  • 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.

What customers say

Great spot near the beach and town, many with lake views. Staff are a real highlight, super friendly. Facilities are clean but a bit dated. Sanitary blocks need work though – hot water and cleanliness are recurring grumbles, and a few found electricity unreliable.

Liked Wunderschön am See gelegen oder terrassiert oberhalb, in wenigen Minuten am Meer. Sehr weitläufig und nachts sehr ruhig. Mag in der Hochsaison anders sein, zumal die Stadt sehr laute und lange Aktivitäten für die Touristen am Stand abhält.

Toiletten und Duschen sind zwar in die Jahre gekommen, aber alles mehrmals täglich absolut sauber gereinigt. Heißes Wasser beim Duschen weitgehend da, beim Abwasch nur ein Heißwasserhahn zentral vorhanden ist.

Am Ort werden diverse Aktivitäten angeboten (Klippenspringen, tauchen, schnorcheln, wandern), ob diese direkt vom Campingplatzanbieter sind, weiß ich nicht. Supermarkt und chinesischer Vollsortimenter unmittelbar vor Ort.

Disliked Das ehemals vorhandene Restaurant steht als "Lost place" mitten auf dem Platz. Der Ersatz an der Einfahrt ist zwar vorhanden und gut frequentiert, aber es werden nur Getränke und keine Speisen angeboten.


Platz ist in die Jahre gekommen und es bedarf eigentlich einer Auffrischung. Schön wäre, wenn die vielen abgestorbenen Bäume durch Neuanpflanzungen ersetzt würden.

Preis ist für das Angebotene hoch. Das WLAN ist nur punktuell und am Eingang vorhanden.

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.
