Accessible Holidays at Camping Las Dunas: A Practical Guide for Travelers with Reduced Mobility

Planning accessible holidays can feel daunting—especially for a beach break. Camping Las Dunas on Spain’s Costa Brava makes it easier with direct beach access, dedicated sanitary cabins for guests with reduced mobility, and an adapted route that allows you to reach the water. This guide explains what to expect on site, how to plan your stay, and the practical steps that can help you enjoy a smooth, sun-soaked escape.

Why Camping Las Dunas works for accessible holidays

• Beachfront location on the Costa Brava (Spain) with direct access to the sand.
• Dedicated sanitary cabins and accessible facilities designed for guests with reduced mobility.
• Adapted route to the water so you can reach the sea more comfortably.
• Flat, regularly laid-out pitches that make navigating the campsite more straightforward.
• Comprehensive on-site amenities (supermarket, restaurants, bars, ATM, safety deposit) to minimize off-site travel.
• Large pool complex including a very large outdoor pool and a separate double pool for children with slides and water-play features.
• Wi‑Fi across the site (charged), so you can stay connected when you need it.

Tip: A flat site layout and nearby essential services reduce daily effort and transfer time—key considerations for accessible holidays.

Getting the basics right: pitches, facilities, and services

Pitches and connections

• Around 1,700 hedged pitches (approximately 1,500 for touring units), each about 100 m², laid out on flat, regular rows.
• Electricity hook‑up (6–10 A) on every pitch.
• About 400 pitches also include their own water supply and waste-water drainage.
• Twin‑axle caravans are accepted.

What this means for you: the combination of flat terrain and clear pitch organization helps with route planning, while on‑pitch connections reduce trips to service points.

Sanitary and laundry facilities

• Five large toilet blocks with electronic sliding glass doors.
• Dedicated sanitary cabins and accessible facilities for guests with reduced mobility.
• Controllable hot showers and washbasins in cabins.
• Baby and toddler sanitary facilities in the blocks.
• Laundry with washing machines and dryers.

These features support privacy, independence, and shorter travel distances for essential routines—especially valuable for travelers using mobility aids or carers.

Daily essentials and on‑site convenience

• Supermarket, boutique, and other shops for groceries and essentials.
• Large restaurant and bar with pool‑view terraces, plus snack-bar and takeaway outlets; a beach bar operates seasonally.
• ATM and safety-deposit facilities.
• Motorhome service points for water refill and waste disposal.
• Wi‑Fi throughout the campsite (charged access).

With so much available on site, you can structure your day around rest, beach time, or short strolls—without needing to leave the grounds.

Beach, pools, and activities

• Direct access to the sandy beach with an adapted route to the water for guests with reduced mobility.
• Very large outdoor pool, plus a double pool for children with slides and a water‑play area.
• Sailing and windsurfing school on the beachfront, alongside other watersports.
• Adventure crazy golf, minigolf, tennis, and several children’s playgrounds.
• Sound‑proofed disco club for evening entertainment and a broader programme of sports, games, excursions, and entertainment in season (partly in English).
