Pool and poolside loungers

  • Quiet shaded site 10 minutes' drive from the town of Medina Sidonia
  • Just over half an hour's drive to the coast, or 40 minutes to Cadiz
  • Set among a nature haven: spot kestrels, owls, moles and rabbits
Seeking serenity as well as scenery? A short drive from the hilltop town of Medina Sidonia, Camping Medina Sidonia has spectacular views out towards the coastal city of Cádiz… and a nicely laidback vibe well away from the crowds of thronging seaside towns. Pitch up here and you might well think you've stepped into Farthing Wood: protected from the winds of the east, the local area has its own microclimate, which provides all the right conditions for a lushly shaded wildlife haven for you to wander around. And there's a fair bit to see too: among pine, eucalyptus, poplar, almond and other trees, this is a natural habitat for heaps of local birds such as goldfinch, sparrows, nightingales, partridge, blackbirds, kestrels, hawks, vultures and owls, as well as a whole bunch of mammal wildlife including hedgehogs, Egyptian mongoose, moles and rabbits. In among all that, cool off with a dip in the outdoor pool, then secure yourself a big drink at the beach bar – you'll definitely need at least one to keep you company while you're draped over one of the poolside loungers all afternoon... The on-site medical hut is on hand for any minor incidents; for anything else supplies- or medicine-wise, the local town is 10 minutes' drive away.

Electric forest floor pitch

Liked: The owner is friendly and accomodating ... Nice shaded location in the Spanish heat

Disliked: The campsite because of its location on a steep track on the mountain is not suitable for large motorhomes and caravans that are not towed by a powerful 4 X 4

Electric forest floor pitch

Liked: Las mujeres de la limpieza se notaba que se esforzaban por dejar los baños decentes aunque durasen 5 min. Tuvimos unos vecinos de parcela espectaculares.

Disliked: Alquilamos este camping para una autocaravana y dos tiendas pequeñas con TRES MESES DE ANTELACIÓN (100 m2 + punto de luz). Llamamos para confirmar que todo esto era posible y nos dijeron que sin problemas. La sorpresa cuando llegamos allí fue tremenda. Primero nos dicen que no saben si van a caber las dos tiendas pequeñas + autocaravana (¿en 100 m2 cuadrados no?). Efectivamente, nos habían dado una parcela que no tenia 100 m2 y con una inclinación más que considerable, apañamos las tiendas casi una encima de la otra y tuvimos que dejar media autocaravana fuera. Las calles del camping estrechas para una autocaravana, a lo que se sumaba los coches en mitad de las calles + sillas cortando el paso de las calles (del acceso al camping ni hablamos, caminos de tierra con una pendiente que quita el hipo, si está lloviendo ni te molestes en llegar al camping). El punto de luz ni si quiera pudimos usarlo, ya que los cables que llevábamos no llegaban. Les preguntamos amablemente si podríamos alquilar algún cable extra, lo que una de las chicas nos dijo que sí, que ahora nos traía uno...después de esperar 1.30 h fuimos a recepción, donde un hombre nos mandó de muy malas maneras a la ferretería del pueblo a las 20.30 h de un sábado. En cuanto a la piscina...increíble, no he visto un agua tan estanca, turbia y llena de pelos en la vida, repugnante. Al día siguiente reclamamos en recepción que nos abonaran el servicio del punto de luz, nos dijeron que no tenían forma de controlar si habíamos disfrutado del servicio (????????????) tras 15 min de discusión conseguimos un reembolso de 6 €. En conclusión: huye de este camping.

Local attractions

From here you can easily go on long rambles and mountain bike rides around the spectacular Spanish countryside surrounding the site: the local town of Medina Sidonia is a pretty spot to wander around, full of Roman galleries, a Gothic church, a convent, Mudéjar architecture and several medieval monuments. While you're there, it's well worth sampling something of the region's sweets, such as an alfajor cookie or some other sugary treat, usually made primarily with almonds and honey. For seaside days, the site is about 40 minutes' drive from the Bay of Cádiz and the seaside spots of Rota, La Ballena beach, Elba Costa Ballena beach and Thalasso Resort. Other coastal sites and activities within easy reach from Cádiz include the sherry-producing town of El Puerto de Santa María and Chipiona seaside resort, home to a 13th-century castle-museum, a huge lighthouse and a well-established sailing school.
