  • Family-friendly park in Nijar and in the driest region of Europe
  • Beach 20 minutes' walk away; several more within a short drive
  • Large pool, sun terrace and sports ground for tennis and football
As you might have gleefully discovered before arrival, the Andalusia region of Almeria is the driest in Europe, and so arid that it's also the site of the continent's only desert. (Westerns have been shot in cactus-filled Tabernas for decades.) So as you'd might expect, it's all very sunny round these here parts too: the region around Camping Los Escullos, a family-friendly park in Nijar, gets about 328 days of solid sun a year and temperatures very rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius. Outdoor sports can be had in this climate all year round, so Los Escullos has set up its site accordingly, adding a sports ground for guests to tackle tennis, football, basketball and volleyball. Less energetically, there's a big outdoor pool heated by solar panels, a spacious sun terrace with deckchairs and parasols, and free wifi in all areas. The Camping Los Escullos pitches all have access to the site amenities of two loo blocks with hot showers (heated with solar energy in summer and with gas in winter), disabled facilities, a washing-up area and a laundry room with tumble dryer. Another sunny little touch here? The site playground is next to the Los Escullos restaurant, so you can keep a beady eye on the kids while you tuck into some tasty local dishes.

Charlotte V. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: This is our fourth stay at Los Escullos. We always come for a week in July and a few nights over Easter. The beaches that are close to the site (15 min by car) are stunning. We live in Malaga and love Cabo de Gata for its charm, beautiful beaches and it’s the real Spain! The beaches are perfect for snorkelling and kayaking.

Los Escullos has a fantastic on site restaurant with the best Fish & Chips, an entertainment team, on site shop, a large pool with plenty of sun beds. The pitches are a good size and covered in the summer months. The staff have always been friendly and the bathrooms are spotlessly clean. All in all it’s a 5* camp site. We travel a lot in our Motorhome and this site is one of the best we have found in the last 4 years of travelling around Espana.

Disliked: Nothing to complain about.

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Muy agradable y con sombra por la mañana. El camping era un sitio tranquilo con las parcelas grandes. El camping está en mitad de todos los puntos interesantes de cabo de gata y tiene playas chulísimas cerca. A parte de dos poblaciones a 5 minutos en coche para cenar o pasear. No tuvimos ningún problema y el personal fue muy simpático, y nos ayudaron cuando se lo pedimos

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked: Czysto i schludnie, łazienki i toalety super, świetne ciśnienie prysznica i gorąca wodą, ogólnie miła atmosfera, sklep, restauracja i basen, dobra lokalizacja na bazę na kilka dni dużo atrakcji do okoła, sąsiedzi, prąd i woda przy każdej parceli

Disliked: Nie zbyt dobra woda do picia, kupowaliśmy butelkowana, powinni zrobić specjalne miejsca dla namiotów bez ubitej ziemi dla kamperow, gdyby nie sąsiad który pożyczył nam młotek mielibyśmy ogromny problem z rozbiciem namiotu

Local attractions

As it's Almeria, a whole heap of excellent attractions can be found in the area surrounding Camping Los Escullos, like birdwatching among the desert landscape of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar natural park, visiting the casas cuevas (cave houses) in Barrio de Chanca, Alhabia, Gádor and Benahadux, or seeing the Alcazaba 10th-century castle built by Khalifa Abdh-ur-Rehman III. Beaches are never far away in Andalusia either: Playa Los Escullos is a 20-minute walk away, and San Miguel de Levante, San Miguel de Poniente, La Garrofa, San Telmo and Las Olas are all within a short drive for activities like windsurfing, scuba diving and snorkelling (lying back and sunbathing is allowed too). Finally, anyone for golf? A few splendid golf courses are in the Cabo de la Gata park – and as it's Almeria, you can even tee off on a desert course…
