Camping Valldaro , 145 rooms
From: To: Availability
Camping Valldaro is located just outside Platja d’Aro, in Catalunya’s Baix Empordà region. It offers 3 outdoor pools, a minigolf course and tennis courts, and air-conditioned bungalows.
The Valldaro bungalows feature modern décor and heating. Each one has a kitchen with a hob, microwave and fridge. They also come with either a balcony or a small terrace. Wi-Fi is available at an extra cost.
Staff at the 24-hour reception can provide information about Baix Empordà, and bicycle rental is available. The campsite also provides entertainment for adults and children.
The poolside restaurant serves international food and offers take-away options. There is also a snack bar, as well as an on-site supermarket.
The campsite is just 7 minutes’ drive from the beach in Platja d’Aro. You can drive to Girona Airport in around 35 minutes
Camping Valldaro is in Platja d'Aro
Platja d’Aro’s main drag, formed by Avinguda S’Agaró and Avinguda Cavall Bernat, offers some of the region’s best shopping, with big-name designer clothes stores and some classy local establishments. Most are open all year and have extended summer hours (daily 10am–2pm & 5–10pm).
As evening suffuses into night, the pavement cafés become a popular spot for an aperitif and some prime people-watching. Later into the night a hedonistic crowd moves in, as the stylish, laid-back bars and thumping discos get going.
Every February, the same streets play host to one of the Costa Brava’s best Carnival processions, with floats and extravagant fancy-dress parades accompanied by revelry all weekend long.
On the northern edge of town is Ciutat de Palol, a small square that was the site of a wine- and oil-producing Roman villa, in use between the first century BC and the seventh century AD. Badly neglected during the tourism boom, it has now been properly excavated and saved, and what little remains has been laid out as a public area with seating.
Almost the entire length of Platja d’Aro’s beach is backed by an uneven toothy grin of high-rise blocks, interspersed with some older low-rise buildings, fronted by a pedestrianized promenade with terraces and restaurants.The sweep of coarse golden sand, shelving moderately steeply into clear water, sees families and firm-bodied clubbers working on their tans.The southern tip of Platja Gran, marked by the chic Port Nàutic and capped by the Punta de Pinell headland, gets slightly less crowded.
At the northern end of the Platja Gran, three incongruous-looking nineteenth-century villas are a reminder of how the town has changed, while 100m further on is the huge standing stone known as El Cavall Bernat, the backdrop to free summer jazz concerts. Its name came into use in the sixteenth century as a euphemism for the original Carall Bernat, thought to mean “revered phallus” (“carall” is Catalan for “phallus”).
North of Platja d’Aro, the Camí de Ronda footpath dips and climbs for 4km, from the north- ern end of the Platja Gran along the water’s edge as far as Sant Antoni de Calonge, offering paths down to some beautiful beaches.A number can also be reached by footpaths off the C253 road towards Palamós, which has roadside parking.
The first you come to is the attractive, busy Cala Rovira, originally the Roman port for the area. It’s also known as Cala dels Escalencs after the fishing families from L’Escala, who – until the advent of tourism in the 1950s – used to spend their summers here camped on the beach, fishing the waters and selling their catch in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.A terrifically colourful and emotive fiesta to mark this history takes place on the first weekend after the Diada holiday (Sept 11), when dozens of traditional Vela Llatina boats make the journey from L’Escala and families camp on the beach in makeshift shelters for two days of traditional crafts, havaneres and cremat.
Neighbouring Cala Sa Cova offers a gently shelving beach and safe bathing up to a clearly defined line of underwater rocks, and its pretty setting amid pines helps you to overlook the number of people. Smaller and more inviting is Cala del Pi, 200m further north along the Camí de Ronda; its underwater rocks and craggy point make it perfect for snorkelling.A long tunnel separates this from Ses Rodones de Terra, where stone steps lead down through clumps of bamboo to a rugged mosaic of boulders and beach, a favourite with nude bathers.
Further along the footpath, Cala Belladona is less busy than its neighbours, and you’ll find good snorkelling and swimming a long way out into the steeply shelving sea. Finally, Platja de Can Cristus, most easily reached from the road, has a good sandy beach, but can get crowded owing to the presence of two large campsites nearby.

Swimming pools Shop on the camping site very clean houses Numberplate recognition to drive into the camping, makes it very handy to just drive on -> gate opens -> drive The location of the camping is pretty annoying. It's next to a busy road and far away from the centrum. We have red on this site that the staff was very helpfull. However the first day we arrived was the only day we interacted with the staff, and we got an explenation of the whole camping in under 20 seconds. It was in english, but not understandable at all, way to fast and we had the feeling they wanted to get rid of us asap. Next, the swimming pools are nice, however the jacuzzi swimmingpool was very cold, and not working half of the time. |

- Buen trato. - Completas instalaciones y servicios. - Buena hubicación y facil acceso a todo lo necesario para que la estancia sea lo más placentera posible. - Actividades pensadas para niños e instalaciones bien adaptadas. - Aunque la ubicación es buena, es necesario disponer de algún tipo de vehículo para desplazarse hasta el núcleo urbano más cercano. |

Bungalow muy completo con todo lo que se necesita para cocinar. Arreglado. Personal atento. Cuando llegas por la Vía Verde con la bici, no se ve bien indicado porque el camino pasa por la parte atrás (a lado de la riera) a mano izquierda. |

Fuimos a un Bungalow era monísimo y con todas las comodidades necesarias, limpio y seguro para que los niños jugaran por el camping a su aire. Volveremos segurísimo!!! Por decir alguna mejoría, la ducha no salía bien el agua y el sofá un poco incómodo. |

Les instal.lacions Sorpren que tot i disposar de segell Emas Iso 14001 en mediambient i el compromis que aixo suposa, disposar de contenidors segregats i demés, als bungalows nomes hi hagi un cubell i nomes es faciliti una bossa d'escombraries, amb el que amb una estada curta acaba provocant que la gent no separi la brossa. |
