Dog Spa on the Campsite: Make Use of Our Dedicated Dog Bathing Room

Traveling with your four-legged friend shouldn’t mean tracking sand into your caravan or struggling with a muddy coat after a coastal walk. That’s why our campsite offers a dedicated dog bathing room—a simple, purpose-built space that helps you keep your pet clean and your pitch pristine. In this guide, you’ll learn what our dog spa on the campsite includes, when dogs can stay with you, practical wash tips, and the convenient services available to make pet-friendly camping even easier.

What Is the Dog Bathing Room?

Our dog bathing room is a purpose-built facility located in one of the campsite’s sanitary blocks, designed so you can wash your pet comfortably on site. Both sanitary buildings are modern and can be heated, which means rinsing off salt, sand, or mud stays comfortable even in cooler months.

• Purpose-built indoor space to wash your dog
• Situated in one of the sanitary blocks for easy access
• Part of our well-maintained, heated sanitary facilities
• Helps keep caravans, motorhomes, and pitches cleaner

Because the campsite is open all year, you can rely on this room whenever you visit—ideal after beach days or wet-weather walks.

When Can Dogs Stay at the Campsite?

To ensure a great experience for everyone, our pet policy is seasonal and specific:

• On camping plots: Pets are welcome until 05/07 and again after 22/08.
• In bungalows: Animals are not allowed in bungalows at any time.

During the core summer period (roughly mid-July to late August), dogs are not accepted on the campsite. If you’re planning a peak-season holiday, see our recommended boarding option below.

Summer Alternative: Comfortable Care for Your Dog

If you’re visiting in July or August, we work with Canisapiens in Ventalló—a dedicated leisure and well-being space for dogs where pets can be looked after in optimal conditions. It’s a practical solution if your plans fall during the period when dogs can’t stay on site.

Why a Dog Spa on the Campsite Matters

Even short walks can leave a dog’s coat full of salt, sand, dust, or pollen—all of which can irritate the skin and get everywhere inside your unit. Rinsing your dog promptly helps:

• Remove salt and sand after beach time, supporting skin and coat comfort
• Reduce mud and allergens before they reach bedding and upholstery
• Keep your pitch, caravan, or motorhome cleaner with less sweeping and laundering

Pair the dog bathing room with our on-site laundry (washing machines and tumble-dryers) to refresh towels, throws, and pet bedding quickly.

How to Use the Dog Bathing Room: Practical Tips

You know your dog best. These simple, widely accepted tips make wash time smooth and stress-free:

1. Bring essentials
   • Lead: Keep your dog secure and calm.
   • Dog shampoo: Use a product formulated for pets.
   • Towels and a brush: Speed up drying and detangle coats.
2. Rinse first
   • Use lukewarm water to gently remove surface sand and dirt before shampoo.
3. Suds smartly
   • Lather lightly, avoiding eyes and ears.
4. Rinse thoroughly
   • Ensure all shampoo is out to prevent itching.
5. Dry well
   • Towel-dry and brush through; remove moisture between pads and under the collar.
6. Finish the job
   • Wipe the workstation so it’s tidy for the next guest.

If you need directions to the dog bathing room or current guidelines, ask Reception—they’re happy to help.

Pet-Friendly Comforts That Make a Difference

Several campsite features help make stays more comfortable for pet owners, especially outside the peak summer period:

• Shady pitches: Mulberry, pine, and poplar trees provide generous natural shade in summer.
• Flat, well-drained terrain: Easy to navigate with leads and water bowls.
• Beach proximity: The campsite is about 800 m from the beach and 2 km from L’Estartit—handy for strolls and supplies.
• All-year opening: Plan off-peak escapes with cooler temperatures for longer, more comfortable walks.
• Laundry on site: Wash and dry dog towels, covers, and bedding when needed.
