In this guide, you’ll learn what hedge-screened pitches are, why they matter for comfort and aesthetics, and how they work at Camping Platja Cambrils. You’ll also find practical tips to get the most from your stay and quick answers to common questions.
What Are Hedge-Screened Pitches?
Hedge-screened pitches are camping plots bordered by living hedgerows. Instead of wire or hard fencing, a natural green boundary marks your space.
Why campers love them
- Privacy with a softer touch: Hedges create visual separation from neighboring plots while maintaining a friendly, open atmosphere.
- Clear boundaries: Defined edges make it easy to organize your setup and keep gear neatly contained.
- Aesthetic appeal: Green borders blend into the landscape, enhancing the look and feel of the campsite.
- Micro-comforts: Vegetation can help break light breezes and reduce dust, contributing to a more comfortable pitch environment.

Practical Tips to Maximize a Hedge-Screened Pitch
- Plan your layout: Use the hedge line to guide where you place your unit, awning, and dining area for a tidy, ergonomic setup.
- Leverage shade: Orient seating to benefit from the site’s mature trees; you’ll enjoy cooler afternoons without extra kit.
- Respect the greenery: Avoid fastening lines directly to hedges. Use your own stakes and keep vegetation clear of hot appliances.
- Consider light and airflow: Hedges provide visual privacy, while open sides help with natural ventilation—great for warm evenings.
- Stay fire-smart: Campfires are permitted on pitches; choose a safe, stable fire base and keep flames and heat well away from hedges and trees.
- Stay connected where you need: For reliable online time, make use of the free Wi‑Fi in the reception and restaurant areas.
- Traveling with pets: The fenced dog park is ideal for exercise, and on-pitch hedges help define your pet’s play area. Don’t forget the dedicated dog showers.
- Family rhythm: In high season, plan your day around the miniclub and entertainment program—kids can enjoy workshops while you relax by the pool.
- Beach-ready in minutes: Have your beach bag prepped; the shore is about 300 m away across the coastal road.
