Bed & Bike Friendly:Cycle around the country and discover its campsites

All the campsites with the Bed & Bike Friendly seal are located in the province of Girona. They are ideal because they offer a wide variety of activities and services for lovers of bike rides and routes. Among the myriad kilometres you can ride on two wheels, we recommend:

• Vies Verdes (Green Ways) Routes in Catalonia
• Pyrenees Routes EuroVelo8
• General Cycling Routes Camping Route
• MTB tracks, make your own MTB track

Here at Campings de Girona, we know what makes cyclists long to take unforgettable routes, and that’s why we offer a wide variety of campsites so that everyone who loves the routes along the Costa Brava or the Pyrenees can enjoy the stunning landscape of these places.

The 19 campsites we have with this seal of approval are found in various towns in the heart of the Costa Brava, in perfect locations for excursions in the Pyrenees of Catalonia and France. They all offer tools and services for a perfect cycling holiday, such as storage space and rooms for bicycles, tools and areas to dry cycling gear. In addition, you have the option of booking a single night at any of these campsites if you're following a cycling route.

The Catalonia Pyrenees Route is a circular route, designed for all types of people and perfect for going at your own pace. You have to distinguish between the four different sections correctly. The first is Voló-Palafrugell, second Palafrugell-Olot, the third Olot-Arles and finally Arles-El Voló.

If you do the second section, you will pass through towns like Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Sant Antoni de Calonge, where you can book your stay at Camping Sant Pol, in Sant Feliu de Guíxols where, besides the guided cycle routes, access to the green ways and cycling services, there is also a wonderful scenery of bays and family beaches with fine sand and turquoise waters, or Camping Valldaro, in Platja d’ Aro or Camping Internacional de Calonge in Sant Antoni de Calonge, which is close to the mountains and has a large beach with a wide range of activities in the campsite itself or in the town.

You can also spend a few days at Camping Interpals, in Pals, or go to L’ Estartit and sleep in one of the best campsites on the whole route, Camping Les Medes.

Besides the four itineraries mentioned above, there are some additional routes. One of these routes passes through Peralada and Figueres, near Garriguella, where there is Camping Vell Empordà, a perfect place for those attracted as much by the sea as by the mountain. One hour (by bicycle) from Garriguella is the delightful village of Sant Pere Pescador, with two perfect campsites for this kind of itinerary, Camping Aquarius and Camping Las Dunas.

Camping Castell Park in Vall-llobrega is right at the start of the Green Way that joins Palamós with Palafrugell along the Ruta del Tren Petit. Camping La Siesta is at the other end of this route, in Calella de Palafrugell.

The Castelló d’Empúries- Empuriabrava- Roses route allows you to discover the historic centre of Castelló d’Empúries, where you will also find Camping Laguna, an ideal location for a couple of restful days. If visiting this area, you can spend a few days in Roses and reserve your stay at Camping Joncar Mar or Camping Salatà, or visit the lovely church of Sant Pere in the town of Albanyà (25 km from Figueres) and spend the night at Camping Bassegoda Park.

Make sure that your plans include a cycling route along the coast, visiting Blanes and Lloret de Mar and sleep at Camping Bella Terra or Camping Solmar.  Both offer a cycle hire service, tools and guided tours around the area. Camping Lloret Blau and Camping Sènia Tucan in Lloret de Mar offer the opportunity to take guided cycle excursions in their green areas, in addition to a bicycle hire service. 

If you don’t like having to choose and want everything included in the Bed & Bike Friendly route, you can enjoy the best cycle routes along the Costa Brava, the mountains and the Pyrenees with your friends and family because sometimes, you really can have it all!
