Glamping Gains Traction: Premium Camping Experiences Rise in Spain

The rise of motorhome and campervan travel is transforming the perception of camping holidays. No longer solely associated with adventurous trips, impromptu routes, or budget-friendly escapes sacrificing comfort for freedom, ‘glamping’ represents a blend of both worlds.

Camping Premium: Combining Glamour and Camping

Increasing numbers of travelers desire the freedom of mobile accommodation while retaining the comforts of a traditional tourist lodging. This has led to what’s known as ‘camping premium,’ combining ‘glamour’ and ‘camping’ in its English designation.

This trend is particularly prevalent along the Mediterranean coast, where campsites and resorts have evolved to offer comprehensive vacation experiences, including swimming pools, water parks, restaurants, wellness areas, sports facilities, and leisure activities alongside prepared pitches for vehicles of various sizes.

Several Spanish campsites are leading the way. CamperDays has selected some of the best, including La Ballena Alegre in Sant Pere Pescador, Girona, offering beachfront access, a spa, gym, water park, and sports facilities. Cypsela Resort in Pals also focuses on family entertainment with a water park and proximity to the medieval town and beaches. Devesa Gardens in Valencia combines the Albufera Natural Park and El Saler beach, providing opportunities for both coastal and inland excursions.

These premium campsites offer amenities such as electricity, water, drainage, and Wi-Fi on their pitches, creating a comfortable base for exploring the region.
