Reference efforts in the tourism and camping sector highlight Auto Camper Service International, commonly known as ACSI, which runs a respected online guide for campers across Europe. In May, ACSI conducted a vote among campers to identify Spain’s top campground. The competition drew more than 50,000 votes across eight European countries, and the winner stood out clearly. The accolade went to a campground located in the town of Elche, an esteemed destination noted for its blend of sun, sea, and leisure. The recognition underscores the campground’s reputation within the touring and camping community and its appeal to travelers seeking high quality facilities and memorable experiences in Spain.

In truth, many travelers may be surprised to learn that a stay at a campground can feel like a luxury experience. Across the country, there are hundreds of camping sites that rival the amenities and comfort offered by hotels and tourist apartments. This is especially true as the peak tourist season winds down with cooler temperatures, creating a quieter period ideal for campers who value space, service, and value without the crowds. The shift in season can bring better access to facilities and a different pace, making it a compelling option for both weekend travelers and longer stays. [ACSI Awards 2022 attribution]
One of these premium options is La Marina Resorts, a standout winner for Spain’s best campground in the initial edition of the ACSI Awards in 2022. The property offers a range of lodging choices, from comfortable bungalows to spacious villas, and even plots for guests who prefer to bring their own accommodations. The goal is to accommodate diverse client preferences while maintaining high standards of service and convenience. The resort’s design emphasizes comfort, accessibility, and a welcoming atmosphere that suits families, couples, and solo travelers alike. [ACSI Awards 2022 attribution]
Spanning an expansive area, the property covers roughly 120,000 square meters and packs in a comprehensive set of amenities designed to entertain and relax. Visitors can enjoy themed swimming pools that offer variety beyond a simple dip, a full spa to unwind after a day of sightseeing, a well-equipped gym for fitness-minded guests, and a supermarket that provides practical convenience for longer stays. Dining options abound with several restaurants on site, making meal planning straightforward for guests who prefer to dine within the resort. There is even a water park that promises family-friendly fun, ensuring that children stay engaged and excited throughout their visit. All of these features are complemented by the resort’s proximity to a Blue Flag beach, which signals high environmental and safety standards while offering easy access to the coast for sun and sea lovers.
