Hi we stayed in www.camping3estrellas.com

It is just outside Barcelona near airport , bus to city every 15 mins €1.35 each, right into City center(30mins).

Get the open top sight seeing bus to get around as Olympic Village, Football stadium, etc miles appart.
Last bus out 22.00hrs.
Stress free....

Camp site on Mediterranean, nice pool etc.

Parking in Barcelona city might be challenging!

We stayed at the Port Olympic car park site last year. It's busy and, as it's sited right at the bottom of the 'Diagonal' it's noisy at night - but for situation it can't be beat. You're only a 10 min tram ride away from the city centre and the tram stops right outside the site.

Showers and toilets are portacabin types but spotless and with LOADS of hot water.

Security was excellent. Huge fences all round with one exit and entry and a security guard on duty day and night.

If you've got bikes it's possible to cycle all over the city and the 'man-made' beaches and promenades are a joy to cycle on.

We went for the weekend and anded up staying a week - we liked Barcelona so much. From memory it was 18 euros a night.

I am fairly sure that you can park there short term as well. IF you can't find the 'Diagonal' (and I'd be surprised) just make for the sea. There are lots of signs pointing the way to the parking Jackie mentions. I did have the sat. nav. coordinates for this. If you are interested I could hunt them out.

Hi Kirsty, take the train from a few miles out or better still there is a lovely camp-site just outside Sitges and close to the C-32 at N41.232247 E01.785092. There is a bus to Barcelona from outside the gate and if memory serves me it only cost a few Euro return in '06, it was a 45/50 minute trip.
The site is also only a short walk from the beach.

I think this might be Camping El Garrofer.

It can get very busy at weekends and in high season and, bless them, the Spanish are not the quietest of nations when it comes to family parties ! There are lots of weekenders caravans there but separate from the transients area. If your blood pressure rises when the parties are still going strong at 3 am then perhaps this is not the site for you.

It has however plenty of well-serviced facilities, is convenient, very friendly and, though understandably the grass gets a bit scruffy in hot weather, it is as tidy as possible.

It's very convenient for Barcelona via the bus or train ( from Sitges- go there on the bus) and a pleasant walk or cycle to Sitges.
