  • Swimming pool, playground, bar and restaurant serving local dishes
Wooded peace in a capital city? Admittedly this place stopped being a capital and a city several hundred years ago, but all around Camping de Besalú and the surrounding area there’s a sense of history stretching back thousands, even millions of years. Comfortable stays in the present day will be foremost in your mind, and they’re foremost for the team behind this site tucked away in the wooded countryside of Catalonia, about five minutes’ drive from the medieval town of Besalú. The bright and clean bathrooms have roomy sinks, steaming hot showers with disabled access and baby-changing facilities. Guests are welcome to grill up alfresco feasts on barbecues (try the botifara sausage… it’s unbeatable), but if they’d rather someone else did the hard work, the restaurant and bar serves a broad menu of snacks and local specialities. With an eye for detail, the restaurant terrace looks out onto the swimming pool, so you can be sipping a sundowner or cradling a coffee while the kids splash about. There’s also a playground to keep them busy and a pétanque court for family matches or international playoffs. Once the capital of a province that stretched into France and regarded as one of Spain’s best-preserved medieval towns, Besalú has all the modern stuff like shops, supermarkets and bakeries to keep you stocked up and stuffed with tasty local pastries.

Liked: We only spent one night at the camping, passibg through Besalu on our way to Sweden. Very friendly staff, leafy and shaded pitches. The kids loved the pool and it was only a few minutes drive from the town, which is well worth a visit.

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Em va agradar tot en general,va ser com anar a un camping de tota la vida. Tranquil amb piscina, restaurant, billar, dards, pingpong, inclus el camping te bicicletas per als clients per si volen fer una volta amb bici, ara estan montan un petit gimnas, spinning, heliptica o banc de pessas amb varies funcions. El personal del camping son unes persones meravelloses amb un tracte immillorable. La parcela bastan grossa, comanche, carpa 3x3 i el cotxe tot i aixo encara hi havia espai per les nenes jugar, ens varen deixar decidir quina parcela voliem, la llum a peu de parcela i l'aigua a uns 7-10 metres. Els lavabos i dutxes son amples i sempre estan nets, aigua calenta a totes hores. La piscina sempre neta i amb amaques per estar més còmode. Al restaurant posen musica a les tardes vespre i alguna pelicula a la nit. Tenen un mini supermercat alguns productes bàsics per poder comprar, si el demanes et fan pa per el mati. Nosaltres varem arribar i no trobaven la nostre reserva, en res en varem fer anar a la parcela i mentres nosaltres montavem lo nostre ells ja varen trobar la reserva. La gent del camping el ambient de alla era super tranquil, les nenes varen fer amics enseguida.

Disliked: Nomes una cosa i aqui ni el camping ni el personal, tenen res a veure. Varem coincidir amb un grup de joven que la liaben cada nit, amb uns crits un vocabulari que tela i fent uns sorolls a altes hores de la nit.

Local attractions

Besalú's also worth a wander for its Jewish ritual bath (ask at the tourist office), its impressive river bridge and Micromundi, a somewhat fab little collection of miniatures and microminiatures. If the pool and the river views have you hankering for some watery antics, drive 20 minutes to Banyoles for swimming, fishing, kayaking and windsurfing on its lake. You can plunge into history here too, with a look at the town’s Neolithic village, prehistoric caves and Roman ruins. It’s half an hour to Sadernes for walks through forested gorges and dips in dazzlingly clear river pools, and the same to Olot, centre of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park whose green cratered peaks rear up suddenly from the surroundings. Head up Montsacopa in the centre of town for cracking views and walks down inside the crater (fret not, it’s been dead for the past 100,000 years). Depending on whether you want wide sandy beaches and sun loungers, deserted rocky coves or wetland nature reserves, it’s between 45 minutes and an hour to various very fine spots along the coast. For a city fix, wall-enclosed Girona is well worth the 40-minute jaunt, as it's stacked with museums, galleries, lively streets and tasty Catalan treats.
