Hi All,

We are heading to Costa Brava in late August, and would like a nice campsite to stay at.

Criteria as follows

Walking distance to beach (say max of a mile)
Small site, we don't need entertainment etc
Nice views if possible
Cheap - really don't want to be spending €50+ a night

If anyone has any little gems, it would be great to hear about them.

Somewhere arounds Roses area would be perfect.

Thanks,

Ed

Try Mas Nou at Empuriabrava. Smallish site by Spanish standards, all the entertainment/sports/restaurant/ noise area is across a quiet road. Campsite has large(ish) pitches, immaculate sanitary blocks continually being cleaned and polished, free wifi and will
take Camping Cheques in the period you will be there.

Fantastic new cycle paths around the town and to Roses which is about 30 minutes by bike on flat "voie vertes".

Buy your cheques from France, before May 31,and they are only €15 or under £12

Great, that looks just the ticket.

I will be taking my bike, but I won't be cycling on any flat routes :)

How do the camping cheques work? Do I just buy one per night?

First of all go to
Silver Card
and sign up for a Silver card only (£3.50 p&p)

once you have received it go to

french site

and load on the number of cheques.

A cheque entitles you to
Unit + car + electric + showers + 2 people

for each night

Hi we drive down to Spain every year and stay a site called Camping Playa Brava, it is a campsite on the beach (access through a gate).
There are local cycle routes, towards the end of August it starts getting much quieter.
Worth a look for you I think.

That looks really nice as well, do you know if they take camping cheques or anything similar?
