Camping Vilanova Park

We went with a large group, were delayed at our airport and arrived very late at night. The team were so welcoming, having kept dinner for us after checking us all in. The cabins had two bedrooms, one with bunk beds and one a double, plus a living/dining/kitchen space between them. There were steps up to the restaurant and bar, but there was also a slope. Two outdoor pools by the bar area (one being refurbished), plus another the other side of the park. And a stage area. The staff were so accommodating, keeping the bar open later for our large group on our last night. The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. Would definitely happily go again as a family. Bus from the gate goes into Vilanova, buy a 10 ticket pass from the souvenir shop as it's much cheaper than buying on the bus.

During our stay on this wonderful camping we met "Montse", a very nice, multi-talented woman who provides inspiring aqua gym lessons. When we wanted some relaxation afterwards, she also gives yoga lessons. And if that's not all, to help us improve our communication with her and other Spanish speaking people, she is also available for lessons in the Spanish language! A warm, wonderful person who contributed a lot to the pleasure we had on Vilanova Park. When we come back, we sure hop that she is still there!

Great campsite with nice large chalets, with plenty of space around them. Lovely bar and restaurant, with plenty of choices that were really well priced too. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Quick to fix any minor problems and keep the place tidy. The pools are great, the shop doesn’t have any overpricing either. There’s a bus that comes every 30 mins by the gate that goes to the beach for 1.65€. The town centre is well worth a walk around too. Lots of places to get food and drink. I’d definitely stay here again.

We have spent the last 5 winters in Vilanova Park. There is so much to do in the campsite and so many great restaurants in the town itself. Montse who organises all the activities is wonderful, friendly and professional . With water aerobics, keep fit, yoga, line dancing and Spanish lessons. We even had a wine tasting and paring with tapas night where we painted with wine. Great fun.

Excellent camping park. Clean toilets and plenty to do. Best aqua gym teacher I’ve ever had. Montse also teaches Spanish lessons and yoga, really enjoyed both. I will be back. Restaurant needs to vary the menus, but expensive in the summertime.

Too many flights of steps and not mentioned in the campsite description /information. Pitches quite small, roads narrow difficult to manouver. All very dusty. Vilano town, huge, very busy difficult to find parking. Campsite restaurant good. Had bikes with us, but roads extremely busy, felt too dangerous to use them. Would not return

Nice park clean with some good facilities bar restaurant pools etc But on leaving the site, I left my suitcase on the pitch. My fault absolutely. In it hairdryer straighteners etc but my wife jewellery in a box. My fault ringing back as soon as we realised it wasn't to be found. But also ringing them they have no CCTV accept on the entrance gates. That's them sorted then never mind anyone else. They say that's for holiday makers privacy. It's the first campsite I've been on for a long time without it. We wanted to know what had happened to our case? CCTV would have answered that. Nothing todo with privacy that's just cost cutting. A large campsite like that half empty needs CCTV for all sorts of security reasons.

My family and I stayed in at Vilanova Park in May 2023. Overall we had a great time, however the site could certainly make some improvements (more facilities and better opening times!). It's a pretty large site on the edge of Vilanova town. There's nothing much directly outside that can be walked to. Therefore you're reliant upon everything on-site. Its surprising that there aren't more facilities e.g. more restaurants / shops given the size of the site. You need to use some form of transport to get elsewhere. The site is just over an hour away from Barcelona by bus/taxi and a short bus ride (20 mins) to Vilanova town and beach. The site has one restaurant - which doesn't appear to have been reviewed well, we decided to steer clear of it and therefore either ate in Barcelona, Vilanova town or cooked. The site also has a small gift shop where bus tickets can be bought and a small supermarket that also has a great bakery (recommend getting in early). I think the most surprising and annoying thing about the site is that many of the facilities are closed during the day. I understand this is a local custom given the heat during the daytime, but given that shops, restaurants etc. are open elsewhere in Vilanova/Barcelona, I would expect the same given that this is a tourist destination. e.g. when we arrived we had to wait until 5pm before we could go to the supermarket to pick up supplies. Having no local shops outside the site also compounds this. Photo attached that show timings of the supermarket, shop (boutique) and reception. As mentioned above, bus tickets can be bought from the shop, however its worth noting that the shop is closed on Monday and tickets can be bought from the restaurant instead (surprisingly reception didn't know about this). This allowed us the buy tickets on the day we arrived rather than wait until Tuesday (which would mean missing the first bus into Barcelona due to the gift shop opening times). Its worth buying bus tickets in advance because they come in bundles that are cheaper than buying tickets directly from the driver (note that you can only pay in cash on the bus, they don't accept credit card). You can buy "T10" - a ticket that allows 10 single trip journeys into Vilanova that can be shared by multiple people, use this to get to the beach. You can also buy a "T8 Familiar 4 Zone" ticket, which allows 8 single journeys to central Barcelona - the ticket can be shared by multiple people. When using the bus with more than one person, you just keep putting the ticket into the reader for each person. Transport links appear to have deteriorated following Covid. Having researched the location before Covid I can see that there used to be very frequent busses to/from Barcelona and the airport. There is still a service that remains to Barcelona centre - but its very limited and the airport service has been dropped completely. Its possible to get a bus into Vilanova town centre and then change for another b

Spent 10 days in a mobile home to visit and explore the area. Arrived at Barcelona airport terminal 1, got the shuttle bus to Terminal 2 for the rail station, then a simple 5 euro 40min train journey to Vilanova. One stop to El Praet, walk over the bridge to the opposite platform for the train to Vilanova which is the stop after Sitges. Once you get to the station cheap reliable bus runs every 30 mins up to the park entrance. Park is very clean and well presented, friendly staff always around to help if required. Food and drinks in restaurant bar all good set menu good value. On site supermarket is good with fresh bread each day, although could do with being open a bit more, and has the expected high prices that come with camp site shops. There is a Lidl and Mercadona in town but not walkable. Local par 3 golf course is cheap, fabulous and very much worth a round if you're a golfer, out the main entrance turn right and follow the signs for about a mile. Beyond the golf course is a great hike/jog up the mountain path to the lookout tower at the top, but deffo not for the unfit. We used the half hourly bus down into town and back which pretty much run on time, and very reliable. We hiked the few miles into Vilanova, and other days into Cubelles which has lovely beaches, but be aware between the two towns is a nudist area. Vilanova has a very nice Spanish centre full of shops, restaurants and tapas bars which we enjoyed most days. People with Children will find the 2 large pools and slide very good, sunbeds always available if required. This is a Spanish town where tourists are mostly Spanish which we loved, and deffo not for people who's lives depend on fast food chains. Overall we had a lovely break with Vilanova Park a good base, and likely would return as the area is lovely,
