Camping Horstmannsbos is a wonderful, fairly small-scale, cozy family campground. For anyone who does not like hysterical animation teams, but likes to play and chill in nature! We were in the safari tent for 4 people and everything was fine. Field close to the big playground and swimming pond, but our son (almost 6) spent a lot of time on the field playground and behind the tents among the trees, with stones and branches and in the sand. At night marshmallows by the campfire and stamdaard 22.00h it was quiet on the campsite! Camping was also super neat, every morning someone went around with a toothpick and what was really great, was that in the morning the sandwiches were delivered to your tent! The only thing I sometimes missed was a small store at the campsite or nearby, so in terms of food it was sometimes a bit of planning ahead. But all in all a very successful vacation!

Tent pitch filled with tree roots and stones (not easy for tents), the rental of the cabanon with toilet, shower and kitchen was given to us in a rather dirty state and a little broken all over, no gas, broken garbage can, dirty fridge... The light bulbs didn't work either, and we had the technicians do it a few days after the request. Service-wise, the welcome was OK, but for 800€ a week, an effort on the overall would have been nice (knowing that another campsite offers cleaner services in better condition at a better price, only 20km from the entrance to the peninsula).

Merci bon séjour, au calme, super chalet

Thanks to David, this year he's the only animator who's given me a boost, who's re-motivated me and thanks to him, he's a good person with a smile, very welcoming and even more so. Thanks to him. Thank you. David

It’s a great place for a family but WiFi and signal was awful and bin collection needs to be more frequent pools were good and food was cheap service was amazing overall an amazing place to stay

Beautiful location and fine cottages. We had a cottage with a large lockable garden. This was very nice for the dog. Beds had hard mattresses, but that is often the case at EuroParcs. It is recommended to bring something for the mattress if you like softer light. Otherwise, we were surrounded by nice hiking trails and a quiet environment with nice lots of birds, squirrels and mice.

A spacious house fully equipped in a great location. There is a tremendous amount to do in the area. The house was clean upon arrival. Only the garden was unfortunately not maintained so the children could not really play outside. Furthermore, nothing to complain about this lovely quiet spacious place

Great camping to go with the family, they are also pet-friendly and have a pipican on the premises. A 10 min walk there is a beach where you can swim with your dog. Good services in the campsite (playground with zip line, two ping pong tables, paddle tennis courts, beach volleyball, basketball and soccer). Restaurant "Bama" in front of the pool with the lifeguard, Oscar, very friendly and attentive. And also excellent entertainment team for children and adults with water activities, in the mini-club for the kids and every night at 22h on the stage of the campsite. Unbeatable location in l'Ampolla, very close to the natural park of Deta de l'Ebre. We have stayed in boungalows and tiny home. It is the third time we come and we will repeat.

Nice quiet place. Fine house, good beds. Nice view.

I'm giving Laterna Camping a solid 4 star rating. Together with my family (2 adults, 2 kids) we have enjoyed our 3 weeks summer holiday using our own caravan. In general, I would give this camping a positive recommendation to visit. Why not a 5 star rating? I will come back to this in a moment. Laterna Camping is not just "a camping". You should see it as a conglomorate of 10 different and larger areas within a single campsite. Depending on your family situation and personal preferences you should make sure to book a spot or camping home of your liking. Laterna Camping is a beautiful, seaside camping within an area of frequent elevation. Depending on where you are, you are either at sea level or potentially 30-40 Meters above it. The campite streches out over multiple kilometers of coastline and offers a lot of nature and natural shade. The campsite is also relativily old with a very developed nature (trees, bushes, plants, etc.) toilet buildings, supermarkets and other areas look modern and are being well maintained. Before making a booking I would carefully inspect the map of the campsite and find the area most of your liking, as this would have prevented many negative reviews that I've seen about this campsite. I've also seen quite some negative reviews around pricing of extra services or food. Although some of these services, snacks or entertainment items can be a bit pricy, I generally find them within reason and often you can go around them, for example you can easily save 50% on your icecream if you don't by it directly at the beach, but at one of the the campsite supermarkets nearby. the campsite supermarkets have really been modernized over the years and offer good food and drinks for competitive pricing compared to supermarkets outside of it. The supermarkets are small, but have a modern design and friendly staff. As the supermarket generally only serve "a-brand" products and has no "home-brand" alternatives, I guess some people find it a bit expensive compared to prices they generally might see at discounters. Things that could be improved, which would make me give it a 5 star rating: - The waste disposal is frequently full, and therefore becomes a bit smelly and attracks seagulls, in general this could be modernized and improved - The sound quality on the Piazza (during concerts and performances) is not that great. It is often quite loud and the actual quality of the set-up is not good (which in compensated with a higher sound volume I guess). A better sound design could really improve it and also lower complaints from people who have their pitch nearby. - I miss a bit of cosiness and authenticity on the Piazza in the evenings. It is all quite sterile and new, but does not really give the feeling of "lets go here tonight with the family and enjoy the evening" - Consider adding smaller pools (size like in Maro Village) at the edges of the campsite, for example around sunce beach that are open during the main season - WiFi was not the best and often not working, please fix this. 5g connection in the area was also not great

The plots are large and well shaded, the toilets are close and always clean. You can walk to Sarlat, the location of the campsite is very good, 20 minutes drive from many activities: river, caves, castles and medieval villages. Ideal for families with children.

Upon arrival, we passed on quite a few defects. Complaints are responded to quickly but do not always come with the right solution.
