Ive looked at a few sites for Salou campsites but it seems that they want everyone to use either coach or self drive.When asking for quotes without all this,it does seem to be more expensive(STRANGE!!!!!!!!!!! :roll: )
Sorry i couldnt help, but i have looked over hundreds of web pages and several phone numbers but no joy. :bhead
Have a good hol anyway

Feature Camping Sanguli and you have the option of accommodation only. There are contact details on the website.

I have been looking at Sanguli too and have decided that it probably has to be a DIY holiday, with flights to Barcelona then car hire for the duration of your holiday working out slightly cheaper than flying to Reus.

But Thompson do provide a package to Sanguli, again as a coach holiday but they will do the flights and transfers at extra cost. I have sent for the brochure, it is the Thompson Al Fresco 2005 - you can order it online from the website.

Hope this helps, if it does then can you let me know because I am struggling too - we aren't seasoned travellers and don't really feel confident enough to book everything independantly :(

this reply may be too late for you to use, but we visited sanguli a few years ago to get there we travelled by train, we travelled to paris then overnight to the spanish border, from there to barcelona and then to salou. a long journey but if you treat it as part of your holiday its great. you can however book your own flights to reus and from there to salou. about sanguli we really enjoyed it one of the best holidays we ever had, our children are now grown up and want to return this year with their own children so the must have enjoyed it. hope you find this of some use to you

I know this link was started in 2004 but I have travelled recently by air to Sanguli Park and so maybe my information will still help people.

Myself, my wife and two children travelled by air from Manchester to Barcelona. We hired a car and drove to Salou and Sanguli Park which is very easy to follow and find. The drive from Barcelona Airport is about 120 kilometres and is very straight forward down the toll road. Tolls cost in total about 10-12 euros so peanuts.

We went on a site called http://www.sanguli.es and this is the website of the actually park so you go direct. The staff speak English and we booked what is called "A Bali Hut" which is like your garden shed covered with a thatched roof, fantastic!!!!!!!!! Inside they have double bedroom, loft bedroom, two more beds(seats) if needed, bathroom (shower) and kitchen. Terrace at front. Great price as well. A tahiti hut is even grander with air-con and tv(which is the last thing you want folks!!)

The Park itself is fantastic. We have been to many round Europe and this one is right up at the top with the best of them. It is on the sea-front so very close to beach with a scattering of shops and bars. It is a nice stroll along promenade into Salou and if you get drunk you can get a cheap taxi back!!!!

We booked to Port Aventura which is a couple of kilometres from the Park. We took advantage of the 7 days for 3 offer as it gave us options on when to go to the park over the week. The ticket becomes active the first time you use it so a 2 for 3 day is ok but restricts you and if these days fall into the weekend, then it is even more busier.

There is a railway line running right through the area at the front of the park which is the only worry but any safety conscious parent will be fine with this.

We are looking to go back to the park and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. DIY was alot of messing on the computer ( but thats half of the fun don't you think?) but so glad we did it. No disrespect to tour operators who do a grand job but we really did safe a fortune.

Hope this post helps anyone and whatever you decide, enjoy your holidays with your kids, its the most important thing in their lives :D :D
