Hi, you could try Camping Calpe Mar, it's the best site in Calpe (IMO), short walk to town, living and aldi very close, beautiful site good clean hot showers etc, been before and going again for a month in May (covid permitting) have a look at their website, google Camping Calpe Mar, about half an hour north of BenidormFreezing here in France, so going to make our way to warmer climes for a few weeks. Have narrowed it down to 3 sites, never been to any of them before, which one is our best bet ?
- Bonterra at Benicassim
- Alicante Imperium at Villajoyosa
- Devesa Gardens Resort at El Saler
We don't want to go any further south, want electric hook up and hot showers, somewhere we can walk to shops/bar/restaurant and also public transport to somewhere a bit bigger and more interesting. Of the three, think El Saler is probably the favourite but open to suggestions
We've stayed a few times at the Vilanova Park (Barcelona area) which we really like as it provides all the above but thought this time a bit further south might be a warmer, plus somewhere new.
Recommendations/suggestions please
Many thanks
MrsS
PS MrS likes to play golf...
We're just across the border from you in 85390 [when not freezing our bits off in Scotland as we are at present!]
We are at 79390 so a bit further inland but have friends in that area. MrS used to tread the boards with a group that performed at several locations including the theatre/cinema at La Chataigneraie - his biggest claim to fame was probably when he played René in Allo Allo. Great fun and massive audiences, including quite a few French who found the language easier to follow as it was English with a French accent
although goodness knows what they made of the policeman. But I digress...
thanks that is interesting. We visited Calpe once and liked the old town so will put that on the list
We're in Cheffois, but use la Chataigneraie for Banking, shopping and trips to the dechetterie, where there is a space reserved for me Skip 9 when I pop my clogs [Dechets Ultimes]. My 2nd cousin was the Artistic Director of The Mousetrap, and I could have been an actor. I had the ankles for it; could have worn tights, I could ...

Well if you want to take advantage of Skip 9 don't be too long about it as they are tightening up the regulations and charging more and more all the time. And if they start to charge by the weight for Skip 9...We're in Cheffois, but use la Chataigneraie for Banking, shopping and trips to the dechetterie, where there is a space reserved for me Skip 9 when I pop my clogs [Dechets Ultimes].

If they charge by weight, then I'm done for; you don't many of me to the 1/4lb as my granny used to say ... It is a standing joke between my wife and the Attendant, that he will help to throw me into Skip 9, as long as she can drive my mortal remains to the dechetterie, a regular mini cabaret 'entre le Francais et l'Ecossaise' about 'Le pauvre Anglais'Well if you want to take advantage of Skip 9 don't be too long about it as they are tightening up the regulations and charging more and more all the time.

Hope to encounter your beautiful ankles one fine day (emphasis on fine, don't want to give you pneumonia displaying them in this weather lol)
It’s empty, we have a huge sunny pitch. WiFi 18 euros a month. It’s Spanish bank holiday this weekend and reception say they have a lot of Spanish arriving for the weekend. See you soon have a safe trip
Presumably the Spanish are just coming for a few days for the St Nicholas, so should be ok by end of next week. Won't bother with booking then and look forward to meeting you in a sunny spot
. Many thanks for all your help - and everyone else too.
It’s lovelyAt Tours at the minute rained all the way from the tunnel be at Bonterra Monday hope nice a warm weather
very sunny, loads of empty pitches but remember it’s a Bank Holiday on Monday and Wednesday next week so get some shopping in x
Be very careful if you are using AP7 could be high winds today, it wasn’t very pleasant when we came last Thursday either. Still lots of plots available, we are on D at the top, huge sunny pitch xAt Tours at the minute rained all the way from the tunnel be at Bonterra Monday hope nice a warm weather
Be careful of wind on AP7 loads of sunny pitches here xPresumably the Spanish are just coming for a few days for the St Nicholas, so should be ok by end of next week. Won't bother with booking then and look forward to meeting you in a sunny spot
Glad the weather sounds good we're due there on the 18th, really looking forward to it. By quiet do you mean not many british or not many of anyone? Is it less than 50% full?It’s lovely
Less than 50% even with the Spanish here for Bank Holiday weekend. Good choice of pitches though x
We are on D 9 3 very sheltered and sunny xPresumably the Spanish are just coming for a few days for the St Nicholas, so should be ok by end of next week. Won't bother with booking then and look forward to meeting you in a sunny spot
Can’t wait! Sunny here today but not as warm as you’ve got. Is D the area to head for them?
It’s quiet up here and huge sunny pitches, a few Spanish turned up for the holiday, so a bit livelier. It’s busy by the entrance x
I understand Bonterra is even more expensive but in our case, Imperium has €169 "behind the bar" as a result of having to cancel last year for some inexplicable reason???
Bob.
Thanks Bob will bear it in mind for another timeJanie just had 6 days Vancation while I was in hospital, she loved it and said we will have to go back, and to be honest she is less of a benidorm person than me.
