Best Eurocamp sites in Spain: fun holiday parks for affordable family breaks

Set in subtropical gardens with direct access to the beach, Playa Montroig has pretty much everything you could possibly want for a family holiday in the sun.

There’s a brilliant pool complex with four pools, five waterslides, and a dedicated toddler area with lots of water games and jets. The site also has a fully-equipped fitness centre, tennis courts, and a crazy golf course, as well as five playground areas. Need to refuel after all that fun? Head to one of the four bars and three restaurants on site, or pick something up from the bakery or supermarket. 

They even provide bedding and linens for you and make up the beds ready for your arrival which is a huge help if you prefer to travel light.

Expect the unexpected at Sanguli thanks to fun features like an African-themed pool complete with a menagerie of spraying animals. The pool is just one of four complexes on site, each one offering something special like a waterfall, massaging bubbles, and even a swim-up bar.

If you can drag yourself out of the water then you’ll also find a great range of sporting activities to try as well as a crazy golf course and trampolining nets. And with four bars and four restaurants on site you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out, and you can stock up on snacks at the on-site supermarket and mini market.

Sanguli is a great option if you want a short airport transfer - it's just 15 minutes from Reus Airport so it's easy to travel to from the UK. Several budget airlines offer flights from UK hubs to Reus Airport throughout the year.

We love the fact it sits between Salou and Cambrils, making it very well placed for day trips along the sun-splashed Costa Dorada.

Internacional de Calonge is a lively site that’s perfect for active families. You’ll find swimming pools, playgrounds and loads of sports to play, and the site also has its own beach where you can try out a range of watersports.

When you stay here you can also enjoy all the facilities at the Cala Gogo site that’s just a short walk away. And if you want to soak up a bit of Spanish culture then Benedormiens Castle is around a 10-minute drive away, and you can reach the ancient city of Girona in 40 minutes. 

Playa Joyel is Eurocamp’s only site on Spain’s northern Green Coast and it is well worth a visit to experience the stunning location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Mountains. The site has direct access to a gorgeous sandy beach as well as a simple pool complex with a family pool and a kids’ pool side by side.

There are some great facilities at Playa Joyel, including a bar, two restaurants, a supermarket, an ice cream parlour, and even a hairdressers. The site is also great for active kids, with two outdoor playgrounds, an indoor play area, tennis courts, and a kids’ club for 5 to 12-year-olds. There’s even an on-site animal park that opens up twice a week which kids of all ages will enjoy.  

A short walk from sister site International de Calonge, Cala Gogo is another big, lively site that the whole family will love. With stunning views of the Med and direct access to a private beach, you can really make the most of its stunning Costa Brava location.

There are two on-site family pools and a children’s pool (with awesome sea views from the waterslides!), as well as playgrounds and plenty of sporting activities like tennis and basketball. In the evenings there are discos and shows for the whole family to enjoy after dinner and drinks at one of the site’s bars and restaurants.

With a name like Bella Terra, meaning ‘Beautiful land’, it’s no surprise that this site is set in a gorgeous location full of palm trees and vibrant flowers, with panoramic views of the Catalonian coast. It’s a great site for busy families, with a pool complex that includes a family pool and a fun children’s splash playground with a bucket drop and lots of slides. There’s also a playground and sporting activities available, as well as a kids’ club for children aged 6 to 10.

There’s also plenty to see and do in the local village of Blanes, and after a busy day you can relax with dinner at one of Bella Terra’s restaurants and drinks at the bar.

If you’re looking for a car-free family holiday then Vilanova Park is the answer, with a regular coach service running between the site and Barcelona airport. You can also use this service for day trips to explore the city itself.

Of course, there’s plenty to do at the site if you don’t want to spend all your time on day trips. The pool complex features three family pools, and two toddler pools (with incredible sea views from the waterslides), as well as a solarium, a sauna, a jacuzzi, a whirlpool and spa. There are also kids’ clubs available for all children of all ages, a playground, a crazy golf course and a variety of sporting activities to keep everyone busy.  

This relaxed toddler-friendly site has a (bizarre but beautiful) ancient Roman theme that encompasses themed landscaping and free entertainment in an impressive Roman amphitheatre. Despite the look and feel of the resort, the facilities are all lovely and modern, offering fun in the sun for the whole family. 

The pool complex has four pools, six slides, and a sauna, as well as a spa offering everything from manicures to massages. There are also kids’ clubs available and lots of activities to enjoy including a crazy golf course, five playground areas, and discos in the evening. And when the family gets hungry you can head to one of the site’s bars and restaurants, or pick something up from the supermarket.
