  • 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 beach & town, peaceful lake setting. Friendly welcome, spacious, shady pitches. Downsides: dated, dirty loos/showers, no hot water/loo roll. Some permanent residents & messy pitches noted.

Liked Mitarbeiter außer einer sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Stadt und Meer in der Nähe.
Waschmaschine und Trockner vorhanden.

Disliked Dieser Platz ist nicht für eine Familie mit Kindern geeignet, es wird an der neben Parzelle gekifft obwohl kinder draußen sitzen und spielen.
Abends gab es Ärger wenn sie was lauter in einer kleinen Gruppe gespielt habe.
Sanitäranlagen sollten dringend restauriert werden ,sind in einem katastrophalen Zustand, kaltes Wasser beim duschen und tropfenweise Wasser zu Verfügung.
Jugendgruppen im Feriencamp beleidigen die Kinder auf dem Campingplatz und verunreinigen die Sanitäranlagen zusätzlich. Spielplatz für Kinder nicht nutzbar, Schaukeln defekt.
Stromversorgung stark schwankend

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.
