Off camping in Benidorm? Lever yourself into prime position with a berth at budget-friendly Camping El Raco, surrounded by trees in an area with numerous shops and bars, and less than 15 minutes' walk from both Levante Beach and Aqualandia waterpark: you'll probably want to raise a glass to that.

Local attractions

Those bonzer beaches first, of course (well, perhaps after a beer or cocktail): Benidorm has over four miles of sand in its popular and good-looking beaches of Poniente and Levante – as well as glittering nightlife, its Old Town and five fab family theme parks. Across from the beach, the waters of Benidorm Island are where to spot local marine life. Away from the resort for day trips, try Altea fishing village and its Old Town filled with the stalls of artists (look out too for the blue dome of its church and its narrow alleyways); the clifftop houses and the castle of Guadalest village; hiking the trails from the Moorish castle of Finestrat and the mountains of Tárbena; visiting the Ethnographic museum at Villajoyosa, and seeing the Palmeral at Elche, the biggest palm grove in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Calpe, a tourist resort at the foot of the Rock of Ifach, is now a nature spot and has spectacular views. Two other well-known tourist options in the area are lively Alicante, again with an Old Town, and the city of art and science Valencia, to see its cathedral and the Miguelete, La Lonja, North Station, Serrano Towers and Quart de Dos Aguas Palace. And wherever you end up, also very much recommended is Spanish cuisine: make a meal of rice and fish from the coast including black rice, arroz a banda, peix cauldron, paella aladroc, les pilotes de dacsa, les cokes, la olleta de blat…

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Size of pitch also the electric, water, television and waste connections no problem
The toilet block nearest to our pitch was adequate, but bear in mind over the winter the remaining two blocks are being upgraded
We tried one of the new blocks and it was excellent so everything should be fine for next year
Also there is work going on either side of the campsite one side is a new Aldi supermarket and the other side another campsite all in all good things happening
Swimming pool was great nice grass area for sun bathing

Disliked: Nothing to add

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Pitches and washing facilities were good. Receptionist were helpful and the shop on site was helpful.

Disliked: -the amount of dust blowing consistently over our heads for the whole 9 days
- electric should be included for campervans but it wasn't
- There was an electric shock issue with the swimming pool but it was not closed for safety.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Good afternoon,
we appreciate your time in leaving a comment and positive feedback.

-We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the dust. It really is very annoying.

- electricity is charged by kw consumed by the client. This way each customer only has to pay for what they have consumed.

- the maintenance staff came to the pool to check the incident and said that it was no longer happening. The lifeguard also informed the reception that it had not happened again. At the end of the day when the pools were cleaned our maintenance staff has checked again and everything was fine.

Kind regards

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Absolutely nothing it’s a dump.

Disliked: Huge building site on 3 sides about the size of 10 football pitches. From 7.30 in the morning until 5.00 pile driving concrete dust so bad you can taste it. Left 9 days early could not take the constant noise and dust. Apparently it is going on until Sept next year. Do not touch stay clear.

Eamonn M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Excellent well run site with spotless facilities. Easy reach of Benidorm centre and a short bike ride on cycle paths from the beautiful Albir. Plenty of bars/restaurants within easy reach of the site. Fabulous pool area and shower and toilet facilities are the best we’ve ever across. Friendly resident campers. Excellent supermarket on site. Will definitely stay again.

Disliked: The only thing we disliked was the food service finishing at 4pm. That said there were plenty of other places to eat.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your excellent review and rating. It is true that guests can enjoy the services of the campsite and the bars and restaurants located at the exit of the campsite.
See you soon
