  • Motorhome area two kilometres from Cabo de Gata and its beach
  • In the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park; 25 minutes' drive to Almería
  • Dog-friendly pitches with facilities including launderette and wifi
If you’re looking for beaches, natural landscapes and lots of wildlife in the Almería area, there can be few better areas to choose than the Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park, where hiking trails run past salt lakes and through cactus-dotted patches of desert. Occupying a fabulous spot within the natural park is Camper Área Cabo de Gata, a motorhome and campervan site about 25 minutes drive from Almería and within walking distance of the nearest beach. This well-equipped site is in the little village of Pujaire, just outside of Cabo de Gata – that puts several shops, restaurants and other amenities within easy reach. It’s about half an hour’s walk from the site to Playa del Charco beach, and there are lots of bird observatories around too (depending on the time of year, you should look out for flamingos, storks, egrets, kestrels, owls, lapwings and all sorts of other migratory and resident birds). As a site that’s dedicated to van-based travellers only, the pitches are specifically designed with motorhome needs in mind. Each spacious pitch has an electric hookup, and guests also have access to handy facilities including wifi, a launderette, shower and toilets as well as a campervan service area for grey and fresh water. Dogs are welcome, and there’s a dog park where they can have a bit of a run around.

Charlotte V.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding touring pitch (XL)

Liked The site itself is very spacious and it’s perfect if you have dogs which we did. The lady who checked us in was very very welcoming and friendly.

The local store is a 3 minute walk from the site. The Spar shop was also great and so very reasonably priced. It has everything you need!

The beach is close and all the main lovely places to visit in this area. There are ample restaurants you can walk to.

This site is perfect for a 1 night stop if you are passing through. We have stayed/visited Cabo de Gata many times over the past 4 years. We stayed here because our site we were holidaying at for a week was fully booked so we decided to arrive an evening earlier and pitch here.

Disliked I can only criticise the price. Prior to our touring caravan we had a motorhome. We have stayed at sites very similar to this one and they were significantly cheaper.

We paid €28.00 for the night. We felt this was pricey considering a shower wasn’t included. We also paid a further €4.00 to park our car. We were then charged for our dogs which is totally acceptable to do that.

The site was empty not busy at all and that maybe reflects because of the cost.

We live in Spain and we are used to the local Ferias/Fiestas at this time of the year. Unfortunately for us next door to the site had a Feria going from the moment we arrived at 7.30pm and the music finally went off at around 5am.

This should have been communicated to us prior to arrival. Again sites we have stayed at before have sent a email detailing that to let us know and we have cancelled.

We are all up for a party! But not until 5am…. we left tired.

Please put hand soap in the toilets… it doesn’t cost a lot to do that and is very unpleasant. It’s the least you expect at a Camper stop.

Liked Large pitches and very quiet at night amenities clean, local shop and bar/restaurant only a ten minute walk.

Disliked Additional costs to shower are a little disappointingly, key access is via reception and they leave about 9pm and doesn't reopen till 9am.

Electric optional gravel and hardstanding campervan pitch

Liked Freie Standplatzwahl und gute Anfahrt. Stellplatz sehr eben. 16 Ampere Strom für 5 Euro.
Das Wlan ist top. Unbebaute Flächen innerhalb des Platzes können zum Spazieren mit Hunden genutzt werden.

Disliked Insgesamt wirkt der Platz nicht so gepflegt zum Beispiel keine Aussenbestuhlung auf der Gemeinschaftsterasse. Die Spülküche ist sehr einfach und komplett im Freien. Duschen kostet extra und man muss die Dusche aufsperren lassen. Erst ab circa 9:00 möglich. Gelände um den Platz total verdreckt, man kann dort mit den Hunden nicht laufen. Das Dorf ist total trostlos.

Local attractions

The place to start is in Cabo de Gata village, about half an hour’s walk from the site. From here you can take a walk out to the headland, explore the salt lakes looking out for all sorts of visiting bird life, or sign up for snorkelling tours to see what lies below the surface of the sea. Alternatively, there’s a fabulous sandy beach stretching out for almost 12 kilometres… This whole area is blessed with lots of excellent hiking trails, but one of the best has to be the route around Crater del Hoyazo (half an hour’s drive), a landscape formed from an ancient fossilised coral reef and still harbouring glittering sapphires and garnets to this day. For more glimpses of this area’s scenery, take a stroll around Parque El Boticario botanic gardens (20 minutes), or explore the desert views at Cactus Nijar gardens (20 minutes). Those same views have also inspired the Oasys Mini Hollywood theme park (45 minutes), where southern Spain stands in for America’s Wild West at live shows and you can meet all sorts of animals from around the world.
