Opinions about Granada Costa Campsites
Great pool and good facilities
This isn’t the first year we’ve come to Camping Don Cactus. The campsite is very peaceful and comfortable, with everything clean. The level of tranquility can vary depending on whether the other visitors are responsible or not, but we were lucky in that regard.
The facilities are quite good and include a supermarket, a bar, a children’s play area, a park, sports zones, and a heated pool. The bathrooms are clean and spacious.
The beach isn’t particularly appealing, so the best option is to enjoy the campsite’s spectacular heated pool.
Good spot, but needs improvements
Most of the pitches at Camping Playa Poniente are rented out year-round, making the campsite quiet with few children. It is well-located, close to a nice beach, although it is pebbly. The supermarket provides the essentials.
The campsite’s streets are quite narrow, and the standard pitches are somewhat small, so the caravan doesn’t fit comfortably. Adding more trees to provide additional shade would be an improvement.
