We're looking at a VERY long trip across the country using our minivan and tent (as is our family tradition). But a friend has offered to let us use his popup trailer. Will campgrounds charge us more because we're using a trailer (vehicle plus trailer v. tent)? Will we be placed with RVs (and their nice generators) or with tents or...?
Answer
I have camped in the upper Midwest for 35 years. Typically a campground segregates and charges based upon your needs. Many offer both electrical and non-electrical sites, electrical sites obviously being higher. Water is another consideration. State parks in our area do not offer water at each site though there are common areas to obtain it. We have camped in private campgrounds where we did have water to our camper. It's often a nice luxury but can be considerably higher in price. Our usage in the camper is minimal enough to decline the option. We make sure our 25 gal. tank in the camper is full before we leave home and it usually lasts the weekend. Proximity to restrooms is always an important consideration if you have children with night bathroom habits. If you're a parent you may be ready for the pop-up. A good nites sleep is important if you're driving on an extended trip. It's my opinion the worst matress is better than the best ground. I hope you have a memory filled trip.

Hello there- Yes, there are a few campsites in Salou for your family holiday and may I say what an excellent choice especially with kids that age- they will especially love the attractions and nightlife on offer. Of course don't forget Universal Mediteranea

I have not been camping in Salou, but during my years as a travel agent I had many clients who were and every single one of them loved it! The biggest complaint was the coach travel (at one time everyone went by coach) but since you are flying, you'll not have that particular problem!.
You can book tents without travel through bigger operators like Keycamp http://www2.keycamp.co.uk/chooseaholiday/newsandspecialoffers/tabid/299/default.aspx
Their "luxury Supertents" are all erected for you complete with everything you need, even including fridges and freezers and electricity!- See their tents here http://www.keycamp.co.uk/index.cfm?ver=2&fuseaction=Accommodation.AccomDetail&AccomID=13
They have numerous sites in and around Salou.
The campsites themselves are very well equiped with everything on site you could want. The facilities are excellent and the toilets are generally well maintained.
If I were you, I'd look at something like this first then see if there are any other companies who can beat the price- shop around!
I found some reviews for you here;

I really hope you have a brilliant time!
Good luck!
