Tent-Only Camping: 420 Spaces for Pure Canvas Adventures at Camping Platja Cambrils
Arriving with just a backpack and a canvas shelter? Tent-only camping is your ticket to freedom — and Camping Platja Cambrils makes it easy with about 420 spaces reserved exclusively for tents. Set up under mature trees, stroll to a sandy beach, and tap into practical comforts like 220V (5A) electricity, hot showers, and shared cooking facilities. In this guide, you’ll learn what makes our tent-only areas special, how to book, and the smart tips that help you camp light without missing a thing.
Why choose tent-only camping here
Space made for tents. With approximately 420 tent-only pitches, you’ll find room to settle in comfortably without caravans or motorhomes in the immediate mix.
Shaded, well-defined plots. Pitches sit on flat, firm ground with abundant natural shade. Individual plots are divided by hedges, adding privacy and clear boundaries.
Beach days made simple. Head out for a short walk to the nearby sandy beach — ideal for morning dips, family sandcastles, or sunset strolls.
Facilities that fit your rhythm. Access hot-water showers, separate WCs, baby-changing rooms, accessible cabins, and self-service laundry across three modern sanitary buildings.
Calm, family-friendly atmosphere. The site maintains a fireworks-free policy, so even during festivities you can expect a peaceful stay for kids, pets, and light sleepers.
Plenty to do on-site. From table-tennis and playgrounds (including a pirate ship) to pools with water slides, a gym, and a small spa area, your downtime is covered.
What you get on a tent-only pitch
Whether you’re solo, partnered, or with the family, our pitch features keep your setup simple and comfortable:
- Electricity included: 220V, 5A (European plugs). Bring a sufficiently long extension lead, as the hook-up post is not situated on the pitch itself.

- Sanitary access: Three modern sanitary blocks with hot-water showers, separate WC cubicles, accessible bathrooms, and baby-changing facilities.

- Sinks: Convenient washing-up sinks for cookware and dishes.

- Lockers: Lockers available for securing small valuables.

- Car-free option: Prefer a quieter, pedestrian environment? Car-free pitches are available.
- Pets on pitches: Up to 2 pets per pitch allowed (no potentially dangerous breeds), always on a leash and never left unattended; pets are restricted in certain facilities.

Practical tips for a flawless canvas setup
- Bring a long extension lead. The 220V (5A) hook-up post isn’t on your plot, so a longer cable ensures easy reach.
- Plan for 5A power. Use low-wattage lights and charge devices smartly; avoid high-draw appliances.
- Pack sturdy pegs and a mallet. The ground is firm and level — great for comfort, but you’ll want the right stakes.
- Arrive before late evening. You can’t set up after 11:00 p.m., and vehicle access stops at midnight.
- Choose car-free if you prefer quiet. It’s a great fit for families and walkers.
- Know the pet rules. Up to two pets per pitch (no potentially dangerous breeds), always on a leash, and never unattended.
- Make the most of facilities. Use lockers for small valuables, communal cooking for easy meals, and laundry for light packing.
- Leave the fireworks at home. They’re not permitted anywhere on-site — perfect for peaceful nights.
- Skip e-scooters. Electric scooters and similar vehicles aren’t allowed (exceptions apply for mobility needs).
- Enjoy a safe campfire — where allowed. Campfires are permitted on individual pitches; always follow on-site guidance.
