  • Wildlife haven site in the Sierra de la Culebra
  • On the banks of a river with spectacular views of Valparaiso reservoir
  • Direct access to a beach; bar-restaurant terrace with beach views
Spanish nature hol, anyone? With spectacular reservoir views, a sandy beach… and a Castile and Leon setting among the wildlife haven of the Sierra de la Culebra? Make for Camping Los Molinos. Wildlife – and wolf – spotters will be in their element around here: the 95-kilometre stretch of the Sierra de la Culebra is famed in Europe as one of the last remaining habitats of the Iberian wolf, who roam around this Iberian Peninsula setting of north-western Spain and north-eastern Portugal. Montesinho Natural Park, within the mountain range and over the border in Portugal, is home too to roe and red deer, wild boar, foxes, otters and Iberian lynxes; in the other direction, birdwatching is at the wetlands around Vinhais an hour’s drive away. The site is in the Zamora Province, by the Tera river and close to the clear waters of Valparaiso reservoir which can be seen from the Molinos grounds. It has direct access to a small beach for sunbathing, kayaking, swimming and fishing… if this sounds a tad too energetic, claim a spot on the bar-restaurant terrace for beach views. There’s an indoor dining room at the restaurant too, as well as a big woodburning barbecue grilling fresh local meat.

What customers say

This campsite boasts a beautiful lakeside location, perfect for water activities like wild swimming and boat hire, with many praising the friendly staff and clean facilities, particularly the showers and toilets. The on-site bar and restaurant also received positive mentions. However, some visitors found pitches small, wifi unreliable, and reported issues with noise from other campers. A few also experienced a lack of hot water or poor water pressure in the showers, and one review noted management seemed disinterested.

Javier U.

Electric optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked El entorno es fantástico

Disliked Duchas con poca presión de agua, instalaciones dejan mucho que desear .Una noche fuimos al bar a cenar a las 22:10 y estaba cerrada la cocina por que según ellos no había mucha gente y cerraron antes de su hora de cierre que son las 23:00 según la página en internet, luego que nos pareció mal un día fuimos a comprar agua y un helado y el pago con tarjeta a partir de 10 eur cuando se debería pode pagar con tarjeta ya que no hay nada cerca y si no tienes metálico no se puede y al tratar de hablar con la persona encargada supuestamente .. nos dejó con la palabra en la boca y nos dio la espalda pasando de nosotros .. mal educado .. no volveré jamás

Electric optional grass and earth touring caravan pitch

Liked El paraje en el que está ubicado

Disliked Había contratado una parcela con electricidad para dos personas y creí que el coche estaba incluido, si se aparcaba en la parcela de la caravana.

Al llegar me dijeron que si quería meter el coche en la parcela debía pagar 6,20 € por día.

En otros campings que he reservado con Pitchup no me ha pasado.

Local attractions

Delve into more local cuisine by buzzing along to the honey centre in Sagallos (five minutes’ drive), or dig some ancient history with a subterranean adventure to see the rock paintings at Linarejos 20 minutes from the site. Architecture aficionados should like the old buildings and ‘hell’s bridge’ at Santa Cruz de los Cuérragos, 25 minutes’ drive east; the same distance to the west, the ancient town of Puebla de Sanabria, one of the oldest in the province, has a fort and a 16th-century castle to potter around, as well as a 13th-century church and the 16th-century town hall. Just west of Puebla de Sanabria, Sanabria Lake 40 minutes from Camping Los Molinos is worth a look: it’s the biggest glacial lake in the Iberian Peninsula and is surrounded by the Sanabria Lake Natural Park. Wildlife thrives in these parts too; drop into the interpretation centre at San Martín de Castañeda for info, set in an old monastery building once owned by medieval Cistercians. Wolf-spotting tours can be booked in Villafafila, an hour and 10 minutes away.
