  • Benidorm site 15 minutes walk from Levante Beach
  • Indoor and outdoor pools
  • Restaurant serving local meals
Off camping in Benidorm? Lever yourself into prime position with a berth at budget-friendly Camping El Raco, surrounded by trees in an area with numerous shops and bars, and less than 15 minutes' walk from both Levante Beach and Aqualandia waterpark: you'll probably want to raise a glass to that. Restaurants, parks, golf courses and entertainment are all around this site and it's in a pretty place between sea and mountains if you want to slow down for a sec and drink in the scenery. It has indoor and outdoor pools as well as a restaurant serving meals from the local cuisine.

Olive G. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Pitch was fine.

Disliked: Ongoing building work, which commenced at 8 am and continued until 8 pm. The dust created by the demolition work was horrendous with no method of control to dampen down the dust. This triggered allergies for both my husband and myself. The only prior warning we had was to state the Petaque court had been relocated.

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Cleanliness, calm and convenience. . Friendly reception upon arrival. Location: 10 minute cycle from main beach, restaurant and shopping area. Camp ground has its own shop as well. Walking distance to adjacent restaurants, bars and shops, some if which right opposite camping ground.

Disliked: Given it's success, I think renovation of sanitary facilities is a commercially viable possibility.

From the manager: We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the Racó. This year we will be completely refurbishing the last toilet block and there will be four refurbishments. Thank you for your great rating and kind comments. See you soon

Local attractions

Those bonzer beaches first, of course (well, perhaps after a beer or cocktail): Benidorm has over four miles of sand in its popular and good-looking beaches of Poniente and Levante – as well as glittering nightlife, its Old Town and five fab family theme parks. Across from the beach, the waters of Benidorm Island are where to spot local marine life. Away from the resort for day trips, try Altea fishing village and its Old Town filled with the stalls of artists (look out too for the blue dome of its church and its narrow alleyways); the clifftop houses and the castle of Guadalest village; hiking the trails from the Moorish castle of Finestrat and the mountains of Tárbena; visiting the Ethnographic museum at Villajoyosa, and seeing the Palmeral at Elche, the biggest palm grove in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Calpe, a tourist resort at the foot of the Rock of Ifach, is now a nature spot and has spectacular views. Two other well-known tourist options in the area are lively Alicante, again with an Old Town, and the city of art and science Valencia, to see its cathedral and the Miguelete, La Lonja, North Station, Serrano Towers and Quart de Dos Aguas Palace. And wherever you end up, also very much recommended is Spanish cuisine: make a meal of rice and fish from the coast including black rice, arroz a banda, peix cauldron, paella aladroc, les pilotes de dacsa, les cokes, la olleta de blat…
