Camping Valira

Camping Valira is a family-run campsite on Avinguda de Salou, about one kilometre from the centre of Andorra la Vella. The Cardona family has operated the site since 1969, and it remains an unusual option for visitors who want a campsite within easy reach of the capital’s shops and services. Guests can book serviced pitches or fully equipped bungalows. The current phone number is +376 722 384, and the campsite’s website provides direct booking and enquiries. A bus stop is listed about 50 metres away, while the walk to the centre takes roughly 10–15 minutes.

The campsite has 138 pitches with services, according to its current operator page. Pitch options accommodate tents, caravans, campers and motorhomes, with electricity available at different amperages and fresh-water access. The 2026 tariff lists a tent-and-car, caravan-and-car or motorhome/camper combination at a published nightly rate, while electricity is charged separately by connection capacity. Rates are valid through 31 December 2026, but season, party size and availability can affect what you pay. Request the current quote for your specific vehicle and equipment rather than assuming the headline price includes all utilities.

Bungalows provide a more sheltered alternative to pitching your own equipment. The operator describes them as fully equipped, while municipal visitor information lists five bungalows at the campsite. Availability, capacity, kitchen equipment, linen and cleaning rules can vary by unit, so read the booking details carefully. Choosing a bungalow can be useful for visitors travelling without camping equipment or planning a winter stay, while a pitch offers direct access to the campsite’s shared amenities. Make sure your reservation confirms the accommodation type and dates before travelling.

One of the site’s distinctive facilities is its heated indoor swimming pool, maintained at around 28°C with a jacuzzi at 35°C. The operator says the pool is open throughout the year, making it useful in winter as well as summer. Check whether pool entry is included in a pitch or bungalow stay, whether a booking slot is required and whether age or supervision rules apply. The campsite also lists a children’s playground, pétanque courts, barbecue areas and communal spaces, offering activities close to the pitch without needing to travel into town.

Practical shared facilities include a small supermarket, washing machines and dryers, dishwashing areas, bathrooms, showers and water services for motorhomes. The supermarket is listed as open 08:00–13:00 and 15:00–21:00, with basic food and camping equipment. There is a break in the middle of the day, so plan grocery purchases around that schedule. The campsite also provides laundry and places to wash cooking utensils. Ask at reception about any charges, detergent availability and waste-disposal points; services can be maintained or adjusted over time.

Reception is listed as open 08:00–21:00. During high season, campsite arrivals are accepted from 12:30; in low season, earlier arrival may be possible depending on availability. Pitches must normally be vacated before 12:00, while a low-season departure to 15:00 may be possible if reception approves it. Vehicle access is closed from midnight to 07:00, and the site says vehicles may not circulate during that period. Coordinate arrival and departure carefully, particularly if reaching Andorra late at night or planning to leave before dawn.

Camping Valira is close to Andorra la Vella without being in the middle of the busiest shopping streets. It can serve as a base for mountain trips, city shopping and visits across the Principality. The operator places it around a kilometre from the centre and notes that ski areas and mountain access are roughly 20 minutes away by road. Actual travel times vary with weather, traffic and seasonal road conditions. For campers without a car, the nearby bus stop provides another option; ask at reception for current routes, fares and service times.

Dogs are listed as permitted at a separate nightly rate, and the campsite’s facilities make it practical for longer family stays. Still, confirm current pet rules, leash expectations and access to the pool or communal areas. The site has a children’s park and outdoor spaces, but visitors should check barbecue regulations, quiet hours, visitor policies and waste sorting. The campsite is a managed accommodation property, not a free overnight parking area. Reservations, payment and check-in should be completed according to the operator’s current instructions.

Travellers arriving with a large motorhome should also confirm the pitch dimensions and turning space, particularly in peak periods. The operator’s reception can explain the best access route and where to complete registration. Keep valuables secured and follow posted speed limits inside the campsite, where children and pedestrians share the access lanes.

Camping Valira suits travellers who want a campsite base close to the capital while keeping access to mountain activities. It offers a choice between a serviced pitch and a bungalow, year-round operation and a heated pool, with a supermarket and laundry on site. Before booking, confirm the right pitch type, electricity, total price, pool access and any pet requirements. Note the reception window and the midnight-to-07:00 vehicle restriction so your arrival is not delayed. For a central Andorra stay that feels more outdoors-oriented than a hotel, Valira provides a convenient balance of location and facilities.
