Hi

Depends what you want, we usually stay at Mas Nou Empuriabrava  (commonly known in our family as Little Venice) near the Bay of Roses Costa Brava - not too many English on the site and have made many friends from different nationalities and we usually meet up for a few days as our holidays crossover.  There is a kids club, large swimming pool close to supermarket.  Only downside is it is about a 15minute drive to beach.

I think it can also be booked through the caravan club now.

Well after much searching and speaking to others we have booked 2 weeks at Las Dunas.

Great choice, great campsite one one of the nicest beaches in the world. Great place for kids too.

When driving down we usually stop in a Formule 1 motel, they are basic and clean. We have 3 kids (4, 6 and 10) and have driven down a couple of times now. The best formula is to drive 2 hours and stop for breakfast and a play, drive for 4 hours and stop for a couple of hours for lunch and a walk / play drive 4 hours and stop for dinner then drive a couple of hours and stop for the night (usually about 10pm) - you can get from Calais to Las Dunas in 1.5 days like this and have time to pitch the tent before it gets too late

We can't make up our mind as to whether to go to Ballena Allegre or Las Dunas.

I have seen good things said about both camp sites. Can anyone tell me whether one site is any better than the other?

Thanks

Chris
