Dreaming of a beach holiday where you can also squeeze in 18 holes? Planning your tee time on the Costa Dorada is easy when you stay at Camping Platja Cambrils. With golf opportunities within easy reach, a sandy beach just 300 m away across the coastal road, and smart on-site amenities to support early starts and relaxed finishes, you can build the perfect golf-and-sea day without stress.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to get from your pitch or bungalow to the first tee, what to pack, when to play, and how to make the most of the campsite’s facilities before and after your round.

Why Camping Platja Cambrils Makes a Great Golf Base

A successful golf day begins with a convenient, comfortable base. Camping Platja Cambrils offers both:

• Golf nearby: The surrounding area provides golf within easy reach of the campsite, so you can plan a round without long transfers.
• Sandy beach at 300 m: Stroll to the shore across the coastal road for a cool-down swim or sunset walk after your round.
• Well-placed for getting around: A public transport stop is roughly 250 m from the entrance, and road access is straightforward via the AP-7 (exit 37) toward Cambrils and the beach.
• Shaded, level pitches: Most pitches are flat and individually hedged, with plenty of mature tree cover for restful nights before an early tee time.
• Smart facilities that support golfers:
  • Daily bread service, on-site takeaway, and a restaurant/snack-bar operating April–September for quick breakfasts and easy post-round meals.
  • On-site supermarket (April–September) and an additional grocery shop about 50 m from the entrance.
  • Lockers for valuables, plus self-service laundry to refresh golf apparel.
  • Free Wi‑Fi in the reception/restaurant areas (partial coverage elsewhere) to manage bookings and check course updates.
  • Small on-site spa area and an on-site gym for recovery and light training.
  • EV charging points in the parking area and an on-site ATM for convenient cash withdrawals.
  • Bicycle hire on site if you prefer pedal-powered local errands.

Note: Some parts of the site border a railway line and occasional passing train noise can be heard. If you’re a light sleeper before an early tee time, request a quieter area when you book.

Quick facts for golfers

Getting to the First Tee: Transport and Timing

Hitting the road

• By car: From the AP‑7, take exit 37 for Cambrils and continue toward the beach. Turn left along the beach road; the campsite is about 1 km east of Cambrils marina and well signposted. Use the GPS coordinates 41.0669° N, 1.0830° E or the what3words address ///chilled.juices.droplet to arrive directly at the gate.
• Public transport: With a stop about 250 m from the entrance, buses can be useful for regional connections. For golf days, confirm routes and schedules in advance to ensure timely arrivals.
• Taxis or ride-hailing: A practical choice for early tee times or foursomes sharing a ride.
• Cycling: Bicycles are available to hire on-site. For golf, however, driving or taxis are often more convenient—especially with clubs.

When to play

• Morning tee times help you beat midday heat and leave the afternoon free for the beach or pool.
• Late afternoon rounds can be cooler and pair well with a tapas dinner at the on-site restaurant (April–September).
• High season can be busy across the coast. Pre-book your tee time and plan extra travel buffer.

What to Pack and How to Prepare

Use this checklist to keep your day smooth and enjoyable:

• Golf essentials: Clubs, balls, tees, glove, rangefinder (if used), and a lightweight carry or trolley option.
• Dress code: Collared shirt, appropriate shorts/trousers, golf shoes. Courses commonly enforce smart attire—verify specifics when you book.
• Sun strategy: Hat, sunglasses, high‑SPF sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle.
• Quick breakfast: Pre-order fresh bread on-site or pick up takeaway before you head out.
• Valuables: Use the on-site lockers for items you don’t need on the course.
• Recovery kit: Pack a change of clothes and plan a post-round spa session or light gym stretch.
• Evening comfort: In warmer months, bungalows such as O’Hara Air (4+1) and Palmeres (up to 6) include air conditioning. For cooler periods, New Mediterrani, Oasis, and Premium models offer built‑in heating.
• Torch: A small torch is handy for navigating the campsite after dark.
