Tip from our team
When planning your stay at Camping Playa Barà, my biggest piece of advice is to embrace the local rhythm of the region. Many guests find that the best way to start the day is by walking down to the beach early, before the sun reaches its peak, to enjoy the quiet beauty of the coastline. If you are travelling with children, the pool area can be quite active during the afternoon; I highly recommend utilizing the midday hours to explore the local charm of Roc de Sant Gaietà. The architecture there is truly unique, and it provides a wonderful, quieter contrast to the excitement of the resort. For your evening plans, the Roman amphitheatre is the beating heart of the resort. If you want the most comfortable experience, head to the surrounding terrace bars slightly before the main show starts—it is the perfect way to secure a great view while enjoying a refreshing local beverage. If you are bringing your own caravan or camper, please take note that while the park is beautifully landscaped with mature trees, it is always a smart idea to confirm your specific pitch location upon arrival to ensure easy navigation with larger vehicles. Finally, do not limit your experience to the resort boundaries. The Costa Dorada is rich in history and culture. A trip to the nearby Roman ruins in Tarragona is a fantastic, educational day out for the whole family that feels like stepping back in time. Always keep comfortable walking shoes in your suitcase, as the coastal paths offer some of the most stunning, hidden scenic views in the province.

Vacation worthy of a scam like the ones you see in TV reports, like: the worst camping vacations“Zero stars! I had never been so poorly accommodated at a campsite!!!! Absolutely disastrous Tohapi/Homair experience at this campsite that only has 5 stars in its price! Very basic mobile home looking directly onto a 3-meter wall with barbed wire. And just behind this wall….. a railroad line (which does not appear on the map) with several trains passing every hour day and night. Mobile home also wedged in by 3 other mobile homes in more than immediate proximity….. the living room window looking out onto the neighbors' living room window. 3 AC units less than a meter from the walls and therefore a hell of a noise….. on top of that of the trains. As a result, no direct light enters the mobile home, which smelled musty because of it…. And as a bonus, no drinking water in the mobile home. No discount or commercial gesture on site or afterwards despite our numerous requests and the Homair team on site was almost contemptuous….. no space to park our vehicle near the mobile home….. who would pay (2800 euros for 2 weeks) for such a vacation???? Well, the Tohapi/Homair customers who were really ripped off….. there were several of us French people who were appalled by our vacation conditions…. Run from Tohapi/Homair….. it’s a disgrace ….really!”
C2309OZsandrak- Very beautiful
“A wonderful experience from beginning to end. My husband and I have had the pleasure of receiving a massage from Raquel and we can only say good things. It has been, without a doubt, one of the best massages we have received, and we have left completely relaxed and happy. Raquel is a charming person, very professional, attentive, and careful with every detail. You can tell she does her work with true passion and dedication. We recommend her 100% to everyone. If you are looking for a truly special massage and an unforgettable experience, do not hesitate: Raquel is the right person! ❤️ Thank you so much, Raquel. We will return without a doubt!”
micheledS7489NY - Well kept site close to beach
“The site is incredibly beautiful with well kept greenery. Toilet blocks etc also very clean. We stayed in Lifestyle Emerald lodge. Well placed between shops, pool, amphitheater and away from noise. Reps friendly and helpful We found theres small 50c charge for cups to encourage recycling. Swim up bar was great. Recommend Mojitos. Pool beautiful but too small for number of guests and difficult to get a sun lounger. Food in bars seemed pricy but they are very large portions. Serving staff friendly especially when we we're trying our Spanish to order. The shop reasonably priced and well stocked - especially butchers. Entertainment team work incredibly hard.Lots of effort into the shows - although this Butlins type Entertainment isn't our style (prefer bands, kids foam parties etc) and it starts way too late at 10.30pm. The beach is near. Very clean. Lovely walk to the little town which is stunning but not much in the way of shops. We usually go to Castel Montgri but this is a quieter beach front alternative.”
