Winter camping getaways: comfort, adventure and tranquillity in Girona

1 de December de 2025

Going on a winter camping getaway is a different – and surprisingly comfortable – way to experience Girona, the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees. Far from the summer crowds, the province becomes a place of calm, nature and landscapes that change completely with the arrival of the cold. Whether you’re looking for quiet days surrounded by forests or craving snowy adventures, the campsites in Girona offer cosy accommodation and well-prepared services to enjoy the region at any time of year.

On the Costa Brava, the coastal paths are quieter and invite you to stroll without rushing. In La Garrotxa, volcanoes and beech forests take on a mysterious atmosphere when the fog settles over everything. And in the Pyrenees, the snow transforms valleys and villages into landscapes that look like they’ve been taken from a postcard. Winter is, without a doubt, a great time to rediscover Girona from a new perspective and reconnect with its natural and cultural surroundings.

Below, you’ll find a guide to enjoying winter camping with all the comforts.
