As well as Easter weekend itself, the week before Easter, known in Spanish as Semana Santa, is also very busy - booking in advance advised.
I haven't been to either of the camp sites you mention, but Camping Cadaques gets some pretty negative reviews. However, as a location Cadaques is lovely - still relatively unspoiled, lots of little alleyways with nice shops, bars and restaurants, and a must-see if you're interested in Dali - his house in Port Ligat is an easy walk from Cadaques, which featured in many of his paintings. L'Escala is more built up and less picturesque but still pleasant, and the extensive Roman ruins at L'Empurias are interesting. However the weather in April can be very changeable - we experienced everything from torrential rain to hot sunshine!

We were here in September a couple of years ago. The site is split on two sides of the road, we went on the right hand side which was flat, the left from memory was up hill with the swimming pool being at the top, another small pool on our side was next to the bar area. Pitches are marked at ground level, a bit close to the neighbours but that seems to be the nature of Spanish sites we have found and sandy underfoot good for the ants! Good position with a flat walk to the beach,small supermarketshops, restaurants and bars. We didn't use the onsite bar/restaurant other than for our 'welcome' drink and tapas. Toilet block seemed okay at all times used. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The trip back to town is quite hilly, a bit rollercoaster like for us on our bikes (we have a MH) but if you have a car no problem. There was a very large market along the bay side on a Sunday when we were there and from the town the cycle/walk way to the roman ruins is fairly easy. We were returning last year but decided to give an ACSI site at L'Estartit a try and for us that was a better option, flatter with routes for cycling and walking, straight out to the beach and town. We haven't done Cadaques either, but gave an ACSI site at Roses a miss as it was too 'cosy' for us. L Escala is a site we would return to.
