What a great little campsite. All the facilities, walking distance to beach, further (about 2km) to the town. Really can't beat it.

Excellent for a one or two night stopover - we always stop here on way to and from France. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. The sanitary facilities are excellent!

Loved this site, it has a rustic charm, staffed by enthusiastic people with a laidback vibe. Everything within easy reach, but retains that quiet country feel, definitely be returning to this little gem, can’t comment on the swimming pool as just being filled after an upgrade as we left, only had a drink in the bar but the restaurant was always busy and very good value.

3 good things about this site
1girl on reception- very helpful and friendly
2 Location
3 showers
but the site is a dump as the season pitch holders make the site a mess. poor maintenance of their caravan/ chalets give the appearance of neglect. many MH visitors said they wouldn’t stop here again and neither would we sadly.

Reservation 4 nuits, CC + remorque. 2 emplacements attribuées, trop petits pour y rentrer. Et si on resté, bloquage sortie pour CCs en face, dont 1 qui partait le lendemain. Très désagréable \"discussion téléphonique \" avec responsable car \"remboursements ne sont pas habituels\". Zéro espace entre les CCs.

The welcome was lovely and the lady on reception very nice, only issue is that it closed at lunchtime on Saturday and didn\'t open until Monday. You had to go to the bar if you needed assistance and the staff did not speak much English.
Lovely swimming pool, but the description of distance to the beach was vastly under estimated. It was a long walk and not a very nice one, even if you had a bike it wouldn\'t have been good on a very rough track. Shame it was so far from beach but the pool was great.

We recently spent 3 nights with an ACSI Card 15€ a night. The Lady on reception was really helpful and smiley. She spoke many languages. The Showers and Toilet Block were very clean and newly renovated. Really good Showers. Washing Machines were 4€ and they had Dryers, wash basins and basins for washing your clothes. Swimming pool, not open at the moment.
There was a Restaurant and Bar, we had the Help yourself Buffet at 13€ on Saturday and Sunday. During the week Menu del dia at 10€ a good selection. We took a large plot, but it did not seem that big. Would definitely return. We have been to a lot of campsites around Peniscola. In our opinion this is the best and friendliest.

Excellent site with the warmest welcome we\'ve ever received. Aldi close by. Downside is that it is a good distance from the beach and from town. Quiet at night which was a bonus
