  • Peaceful Castile y León family campsite on the Camino de Santiago
  • A 10-minute drive to León; San Pedro de Eslonza Monastery, 20 minutes
  • Pine-shaded pitches; two swimming pools and a shop on site
When you’re looking for a peaceful base from which to explore the sprawling province of Castile y León, or needing a few days’ break from walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrim route, have a peek at Camping Ciudad de León. Tucked into pine forest 10 minutes’ drive away from the spectacular historic city of León, this family-friendly site also has plenty to offer for those days when you don’t want to move far from your tree-shaded pitch. As well as a playground for younger kids, there’s one outdoor pool for adults and a smaller one for novice swimmers (both open in July and August). You can keep everyone looking spick and span thanks to the laundry service and the plentiful supply of hot water in the modern facilities block. Pick up supplies for your trip in the site’s grocery store. Alternatively, head for the terrace bar and restaurant (both open from Easter to the end of October), where breakfast, lunch and supper are served daily. And when you’re ready for sightseeing in León? From the campsite into the centre of the city, there is one daily bus which leaves the site in the morning.

Noreen C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked Nothing pitch up should go and look at all the campsites on their website as some of them are an absolute disgrace. We had to give it one star as we couldn’t progress. I would actually give it no stars.

Disliked There was no chemical toilet. There was no hose available at the chemical toilet. There was no refuse available on site. There was no grey water available on site. The bar was open but only for about an hour and a half in the evening an hour in the morning. The site was filthy. The music played until 5 o’clock in the morning we had to close the windows in 25 degree heat and nobody was available to stop it.

From the manager: Muy buenas nunca contesto a los comentarios pero es que tu te pasas
si no hay baño químico y luego dices que no hay manguera en el baño químico tenemos o no tenemos pues te diré
que si tenemos y también tenemos una manguera de ducha para limpiarlos en el mismo sitio .
la basura se encuentra en los contenedores y también tienes en los fregaderos donde todo el mundo lo echa al menos que tu no sepas lo que es para tal uso .el bar si es verdad que se abre de 9 -10 por la mañana para el pan o los desayunos, por semana de 12 A 3 para comidas y de 7 a 9 para las cenas todos los días el resto del día esta abierto para recepción de 3 tarde a 9 noche si en el momento no nos encontramos en el bar hay un timbre para las necesidades
siempre se a atendido a toda la gente .el lugar estaba sucio depende la exquisitez de cada uno estamos el el bosque en consecuencias hay ramas y hojas contantemente por el suelo la musica que esta fuera de nuestro camping nosotros no la podemos parar ni las fiestas de los pueblos eso es imposible.no espero que mi respuesta sea de tu agrado pero no se puede ir destruyendo negocios con comentarios sin sentido y no esperar represalias a qui termino sim despedirme

Liked Location - 10 minute drive into Leon
Lots of shady trees

Disliked Barking dogs of the site owners/managers
The whole site felt very uncared for and staff not particularly helpful or welcoming, not particularly interested in their guests.
Pitches are very tricky as they are just spaces between trees and hard to get van flat.

Liked Good location for visiting Leon. Clean facilities.

Disliked Not very clear where the drinking water was to fill up our van. Nor where to get rid of grey waste. We ended up servicing the van at an aire in town.

Liked Die Campingplatz Betreiber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir können nicht viel aussagen weil wir nur eine Übernachtung hatten. Sanitär war sehr sauber und gepflegt, gerne wieder.

Disliked Die Zufahrt war sehr holprig, sollte man verbessern.

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked Absolutely nothing!

Disliked The site is in the middle of a part built, and vandalised housing estate a long way from the city. I could not determine any means of getting into Leon via public transport. The lane approaching the site was rutted ( as others have noted) but passable. On entering the site, reception was closed with a sign directing one to the restaurant which was also closed!. There was no more than one other occupant of the site. The site had all the attraction of the Bates motel. We turned around and left.

Local attractions

So… where to start in León? Head for the ancient Barrio Húmedo old town for a peek at the jewel-like stained glass in the soaring Gothic Catedral de León, and the Romanesque-era Basílica de San Isidoro, adorned with bright frescoes and an ornate, gilded altar. Admire Antoni Gaudí’s impressive Casa Botines and its colonnaded cloisters, and call in at museums of history and contemporary art. After all that culture, retire to a bar and recharge your energy levels with a selection of regional tapas and a glass of something chilled. When out and about discovering Castile y León, look out for the cliffside caves at Yacimiento Arqueológico de Las Cuevas Menudas, or stroll around the photogenic ruins of San Pedro de Eslonza Monastery (both 20 minutes' drive). If you’d rather explore on foot, you can glimpse views of the León skyline from Cuestas de Las Lomas Park (10 minutes’ walk), or scale hills and follow waymarked trails through dense forest along Las Cadenas hiking trail (20 minutes).
