Starting June, the heat, summer, and vacations are approaching… but if there’s something that marks the beginning of all this, it’s San Juan, and to get things started, we bring you the best campsites without fireworks to celebrate!
It’s almost time for this celebration where fireworks and firecrackers take center stage, but not everyone likes to celebrate that way. Especially when our four-legged friends are also invited to join the festivities. Many pets suffer greatly from the noise of fireworks. Most dogs are afraid of the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, causing them stress, suffering, and phobia. That’s why many campsites have decided to do away with pyrotechnics and celebrate a magical summer solstice night where all their guests can be happy.
From CampingsCat, we bring you the list of campsites where San Juan is celebrated without fireworks, in an alternative way, without fears or concerns but with the same fun!
Take note, all these campsites are open for San Juan and are pet-friendly. Who needs fireworks when you have an ideal accommodation? Discover them!
Camping Vall de Camprodon
A truly pet-friendly campsite in the heart of the Pyrenees, where pets are the stars. All pitches and accommodations are adapted, with an agility circuit and a dog-friendly restaurant.
Surrounded by nature with river access, it’s perfect to unwind. Ideal for Sant Joan thanks to its peaceful, quiet atmosphere.
Camping Moby Dick
Located in the town of Calella de Palafrugell, on a small hill just 150 meters from the sea, this camping site is the best positioned on the beaches of Palafrugell. Camping Moby Dick is sun, sea, and mountains.
Camping Stel
A first-class camping site right on the beach, on the Costa Dorada, located in Roda de Barà. Enjoy San Juan on the beach with luxurious facilities, entertainment, and without fireworks, as Camping Stel does not allow their use within its premises.
Camping Resort Els Pins
Ideal for families, couples, and especially for traveling with your pet. For San Juan, they prohibit the use of fireworks within the facilities, but usually, they can be set off around the camping area.
A different celebration for the whole family, where those who want to set off fireworks have the option to do so, and those who don’t can enjoy the tranquility they desire.
Camping Empordà
A small and family-friendly camping site in the middle of the Costa Brava. Located near the town of l’Estartit, the beach, and within the Natural Park of Montgrí, the Medes Islands, and the Lower Ter.
Fireworks cannot be set off; it is strictly prohibited. However, at the camping site’s entrance, there is a paved road where children and families are allowed to do so. This year, for the San Juan celebration, they will organize a different and very special show with drones.
TAIGA Bassegoda Park
Family-friendly camping site with first-class bungalows located in Albanyà (Girona), in l’Empordà. They offer a variety of bungalows and accommodations, as well as an entertainment program and activities for the whole family throughout the year.
The exceptional dark sky environment for stargazing will turn your San Juan into an authentically magical night. The use of fireworks and the lighting of fires outside of designated areas is prohibited. The nearest area for fireworks would be in the municipality of Albanyà, which is one kilometer from the camping site.
Camping l’Ombra
A small, peaceful camping site near the beach, open all year round. It features a pool, bar, and a store. Located in Llançà, near Cap de Creus, Sant Pere De Rodes, and the Sierra de la Albera, it’s an idyllic natural setting for a unique San Juan celebration without fireworks, as the camping site prohibits them.
Their proposal to celebrate the shortest night of the year is to have an open-air dinner with “pan con tomate” (bread with tomato) and cold cuts, “coca de San Juan” (a traditional pastry), and a glass of cava (available by order).
