  • 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

Highly recommended site with great, clean facilities and friendly staff. Guests enjoyed the restaurant, bar, shop, and nearby beaches. Ideal for families, though some noted poor WiFi, pitch issues, and noise. Book ahead as it's often busy.

Dennis O.

Power optional gravel campsite

Liked Good arrival system park up choose say 3 pitches go back see which available and move in. Nice pool area, restaurant and shop on site the shop very basic but you should get sorted, restaurant and bar ok only one choice of draught beer not great no common brands of bottled beer like Corona etc.. showers and toilet facilities are great modern and functional and always being cleaned. Pitches are varied in sizes bear in mind manoeuvres when choosing especially caravans and long MH. A bit isolated unless you have a car or electric bikes would do the road is good for cycling the Spaniards are very courteous to cyclists which is great. O

Disliked If you’re looking for peace and quiet there was a lot of kids about just enjoying themselves but at a price the noise.

Anthony M.

Power optional gravel campsite

Liked Best site we found in the area. Large site with good level pitches and shade from trees in winter and awnings in summer.
Efficient reception with adjacent cafe / restaurant and shop, both of a good standard and reasonable prices considering they have a captive audience!
Fantastic showers, toilets etc. Very modern and cleaned throughout the day.
ACSI Cards accepted.
Always at high capacity, so plan well ahead and book for following year of returning !!

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…
