Spacious electric pitches shaded by trees

At the foot of a volcano in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park
A minute's walk from rides and amusements at Lava Parc
Animal farm, pool and garden

Your Spanish holiday here should bubble along here nicely. Catalonia's Camping Lava is a splendidly set site at the foot of the Garrotxa volcanoes deep in the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park: crater connoisseurs, your place is here. It's also a mere minute's amble from the site to the amusements of Lava Parc, where you and your littlies can take a train around the volcanic zone, zip about on Segways or 4X4 tours, cuddle animals at the farm, or canter about by pony or horseback. The fortified medieval town of Santa Pau, dating back to Roman times, is a few minutes' drive away for urban sightseeing around this lush landscape, Olot is within 15 minutes and Girona is reachable in an hour. Camping Lava is a spacious site surrounded by greenery, with pitches shaded by trees. There's an animal farm with critters to greet and feed here too, as well as room aplenty to sunbathe around the grounds and in the handsome garden area surrounding the pool. Entertainment is organised during the summer season. An outdoor barbecue area is open throughout the season, and fresh bread deliveries are available daily

Electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Camping tranquilo y pequeño pero bien organizado por zonas y con lo básico en condiciones para pasar unos días bien. En mitad de la zona de volcanes por lo que no hay que coger coche para ver lo básico de la zona. Tiene al lado el lava park para tomar algo o hacer actividades con los niños aunque sean de pago por ser externo al camping, hacen descuentos en sitios si vas del camping.
Por la noche refresca lo justo para dormir genial en plena ola de calor en agosto.
Camping con encanto y recomendable para pasar unos días o una semana en la zona.

Electric forest floor motorhome pitch

Liked: En plena naturaleza y poca gente

Ducha caliente con wc y baño

Instalaciones limpias

Tranquilo

Parcela bastante nivelada. Tuve que poner calces igualmente.

Disliked: Precio elevado (105€ por 2 noches, 2 personas , autocaravana + perro)

Zona de autocaravanas al final del todo del camping, apartados. Todas las zonas comunes quedaban en el otro lado (piscina, recepción, restaurante, chiringuito, zona de deporte...). Los lavabos y una barbacoa estaba medianamente cerca.

No puedes ponerte en la zona de caravanas ni de tiendas de campaña, aún habiendo sitio de sobras.

Acceso restringido a ciertas zonas del camping (la de bungalows) donde se nos llamó la atención por caminar por ahí cuando nadie nos había explicado que no se podía.

Zona de vaciado de agua tiene rampa y toca los bajos de la autocaravana. También está aquí el llenado de agua (en la parcela solo luz. En las de caravanas tienen agua en sus parcelas).

Muchísimas moscas y mosquitos en la zona de autocaravanas.

Poca cobertura (solo con wifi del camping).

Electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The shade and green vegetation in and around the campsite
The pool area
The cleanliness of the toilets
The surrounding area of La Garrotxa
Wifi
Roofed rainshelters in camping area

Disliked: Check-in took too long (?understaffed reception) and we were told at reception that we needed to wait for someone to show us our pitch, though this was not necessary (and probably was a mistake as we had a tent and not a campervan/caravan).

A shop with more product range and extension hours would have been preferible.

Local attractions

The volcanoes are the hottest highlights around this part of Catalonia and Girona: a full 40 are scattered around the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park's 12,000 hectares, dating back around 700,000 years (fret not re eruptions: the last was 11,000 years ago and the region's volcanoes are now all dormant). Take the miniature train around the volcanic area and the Croscat volcano, the youngest and highest volcano around the Iberian Peninsula. Mining operations here have left a large section of its side exposed, so if you're bubbling over with eagerness to see what the inside of a volcano looks like, take your camera and your curiosity here. Hire a 4x4 near Camping Lava to drive around the craters on your own tour, or cool down with a horse-drawn carriage ride around the lush Fageda Jorda forest, which grows on lava flow from the Croscat volcano three kilometres from the site.
