Camping Ampurdanes 

We have stayed at this site in the bungalows for many years and have always had a fantastic experience. It is quite expensive but it is a premium location with great service from the lovely family that run it. It is right alongside the most beautiful beach and bay with a number of small bars/restaurants catering to all tastes - including great fresh fish. In all the years we've stayed - only missing recent years through illness - we've had a great experience. You can walk along the cliff path to Canyelles to a well stocked supermarket,and buy English papers and fresh fruit and veg. Roses is also walkable but far less attractive/more commercial so perhaps it's a question of what sort of holiday you want. For us and our friends who go back year after year it's a relaxed, unpretentious, beautiful location and Maria's (Camping Ampurdanes) is a very easy place to base yourself for a short beach holiday far away from mass tourism, high rise hotels, and attendant "noise". Their prices reflect demand - many campers (in vans) return year after year (we see them each time we go back) which reflects its popularity. And per previous comments, the shower blocks, toilets and all facilities have always been spotless. Ditto the bungalows which have their own terraces, with shade, to enjoy very long breakfasts or late evenings. Don't be deterred by the negative reviews. I'd recommend this place to anybody looking for a chilled, relaxing break.
