Planning a holiday should be simple, inclusive, and stress-free. That’s the promise behind Camping Without Barriers at Les Medes—where flat pitches, accessible sanitary blocks, and a pool lift make getting around easier for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility, and families with prams. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how the site supports comfortable movement, daily routines, and leisure from season to season.

To help you compare options quickly, here’s a concise overview.

Key features at a glance

• Flat, well-drained pitches with plentiful summer shade
• Accessible sanitary blocks with dedicated cabins, showers, and toilets; heated in colder months
• Pool lift on the large outdoor pool; indoor heated pool with good accessible facilities
• Locker-equipped changing room at the indoor pool

Site-wide access and movement

Les Medes is designed to keep everyday movement straightforward.

• Flat, shaded pitches: All camping pitches are flat and have good rain drainage. In summer, shade from mulberry, pine, and poplar trees helps keep pitches comfortable.
• Wheelchair and pram suitability: The overall terrain and key facilities are planned to accommodate wheelchair users and prams.
• Choose-your-own pitch: On arrival, reception provides a site plan of free plots so you can walk around and select the pitch that best suits your needs—whether that’s proximity to sanitary blocks, pools, or the shop.
• Proximity to the beach and town: The campsite is about 800 metres from the beach and roughly 2 km from L’Estartit. From June to September, a small road train stops near the campsite and links to the town centre.

Why this matters: Flat surfaces reduce effort for wheelchair users and caregivers pushing prams, while clear access to amenities shortens daily routes and saves energy.

Practical essentials nearby

• Parking: A free, outdoor, unguarded car park sits less than 50 metres from the entrance.
• Transfers for longer stays: For stays of more than one week, you can arrange on-demand transfers in advance from Girona Airport or the Figueres–Vilafant high-speed train station, including night-time pickups.
• On-site safety: The campsite is equipped with an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Accessible bathrooms and daily routines

Daily routines are easier when facilities are comfortable, modern, and designed for access.

• Two modern sanitary blocks: Both buildings feature fully accessible cabins, showers, and toilets designed for guests with reduced mobility.
• Heated for winter comfort: The sanitary blocks are heated in colder months, so showers and washrooms remain comfortable year-round.
• Family-friendly touches: You’ll find baby baths in the sanitary areas and laundry facilities (washing machines and dryers) on site.
• Motorhome and hygiene services: Dedicated motorhome services and a chemical-toilet disposal point (WC chemists) are available.

Tip: If you prefer a short route to facilities, choose a pitch close to a sanitary block when you arrive.

Pools, wellness, and relaxation without barriers

Les Medes offers both outdoor and indoor swimming options across the seasons, with access that supports a wide range of needs.

Outdoor pools (approximately 1 May–15 September, weather permitting)

• Two outdoor pools: One for children and one for adults.
• Pool lift: The large outdoor pool is equipped with a lifting crane to assist people with reduced mobility.
• Landscaped leisure area: The pool zone includes a large outdoor chess board, making it easy to enjoy low-impact leisure nearby.

Indoor heated pool (15 September–15 June)

• Comfortable temperature and size: The indoor pool is kept at an average 28 °C and measures 11.5 × 4 metres—ideal for steady, low-impact exercise.
• Locker-equipped changing room: A changing room with lockers lets you store personal items safely while you swim.
• Wellness extras: The indoor area includes a sauna and solarium, with massage available during the indoor-pool season.
• Hygiene note: Swimming hats are compulsory in the indoor pool under regional regulations.
• Accessibility note: The heated indoor pool offers good accessible facilities, making it a practical out-of-season alternative.

Why this matters: Pool lifts and warm-water environments support joint-friendly activity and rehabilitation, while accessible changing spaces and clear hygiene rules streamline the experience.

Eating, shopping, and on-site services

Moving less across the day is easier when necessities are close at hand.

• Shop (year-round): Find daily newspapers, freshly baked bread, and a broad range of items for your stay.
• Snack bar–pizzeria (year-round): Enjoy a large terrace, indoor seating prepared for colder days, plus a library corner and billiards.
• Restaurant (01 April–31 October): Menu or à la carte service, with take-away meals on request.

These on-site options reduce the need for frequent trips into town and help you adapt your day around energy levels and weather conditions.

Sports, green spaces, and gentle activity

Staying active isn’t just for athletes—it’s also about accessible spaces where you can choose your pace.

• Sports zone (08:00–23:00): Includes a multi-sports court, beach-volleyball court, and a quick tennis court (reserve at reception).
• Green rest area (08:00–23:00): A landscaped green rest area with benches provides a calm place to sit and recharge between activities.

Tip: If you use mobility aids or prams, start with the green rest area and poolside chess board for low-effort leisure between swims.
