Nice camp overall

1 October 2026 at 15:44:31
We were a family of five staying in a Eurocamp 3-bedroom MB62, across from tennis courts at the end of September 2026. Overall, we had a lovely family holiday and enjoyed our stay, but there were a number of things about Playa Montroig that could be improved, particularly compared with other camps we... have stayed in.
Things that could be improved
Road safety and traffic
The roads around the campsite can be extremely busy with vehicles. The avenue we were staying on had no pedestrian paths, and with vehicles constantly coming and going, it didn't feel safe to let the children play or cycle around without close adult supervision.
The staff quarters and maintenance yard are also located at the end of the avenue, meaning staff vehicles were regularly travelling up and down from early in the morning until late in the evening.
Location of our accommodation
Our cabin was located directly beside the wastewater disposal point for caravans and camping pitches. This wasn't particularly pleasant, especially at meal times when we wanted to sit outside on the decking.
There were also a lot of wild cats around the area. They were extremely bold and would nearly run into the cabin if the door was left open. Some of them also didn't appear to be in the best condition. The wasps were another major nuisance throughout our stay.
Late-season facilities and entertainment
One of our biggest disappointments was how much the campsite facilities and entertainment had been reduced by the end of September.
Several facilities were closed or operating on reduced schedules, including:
- Some of the pool slides
- Bars in the sports area and around the campsite
- The ice cream parlour
- The waffle shop
- The bakery/café (although there is a bakery section in the shop)
- The fishmonger
- Reduced children's entertainment and activities
There were still a lot of children under 12 staying on the campsite, so this was particularly noticeable. After the 30-minute mini disco at the weekend, many children seemed to be left wandering around the plaza because there was very little else happening in the evenings.
The timing of the mini discos also wasn't ideal, as they clashed with pool opening times and the usual dinner period. During the day, there would often only be one, and occasionally two, children's activities available through the Hobby Centre.
We appreciate that it was the end of September and that a reduction in facilities is understandable towards the end of the season. However, we felt the extent of the closures and reductions wasn't particularly transparent when booking. If we had known how much would be unavailable, it may have influenced our decision on when to visit.
Swimming pools
You need towels for the astro grass area around the pools for lounging, loads of space. Lovely pool bar with food and drink options.
The pools were not heated when we arrived and were absolutely freezing. A group of parents approached us and several other families to raise the issue, and eventually one of the pools was heated.
The campsite app states that there are four heated pools, so we were surprised by the condition of the pools during our stay. Again, clearer information about what is actually heated and operating in late September would be helpful.
Once the pool was heated, however, the kids had endless hours of fun and it became one of the highlights of the holiday.
Quiet hours
The campsite states that quiet hours begin after 11pm, but this didn't appear to be actively enforced during our stay. There were groups of noisy teenagers around the campsite late at night, and on occasions staff passed them without intervening.
Laundry facilities
The washing machines were another disappointment, particularly at €7 per load. They didn't seem to be working correctly and left marks on some of our clothes.
One machine appeared to be washing at an excessively high temperature, while another didn't heat the water at all. We reported the issue, but unfortunately nothing appeared to be done about it during our stay.
Location
The campsite itself is quite isolated. There isn't a town or village within an easy or particularly safe walking or cycling distance for a family with young children.
We took a taxi to Cambrils, which cost around €25 each way, and had a lovely day there with plenty to see and do. However, the lack of somewhere nearby that you can easily walk or cycle to is worth considering when choosing this campsite.
What we did enjoy
The beaches are really nice, lovely walks on it up and down in the sand, busy at mornings for the lovely sunrises!
Our Eurocamp accommodation itself was absolutely fine. The cabin was clean and comfortable and was as described when we booked it. The Eurocamp staff were excellent throughout our stay. Any issues we had were dealt with very promptly, and we were also given an out-of-hours contact number in case we needed assistance.
The animation team were also fantastic. They were friendly, energetic and really engaging with the children at the activities and events that were running.
There are also some great facilities and activities available, including bike rental for getting around the campsite, paddleboard rental on the beach and a diving centre.
The toucan restaurant was average food for the price of it but the location was worth it, right on the beach. The terrace restaurant food is grand for families and reasonably priced. Grill restaurant was closed at the front of the site.
Once the pool was heated, the children absolutely loved it and could have spent hours there.
Overall
We had a lovely holiday and there are definitely things we liked about Playa Montroig. However, based on our experience, I would recommend being aware that visiting at the end of September is very different from visiting during peak season.
Our main disappointment wasn't with the Eurocamp accommodation or staff — they were excellent — but with the level of facilities, children's entertainment and activities available around the main campsite at this time of year.
For families with young children, I would particularly recommend checking exactly which pools, slides, shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment are operating during your dates before booking. The campsite has a lot to offer, but we felt that the late-season reductions weren't made sufficiently clear when booking.
