Award‑Winning for Pets: What the ACSI “Best Campsite for Pets in Spain” Means for You

Planning a holiday with your dog and want absolute peace of mind? The ACSI “Best Campsite for Pets in Spain” award is a clear signal you’ve found the right place. Camping Aquarius has been recognised—again—by the ACSI AWARDS for making pet travel easy, comfortable, and genuinely fun for both humans and their four‑legged companions. In this guide, you’ll see exactly what that award means for you, what pet‑friendly facilities await, which pitch type fits your needs, and how to book a stay where pets are truly part of the family.

What does the ACSI “Best Campsite for Pets in Spain” award mean? It’s a distinction decided by campers’ votes that recognises outstanding pet‑friendly facilities, services, and guest experience.

Why this ACSI award matters

• It’s decided by guests. The ACSI AWARDS are a popular vote, which means real campers choose the winners based on their experiences.
• It’s a hands‑on recognition. The award has been presented to Camping Aquarius in person, a testament to the on‑site quality guests find when they arrive.
• It reflects consistent commitment. Camping Aquarius has been recognised multiple times by international camping and tourism associations as one of Europe’s best pet‑friendly destinations, and has once again earned ACSI’s “Best Campsite for Pets in Spain.”

Camping Aquarius is designed so your pet feels as welcome as you do. Here’s how that translates into your day‑to‑day stay:

Dogs Welcome pitches

• Dedicated pet‑friendly areas where dogs can stay with you comfortably.

Large walking area (with waste bag dispensers)

• A spacious, dedicated zone ideal for morning strolls and free‑running sessions.
• Waste bag dispensers help keep walks clean and convenient.

Pet showers (warm water)

• Hot‑water dog showers on site so your pup can rinse off after beach runs and playtime.

Agility park

• A purpose‑built agility area that keeps dogs active, engaged, and happy.
• Great for play, light training, and burning off energy.

On‑site nutrition options (including BARF)

• Special diets for sale so your pet can enjoy natural, healthy food during the stay.
• Local BARF food is available at the campsite for raw‑feeding routines.
• Dog food is also available in our supermarket and at the Marlin Beach restaurant, including special snacks for them.

Bonus perk: dog pool

• There’s even a dog pool to cool off and play—another reason the campsite stands out for pets.
