Lodge Duplex Plus Montgrí - 5 persons

Very well maintained and attractive campsite. We slept in a beautiful Montgri glamping tent. The kids (11 and 13 yrs) loved their own floor. Fully equipped. What really struck me about this campground is that guests mostly stick around their own accommodations and do not seek out the central spot on the campground. A cup of coffee in the morning, … or a drink in the afternoon: there was hardly anyone at the restaurant. While the bar is open all day in high season. So I found that a bit boring. The pool was nice to cool off in, otherwise nothing special. The pool party that was organized once a week was a great success for the kids. For the parents there was free sangria :-). The animation is well organized. For each age group there is something to do during the day. Through the app you can see everything in advance. In the evening there are many children walking around who meet each other. The older teenagers walk towards the beach, The nights were quiet. In about 15 minutes you walk through a forest path to the beach. In the high season this small beach is very crowded, we only lay there once. In the evenings you can eat there very nicely and the walk through the forest is also a bit cooler. Note: at good restaurants really make reservations. You can take a walk along the shoreline with beautiful views of the bay. Environment: At Platja de Riells (wide beach with promenade) and Platja del Rec del Molí (small and cozy) are plenty of parking spaces. At Platja de la Riba definitely eat somewhere (do make reservations!) and store, but skip the beach because of crowds and small. Read more Show less

I agree with the criticism of Wecamp’s new management of the campground. We’ve been going there for 4 or 5 years, and we’ve noticed a real change for the worse. It’s truly sad that there are companies dedicated to destroying traditional camping and creating a “different camping experience”—one that’s really designed for people who hate going … camping. It’s sad that on a national holiday like Catalonia’s Diada, we can’t even get together for dinner and a post-dinner chat because some out-of-place Germans call us out shortly after 11 p.m. It’s even sadder because Wecamp is a Catalan company, but it’s clear which audience they’re targeting. It’s a long weekend in Catalonia—it’s still officially summer—and there’s not a trace of any entertainment, activities, or a kids’ club; the supermarket and restaurant are closed. Instead, they offer sites without kitchens because “camping” with your own tent or trailer is now prohibited. At this rate, RVs will soon be banned too. They should change their name to “We Don’t Camp.”
I’m giving it one star in defense of traditional campgrounds—the family-friendly ones where the people across from you say hello, and don’t take offense if you walk around in a bikini or without a shirt when it’s 40 °C in August—and in defense of the true meaning of the verb “to camp.” I understand there has to be room for everyone, but don’t call it a campground, and don’t take over what already exists and works well.
As for the rest, it’s a beautiful campground. This and the rating are thanks to previous managers. Read more Show less
