Add your business details- In the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park
- Easy access to over 25km of Spanish beaches
- Bar, restaurant, bike hire and fresh bread for sale
What a nifty Spanish location: Camping Cabo de Gata is right in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, surrounded by palm mimosas and in the Almerian Gulf on the south-east coast of Andalusia.
You'll have easy access to over 25km of splendid Spanish sands from here, and the area is one for outdoorsy enthusiasts as well as beach buffs – for arid Almeria has all sorts on offer in its warm and dry climate. (But do check out the beaches and the nature park first…)
As suits a park in a such a sunny part of Spain, Camping Cabo de Gata has shady spots aplenty, on a modern and well-maintained park with up to date facilities, a swimming pool open all year and plenty of room to play tennis, basketball, football and pétanque.
The site also has a bar and restaurant, takeaway, a mini market, an internet room, grey water and chemical disposal, bike hire and fresh bread for sale along with butane, propane and camping gas. Wifi is available too.
