This year we camped in the Spanish Pyrenees just outside the town of Ribes de Freser .The camp site called CĀMPING VALL DE RIBES
This camp site is about 5 minutes outside the town on the road to Pardines. If you were not traveling by car the train from Toulouse in France which continues on to Barcelona stops at Ribes de Freser. Or there is an airport at Girona or Barcelona about 100 km's away. We traveled by car and arrived at the campsite found the booking in office We paid 4.75 euros for the tent each night plus 5 euro per person plus 5 euro for the car. If you want to check prices go to. http://www.campingvallderibes.com/english/preuseng/preusacampadaeng.htm. As well as camping places for tents and caravans there are some wooden chalet bungalows available. The price peak season 599 euros for 7 nights for 4 people in a chalet they will sleep 6 you pay a little extra for the 5th and 6th person.
The is campsite is on a hill overlooking the valley but there are flat terraces for the camping, the tents on two lower terraces. The places for the tents are ample and there are trees spaced between the camping places. We choose to camp in the lee of the mountain so we would be shaded in the morning the camping placings the other side of the track got the sun earlier. We did not need electricity but there are points to hook up to electricity. The camp site is not crowded and noisy This campsite has good facilities. No need for a big supermarket on site there are supermarkets 5 mins walk away, but I seem to remember we could buy milk and bread and a few other essentials here.
There are adequate showering and washing facilities both on the upper and lower level of the campsite office building. This had hot water and sockets for hairdryers /shavers -do remember to take a two pin adapter if you are taking an English plug with you. There is a bar -restaurant facility and this served good food we ate there one night. There was a TV to watch in this area too.
At the top of the site there is a small swimming pool, I did not use this but we walked past and noted several people having fun there. This is the third time we have visited this camp site .It is a friendly site and one with magnificent views we woke up each morning to the view across the valley and of the mountains. In the evenings we would eat our meal, drink our wine gaze over the mountain tops and see birds of prey flying in the distance.
This camp site is in a fantastic area for walking, cycling and outdoor exploits. The flora and fauna fantastic. If it's raining its only an hour or so away from all the attractions in Barcelona. There are several places within an hour or two to see some Gaudi and Dali work . The villages and countryside are beautiful. This area will call us back again and this campsite good and well positioned, so I anticipate we will stay there again one year
