Fresh & Frosty: Making the Most of Camping Aquarius’ Fridge-Rental Service
If you’ve ever battled melting ice packs or lukewarm drinks on holiday, this one’s for you. At Camping Aquarius, our fridge-rental service pairs perfectly with the on-site supermarket so you can stock up once, keep everything cold, and spend more time enjoying Sant Pere Pescador’s beach. This guide shows you exactly how to use both services together to minimize daily shopping trips, cut food waste, and elevate your camping comfort.
What is the Camping Aquarius fridge-rental service?
In short, it’s the easiest way to keep food and drinks properly chilled throughout your stay.
- Full-size refrigerators available for hire on site so you can refrigerate like at home.
- Part of our Camper Services alongside laundry, electric charging stations, wastewater disposal, accessible facilities, TV and Wi‑Fi service, safe deposit boxes, postal service, on-site nursing and security, and professional massage services. Explore more on our Facilities page.
- Ideal for touring pitches and also helpful for guests in rentals who want extra cold storage. Note: our Mobile Homes already include a fridge as standard equipment.
Tip: Camping Aquarius is open from 15 March to 16 November, so you can rely on season-long campsite comforts on the Costa Brava.
Shop once, relax more: using the on-site supermarket
Our supermarket sits right inside the campsite, just steps from your pitch or rental. That means no car keys, no queues in town, and no melting groceries on the walk back.
What you’ll find inside:
- Fresh products and freshly baked bread every day
- Basic groceries and beverages
- A curated mix of local and international products
- Everyday essentials for easy, tasty meals anywhere—on your pitch, in your accommodation, or down at the beach
With a full-size fridge on your pitch, you can safely buy perishables for several days—yogurt, cheese, deli items, fresh produce, and ready-to-cook ingredients—so you’re not popping out for small shops each afternoon. Prefer the day’s catch or a beach picnic? Stock up in the morning, chill everything, and head out when you’re ready.
Good to know: the nearest town is Sant Pere Pescador (approx. 3 km), but with our supermarket and fridge rentals, you can keep trips outside the campsite to a minimum and focus on holiday time.
Quick answer for featured snippets: What does the fridge-rental service include?
- Camping Aquarius offers full-size refrigerators for hire on site.
- Combine rental with our on-site supermarket for easy meal planning and fewer shopping trips.
- Mobile Homes already feature a fridge included; rental is most useful for pitches or extra capacity.
Smart storage strategies that work on holiday
A little planning turns your rental fridge into a stress saver.
- Plan by meals, not by days. Group ingredients by breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you can grab-and-go.
- Chill fast movers up front. Put items you reach for often (milk, juice, sandwich fixings) on an easy-access shelf.
- Separate raw and ready-to-eat. Keep raw proteins in sealed containers on a bottom shelf to prevent drips; store ready-to-eat foods on higher shelves.
- Right-size your containers. Use smaller, stackable containers to avoid wasting space and keep air moving.
- Pre-chill drinks. Rotate a small batch to the fridge while keeping the rest nearby; this keeps the door closed more often and helps maintain a steady temperature.
- Label leftovers. A quick date note helps ensure you enjoy them while they’re freshest.
A simple shopping framework for the Aquarius supermarket
- Breakfast basics: yogurt, fruit, bread, butter, jam
- Light lunches: salad greens, tomatoes, cheese, cured meats, hummus
- Easy dinners: pasta, sauce, fresh vegetables, ready-to-cook items
- Snacks & sips: crisps, nuts, local treats, soft drinks, water
- Beach ready: pre-cut fruit, sandwiches, chilled beverages
Pitch-friendly placement and power basics
Set up your rental fridge for reliable cooling and easy daily use.
- Choose a stable, shaded spot. Keeping the fridge out of direct sun helps it run efficiently.
- Allow airflow around the unit. Don’t block vents; a few centimeters of space helps dissipate heat.
- Route cables neatly. Keep cords tidy to avoid trips and splashes near kitchen prep areas.
- Close the door quickly. Fewer long openings = steadier interior temperature and colder drinks.
When a rental fridge is a game changer
- Families and foodies. Store fresh produce, dairy, and meal-prep items so cooking feels effortless.
- Longer stays. Buy more in one go and cut back on daily errands.
- Active holidaymakers. Keep sports drinks, snacks, and recovery foods ready to grab.
- Beach lovers. Prep chilled picnics and keep them cool until it’s time to spread the towel.
- Guests in Mobile Homes who entertain. Even with a fridge included, renting an extra full-size unit makes hosting easier.
