Supermarket at a Glance

Beyond shopping and dining, these on‑site services help you stay put and relax:

Rely on the On‑Site Supermarket vs. a Town Run: How to Decide
Use this simple decision guide to plan smart:
Staying between April and September
- Rely primarily on the on‑site supermarket for day‑to‑day essentials.
- Mix in restaurant, snack bar, and takeaway to simplify arrival day or busy afternoons.
- Start your morning with the bread service and then top up basics.
Staying outside April–September (when the on‑site supermarket isn’t operating)
- Plan a grocery run to Cambrils town centre (approximately 1.5 km) for a full shop.
- Prefer not to drive? The closest public transport stop is about 250 m from the entrance, and bicycle hire is available on site.
Arriving late or tired
- Lean on takeaway and the bread service the next morning, then do a bigger shop later.
- Use the on‑site ATM and free Wi‑Fi (reception/restaurant) to sort payments and plan.
What You Can Expect On Site (April–September)
While selections vary at any campsite grocery, the convenience is constant: you can stock up on everyday essentials without leaving the grounds. Pair that with our restaurant and snack bar for easy meals, and takeaway when you just want to eat at your pitch or bungalow.
Helpful add‑ons that reduce off‑site errands:
- Laundry: pack lighter and wash mid‑stay in the self‑service laundry rooms.
- Motorhome service points: refill fresh water and dispose of waste without detouring.
- Pitch utilities: pitches include fresh‑water connection, waste‑water drainage, 220 V / 5 A electricity, and even a TV connection. Many are flat, hedge‑divided for privacy, and shaded by mature trees.
- Gas connection on pitches: a direct gas hook‑up is available on pitches, reducing the need to source bottles off site.
- Car on pitch or car‑free: you can park on your pitch, or opt for car‑free pitches if you prefer quieter, vehicle‑free space.
Out‑of‑Season Shopping (October–March): Smooth Planning
When the on‑site supermarket is closed, your best bet for a full shop is Cambrils town centre (about 1.5 km). You have options for getting there:
- Drive from the campsite to town.
- Public transport: a stop is roughly 250 m from the entrance.
- Bicycle hire: rent on site and make it a breezy ride.
If you’re new to the area, the 24‑hour reception can help with directions or local tips.
Eat, Swim, Repeat: Make the Most of April–September
April through September is a sweet spot for convenience:
- Supermarket open on site for daily top‑ups.
- Restaurant & snack bar serving meals and takeaway.
- Pools open 1 April–30 September, with a separate children’s pool.
- Bread service for fresh starts.
Pair your shopping with leisure:
- Hit the pool complex and grab lunch after.
- Pick up snacks for day trips—for example, PortAventura World is roughly 6.5 km from the campsite.
Convenience That Keeps You On Site
Keeping errands simple matters even more for families and pet owners. On site, you’ll find:
- Baby‑changing facilities in the sanitary blocks
- Excellent accessible facilities, including wheelchair ramps and accessible sanitary cabins
- Dog‑friendly features: dedicated dog showers, a fenced dog park, and a designated dog swimming area about 2.2 km away; dogs are welcome on all pitch types and in the O’Hara Pet Friendly bungalow
- Leisure on tap: a padel court, tennis court, football field, playgrounds, a miniclub and a huge electronic games room (with organised entertainment in high season)
The result is fewer reasons to leave the park—and more time to unwind.
Arrival Day Playbook: Simple, Stress‑Free Stock‑Ups
Use this step‑by‑step approach to keep arrival day relaxed:
- Check in any time thanks to the 24‑hour reception.
- Plug in and settle: with 220 V / 5 A electricity, fresh water, and waste‑water drainage on your pitch, setup is quick.
- First meal, zero fuss: order takeaway from the snack bar/restaurant (April–September).
- Plan your top‑up: use free Wi‑Fi in reception/restaurant areas to list what you need; withdraw cash at the on‑site ATM if you like to carry some.
