  • 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

Tidy spot, great pool & showers. Friendly staff. Spacious, level pitches. Restaurant & shop handy. Some noise from schoolies & pitch mix-ups, Wi-Fi iffy.

Power optional gravel site

Liked Very clean and tidy. A well laid out site with excellent facilities

Disliked It’s supposed to be complete silence between 12 midnight & 7am. There were a couple of school trips staying at the site while we were there. One night these children were, for some reason, left alone and they took advantage of this. We were kept awake until 3am while these children went mad, screaming and shouting. Security actually did something at 3am.

Power optional gravel site

Liked Campingplatz in toller Lage.
Liegt mitten in der Natur.
Schöner Schwimmpool.
Sanitäramlagen völlig ok.

Disliked Leider ist der kleine Minimarkt nicht so gut bestückt und da der nächste Supermarkt nicht in der Nähe ist, wäre es gut wenn man das Angebot verbessern würde.
Während unseres Aufenthalten waren parallel mehrere Schulklassen untergebracht die auch im Lokal verpflegt wurden. Es war nicht sonderlich angenehm bei dieser Geräuchkulisse zu essen. Auch war dadurch das Essen nicht mehr warm .
An einem Wochenende wurde auf dem Platz eine Hochzeit gefeiert und leider hinterließen die Gäste im Restaurant einen Schwei......
3 Tage vor der Durchführung einer Desinfektion gab es einen Aushang wo alle Gäste darauf hingewiesen wurden dass eine Desinfektion der Sanitäramlagen durchgeführt wird und alle den Campingplatz von 9 -14 Uhr verlassen müssen . Das wäre eine normale Maßnahme aber wir waren doch ein wenig skeptisch. Wir sind dann an dem Tag abgereist.

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…
