Camping Balena Allegre

A well-deserved five-star campsite. Yes, it is expensive, but I have seen others that charge the same or more for less. If you are willing to pay, you get luxurious, super-clean bathrooms. The pool is great and the pitches are very spacious and comfortable. The gym is definitely the highlight. The restaurant is disappointing; we did not try the bar because it is fast food.

We spent a total of five days there over Whitsun. €56 per night for two people including a dog is quite a lot. From Tuesday onward, €72 seemed unreasonable to us. The site is very well maintained and the pitches are large. The path to the beach, where dogs are allowed, is only a few metres away. However, the supermarket, bar, pool, etc. are 2 km from the dog area. So definitely bring bicycles.

Excellent facilities. Everything you need. Close to the beach. Dog friendly. Restaurants on site. Does get very busy. Bike lanes to L’Escala. We were there in September and it was busy. Gym on site as well, literally on the beach.

Good to know: if you travel with a dog, you will be parked at the back of the campsite, even if it is only 40% full. If you want to enjoy the pools, supermarkets, etc., you will have to walk 2.4 km round trip. However, everything is clean, even luxurious, and the beach is at the end of the lane. €48 for one motorhome, two people and one Chihuahua on 9 October 2025. Nothing else nearby is accessible on foot except the beach.

Nice campsite. It was great, but we were partly placed quite far back. Strangely, people were sorted by country of origin. Otherwise great, with everything necessary as well as unnecessary available.

We have been there twice because we liked it so much. Especially in the low season, you find peace and relaxation here. Very competent and friendly reception; toilets and showers always spotlessly clean. Definitely bring bicycles. You can take beautiful bike tours from here. We will certainly return.

We were there for two nights at the end of August. The campsite is very large and very well equipped, with clean sanitary facilities, several pools and bars, and daily entertainment including a stage and sports. However, the campsite is not quiet (!) and there is little shade. We found the price rather steep at around €100 per day for a VW bus and two people.

A beautiful campsite that offers peace despite its size, with a nice dog area. We went to the beach with our dog, as did all the other dogs there. The catch is that while we were there, the neighbouring campsite blasted music until around 3 a.m. From about 8 or 9 p.m., an evening of rest, relaxation and sitting outside peacefully was unfortunately out of the question.

We actually only wanted to stay one night. Because it is so beautiful, we stayed longer. Somehow the operators have managed to divide the pitches so that dog owners and parents with small children do not get in each other's way. This means the dog can even jump into the sea. The sanitary facilities are cleaned continuously, so they are always clean.

A little cramped, but the campsite is good. Shows and entertainment for children during the day and late evening. The beach is next door, the restaurant is quite good and prices are reasonable. We will come back!

Endless crowds, with sometimes long walks even to the toilets. Children under 12 are not allowed in the pool alone, so we accompanied ours and watched from the sun lounger; the lifeguards admonish children every few seconds for minor things. Two adults and two children: €125 per night in the front area. Wi-Fi costs an extra €5. When paying, they only wanted cash.

One week, one person plus vehicle with a roof tent: €800. You have to see it to believe it.

Great campsite with good infrastructure; supermarket prices are okay. Sanitary facilities in good condition. Good overall concept. The beach is great despite the jellyfish (June/July 2025). The pool and children's playground are very nice. Strict lifeguard supervision. At Whitsun it was pure paradise in terms of the number of people and prices; in summer it is dominated by the Dutch. Depending on your pitch, a bicycle is very useful.

Mostly Dutch people, as everywhere in Spain. Nice beach nearby and good motorhome pitches. It is a large area, so it can be a long walk depending on where you end up. Grey-water disposal is as far from the exit as possible! In the tiny area with water slides, there are not enough sun loungers; it is always total chaos and the lifeguards ban absolutely everything. The whistles sound continuously!

Excellent campsite. Dogs are tolerated on the beach, no problem; they have a designated section of the campsite and beach at the back, poop bags by the beach and dog showers. Washing machine and dryer cost €4; dishwasher is free. Showers and toilets are clean, someone is always cleaning. Chemical toilet cleaning is also free: put it in, it gets cleaned, and it comes back smelling fresh :) Tennis courts, pools and more. Friendly, helpful staff. It would not work without the great employees.

Very expensive and there is no shade.

Good and very clean campsite designed for families with children. There is a very wide range of activities for children. The sanitary facilities are cleaned continuously. The supermarket offers a large selection of food.

In our 20-year camper career, we have travelled a lot. This place deserves five stars. The cleanliness of the sanitary buildings is second to none. The cleaning team is always present during the day. Prices on site are comparable to those at home, affordable and fair. The staff are very accommodating—and the reasonably priced cocktails are not watered down ;-). We are happy to come back!

Good campsite. Large pitches and clean washrooms. There is especially a lot for small children to discover here!

Great place, super friendly staff, showers and toilets super clean my only drop point is they banned dogs on the beach 3000€ fine if found on the beach but this is nothing to do with the camping this is city banning dogs. But I would return.

Although the website allows shorter stays to be booked, we went today intending to spend two nights with our motorhome and were told the minimum stay is one week. There were countless vacant pitches. Disgraceful. If you want shorter stays, make the reservation online.

Great campsite; we have been stopping here repeatedly for 15 years.

We stayed here for two nights one week before closing. Few people, a large pitch, very quiet. The supermarket was already operating in emergency mode. Washrooms spotless. Beautiful beach.

Top and enormous campsite, superbly equipped. Sanitary facilities are immaculate; it feels like someone is always checking that everything is in order. Separate dog beach. Bakery and mini-market are excellent, and the pool is attractive, though we did not try it. The pitches are unfortunately very earthy and muddy when it rains. Rainwater barely drains from the paths. It is not exactly cheap, either.

A very beautiful, well-maintained campsite! Despite its size, it is always very quiet, spotlessly clean and offers very good services, including a supermarket, mini-market and ice cream sales. Everything is in order and the staff are always friendly! Our first visit to the Costa Brava and definitely not our last!

Very beautiful and quiet place with everything you need. The sanitary facilities were always well maintained. Short paths to the beach with direct access to the kite school. The evening programme was usually good, and there was generally no excessive animation. We would happily return.

Excellent campsite, direct access to the beach, good pools, supermarket and services. The only drawback would be the price—but that is how it is. Recommended.

Very nice campsite, perfect for campers with dogs. Excellent sanitary facilities, free chemical-toilet cleaning machine, everything very clean and well maintained. Very nice beach and pool. The site is enormous, so you should bring a bicycle to cover the long distance to the main building. Points deducted for the price and the lack of evening entertainment. The neighbouring Dunas offers more in that regard.

Beautiful site with large pitches. Everything is clean and directly beside a very beautiful sandy beach with wonderful sunrises. The evening programme is good. The supermarket is well stocked and reasonably priced. The food is good, but unfortunately not very varied. Mobile reception is very weak until 1 a.m. The mobile internet access available for purchase does not always work either. A washing-machine load is far too expensive!

Huge campsite with all services, clean and well-maintained facilities, and a good restaurant. We paid by card for: - The stay, paid in advance - The pool bar - The beach bar - Takeaway - The supermarket - The restaurant Only the laundry and the waffle stand do not accept cards, as well as the on-site reception.

The closest comparison is Puerta del Sol at Christmas. Uncontrolled crowds; there was no room for anyone else in the pool. If you need rest, do not go, especially with children. They do not accept card payments anywhere in the campsite—we are in 2024.

Large site, everything included. If you like club holidays, this is the place for you. Great location directly on the beach. The beach is very beautiful, with fine sand and a gently sloping seabed. Many kite surfers and surfers. Washrooms are basic but always very clean.

Very nice, large campsite with everything available: bar, restaurant, bakery, crêperie, grocery shop, pharmacy, doctor, beauty salon, boutique, etc. Top-quality, spacious sanitary facilities and laundry. The best thing: right by the sea with a fine sandy beach, very quiet. The downside: do not come to this campsite to rest; it is somewhat noisy with children everywhere, and a little too expensive.

Good campsite for going with children, with various activities. Very clean bathrooms.
