  • 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).

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

Electric gravel and sand tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nothing......

Disliked: What was there to like, the ground was tough, cats roaming around, vicious dog barking at kids and the owner saying it would bite.....reception was not open from 10am to 9pm, for the 3 days we stayed, the reception was closed. With only just having our tent, which I may add we left there, our trailer with all our camping stuff in it was stuck in France, we had no food, nothing to make the holiday enjoyable. We only stayed for 3 days and had enough, the weather was horrendous, with no shelter from the heat, not even in the tent. we packed up and started back.

From the manager: Hola. Siento que no le haya gustado el camping. Viendo sus comentarios, y despues de intentar ayudarle en todo lo que pudimos, realmente el problema es que usted se dejó su remolque en Francia con toda su comida y todos sus enseres personales y cuando llegó al camping solo traía su tienda de campaña, sin nada más. El clima en España en el mes de agosto es de mucho sol y de temperaturas de 40 grados. No podemos hacer nada respecto a este tema. Le ofrecimos una parcela con sombra para instalar su tienda de canpaña, y usted no quiso ponerse en ella, prefierio ponerse en una parcela sin sombra. Mi hijo ha estado en la recepcion todos los días atendiendolos todos los dias a ustedes y a sus 4 hijos. No quiero dar muchos detalles del episodio que sucedido en el cuarto de baño, donde usted hizo sus necesidades fuera del water y tuvimos que limpiar sus excrementos. Quizás usted no iba preparado para acampada con su familia en pleno mes de agosto en España. Respecto a los 2 gatos eran del cliente que estaba a su lado. Eran sus dos mascotas. Siento mucho que no haya tenido una buena experiencia. Saludos. Pedro

Electric gravel and sand motorhome pitch

Liked: Everything! It was a quiet rural site with beautiful views of mountains. We walked onto Albox which took about 30 min and us a little town that has all you need. The staff were helpful and friendly and facilities were very clean. The tennis club next door serves well priced food n drinks and has a lovely balcony. We were too early for the pool to be open but if it had been we’d have stayed longer.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Camping au top ! Très propre ! Nous conseillons les emplacements à l'entrée du camping, sur le haut à gauche pour de plus petits véhicules tel que van, 4*4 ou juste emplacement de tente (endroit très calme et très agréable). Accueil super, le propriétaire est au top et tout est très propre. Aucun regret d'avoir passé quelques jours dans ce camping

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.
