Planning a road trip should feel effortless—especially when it comes to waste and water logistics. If you’re touring the Costa Daurada in a campervan or RV, the on‑site chemical toilet disposal and dedicated motorhome service area at Camping Platja Cambrils make staying fresh, clean, and compliant straightforward. This guide explains what’s available and how to use each facility safely and efficiently, so you can spend more time relaxing just a short stroll from the beach.

What the motorhome service area includes

Camping Platja Cambrils provides a dedicated motorhome service area designed to cover the essentials:

• Chemical toilet disposal facility: Purpose-built for emptying and rinsing portable cassette tanks.
• Fresh-water refill and waste disposal: Dedicated facilities allow you to refill your water and dispose of waste on site.
• Grey-water drainage service: Access to grey-water disposal is available across the site.

These facilities complement the campsite’s range of touring pitches and sanitary buildings, so you can manage water and waste conveniently during your stay.

• Explore pitch options: Standard Pitch, Premium Pitch, Premium + Pitch, and Pitch XL.

Fresh water, grey water, and on-pitch connections

Different pitch categories offer different connection setups, and you’ll also find central services when you need them:

• Premium + Pitch: Includes on-pitch water and drainage connection, plus 220V/5A electricity.
• Standard, Premium, and Pitch XL: Include 220V/5A electricity with water points located approximately every eight pitches and access to grey-water drainage service.
• Motorhome service points: Provide fresh-water refill and waste disposal for touring guests.

Tip: For electricity, bring a sufficiently long extension lead suitable for a European 220V/5A connection.

Step-by-step: Chemical toilet disposal at Camping Platja Cambrils

Follow this straightforward process to empty and rinse your cassette cleanly and considerately.

1. Prepare your kit

   • Wear disposable gloves and keep biodegradable wipes or paper towels handy.
   • Carry your cassette securely to the chemical toilet disposal facility in the motorhome service area.

2. Empty the cassette

   • Open the disposal hatch and pour contents slowly to avoid splashing.
   • Keep the spout low over the drain to minimize aerosol and odor.

3. Rinse thoroughly

   • Use the rinse point provided at the facility to flush the cassette. Avoid using potable water hoses for rinsing to prevent cross-contamination.
   • Repeat until the outflow runs clear.

4. Add treatment (if you use it)

   • Refill the cassette with the recommended amount of toilet chemical according to the product directions.

5. Clean the work area

   • If any spills occur, rinse the area immediately. As a courtesy to others, ensure the hatch and surrounding surface are left clean.

6. Hygiene check

   • Remove gloves and wash your hands or use sanitizer before returning to your pitch.

Grey-water and fresh-water best practices

Managing grey and fresh water properly keeps your vehicle—and the campsite—running smoothly.

• Grey water (sinks/showers)

  • Use authorized grey-water drainage points on site.
  • Never discharge grey water on pitches, roads, or green areas.

• Fresh water

  • Fill tanks at the designated fresh-water points in the service area or at pitch-side connections where provided.
  • Use clean hoses reserved for fresh water to prevent contamination.

• On-pitch vs. central services

  • If your pitch has on-pitch water/drainage (e.g., Premium +), you can connect directly.
  • Otherwise, use nearby water points and the service area at planned intervals.

When and how to access the service area

• Vehicle access hours: Barriers are open from 08:00 to 00:00 for driving in and out of the campsite.
• Pedestrian access: The foot gate remains open 24/7, useful for early or late walks to facilities without moving your vehicle.

Practical planning tip: If you expect to arrive late, plan essential service runs (like fresh-water fill or emptying) before midnight, in line with vehicle access times.

Clean-camping etiquette that everyone appreciates

A few considerate habits ensure the facilities are pleasant for all guests:

• Queue fairly and have your gear ready before your turn.
• Keep the area tidy: Rinse any residue in the disposal basin and leave hoses as you found them.
• Use the right point for the job: Chemical toilet contents go to the chemical toilet disposal point, not grey-water drains.
• Secure caps and valves before moving away to prevent drips.
• Mind quiet times: Avoid noisy service runs late at night; organize water and waste tasks during daytime or early evening.
