  • Peaceful family site on the banks of the Tormes river
  • Under six kilometres from the ancient city of Salamanca
  • Pools, indoor play, car wash and restaurant for guests and locals
There’s lots to like about the Castile and Leon site of Camping Don Quijote, but you might care to focus on the most important first – the restaurant here is rather special. Open to guests and locals alike – always a good sign – this stellar spot is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a good drink. There’s an extensive wine list, as well as a menu for kids and special dishes throughout the year… all to work through indoors or out on the renovated terrace, or to take away to have by your berth. All that, and dogs are allowed too. The setting of the site is worth a postcard home too: Camping Don Quijote is on the banks of the Tormes river, only 15 minutes’ drive from the splendid old city of Salamanca, and about 20 minutes’ walk (a kilometre and a half) from local village Cabrerizos. And on site? There are pools for grownups and tiddlers, a multigames zone for indoor play, and a soccer field for kicking a ball about. The completely overhauled amenities include separate toilets for ladies, gents and guests with reduced mobility, hot water 24 hours a day, baby bathtubs and changing tables, and a laundry area with dishwashing sinks; the site also has a car wash. And one more, most excellent, aspect of that Camping Don Quijote restaurant? Let the staff know if you’re celebrating something and they’ll make your night go with an extra zing.

Power optional concrete and grass motorhome site

Liked: Great site, staff are very helpful and friendly the pitches are generous in size there are brilliant walks by the river which is a five minute walk away the bar and restaurant is well staffed who speak various languages and the food is good and reasonably priced.

Disliked: Although the reception staff are efficient, on the day we arrived there was only one person booking people in, but a 30 minute wait to get checked in??this could be improved.

Liked: We really liked the staff, the shade, the facilities!

Disliked: The schedule of the swimming pool could be longer and we needed a place next to it to have our dog. As dogs are not allowed at the area of the swimming pool, I couldn't be swimming with my husband and daughter at the same time. The wifi was really bad.

Liked: Me encanto la estancia en este camping, el cual estaba super limpio todo, las instalaciones eran muy buenas, parcelas muy amplias, excepcional el tiempo que le dedican a los niños con fantásticos juegos y entretenimiento donde además de jugar hacen amigos de manera fluida. El restaurante que está dentro del camping sirve una comida muy rica y de calidad.

Liked: Decent but some things are annoying. Shop at the campsite close by 7pm… why? WiFi doesn’t work. You can’t get a coffee from the bar before 9:30pm… why?

Liked: Camping fantástico muy cerca de Salamanca. Servicios muy limpios i el personal atento. Parada de autobús muy cerca para visitar la ciudad i olvidarte de llevar vehículos. No pude conectar el wifi.. imagino q por culpa mía. Las parcelas son bastante amplias i con sombra.

Local attractions

Salamanca, of course… drive or cycle from Camping Don Quijote to this spectacular city, a university town, UNESCO World Heritage Site and former European Capital of Culture. Where to start? The Don Quijote team recommends just getting lost among the city streets; every corner, they say, is worth it, and at any time of year too. If you prefer your sightseeing time to be more itinerary-based, make first for Plaza Mayor, often called the most beautiful central plaza in the country, and stay until dark to see the baroque architecture light up. And then? Other Salamanca sightseeing options (there are many) include taking one of the four routes around the city, pottering around the Casa Lis Art Nouveau and Art Deco museum, having a look at the Escuelas Mayores courtyard at the University of Salamanca, and sampling yet more local cuisine such as chanfaina (steamed rice with pork) and hornazo meat pies – drop into the visitors’ centre in the San Millán Church for all the info you need.
