Overview:

Camping Castell Montgri has a reputation for being one of the finest campsites in Spain and the whole Mediterranean!

Situated on the Roqa Maura hillside with superb views across the bay of Pals and the popular stunning beach resort of L’Estartit, Castell Montgri is a complete holiday village that is arranged in a series of steep terraces up the hillside and has been developed to blend in with the natural surroundings

Each of the pools has its own bar and sun terrace. The Panorama pool is open until midnight; swimming under the stars really needs to be experienced! La Bassa is a great location to get away from it all and enjoy the wonderful views.

Estartit's beach and town centre are within walking distance (1km), or from mid-June until mid-September there's a free shuttle bus.

Nearest Airports: Girona 53km - 45 mins, Barcelona 155km - 2 hours

Our Client Reviews of Castell Montgri

My wife and I chose Castell Montgri as our first family holiday abroad in 2001. ,we found it on the internet and decided straight away that this was the place to go. Not having been away with children before we were very apprehensive and somewhat nervous. We need not have worried at all because as soon as we drove into the site, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. Set amongst a pine forest with winding paths, it has three pools the largest being the Panorama which has varied depths, a fountain and stays open till around 11 pm. It also has places to order take away food and a very nice restaurant or you may choose to use the on site supermarket and cook and eat at your chosen accommodation.

We enjoyed it so much so we are going again this year for I believe is the ninth time. Most of my 7 children now have their own children and have either been with us or with their own families. Our accommodation of choice is the Family 8, everything you need for a great holiday. Entertainment on site is provided by a great and talented Castell Montgri staff throughout the day for children of all ages and adults. The evening entertainment especially was of very good quality.  All in all, a truly great holiday choice, you won't be sorry if you make Siesta holidays and Castell Montgri your choice next year or any year.

Tom - Sept 2017

Just returned after 10 days with Siesta Holidays (Siesta 4 lodge) in July 16. Overall thoughts - It's a big site with lots to offer including a number of excellent pools, good on site supermarket, tennis courts, slides, mini-golf, number of sit-in/takeaway eateries, bus to the town and kids entertainment including a movie (in English) each night on a big screen.
The site itself is well maintained. Despite other reviews about being hilly we didn't find this a problem(and we were up at the top of the site) as there are pools at the top, middle and bottom of the site. Main negatives would be that it is an exceptionally busy site - pools are always chokka and there did seem to be a predominance of older kids (ours are 5 & 7). Having said that there were no issues with noise at night . There's no shade around the main pool, but the adjacent bar/cafes offer shaded tables. Loungers are free at the larger pool and can be hired at the lower pool (or there's an adjacent green area where people lay their towels. The entertainment at night is pretty mediocre (our only comparator though is Playa Bara where it is fantastic).
The Siesta 4 caravan was small but fine for all we needed - however as other reviews have said there is a problem with ants. Constant cleaning and sweeping is the name of the game but they're persistent wee blighters!
If you've got a car would recommend visiting the Roman/Greek ruins at Empuries (15 mins drive) - good audio commentary for kids and adults; and a really pretty adjacent beach. L'Escala is a prettier resort than Estartit but Estartit also has lots to offer and is nice (and busy!) at night. Other nearby towns worth a visit include Figueres and Palafrugell and Pals.
Overall, we had a nice trip (somewhat marred by illness and a sea urchin sting!) and Castell Montgri has lots to offer but we probably wouldn't return (unless on a v cheap deal as this was!) as the site was just a little tired/old and a little too busy for us and our kids. Think it's a matter of personal taste though as I can imagine the site would be awesome if you have teenagers and more sociable wee ones than ours! 

TIP: if travelling with Siesta check their main office for provisions (food, toys, toiletries, cleaning products) left over by previous occupants before stocking up
Beves24 - July 2016

Had a great week here with kids made all the better with the fantastic service received from Siesta Holiday reps Danny and Dan.
The site itself is large and built on a hill, great views, three pools, bars, restaurants and take aways all average prices and decent quality. 
Accommodation was great, spotlessly clean on arrival, stayed on quite a few sites and never come across a mobile home so clean and well presented, even the decking and BBQ! Some great little tips from Danny about the electricity, use too much at once and it may trip, so when it did we knew what caused it and how to fix it.
There is a Lidl just outside, stocks everything you need, and a great little bar just outside the main entrance with a mini golf.
Ten minute walk into town, beach, bars, restaurant, ended up at O Malleys on the recommendation of the lads, good food, good prices.
Couple of days we spent off site, we went to the water park at Roses, great fun and another day Danny and his great local knowledge told us to go La Fosca if we fancied a day at a great little beach, we weren't disappointed.
Overall, a fantastic time had by all, topped off with the service received from the Siesta Reps, you are a credit to your company, well done
Real_F00d_Please - June 2016 

Stopped here with Siesta and had a great time the weather was amazing and especially the caravans spacious and light. The English lady that came welcomed us in did added extras for me she was great with dark hair can't remember her name
Jeannemorrill - June 2015

We travelled and stayed in May 2015 with Siesta Holidays and cannot fault them.
This site is perfect for families, very clean and has excellent facilities. We were up St the top of the site and whilst it was very quiet, the reps we honest and stated that it is very noisy during July and August.
There are plenty of lifeguards on duty around the pools. You have to pay for sunbeds around the pools, but we took beach mats and these were sufficient. I would think that in high season getting somewhere to sit could be problematic though.
There are kids clubs which looked like fun, but our children chose not to go. 
The shop on site stocks everything you need but is, as you would expect, a little more expensive than the local supermarket. There is a Lidl within walking distance, but we chose to use the local supermarket which was also very reasonable. 
The site is on a hill, so be prepared for a daily walk up and down, for those with pushchairs, there are alternative routes so that you can avoid the steps.
The food on site was reasonably priced and the quality was ok, we couldn't fault it.
There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the local town, which is only a 20 minute walk away - the fish restaurants by the harbour are excellent.
Don't be put off by the abandoned buildings, this really is a sweet little town, with a fab beach. The locals are very friendly and appreciate any attempt that you make to use their language - our Spanish was terrible but they were happy we gave it a go!
The tourer facilities were really good (we checked them out) with plenty of toilet/shower blocks and a laundry.
Trips run to the water parks and Barcelona - but they are expensive and can be booked slightly cheaper in the town.
The resort was just coming to life during our holiday, it was still very quiet. I'm not sure how busy it gets in high season, but I'm sure it'd be much busier than we experienced.
If you have young children or you are a couple looking for a relaxing break, then it may be worth visiting here in May
