A sandy beach day and a scenic coastal drive are unforgettable—until salt spray and dust cling to your car. The good news: the car wash at Camping Les Medes lets you rinse and refresh your vehicle without leaving the campsite. Our self-service car-wash point is available to all guests on the grounds, so you can protect your paintwork, keep windows clear, and head to your next outing looking road-ready.

Quick answers (for fast readers)

• Where is the car wash? On the campsite grounds, adjacent to the motorhome service area with waste disposal.
• Who can use it? All guests staying at Camping Les Medes.
• What type is it? A self-service car-wash point.
• Need help? Ask Reception for on-the-spot guidance and the most convenient times to use it.

Why keeping your vehicle clean matters on the Costa Brava

Driving and parking near the sea can leave a fine layer of salt and sand on bodywork, glass, and moving parts. Over time, that residue can dull finishes and reduce visibility. A quick wash helps:

• Preserve your vehicle’s exterior by removing salt and grit.
• Keep mirrors and windows clear for safer driving.
• Prevent dirt transferring into your accommodation or gear.

And because Camping Les Medes sits in an exceptional coastal setting—inside the Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park—it’s easy to combine outdoor adventures with smart upkeep that keeps your vehicle in top condition.

Where to find the car wash at Camping Les Medes

You’ll find the self-service car-wash point on the campsite grounds, next to the motorhome service area with waste disposal. Reception can show you its exact location on the site map when you arrive. Just stop by, and the team will point you in the right direction.

Tip: If you’re arriving via the GE-641 (Torroella de Montgrí–L’Estartit), follow the posted directions to the campsite; once checked in, reception will guide you to the car-wash area quickly and easily.

How to use a self-service car-wash point (simple, smart steps)

Every setup differs, but these universal best practices will help you clean efficiently and courteously:

1. Park fully within the marked area to keep lanes clear for other guests.
2. Bring the basics you prefer (e.g., microfiber cloths, a soft sponge, and a gentle, biodegradable car shampoo) for a swirl-free finish.
3. Start with a thorough rinse to lift sand and salt before you make contact with the paint.
4. Wash top-to-bottom in sections to avoid re-depositing dirt.
5. Rinse wheels and arches last—these areas hold the most grit.
6. Finish with a quick dry using clean microfiber towels to prevent water spots.
7. Leave the space tidy and ready for the next user.

For current guidance and any on-site instructions, ask Reception—they’re happy to help you make quick work of the job.

Who can use it—and for which vehicles?

The car wash at Camping Les Medes is available to all guests. Whether you’re driving a family car or touring with a motorhome, using the designated area keeps cleaning easy and contained. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle’s size or accessories need special handling, just check with Reception before you begin.

Eco‑minded cleaning at a sustainability‑focused campsite

Practical tips to get a better clean in less time

• Tackle salt early: After beach days or windy coastal drives, a quick rinse stops salt from lingering on glass and paint.
• Two-bucket method: Use one bucket for soapy water and another for rinsing your sponge or mitt; it helps reduce swirl marks.
• Microfiber matters: Soft microfiber cloths lift dirt without scratching and speed up drying.
• Glass last: Clean exterior glass after the final rinse to remove any overspray or streaks for crystal-clear views.
• Check the forecast: If a quick shower is due, a fast rinse and dry today may be all you need; save the deep clean for a clear day.
• Mind the queue: If others are waiting, focus on the essentials; you can do detailing later at your pitch.
