Explore nearby beaches, the woods, watch the waves pound from cliff tops, and head for the day to both historic and tourist towns. Or laze by the very inviting pool.
Valencia- Camping Altomira

It has sites for tents or caravans plus charming bungalows, a café, a pool, a restaurant and Wi-Fi access throughout the facility.
Barcelona-Globo Rojo
Around Barcelona, there are numerous camping sites that have glamping options but are also very family-friendly. Globo Rojo is the nearest first-class camping site to the city with lots of public transport. It is the ideal family holiday campsite located in front of the beach in Canet de Mar. There are basic pitches for BYO campers, deluxe bungalows, and super deluxe infinity bungalows.
Navarro- El Camping Ezcaba
El Camping Ezcaba is found in a natural enclave that joins the River Ulzama to the Pyrenees (Pirineos) Mountains in northern Spain. The hiking here features some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, so don’t forget to pack some good hiking shoes. It is just five minutes from the beautiful historic village of Pamplona (mostly known for the annual running of the bulls).
As well as first class camping they offer bikes to head into Pamplona or to ride along the river. This is a great site for gentle or rigorous mountain hikes and pilgrimages into less-trodden Spanish towns and monasteries.
