170 Pitches, 12 Bungalows: How Our Moderate Size Enhances Your Holiday Experience
Finding the right campsite often comes down to one simple question: will it feel easy and enjoyable once you arrive? If you want comfort without overcrowding, variety without endless walking, and a welcoming atmosphere without losing privacy, 170 pitches and 12 bungalows can make a real difference. At Camping Les Medes, that moderate size shapes the whole experience.
This is not a place designed around sheer scale. It is a family-run, moderately-sized campsite in L’Estartit on the Costa Brava, open all year and created for guests who value convenience, personal attention, and a quieter holiday setting. With around 170 individual pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, plus a total of twelve bungalows distributed among three models, the campsite offers a balanced environment that suits families, divers, couples, and nature lovers alike.
In this guide, you will discover why a moderate-size campsite can improve your stay, what that means in practical terms at Camping Les Medes, and how to choose between pitches and bungalows for your next holiday.
What does “moderate size” actually mean for your holiday?
A moderate-size campsite sits in the sweet spot between too small and too large. It gives you enough accommodation choice and on-site facilities to stay comfortable, while still keeping the atmosphere manageable and relaxed.
At Camping Les Medes, that scale includes:
- Around 170 pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes
- 12 bungalows across three available models
- A total site area of 2.6 hectares
- A year-round opening period
- A setting that is described as family-oriented and tailored to families, divers, and nature lovers
For many guests, this matters because holiday quality is not only about what a campsite offers. It is also about how easy it is to enjoy those facilities day after day.
Why 170 pitches and 12 bungalows can improve the guest experience
1. A more personal atmosphere
One of the clearest advantages of a moderate-size campsite is the atmosphere it creates. Camping Les Medes is described as being small enough for the owners and staff to know their visitors, with personal attention and year-round facilities.
That kind of environment often changes the tone of a holiday. Instead of feeling anonymous, guests can enjoy a more human and approachable experience. This is especially valuable for:
- Families travelling with children
- Guests planning longer stays
- First-time visitors to L’Estartit
- Divers and outdoor travellers who appreciate practical support
A campsite does not have to be huge to feel complete. In many cases, a more balanced scale helps service feel more responsive and relaxed.
2. Less crowding, more calm
A holiday should help you switch off. Moderate size supports that by reducing the sense of constant bustle that can come with larger entertainment-focused sites.
Camping Les Medes is presented as different from large, entertainment-led campsites along the coast. Instead, it offers a quiet environment shaped by its moderate scale. For guests, that can mean:
- Easier movement around the site
- A more peaceful day-to-day rhythm
- Better conditions for rest between activities
- A holiday atmosphere that suits both active and relaxed stays
This matters even more when you are combining beach time, excursions, swimming, cycling, or diving. After a full day out, returning to a calmer campsite can be part of the reward.
3. Shorter distances on site
One practical benefit of a campsite covering 2.6 hectares is that getting around is generally more straightforward. While every guest values different things, shorter walking distances can make a stay smoother for all kinds of travellers.
That is useful when you want quick access to daily essentials or shared spaces such as:
- Swimming pools
- The playground
- The entertainment room
- Dining facilities
- Sports and leisure areas
For couples, this adds convenience. For families, it can simplify daily routines. For guests staying in bungalows or on pitches, it helps keep the holiday feeling easy rather than logistical.
The pitch experience: space, shade, and practical comfort
For guests travelling with their own equipment, the campsite’s pitches offer a strong mix of space and convenience.
Key facts about the pitches
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Number of pitches | Around 170 |
| Surface area | 70 to 80 m² |
| Capacity | Up to 6 persons |
| Electricity | 6 or 10 Amp |
| Water supply | Yes |
| Drainage | Yes, throughout the campsite except for 10 pitches on K street (even numbers) |
| Ground | Level with good drainage if it rains |
| Shade | Plenty of summer shade from mulberries, pines and poplars |
These details show why the pitch area works well for tents, caravans, and motorhomes. The plots are spacious enough to support comfort, and the services help make day-to-day camping more practical.
Why the pitch layout benefits guests
The value of a pitch is not only its size. It is also about what that space allows you to do.
At Camping Les Medes, guests benefit from:
- Level ground, which helps with setup and comfort
- Good drainage in rainy conditions
- Electricity options of 6 or 10 Amp
- Water supply and drainage on the plots
- Natural summer shade from mature trees
This combination is especially appealing if you want a traditional camping stay with added convenience. If you are comparing accommodation types, the pitches are a natural topic to explore alongside the campsite’s bungalow options.
The bungalow experience: a smaller collection with a more intimate feel
Camping Les Medes has 12 bungalows in total, distributed across three models. That smaller number helps preserve the campsite’s moderate, personal character while giving guests an alternative to touring accommodation.
Bungalow options on site
The available models include:
- Bungalow Park - 4 persons
- Bungalow Shop - 4 persons
- Bungalow 2 persons
This variety allows guests to choose an option that fits different travel styles, from couple stays to small family holidays.
A closer look at the Bungalow 2 persons
The Bungalow 2 persons is designed for couples and families with one child. It includes:
- A living-dining room
- A sofa-bed and an additional bed
- A full bathroom

- A private garden
It also comes equipped with:
- Satellite TV
- Bed linen and towels
- Cutlery and kitchen utensils
- Fridge
- Heating
- CD radio
- Air conditioning
- Wi-Fi Internet connection
These bungalows are located on the ground floor, and the swimming pools, playground and entertainment room are all nearby. That supports the same ease and accessibility that define the campsite’s overall scale.
A moderate-size campsite with full holiday value
Choosing a moderate-size campsite does not mean sacrificing facilities. Camping Les Medes combines its manageable scale with a broad holiday offer.

A location that supports active, flexible holidays
Camping Les Medes is situated opposite the Medes Islands Nature Reserve on the Costa Brava. Guests are within walking distance of the beach and can enjoy access to the cultural and natural attractions of L’Estartit and the Montgrí Natural Park.
For holiday planning, this means you can combine:
- Beach time
- Nature-based outings
- Diving experiences
- Family leisure on site
- Relaxed evenings back at the campsite
A moderate-size base can make those plans easier to manage. You spend less energy navigating an oversized site and more time enjoying the destination.
Who benefits most from this kind of campsite?
The scale of Camping Les Medes is especially attractive for guests who want a campsite that feels complete without feeling overwhelming.
It is a strong fit for:
