Regular Rows: How Las Dunas’ Flat, 100 m² Pitches Simplify Caravan Setup
Arriving with a caravan should feel like the start of a holiday—not a wrestling match with chocks and cables. At Las Dunas on the Costa Brava, the combination of flat, 100 m² pitches and long, regular parallel rows turns setup into a quick, stress-free routine. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how the site’s pitch design helps you maneuver with confidence, level in minutes, and connect your services—so you can head straight for the beach or pool.
Why pitch design matters for a smooth arrival
Caravan setup is easier when three ingredients align: level ground, clear access, and reliable service points. Las Dunas brings these together by offering approximately 1,700 individually hedged pitches—about 100 m² each—laid out on flat ground in long, regular rows. This thoughtful geometry reduces tight turns, makes reversing predictable, and gives you room to position your caravan precisely.
- Flat surface = faster leveling. On level ground, you’ll spend less time adjusting ramps and legs, and more time relaxing.
- Regular rows = easier maneuvering. Predictable lanes simplify approach angles, especially for twin-axle caravans (which are accepted on the touring pitches).
- Space to organize. Around 100 m² per pitch lets you unhook, park your car (cars may remain on-pitch), and still keep awnings and outdoor gear neatly arranged behind hedged boundaries.
The essentials at your fingertips: power, water, and more
Every pitch at Las Dunas is equipped with an electricity hook-up rated at 6–10 A. If you prefer full services on your pitch, around 400 pitches also include their own water supply and wastewater drainage. Selected pitches are fitted with a gas connection and a TV hook-up—ideal if you travel with compatible equipment and want a streamlined installation.
Here’s how the core options break down:
| Pitch feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| Size | About 100 m² |
| Surface | Grass |
| Layout | Flat, long parallel rows |
| Boundaries | Individually hedged |
| Electricity | 6–10 A on all pitches |
| Water + drainage | On around 400 pitches |
| Gas hook-up | On selected pitches |
| TV connection | On selected pitches |
| Car on pitch | Permitted (car-free areas also available) |
Tip: If you know you’ll want on-pitch water and drainage, request one of the serviced pitches during booking.
Smart site layout that reduces friction
Las Dunas’ long, regular rows are complemented by practical site details that make arrivals and day-to-day routines simpler:
- Mostly asphalted internal roads for predictable traction and tidy access to your row.
- Individually hedged plots that help you align the caravan and clearly define space for awnings and outdoor dining.
- Grass pitch surface that stays comfortable underfoot and keeps your setup organized.
- Car-free pitch zones available if you prefer a vehicle-free environment; otherwise, cars may stay on your pitch for easy unloading.
Quick connections, cleaner routines
Once you’re parked and leveled, the site’s sanitary infrastructure speeds up everything from handwashing to dish duty:
- Five large sanitary blocks spaced around the campsite.
- Private washbasin cabins and controllable hot showers for comfort.
- Around 97 dishwashing sinks, so you’re rarely waiting after meals.
- Baby and toddler facilities integrated into the blocks.
- Electronic sliding glass doors for smooth, touch-free access.
Guests consistently note that the blocks are cleaned several times a day and score highly for overall cleanliness—so your bathroom trips stay as efficient as your pitch setup.
Services that support a seamless stay
Convenience doesn’t stop at the pitch edge. On-site amenities help you fine-tune your setup and settle in quickly:
- Wi‑Fi across the campsite, with many pitches offering their own Wi‑Fi. Pre‑bookable private Wi‑Fi routers are available for easy connectivity on arrival.
- Camping-gas available on site, plus a car-wash and a dog-wash area.
- Safety-deposit facilities for valuables.
- Supermarket, bakery, boutique, and takeaway outlets so you can stock up without leaving the grounds.
Traveling with pets? Dogs are accepted in one designated section of the campsite—book within that area to comply with site rules. There’s also a dog park and a dog swimming zone to keep four‑legged campers happy.
Arrival routes that work for caravans
Getting the approach right sets you up for a calm check‑in and an easy glide into your row:
- From the AP‑7/E15, exit at 5 and follow the route toward L’Escala; the campsite is well sign‑posted from the turn toward Sant Martí d’Empúries.
- With caravans and larger motorhomes, a recommended alternative is to leave at exit 5, take the GI‑632 toward L’Escala, then at the roundabout northwest of L’Escala follow Sant Martí d’Empúries / Sant Pere Pescador (GIP‑6307) for ~4.5 km to avoid a narrow bridge on the more direct route.
The site welcomes twin‑axle caravans and even offers coach access, reflecting the generous scale of a property spread over roughly 29 hectares.
Choosing the right pitch for your setup style
- Prefer plug‑and‑play? Request a serviced pitch with water and drainage.
- Traveling with pets? Book in the dog‑permitted section.
- Want quiet surroundings? Consider car‑free pitch zones or pick rows set back from late‑evening foot traffic.
- Crave minimal walking to the beach? A guest review suggests that areas A–E are closer to the sea, while deeper rows trade distance for added calm.
Pitches are usually available even in the main season, though reserving ahead is wise if you want a specific pitch type or location.
Practical takeaways: set up faster at Las Dunas
- Arrive aligned. Use the regular rows to position your tow vehicle straight with your pitch—this minimizes reversing corrections.
- Carry the right lead. With 6–10 A power, bring a properly rated, weatherproof mains lead and RCD protection according to your setup.
- Level lightly. Flat ground means modest ramps typically suffice; keep a spirit level handy for quick fine‑tuning.
- Sort your services. If water and drainage matter, request one of the ~400 serviced pitches during booking.
- Pick your connection upgrades. Ask for a pitch with gas and TV hook‑ups if you plan to use them.
- Decide on vehicle policy. Choose car‑on‑pitch for easy unloading, or car‑free for a quieter, cleaner footprint.
- Mind your pets. Book within the designated dog section and make use of the dog park and dog swimming zone.
- Use the facilities smartly. Time dishwashing and showers slightly off‑peak; the five sanitary blocks and many dishwashing sinks keep waits short.
- Plan your approach. Follow the caravan‑friendly route via GIP‑6307 to avoid narrow spots.
