  • Family-friendly Axarquía site 10 minutes' drive from La Viñuela
  • A 30-minute drive from Torre del Mar beach and 45 mins from Málaga
  • Outdoor pool, kids' pool, and restaurant with lake views
Oh, those views… you could probably cope with gazing at them for a few hours/days/the rest of eternity, yes? Pick a pitch at Camping La Viñuela, in Andalusia’s Axarquía area, to sit and admire the outlook from the comfort of the restaurant terrace while friendly folk bring you a succession of drinks, snacks and grilled main meals. If you like to put names to things, those views are of the Embalse de la Viñuela lake and La Maroma, the region’s tallest mountain. If that peak has enticed you over for a closer peek, the mountains and caves of the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park are around 35 minutes away by car. It’s a most peaceful rural spot, but it’s not that far from civilisation – supermarkets and other food shops are 10 minutes’ drive away in La Viñuela and the large El Ingenio mall is 15 minutes away for clothes shops, cinemas and a wide range of restaurants. Beachy days can be had 25 minutes away in Torre del Mar and historic wanders in gorgeous Granada, an hour and a half away. Roam all you wish, or not at all – a day spent on site can be easily spent splashing in the open-air pool and/or kids’ pool, having a kickabout at the small football field and sampling sweet treats from the ice cream shop that opens up in summer. Snack bits for a picnic lunch (think fresh bread and cured meats…) can be picked up at the site shop.

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked: Peace and quiet. Friendly reception staff. Beautiful views. All facilities we needed. Fab walk adjacent to the campsite for dogs.

Disliked: The showers could do with a bit of updating. 3 showers - only 1 really useable as a door panel didn't shut on one, and another didn't have the head to the shower so it was just a hose. Although they were clean.

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked: This was our second time returning to this lovely campsite. It´s situated right next to woodlands, it has a really big pool, the pitches are good sizes, and everything is so peaceful and beautiful there.

Disliked: It could do with a few touch-ups in the bathroom and the pool tiles but didn´t affect our stay negatively at all, we had an awesome time.

Liked: camping pequeño con piscina y sombra naturales de arboles

Disliked: Tiene cerca algun salon de bodas/fiestas, con la musica muy fuerte hasta las 06.00 madrugada

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hola Héctor muchas gracias por su valoración! Comentarle que no tenemos cerca ningún salón de fiestas, lo que ha pasado es que durante su estancia han sido las fiestas del pueblo que está cerca del camping, y por eso escucha la música, pero es algo puntual, pues han sido las fiestas del pueblo. Muchas gracias Un saludo

Liked: El sítio es precioso. Muy bueno para quien hace senderismo y aprecia vistasos. Pitres tiene un festival en agosto que es muy alegre y la gente muy simpática. El staff del camping es muy amable y generoso. En Pitres hay un centro de observación astronomica con telescopios muy potentes y tuvimos una clase magnífica con Ruben. Volveré más veces y recomiendo la visita.

Eamonn M. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked: When we arrive, the view of the reservoir was lovely. This soon changed when we saw the rest of the site. It bore no resemblance to the pictures on Pitch up. They must have been taken many years ago. The site was poor. Toilets were old with glass panelled cubicles. We couldn’t even put toilet paper down the pan! Very old fashioned. They weren’t particularly clean either. As for the swimming pool, there were that many tiles missing in the pool, I’m surprised no-one suffered an injury. It was full insects and quite frankly a health hazard. It was so bad, we left a day early. Even the sign above the entrance to site is broken. The pictures imply the lake is part of the site but this not the case at all. The only saving grace is the bar/restaurant is good and reasonable. Will most definitely not be coming again.

Disliked: Everything!

Local attractions

Want to keep things country for a while? Slope off to the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park (35 minutes’ drive) for hikes and climbing, or the Nerja Caves (also 35 minutes) to see the stalactites and stalagmites that lurk below the surface (and work out which ones are which…) Wing it home via the Honey Museum of Malaga (20 minutes) to learn about the local sweet stuff. Up for some sea air? Take the 25-minute drive to Torre del Mar for beaches, a waterpark or a round of golf with a sea view, or make it to Málaga (45 minutes) to hike around the hilltop Arab Alcazaba and take in the Picasso museum or fashion museum before hitting the sands. There’s another Alcazaba fort in Vélez-Málaga (20 minutes), along with a contemporary art museum, and the famed Moorish Alhambra is an hour and a half away in Granada – do your best to get up early if you’re headed here, so you’ll have time to stroll around the Albaicín Arab quarter, taking in tea and tagines along the way.
