  • In the historic city of Tarifa, a short stroll from the beach
  • Pool, barbecue and play area
  • On-site snack bar and well-stocked mini market
What a splendid-looking beach… and all only a 400-metre stroll from splendid-looking Camping Paloma, a site set on the southernmost point of Cádiz's Costa de la Luz – and in one of the most southerly spots in Europe in Spain's deepest south. Camping Paloma is based at the seaside town of Tarifa, known worldwide for its wind sports like windsurfing and kitesurfing, and for its buildings of European and Arabic style: its setting not far from Africa means it has the mountains of Morocco and the lights of Tangier visible across the Strait of Gibraltar. Back at base, the site has a generously-sized pool to splash in, and a playground to keep the kids busy while the grownups prep dinner on the barbie. Maps of the area are in reception and the friendly team can give you all the info you need to arrange trips out into the surrounding countryside. And if you're pondering losing a few pounds while on hol…? This is very much not the place to do so: Camping Paloma days can be started with breakfast at the bar's terrace along with a surf of the free wifi, then, perhaps, tapas and burgers for elevenses, lunch and dinner…? Or you could pick up piles of produce at the mini market, where the offerings include bread and pastries, fresh fruit and veg, and tasty ice cream.

Electric optional earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Close to beach, shop well stocked for early season. Pitches not to bad when dry unfortunately we arrived in rain so a little sludgy but dried quickly.

Disliked: Showers and toilets could do with cleaning more often although Showers were hot and hot water at sinks for shaving.

Electric optional earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Un sitio tranquilo, al menos en la temporada que he ido y bastante económico, necesite pasar una noche de urgencia y me saco del apuro. Los baños limpios y agua caliente en las duchas.

Disliked: Para ir a cualquier sitio, en coche siempre. El recepcionista un poco seco.

From the manager: Gracias por dejarnos su comentario! Estamos muy contentos de leer que ha estado a gusto en nuestras instalaciones. Efectivamente, el camping se encuentra en una zona parque natural, por lo que está un poco alejado de lo que es el pueblo, pero a la vez es lo que lo hace especial y conserva todavía parte de la esencia salvaje de la zona. Esperamos verles pronto otra vez , gracias

I would stay again but would choose my pitch more carefully.

Josh H. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional earth touring caravan pitch

Liked: Easy access from the main road, friendly staff on reception and in the cafe/restaurant. Washing, laundry and personal facilities kept very clean. Quiet and plenty of space.

Disliked: A very long walk to the beach, not 500 metres as claimed by the staff. Our pitch on a fairly steep sideways gradient so difficult to level our caravan. The tourer pitches had a carpet of pine needles which made keeping the inside of our caravan clean very difficult, maybe they could sweep them off once a week...would help. The automatic overnight watering system created a swamp around us, if we had a groundsheet it would have been soaked by morning.

Electric optional grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Every thing except the restraunt was exceptional,

Disliked: The restaurant did not consider all of the people staying on the site, They said they opened for evening meal at 8 pm But they opened at 10 pm Due to a large booking, they failed to tell us and actually gave us the wrong information, No sign, to inform us. Until we went to eat at 8 pm This let down an amazing camp site

Local attractions

Watersports, secluded beach basks, ancient sites and green gardens are all within easy reach of Camping Paloma, along with a vast range of activities: the reception staff can help you arrange climbing, mountain biking, quad tours, birdwatching tours and lessons in diving, surfing and windsurfing as well as day trips to Morocco. The beach of Valdevaqueros, 400 metres away from the site, is a fave throughout Spain for its surf, and has a beachfront and surrounds crammed with restaurants and chiringuitos for tapas and cervezas after an afternoon among the waves. Other popular sandy stretches like Playa de los Lances and Playa de Bolonia are within a short drive, and the secluded Playa de los Alemanes is next to Zahara de los Atunes, the fishing village famed for its tasty tuna: try it out in one of the many restaurants and bars. Local town Tarifa dates back to the eighth century and has many a sight to see, like tenth-century Guzman castle near the port (most recommended), the sixteenth-century Church of St Matthew built over a former mosque, and the Roman ruins of Baelo Claudia and the Necrópolis de los Algarbes. Tarifa is in the migrating bird haven of the Intercontinental Mediterranean Biosphere Reserve: look out for storks flapping ahead over the Straits of Gibraltar in spring and autumn.
