  • Overnight stop for tourers and campervans in Castell de Ferro
  • Almuñécar 35 minutes’ drive; an hour to Granada for Alhambra visits
  • Well-kept facilities 100 metres from the nearest beach
Keeping your caravan, motorhome or campervan cool in the summer heat can sometimes be tricky along Andalusia’s Costa Tropical – but the gravel pitches at Area Camper Castell have been set up especially to deal with such situations. At this site in Castell de Ferro you’ll park your rolling home under a handy canvas shade to protect you from the heat of the day – and you’ll also have access to water and an independent electric hookup. Right opposite the pitches are the whitewashed facilities, with smart, spacious marble bathrooms and showers. With other handy amenities including a washing-up sink, launderette and drainage for grey and black water waste, you should be pretty much sorted for services here. There is another way to keep cool in this area, of course – and that’s to get in the sea. This plan of action is easily achieved, as the nearest beach is only 100 metres away for swims and lazy days on the sand (perhaps picking up a paella from the chiringuito restaurant on the beach if you get peckish while you’re there). If you’d rather do your own cooking, you can pick up all the bits you need from a supermarket five minutes’ walk away. Away from the local beach, there are plenty of other stretches of coastline to explore nearby, including the lively resort of Almuñécar (35 minutes’ drive). Other days out might take you to Granada (an hour) to see the spectacular Alhambra, or for hikes in one of the area’s natural parks.

What customers say

This campsite offers a convenient location, just a few minutes' walk from the beach and village amenities. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the site's cleanliness and tranquility. Pitches are generally considered adequate, though some mention them being tight for larger vehicles. While most facilities are clean, some reviews highlight small or flooded shower and toilet areas, with occasional issues regarding hot water and privacy. WiFi is reported as unreliable.

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked Ubicación, cerca del mar y de comercios , tranquilidad, bien nivelada, sombra de toldos, toma de agua en cada parcela.

Disliked Un solo grifo en zona de cambios de aguas. En un área de pago no puede ser que el grifo para las aguas negras sea el mismo que el de agua potable. Quizás un poco desatendida…La electricidad la considero cara. Es un consejo…

Liked Close to beach close to ships and restaurants. Nice clean site gravel based, washing machine,good check in.

Disliked Caravan owners parking on site making it difficult angles to park a motorhome. If caravans allowed they should be made to park outside or on their own pitch.

Local attractions

The beach here is a lovely one, but proper beach buffs might like to stretch their sights out to other local options, like the snorkelling hotspot of Playa de La Rijana (five minutes’ drive) or the resort of Almuñécar (35 minutes), which has subtropical gardens, a bird park and the Aquatropic waterpark as well as its beach. Heading inland, there are various options for hikes in the craggy landscapes of Parque Natural de las Sierras de Tejeda (half an hour), which is also a great area to spot wildlife including eagles, bats and mountain goats. Try also to plan a full day out in Granada (an hour) – as well as being home to the Alhambra (the most-visited attraction in Spain), this gorgeous Moorish-influenced city has lots of lovely little spots to explore in the Albaicin neighbourhood, some well-preserved Arab baths and several fabulous churches (including the cathedral).
