Choosing the right place to stay
Camping Platja Cambrils offers both pitches and bungalows. Use the details below to match your needs and preferences.
Camping pitches: sizes, services, and flexibility
All four pitch categories accept up to six guests, allow pets, and provide 220 V / 5 A electricity—ideal for lighting and low‑to‑moderate power use. Pitches come with fresh‑water hookup and a waste‑water drainage point, and most benefit from plentiful shade.
- Parcela Premium
- Parcela Premium +
- Parcela Standard (from around 45 m²)
- Parcela XL (up to around 100 m²)
Practical pointers for pitch selection:
- If minimizing walking time is a priority, request a pitch near sanitary blocks or preferred facilities when booking.
- If you use mobility equipment, the asphalted internal roads can make routes to key areas easier.
- With a 5 A electrical supply, plan power use thoughtfully (for example, avoid running several high‑wattage devices at once). If you charge mobility aids, check the charger’s current draw and consider charging during lower‑demand times.
