  • 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.

What customers say

This campsite offers spectacular views of the lake and mountains, with many spacious and level pitches. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, as well as the good on-site restaurant. Cleanliness of the facilities is generally noted, although some mention the amenities are dated and could benefit from renovation. Access to the lake for walking and cycling is a highlight. While some found the site very peaceful, others experienced noise from nearby village celebrations. A few reviewers felt misled by photos, with one citing issues with the pool and toilet facilities, and another experiencing difficulties with booking and electrical hook-ups.

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked Price forthepitch, although ehu was steep @5 euros a night. The bread that was preordered was lovely albeit 3.80 euros a loaf...

Disliked Very tired and unkempt, the pitch was part soil part gravel and part tree debris. The restaurant was closed and the bar had a private party. Went the especially for the restaurant and the views- left disappointed.

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked Lovely views etc and nice layout as it’s terraced. Pool looks great and was being improved when we were there - we knew in advance it was closed so we didn’t mind.
The restaurant served great food and the staff are very nice.

Disliked Office closed when we arrived. Office hours on the door, but not on the site used for booking. Had to wait 2 hours.
Electric hook up has only one large waterproof connector, but the unit supplies two pitches , it was being used by the other pitch so we had to buy an adapter to hook up properly. Each pitch should have its own waterproof adapter as it’s much safer.
Gents showers really need a re grout in the enclosures and it’s very dirty around all the shower doors. It’s quite old by the look of it with a smell to match the age.
Broken steps outside shower block are dangerous.
The site is a “pitch up and pay up” site. Hasnt really got a personal touch that other sites have.

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.
