Camping Stel

Location : Spain, Costa Dorada, Roda de Bara.

Description: The camping is separated from the beach by the railway (there is a tunnel) and a Boulevard, with access to the beach for wheelchairs, but once you are on the beach, use your well known 4WD.
The camping is ~ flat.

Time of visit: September 1998

Reception: Is not accessible for wheelchair users, there is a high step at the entrance.

Pool: The pool is accessible but there is no hydraulic lift.

Shops, bar, restaurant & supermarket: 100 % accessible.

Bathroom: there are 2 private bathrooms (with key) for disabled, the bathroom-building has 2 ramps, the first is somewhat steep, the second is better. The old looking and rusty equipment inside the bathrooms shows that the owner of this camping wanted to do something for disabled people, but did not know how. The toilet has no horizontal grip so a transfer is almost impossible, there is a real bath, at floor level, so you might need an hot air balloon to get back into your wheelchair. The shower has a sit made of concrete, about 30 cm deep and very wide, but there are no grips. The sit is very difficult to reach, because there is not much place left between the bath and the shower. The shower has ample possibilities to scratch your behind, legs etc. The bathroom has no alarm.
