  • 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.

What customers say

Top campsite, raved about for facilities, clean, and friendly staff. Guests love the spacious, shaded pitches, great pool, and handy restaurant/supermarket. Perfect for families, with good kids' entertainment. Some note tight pitches for big rigs and occasional noise. Wifi can be spotty.

Liked Nos ha encantado desde el trato ,la limpieza de los baños y duchas super bien la piscina genial cómodo y acogedor ,había muchos lavaderos con su pilas super volveremos.

Disliked La única pega que pondría es que cerrasen las piscina un poco más tarde al menos hasta las 20:00u 20;30porque es la mejor hora ,y la cobertura es un poco mala pero está la wifi que va estupenda.

Power optional gravel site

Liked Nice fully serviced pitches a bit tight for a 8m motorhome though, clean showers and toilets good laundry facilities good food and drink even though very slow service we feel 2 or 3 days is more than enough time to spend here

Disliked We left a day early due guests being allowed to pitch up even knocking pegs in after 11pm and even midnght (arrivals 14.00 to 23.00)eitherside of our pitch with no consideration for other guests and even set up a pa system next day with loud music. Large party opposite noisy.

Power optional gravel site

Liked Very clean and tidy. A well laid out site with excellent facilities

Disliked It’s supposed to be complete silence between 12 midnight & 7am. There were a couple of school trips staying at the site while we were there. One night these children were, for some reason, left alone and they took advantage of this. We were kept awake until 3am while these children went mad, screaming and shouting. Security actually did something at 3am.

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…
