 8h le matin le portail et la barrière s'ouvres automatiquement avec la lecture de la plaque d'immatriculation. Et bien pour nous le système n'a pas fonctionné et nous avons poiroter devant 1Heure. Pas de chance!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Bonjour Gérard, merci beaucoup pour ce retour détaillé!
Ravi que l'emplacement, les sanitaires, la piscine et le restaurant italien aient été à la hauteur. On transmettra vos compliments au jeune homme de la réception, ça fait toujours plaisir.
Pour le portail, toutes nos excuses pour cette attente d'une heure, ce n'est clairement pas normal. Le système de lecture de plaques peut parfois avoir des ratés et on va vérifier ce qui a pu se passer pour éviter que ça se reproduise.
À la prochaine !

Liked Had a lovely stay at camping El Toro Azul. Nice large private pitch Well kept campsite right next to the beach.
Nice swimming pool with plenty of sunbeds that’s quite quiet in the week but not so much weekends.
Lovely reception staff.

Disliked Two problems with the site. A commuter rail line right next to site that runs every 20 minutes from 6 am till midnight, but can not do a lot about that.
The worse thing we found was visiting the snack bar. The snack bar waiter Antonio was rude, unfriendly and impolite. He really needs to find another job which is not customer focused. It seems to be because we are English but who knows.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Paul, thank you for your honest review.
Really glad the pitch, the site and the reception team left a good impression. That's exactly the experience we aim for.
Regarding the snack bar, we're sorry you had that experience. The bar is run independently but we take this kind of feedback seriously because it affects the overall stay. We'll address it directly. No guest should ever feel treated differently, regardless of where they come from.
Hope the good outweighed the bad and we'd love to welcome you back.
See you next time!

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.
