Camping Catalonia

Mobile home rental in Catalonia

One of the great pleasures of camping holidays in Catalonia is the fact that nature and the sea are both on your doorstep. So rent a mobile home in Catalonia with all the comforts of home, including a well-equipped kitchen, garden furniture and, in some cases, a spa, located in themed areas offering a complete change of scenery! The region’s campsites also have spacious and shady pitches, perfect for setting up your tent, caravan or campervan. You’ll wake up to the gentle sound of the waves and go to sleep beneath a star-filled sky. Whatever your accommodation choice, you’ll be surrounded by verdant nature, just the thing for relaxing and discovering new places!

Camping in Catalonia also provides an opportunity to chill out and recharge those batteries! Our campsites have swimming pools with water slides, multisports areas, restaurants and other facilities that’ll mean you can really make the most of your holiday. You’ll be able to lie back beside the pool, take part in activities organised by the campsite team or just relax with a book in the shade of the trees.

Another of the joys of camping in Catalonia is the plentiful outdoor activities available. If you are a watersports fan, you can devote yourself to sailing, diving, kayaking or just bathing in the crystal-clear water of the Mediterranean. The beaches of the Costa Brava are well known for their beauty and cleanliness, which means you can spend hours relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying the waves!

As well as the pleasures of nature, camping in Catalonia is also an opportunity to discover a rich and varied culture. This is a region that’s overflowing with pretty villages, towns steeped in history and fascinating examples of archaeology. You’ll be able to visit mediaeval churches, imposing castles and interesting museums, illustrating the history and art of Catalonia.

And you certainly can’t leave Catalonia without trying some of its delicious local dishes. First, there are the traditional favourites such as paella and fideuà (a type of paella which uses pasta), suquet de peix (fish stew) and calçots (grilled onions served with a special sauce). And if you’re not after a big meal or you just fancy a delicious bite, don’t forget Spain’s famous tapas!

Did you know?

The Costa Brava acquired its name from the region’s rugged countryside. In fact "Costa Brava" means literally "wild coast" in Catalan. This designation was born from a poetic suggestion by journalist Ferran Agulló, who used the term in an article published in 1908 to describe the untameable beauty of the Catalan coastline.

The Costa Brava is famous for its steep cliffs, crystal-clear water and lovely fishing villages. It has also been a source of inspiration for various artists and writers through the years, including the famous painter Salvador Dalí, who was born in Figueres, a town close to the coast.

What to do on a camping holiday in Catalonia?

The region of Catalonia, in north-eastern Spain, is full of wonderful locations, as well as having a rich history and vibrant culture, and comprises 4 provinces : Girona, Barcelona, Tarragona and Lleida. Here are some of the highlights you should take in while here in Catalonia, so as to ensure you properly experience this captivating region during your camping holiday.

Camping Costa Brava

Come and discover the delightful coastal villages of the Costa Brava. You could start your adventure through northern Catalonia and explore the province of Girona from top to bottom. You’ll be able to stay in Colera, a quiet little town between the sea and the mountains, very close to the French border. Colera is the perfect retreat for nature lovers, with its mountains and secluded coves, such as Cala Rovellada and Cala Morts. One of our campsites serves as a diving centre and arranges amazing outings to the Cap de Creus Natural Park.

Continue along the coast to the lovely, fine sand beaches of L’Escala, which include the beaches of Riells and Montgó. Enjoy the sunshine and sea, and try some watersports, such as scuba diving, sailing or windsurfing. Stop off at Cadaqués, a picture postcard village that’s drawn all sorts of artists, then a visit to Figueres and the legendary Dali Museum. Then, further south, you come to the iconic Costa Brava resort of Lloret de Mar, followed by a stopoff at Sant Feliu de Guixols to see its town centre and its 10th century Benedictine monastery. The Porta Ferrada festival is held here throughout the summer, with all sorts of Hispanic music concerts to take in!

But before you leave the province of Girona, don’t forget to visit the magnificent mediaeval city of the same name. Wander down the cobbled streets of the Jewish quarter, see the wonderful cathedral and walk over the famous Eiffel Bridge. Girona is also well known as the location in which  “Game of Thrones” was filmed.

Campsite Costa Dorada

During a camping holiday on the Costa Dorada, you’ll soon see why the region is celebrated for its superb, sandy beaches. Just like the ones near our campsite in Creixell, where the turquoise waters bring something extra special to your beach days. You’ll also discover the iconic theme park, PortAventura, one of the most exciting in Europe – thrills and spills guaranteed!

Take some time to explore Tarragona as well. This beautiful city is home to numerous Roman ruins, including the amphitheatre, city walls, and aqueduct. A must during any stay at a campsite in Catalonia.

Finally, the southernmost stretch of the Costa Dorada coastline will leave you awestruck. The Ebro Delta Natural Park is a remarkable natural paradise. Visit this stunning location to admire its vast stretches of sand set against the boundless waters of the delta. A place that has managed to retain its wild beauty, as evidenced by the wealth of flora and fauna that can be found here. Not least the pink flamingos, which you can observe when you take part in an astonishing birdwatching session.

To experience all of this for yourself, join Yelloh! Village for an unforgettable stay at a campsite in Alcanar, with modern mobile home rentals in Catalonia, handy services, and a water park looking out to sea. Everything you need for an outstanding holiday on the Costa Dorada!

Campsite Catalan Pyrenees

While Catalonia is famed for its superb sandy beaches, it has so much more to offer. When you opt for a mobile home rental in Catalonia, you’ll have the chance to explore the Catalan Pyrenees. With Yelloh! Village, embark on a journey to the heights of the Alt Empordà, at the edge of the Alta Garrotxa. This region is renowned as being the best stargazing spot in Western Europe.

Great news: our Yelloh! Village campsite in the Catalan Pyrenees even has its own astronomical observatory! Savour a moment that transcends time, gazing at the mesmerising array of stars in the sky.
