Camping Esponellá

Surrounded by a peaceful woodland and a small river
A short drive from the Lake of Banyoles
Three pools, restaurant, playground and sports courts

If you find the scorching Spanish sun just a bit too blazing while on hol at Girona's Camping Esponellá, how in luck are you. Because it's only a drive of 15 minutes or so from this peaceful place to the famed waters of the Lake of Banyoles, the biggest natural lake in Catalonia. Such is the spectacular setting of this watery body that the 1992 Barcelona Olympics had its sailing events here, and the World Rowing Championships were held on the lake in 2004. You can of course mess about in boats on the waters by your very own self, by hiring a rowing vessel, taking a trip where someone else takes the tiller, or guiding yourself along in a canoe or kayak. (While keeping a watchful eye out for the Banyoles monster in the watery depths below, but of course…) On site, three pools – one outdoor and two indoor – are to hand for more water-based shenanigans, and a small river is alongside the grounds for fishing and paddling. Out of the water, there's miniature golf if you're feeling (slightly) active under the splendid Spanish sun, and volleyball, tennis or football to have a go at for the truly energetic. Inflatable games and toys are set up at the playground in summer. Sort a meal or takeaway at the site's Mediterranean restaurant or use the supermarket for a bit of what you fancy: either of these should be followed by a lingering drink at the Camping Esponellá bar, under the setting Spanish sun.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: El càmping es còmode, no massa gran, lavabos sempre a prop i força néts, activitats per tothom i rutes amb bici per fer amb nens a sortir del càmping. El personal molt simpàtic i atent.

Disliked: Les instal·lacions son una mica velles. Les parcel·les de tenda no tenen separacions, tot i que ja ho posa al web, no va ser cap sorpresa.

Fully-serviced grass pitch (premium)

Liked: Super ruhige und gepflegte Anlage. Kleines Idyll für jeden der es etwas ruhiger mag. TOP Essen im Restaurant zum super Preis. Absolute Empfehlung für den individuell konfigurierbaren Burger. 3 Pools und Zugang zu einem Fluss.

Disliked: Nicht wirklich negativ aber durch die etwas abgelegene Lage mit großen Wohnwägen oder Wohnmobilen nicht überall einfach durchzukommen.

Local attractions

The spectacular waters of the Lake of Banyoles are lauded as the best place for watersports in all of Catalonia. Sailing, rowing, boat trips, canoeing and kayaking are all available at the lake; start off at the Club Natació Banyoles or Banyoles Watersports Centre to see what's on offer all around. If you're not much for watersporting, you can cycle, hike, mountain bike or amble around the lake's perimeter, or lurk in its shoreside shrubbery for a birdwatching or nature spotting afternoon. Bike and Segways are available to hire, although possibly not the brightest idea if you're on a hidden birdwatching trip. Also much recommended are the medieval town of Besalú, 15 minutes' drive away, the Dalí Museum in Figueras, within 25, and the 40-minute drive to the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. Girona is about 35 minutes away and Barcelona an hour and a half.
