Costa Blanca’s ‘hidden gem’ campsite crowned the best in Spain

Camping Benigembla, an inland campsite in the Marina Alta region of Costa Blanca, has been named the best camping destination in Spain and the second-best across Europe in the 2026 Campercontact Awards. The accolade highlights the importance of guest experience, with the campsite's management and personal approach to welcoming visitors also playing a significant role.

Unlike the region's popular coastal resorts, the campsite offers a quieter alternative in the Vall de Pop, a mountainous area known for its traditional villages and scenic landscapes. Benigembla's recognition comes as camping gains popularity among modern travelers seeking outdoor holidays that combine nature and comfort with the freedom to travel by motorhome or campervan.

The award could benefit the municipality, as it introduces travelers from across Europe to the area and supports local businesses and tourism.
