Selecting Your Ideal Pitch at Camping Les Medes: How Reception Helps You Settle In

Arrive confident, settle fast, and start relaxing. At Camping Les Medes, selecting your ideal pitch is simple thanks to a friendly Reception team that hands you a map of available plots and helps you match your needs with the right spot. With flat, shaded pitches, reliable utilities, and easy access to facilities, you’ll be set up and unwinding in no time—just 800 m from the beach and 2 km from the town of L’Estartit.

In this guide, you’ll learn how the pitch-selection process works, what to know about sizes and connections, and practical tips to pick the best location for your stay—all grounded in the details that matter when you’re on the road.

How Reception Makes Arrival Easy

Reception is your first stop on arrival. You’ll be welcomed and given a map of free pitches so you can choose the spot that suits you best.

What the map helps you decide

• Approximate location and orientation of each pitch
• Proximity to amenities like pools, sanitary blocks, and sports courts
• Street references (useful if you have special utility needs)

Quick questions to consider at Reception

• Do you prefer more shade or sun at your pitch?
• Do you need 10 A power or is 6 A sufficient?
• Do you want to be closer to the sanitary buildings or pool area?
• Will you benefit from immediate drainage on the pitch (important for convenient grey-water handling)?

With around 170 individual pitches, there’s ample choice to match different rig sizes, family setups, and preferences.

Know Your Pitch: Sizes, Capacity and Connections

Choosing well starts with knowing the specifications of Camping Les Medes pitches.

• Size: Each pitch measures approximately 70–80 m²
• Capacity: Up to 6 people per pitch
• Electricity: 6 or 10 A supply via CEE three‑phase sockets
• Water and Drainage: Water inlet on all pitches; drainage is available across the campsite except 10 even‑numbered plots on Street K
• Terrain: All pitches are flat with good rain drainage
• Shade: In summer, pitches benefit from shade provided by mulberry, pine and poplar trees

Tip for setup: For the water inlet, bring a Gardena ½‑inch or ¾‑inch hose connector (or equivalent) to hook up smoothly.

Choosing the Best Spot for You

Finding the perfect pitch is about balancing convenience, comfort, and the way you travel.

Proximity to amenities

• Pools: Choose a pitch near the outdoor pool area if daily swims are on your plan. Two outdoor pools (adult and children’s) typically operate from 1 May to 15 September, weather permitting. The large outdoor pool includes a crane for guests with reduced mobility.
• Indoor pool and wellness: From 15 September to 15 June, the indoor heated pool (approx. 11.5 × 4 m, around 28 °C) is ideal for cooler months; remember swimming hats are compulsory. A sauna and professional massage treatments are available year‑round for an additional fee.
• Sanitary blocks: There are two modern sanitary buildings, and all showers are free (no tokens). A nursery area with baby‑changing facilities is available.
• Sports courts: If you’re active, consider a pitch near the quick tennis court (book at Reception), multi‑sports court, beach‑volleyball court, and a green rest area with benches—accessible from 08:00 to 23:00.
• Food and essentials: The shop is open year‑round with freshly baked bread and newspapers. The snack bar‑pizzeria operates all year; the restaurant serves from 01 April to 31 October with set menus, à la carte, and take‑away.

Utilities fit

• If you run multiple appliances at once (e.g., kettle + air‑con), opt for 10 A. For lighter usage, 6 A is typically sufficient. In general, match the amperage to your appliance load and avoid running high‑draw items simultaneously on lower amperage.
• If on‑pitch drainage is important to you, simply select a plot that’s not among the even‑numbered pitches on Street K.

Shade and orientation

Prefer morning sun or afternoon shade? In summer, the natural canopy of mulberries, pines, and poplars provides comfortable shade; pick a location aligned with your daily rhythm.

Vehicle access and layout

All internal roads are well signposted to help you navigate the site and reach your chosen pitch efficiently. If you have a longer rig, let Reception know your dimensions so they can guide you to the most suitable areas.

Utilities and Setup: What to Bring and How to Connect

A smooth setup hinges on a few practical details.

Electricity

• Supply: 6 A or 10 A
• Plug: CEE three‑phase
• Tip: Use appliances sequentially to stay within your amperage limit; this prevents tripping and keeps your setup stress‑free.

Water and drainage

• Bring a Gardena ½″ or ¾″ connector (or equivalent) for the water inlet.
• Most pitches include on‑pitch drainage; if you prefer that convenience, avoid even‑numbered plots on Street K.
• The site’s ground is level and designed for good water runoff, so rainy days are easier to manage.

Connectivity and extras

• Wi‑Fi: Available for an extra charge, with one device connected at a time. Wi‑Fi is free for bungalow guests during high season.
• Bicycle rental: On site, there are 20 bicycles, including two electric models, issued first‑come, first‑served (no advance reservations).
• EV charging: An electric vehicle charging point is available for guests.
