OK
Has anyone been recently???
Has anyone any reviews about campsites down there??
We need some info as we are planning on visiting in September and finding that there is very little info coming in despite the HUGE amount of very large campsites there are
Hi Gray ... while you wait for replies here in this forum, it may be worth reviving the following topic in our Costa Blanca forum just in case anyone is still subscribed to it:

I havent actually stayed on El Raco but our friends went for years and stayed from November until March.
We used to visit them when they were there and it was a lovely site.
It was just up the road from the Benidorm Palace and within walking distance to the town.

thanks to this and other sites we have booked and (SHOCK HORROR) paid a deposit, we have done this for a change due to the high occupancy on the site,
We found out due to local people letting us know of the total lack of security on La Toretta which with a road running through the middle of the site is no surprise, and we weren't keen on the Circus being next door at the Palace either
Not long until September
BTW response via Haven free WiFi which although fast won't let you upload photographs anywhere

So despite the campsite being 95% full for most of the year there are very few of us on here been
hmmm
Have to rectify the sites knowledge about the place

Well Guys
Been and went and come back
DO NOT GOT TO La Torretta even the locals say it's risky security wise
El Raco is a nice site and worth a visit but for 2013 we are going across the road to Camping Arena Blanca
Main thing about Benidorm It's cheap to eat
Full English Breakfast 1€ -3€
lunch 3 course all you can eat carvery 9€95c
Dinner varies for 4€95c for 2 course plus drinks to 15€40 for all you can eat

Many thanks for the update Gray. 
I'm going with a couple of friends to Benidorm (last minute invite
) We are staying in the Kennedy Apartments where my friends have stayed before. I'm only going for 5 days as didn't want to intrude on the couples holiday too much.

Well Benidorm is a place where you can go and not cook a single meal on self catering (like us in the caravan)
we ended up spending rough 20€ a day each on food and drink (EVEN good alcohol free beer for me) for 2 of us and we ate very well
We are going back in September/October for 3.5 weeks can't wait

The friends I'm going with, the wife has mobility problems so uses a scooter over there. They go quite often (about 3/4 times a year) as it's so accessible for her. The husband likes to cook on holiday as they both love the markets and spices etc so maybe we'll have a few meals in too. I'm too lazy to cook on holiday, plus I love to eat out, so I'll be happy either way as I certainly won't be cooking 
Is there air conditioning in the caravan as it must get really hot?

LOL air con - Yes we open the windows never used AC and we go to the Med every year
Can recommend the Madarin Wok for a decent AYCE cooked while you watch less than 10€ a head

OMG you're brave. I stayed in caravan once in Spain in the summer months and would shoot out of bed in the morning to get some air, it was like being in a pressure cooker
Thanks for the restaurant recommendation

To be honest, I have never tried camping, but my friends often relax this way. And it seems to me that this is uncomfortable. I am used to comfort, so that I have everything at hand, food, electricity, gas, heat, water, you know. I'm not sure I can do it without all this. And the internet. I need the internet. Without internet access, I will not be able to use this fastessay.net/write-my-essay.html service. So camping is probably not fun for me. I won't even try.
