Our Meet at Twin Lakes, France finishes on 26th September 2016 so we have decided to move down into the Costa Dorada in Spain. The site we are staying at is in Cambrils, Salou . GPS Coordinates are N41 4’ 1” E1 4’ 59”

If anyone fancies joining us you will be very welcome to do so. Booking is via directly to the site. Mention you are with VOSS on Parcel 250. This will keep us all together in the same area hopefully. If you book please add to the Yes RSVP, or the Maybe if you may be coming. Be aware - the EHU is 5 amp only.

The campsite is located between Cambrils and Salou, 200m. from the beach of Esquirol. Centre of Cambrils is1,500 m and Salou is 3 km. Temperatures this year were around 25C to 28C during day and around 20C at night.

Hi
We are newbies to motorhomes (ex caravaners) what would you suggest for ease of 1st spanish venture, ferry to santander? and what is approx mileage drive down.
Wouldn't want to drive all the way through France, and would like non tool roads.

Does anyone know if the premium plus pitches which are described as 80 sq mts, is that 8 x 10 for example as we are 9.2 metres and the plan has them squarish looking so we end up not getting on either way round. Thanks for any heads up.

If anybody else has been trying to contact the camp site - they are having problems with their server. I tried booking using the on-line system but couldn't get the booking to complete. I've got hold of the camp by messaging them through Facebook. I've now sent an email, but not using the campsite link - so hopefully that is us and normary booked :xThumb:

A change of plans for us. We will still be attending Twin Lakes, but will now not be attending the Cambrills meet.

Just received an email from the campsite informing me that the 2 premium plus pitches that they confirmed on 15th January are not available, and that our booking has been cancelled?? The site telephone just rings out, so I am hoping that I can get this sorted out ASAP as we have already booked ferries for the 2 motorhomes.
Has anybody else had word back from the campsite about their reservations?

Hi Guys,
I am surprised they confirmed in the first place that 248 was available. Before we left there we took a note of all of the free spaces (see first post) and 248 was not one of them.
There is no need to panic at all as there are loads of spaces available at that time of the year. Just email them again and quote a few of the ones I have listed and see what they come back with. If you have any further problems just PM me and I will get hold of them one way or another and sort it for you.
Panic not....all will be sorted.

I would double check yours too because that was not available when we were there last September.
Just a thought.

They seem to be incommunicado Graham. Think we will chance it and trust we will get in.

I have just emailed them for them to give us some assurances they are not going to double book the pitches. Not that it matters because there are 100's available at that time.

According to their 2016 site plan there is only 14 premium plus pitches, and 7 premium pitches. When I originally tried to book I asked for premium pitches but they only offered premium plus pitches - which I was happy to accept.
It looks like we might have to have standard pitches - still waiting for an answer to my email :frowny:

If you look at my initial post we have listed every single pitch that is available, or was at that time in the area we are all parked in so we can be together. It is a big site.
