Camping Resort Els Pins ^★★★★

Wir hatten 6 Häuser gebucht, die durchweg sauber waren und alle beieinander standen. 30 Schritte zum Meer, bewachte Anlage, allerdings in die Jahre gekommen. Nicht gefallen haben uns die unzähligen Katzen, die immer und überall ihre Reste hinterlassen, ins Haus kommen, wenn die Tür offen ist und... keine Scheu haben, nach Essen zu betteln.

I don't know what people actually like to get on camping resort?
We wouldn't back in this resort because we didn't like beach with small stones, our baby could not walk))).
But we really liked the camping itself:
Two bedroom log house with bathroom, living room and terrace, very clean, its old but convenient... for wnole family.
Shops are very handy for everyone, kids playground, very good receptionist.
You can drive just 5 minutes away to buy stuff in supermarkets.
Etc etc etc
A few nice towns around where you can drive for spending your holiday.

We went there with Vacansoleil in August 2016.
- price was not reflecting quality which was very poor!
- unfriendly unpleasant Vacansoleil resident
- pebble beach with very steep decent to the sea, dangerous for kids
- loud music until 2AM
- toilets bathrooms were dirty and old (crying for refurnishment)
-... not enough showers and toliets
- shop very poor, service unfriendly
- security at the entrance unfriendly
- tends were too close to each other (lack of minimum privacy)
- very uncomfortable place to park a car close to tent
- restaurants were disguisting - dirty and you didn't want to go there
- In Navajo tent water tank was missing (other campings had it)

Never again!!! Don't go there!

This is a camping, which actually has 5 types of stay:
1. The bungalows
2.Cottages
3. Tents with kitchen
4.Tents without kitchen
5. Zone, separately standing on the beach - for those, who bring all with them themselves.
The place impressed me greatly - everywhere it is very clean. We lived in bungalows... - this option is higher in price, than others, but still affordable price. The conditions are great - two small bedrooms, shower, lavatory and kitchen-studio. Great plus - it has a small terrace, where it is so pleasant to have breakfast or to sip wine in the evening. It also has more privacy, than cottages - really, I fell in love with this place. The place is fully equipped with all You need- plates, casseroles, frying pan,etc. we used to buy products on the way to our small trips across Costa Brava in Lidl or Grossmercat - actually, we spent on food for 2 adults + 1 kid 90 EUR for 1 week - it was easy to cook and healthy at once.
the camping itself is also great
2 adult swimming pools, 2 for children. Cafee with take out possibility. plenty of playgrounds for kids and even kids club with animation. every morning - aqua zumba. 3 times per week - evening fitness. plus some evening program - but we never attended. the beach is so spacy - no crowds, like in lloret de Mar or Tossa de Mar.
I am writing the review - and it memories remind me about great pleasure our family felt here during the stay.

We stay at Camping Resort Els Pins for about two weeks this summer in our own caravan. It was our first time camping in this area but have been at the Costa Brava coast before.

Camping Resort Els Pins ain't bad but there are better options available!

The Beach

We stay at a "beach pitch" ,literally,... 25 m from the beach. Beach is nice, but unfortunately very stoney i.e. you need (most days) to wear some sort footwear to make it comfortable swimming. Moreover water gets very deep fast and in reality you can only be a couple of meters out in the water thus not very child friendly.

The Pool area

Not very big, but very nice with artificial grass and plenty of sun-beds and umbrellas. There are some small water slides the kids finds amusing and there were suppose to be a big "air bouncing mattress" for kids jumping and playing - but it never worked during our stay.

The Area

Camping Resort Els Pins is situated right between Margret del mar and Blanes, neither of them in walking distance i.e. You always need your car if you want to go shopping or dining. There are a small kiosk at the campsite that offers freshly baked bread in the morning and a limited assortment of food and beverages. The so called restaurant is probably better described as a snack bar with a drinks menu.

The campsite is kept tidy and there is plenty of staff. Most of the staff is very friendly, but we had a few incidents where awkward rules suddenly were introduced apparently by management - bit strange but we talked us through.

The are "wild cats" around which can be a bit annoying as you could see they have been in the garbage during night and some even had them inside tents/caravans.

We went into Barcelona to times both by train straight from Margret del mar but also by car - pretty easy!

We had a good time there but will probably find another place next time.
