  • Quiet site among olive trees and with spectacular mountain views
  • A short drive from Ronda and close to three natural parks
  • Pool, miniature golf and bar-restaurant with tapas and homemade cakes
Might you care for lush mountain views on your Spanish holiday? How about pitching up in the province of Malaga, surrounded by three national parks in a setting among olive trees, centenary trees and forests – and a piffling distance from the fab old town of Ronda? Sure you would... so settle down for some significant time at Camping El Sur. El Sur is a peaceful, roomy and family-friendly site, close to the Sierra de Grazalema, Sierra de las Nieves and Los Alcornocales natural parks. Stacks more spectacular sights are within easy driving distance: ask the knowledgeable El Sur reception team for info on the best attractions and scenic car ride routes. Should you care to stick around on site for a spell (you surely should), the modern facilities include miniature golf, ping pong tables and a summer pool scenically set among greenery and flowers. A bar-restaurant serves traditional local food along with tapas and homemade cakes – you might very much care for all these foodie goodies also.

What customers say

This site gets rave reviews for its friendly staff, spotless facilities, and great restaurant. Location's a big plus, with a nice walk to Ronda and lovely countryside. Pitches are roomy and well-kept. Pool area's a standout. Some wished for more shop stock and longer pool hours. A few noted hard ground for pegs and dim lighting in spots, but these are minor quibbles.

Liked Oh, where do I even start! Carmen greeted us the moment we arrived with a broad, welcoming smile and a lovely French accent that instantly set the tone for a fantastic stay.
Because the site features a hard base, pitching a tent requires a bit of extra gear. Carmen made sure we were completely set up for success by providing everything we needed: heavy-duty ground pegs, a heavy hammer, and an electric hookup adapter. She generously lent us all of this equipment free of charge, which was such a thoughtful and practical gesture.
The campsite itself was absolutely spotless from end to end:

● Sanitary Facilities: The toilets and showers were plentiful, impeccably clean, and very well presented throughout our entire stay.

● Pool Area: The swimming pool was amazing, peaceful, sparkling, and never overcrowded, allowing us to swim and relax in complete comfort.

● On-Site Amenities: The site is fully equipped with a modern laundrette, pristine dishwashing stations, easily accessible drinkable water taps, and fantastic play areas for children (even though ours have now flown the nest!).

● Stunning Views: The view from the lookout point overlooking Ronda was breathtakingly peaceful, the perfect spot to unwind and take in the scenery.

● Dining & Hospitality: The restaurant and bar were excellent, serving great food and drinks, and the entire staff team was brilliant, attentive, and friendly.

● WI-Fi: This was better than expected. We pitched on the edge of the site and the reception was full throughout our stay.

● Location: Located within walking distance of Ronda, which offered a wealth of historical and cultural attractions, this was an excellent outing. We also drove to a nearby freshwater lake, which was refreshingly cool despite the heat of the sun. The natural scenery was both impressive and invigorating. There's much more to see and do locally, which we will be sampling during our next visit.

We loved it so much that we actually booked to return again just 9 days later! We missed the place the second we drove away.

Disliked Nothing....over the moon with everything!

Liked Me gustó todo, el trato del personal, las parcelas, la piscina, las duchas. Todo está muy bien pensado y limpio. De los 3 camping que fuimos este verano, fue el mejor. Nos prestaron el adaptador de la electricidad, cuando en otro camping nos cobraron 5€ más un depósito de 20€.

Disliked El restaurante abre al mediodía y no da desayunos. Por lo demás todo bien.

Local attractions

To the mountaintop city of Ronda first, for shops, restaurants, tapas bars and Moorish sites such as the Arab baths, Ronda bullring (one of the oldest in Spain), the Palacio de Mondragón and the gardens – and spectacular views – of Paseo de Blas Infante. Ronda's also famed for its El Tajo gorge, where the Guadalevín river gushes through the city centre: stop off on the 18th-century bridge spanning the gorge for stunning views over the Serranía de Ronda mountains. This beaut part of Andalusia is a land of high peaks, Spanish fir forests and the white villages of the Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos and their buildings dating back to Phoenician and Roman times. The best known of these is probably Setenil de las Bodegas, where houses hang over the Trejo river; other must-sees are Olvera, Grazalema, Algodonales, El Gastor and Zahara de la Sierra, all most picworthy indeed. Caves, caverns, chasms and caving are popular picks too: take a trip to see the 25,000 year old wall paintings of Cueva del Hundidero-Gato and Cueva de la Pileta, making up Andalusia's biggest cave system. The caves are about half an hour's drive away and can be visited in groups of up to 20 – booking in advance is essential, so ask the Camping El Sur reception team to assist. Fishing, horse riding, paragliding, hot air ballooning and greenway cycling trails are all within easy reach.
