  • León and Monasterio de Santa María de Sandoval 35 minutes’ drive
  • Dogs welcome; pool, multi-sports field and tennis court; restaurant
The website announces proudly that Camping Pico Verde was created by a camping enthusiast. That must be the reason why this secure site on the outskirts of the northern Spanish town of Valencia de Don Juan (five minutes’ drive along the VCL-621 road) ticks so many boxes. First of all: families are welcome here (and well-behaved family dogs, too). There’s a playground with a miniature adventure course (climbing and crawling structures) and a TV room to keep the kids busy (and, one would hope, happy), plus an outdoor pool for grown-ups, who can lounge here with a cerveza and a plate of tapas from the restaurant. Keen to gather the whole family around one activity? On site, you can organise a ping-pong or tennis tournament, or utilise the multi-purpose sports court; if you prefer to embark on a family exploration of the local area, the Camino Natural Vía Verde del Esla departs from Valencia de Don Juan and loosely follows the course of the river Esla, snaking past fields of sunflowers and poplar groves all the way to the town of Castrofuerte. From there, you can continue a little further south-west to a birdwatching area with elevated hides for a picnic in the shade of tall trees. Speaking of shade, pitches at Pico Verde are shaded, level and grassy, with privacy-giving hedges; a wooded area (a top spot for dog walks) skirts the stream running along the southern border of the site. In addition to a toilet block with accessible facilities, there’s free hot water and washing machines.

Local attractions

On the road to Valencia de Don Juan, a five-minute drive from the site, is a water park with multiple pools, water slides and spraying mushrooms where the kids can turn into little prunes on hot summer’s days. The complex also includes an adventure course with routes for children and adults, and plenty of grassy areas in which to unfurl a towel. Explore the Monasterio de Santa María de Sandoval (35 minutes’ drive), taking in its decorative portal and simple stone cloister. Built in the 12th century by Cistercian monks, the monastery was abandoned in 1835 and slowly fell into disrepair. Stroll through the town centre in Léon (35 minutes), past elegant buildings with wrought-iron balconies and oversized windows. The Gothic cathedral comes with an ornate cloister lined with statues, while the Antoni Gaudí-designed Casa Botines houses artworks by the likes of Dalí and Goya.

What customers say

Great for families, with shady spots and handy access to pools & sports. Toilets and showers are clean, staff are helpful. Some older facilities and electrical glitches noted. A few flies and limited extras, but good for a stopover or local exploring.

Ged R.

Power optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent site

Liked Location, pleasant and very welcoming staff. Good sanitary facilities which were very clean. Really nice shaded pitches.

Disliked Pool not operational and hadn’t been for some time by the look of it - we’d been looking forward to a dip but obviously couldn’t! Other than that, nothing to complain about.
