How to choose the perfect campsite for your visit to PortAventura

Before booking, think about the type of experience you want.

If you’re looking for maximum comfort and many extra facilities, a resort-style campsite is a great fit. If you prefer something simpler and closer to the park, choose one in Salou or Cambrils. And if you’re travelling with kids, check that it offers children’s areas, pools and activities similar to family hotels, which always make stays easier for younger guests.

You can also consider proximity to the beach, whether you need a more budget-friendly option, or if you prefer bungalows for extra privacy.

 

Other accommodation options

If you decide not to stay at a campsite, the area still offers great alternatives:

 

  • Themed hotels inside and outside the resort.
  • Urban accommodations or apartments for a more independent stay.
  • PortAventura hotels, offering direct or very close access to the park.
