Camping El Garrofer

Travelling as a family of 5 with two 5 Yr olds and a 7 year old. This was our first time trialing a holiday of this style eurocamp, I wouldn't say I would be overally inclined to book another on the experiances from this trip. There were definite Pros, the staff in reception were accomadating, friendly and welcoming. The caravan although lacked personal touch had most of the things we needed for a pleasant stay, the beds were a highlight as they were very comfortable. I'm not sure if it's the end of season here but there were no activity's going on, or if there was no information to advice on this. The caravan would of benefitted from a welcome back with information about public transport and the local are, places of interest etc. And definitely a map to the beach as once you leave the site there is no signage. And it's not an easy find. We attempted many different routes to walk there, none of which were pleasant and most involved crossing busy roads, not ideal with children. Public transport was a bit of a nightmare, although buses run from right outside the resort, they certainly don't follow the timetable and run late and often don't go where stated, not a reliable way to get around. And we resorted to taxis at times. I feel your own transport is required when staying here. Our children really enjoyed the sports facilities however it would be great if you could hire or purchase equipment, footballs, tennis rackets etc on site, another attention to detail requirement I feel. I do feel this campsite has potential but I don't think I would rush back, I could only describe it as average, and I think it's location let's it down the most.

We only noticed the map at the exit on the last day so had tried various routes before getting the most safest and easiest one.

Would recommend if you want a nice quiet relaxing stay and are not intersted on visiting anything outside the camp , however if you want to explore and have an easy accessible beach then it's not the best place for a family holiday.

We stayed in a eurocamp bungalow and I'd definitely recommend this in the summer because it had effective air conditioning. The bungalow and the pool were both better than I expected and we had a great time with our 7 year old who just wanted to swim all the time! Great waterslides. The campsite feels very Mediterranean full of pine trees with cicadas chirping, tiny lizards, bats in the evening etc. Lovely. We didn't have a car and that's no problem because there's a bus stop literally outside the campsite entrance with buses going to Sitges, Barcelona and the airport. The site put on a minibus to the beach and Sitges as well for one euro return. You can walk to the beach but it's a bit much for kids in the heat. Cafe, shop, ice-cream, but the restaurant is very busy and quite expensive so don't expect to eat there all the time. Only downsides, the kids club was a bit lackluster and all in Spanish. They put on a few fun events but it was mostly colouring or sports and off for siesta 12-4. The other thing was it's quite a noisy location, with a local club blasting bass until 4am a few nights a week. You may or may not be able to sleep through this, we were on the edge of the park so might have been nearer the outside noise. If you are camped near the pool or bars on site, there will be loud music most of the day until midnight, bear that in mind. Had a brilliant time in general and didn't want to leave!

Great site, brilliant location just outside of the main area, but easily manged to get to town and the beach, the site is loud till late 12:30, and Friday nights are very busy, small kids sleeping would be an issue. Power and postion were great, i would say review your pitch and make sure you have shade!! it is very hot as there is no grass, and the ground heats up. Services are good, toilets and showers were okay, they provide toilet paper, but not in the cubicle, we took our own. they were clean, but old. Pool is great, slides were a hit with the kids and me as a big kid,,, the pool bar is the best bar on the site, great evenings had.
