Spain is a great place for camping holidays. It's also a very large country so you have masses and masses of areas to choose from to set up camp. We have always gone there on a self drive, self catering basis because we like the freedom which comes with self catering holidays - no rigid meal times, and you can sit outside your tent or mobile home and chat well into the late evening with a bottle or two of wine. We also like to self drive because having two females in the family means that the amount of luggage we take is awsome!

 Probably one of the most accessible areas of Spain for Brit self drive camping enthusiasts is the Northern coast when you have driven past Bordeaux, Biarritz and Bayonne into the "Green Coast" of Spain where many of the Spanish take their own holidays. We just about got there one time in a long day from the overnight ferry which dropped us off in St Malo. Camping holidays are also easily arranged in that region if you don't want all that driving, so hop on one of the ferries which drop you off in Santander and drive on from there. I suspect that ferry prices haven't come down sisnce we last did that trip but at least you get to your holiday destination as fresh as a daisy.

There are other places in Spain for camping holidays though, and these may suit the linguistically challenged Brit holidaymakers better than the Green Coast - try the Costa Brava where the sun shines forever in the Summer and English is widely spoken (though it is polite to try a few words of Spanish if you can as it is appreciated). The Costa Brava is best reached by car driving down the Autoroutes from Calais. It's a fair old trek but well worth it in the end. Bypass Perpignan in the South of France and you reach the Spanish border a few miles further on.

Camping Neus in Cala Montgó, l'Escala in the Costa Brava, not too far from the French/Spanish border, is set on the edges of a forest under mature pines with huge pitches with electricity. Small, family-run, Camping Neus is very very quiet. There is a swimming pool with a circular paddling pool, a tennis court, table-tennis, playground, voleyball, internet cafe, WIFI and pizzeria. The nearest beach at Cala Montgó is 850 m. away and easily accessible on foot. Kayaking and diving (introductory courses available in the site’s pool) in the nearby.

This is probably as far as most Brits would like to travel into Spain for their camping holidays if they are going under their own steam. If not of course there are good airports in the area, but of course if you are flying you can't take the same amount of luggage, but you can follow this link for Gerona (Girona) airport and car hire information if you like to fly/drive.
