  • Site with sports facilities and mountain views a kilometre from Albox
  • An hour’s drive to Tabernas Desert, and 45 minutes to Med beaches
  • Hillside site with swimming pool, tennis courts, a gym and restaurant
Sporty families, this one’s for you. There’s everything you need at Camping Albox for active holidays, from the outdoor pool to four tennis courts and three paddle tennis courts. You can ramp up the fitness regime (must you?) in the (very well-equipped) gym and then chill out with a good book in the wooden sauna. Daily life may revolve around the tennis courts and pool here, but there’s plenty to do after dark as well. Barbecue back at your cosy base, get together with fellow guests over a jar in the bar, or order a takeaway. In summer, there’s sometimes entertainment in the evening too. This secluded spot is surrounded by craggy mountains, olive groves and orchards, and yet it’s only a five-minute drive from Albox, a traditional Spanish white town with markets on Tuesday and Saturday where you can pick up fresh local goodies like cheese and chorizo. Back at the camp, family-friendly facilities include a play area for younger kids, a launderette service and washing-up area, with showers and loos in the amenities block, while teens can keep up with their mates on wifi (an extra charge).

What customers say

This well-maintained site offers spacious, level pitches with pleasant rural views, approximately a 25-minute walk to Albox. Reviewers frequently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, particularly the owner, Pedro. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are consistently described as very clean. Amenities such as a pool, tennis, and basketball courts are popular, though some noted the restaurant was closed during their stay. The approach road is described by some as steep.

Liked The caretakers are amazing. So friendly and helpful. The site is lovely and feels like it's remote but it's not. Clean showers and toilets. Decided to rent on site. Much better. comfy and much better.

Disliked Certain membres de l’équipe du camping ont été désagréables avec nous.
C’est vraiment dommage

From the manager: Hola. Entiendo que la religión musulmana no permite a las mujeres bañarse en traje de baño y que deben hacerlo totalmente vstidas.
Pero también debe de entender usted que las normas de la piscina dicen que que las personas no se pueden bañar vestidas. Su mujer intentó bañarse totalmente vestida con los calcetines puestos y el velo en la cabeza, y eso, en nuestra piscina no es posible. Aunque siento lo sucedido, también debe de entender usted que está en otro país con otras normas distintas a la religión musulmana. gracias

personnel sympa , les installations trés propres et le restaurant bien

Local attractions

Should you have a break in your hectic tennis schedule, jump in the car to explore the white villages in the foothills around Almería. Huércal-Overa (30 minutes’ drive) has a restored hilltop castle to check out, and Mojácar (50 minutes) has a cute, flower-filled old town to nose around. Nijar (an hour and 15 minutes) is worth the hilly drive for its bizarre cliff formations, coves and sculpted sand dunes, and you can summon up your inner cowboy around Tabernas (an hour), where canyons and semi-desert landscapes have stood in for the Wild West many times on film. Treat the kids to Mediterranean swims in coastal towns like Garrucha (45 minutes) and Puerto del Rey (40 minutes), and then mooch around whitewashed backstreets and do a bit of tapas-bar hopping. Almería (an hour and 15 minutes) also has gorgeous family beaches overlooked by a spectacular Moorish fort.
