Why stay at a family campsite on the Costa Brava

If there is one way to stay on the Costa Brava with kids that stands out from all the rest, it is a family campsite. Family campsites on the Costa Brava have evolved into authentic holiday towns: swimming pools with slides, kids’ clubs, playgrounds, sports courts and direct access to the sea. Children have a great time, adults can relax and everyone ends up wanting to come back the following year.

Whether you are looking for a campsite for families with kids with every comfort or prefer a quieter, more natural option, on the Costa Brava you will find what you need. From large resorts with their own water parks to more intimate campsites surrounded by pine forests and close to hidden coves. For families with young children, campsites with peaceful pools and daytime entertainment are often the ideal choice. For families with older children, campsites with direct access to coves and adventure activities offer a more intense experience.
