  • Pitches next to the Arcos de la Frontera reservoir, with a lake beach
  • Walk to Arcos de la Frontera in 45 minutes; Cádiz 45 minutes' drive
  • Swimming pool and restaurant on site; watersports and fishing close by
Here’s a sweet spot for holidays spent exploring the Sierra de Cadiz – Camping Lago de Arcos is next to the Arcos de la Frontera reservoir, surrounded by lush vegetation and with scenic views across the lake and up to the pretty hilltop town of Arcos de la Frontera. Being close to the banks of the lake means that you’ll be in prime position for various water-based activities including fishing, canoeing and swims from the lake beach. There are lots of trails in the surrounding area and in the nearby Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park too, so there should be plenty of choice for hikers and wildlife spotters. If your tastes tend more towards wandering through little villages and seeking out nice places to eat, you too will be in a good position here – it will take you about five minutes to drive up to Arcos de la Frontera, or you can walk up in about 45 minutes to spend the day exploring the maze of narrow streets. Several more of Andalusia’s ‘pueblos blancos’ can easily be visited from here, as can bigger towns and cities like Cádiz or Jerez de la Frontera, or the beaches of the Costa de la Luz. So, a great spot for getting out and about – but also a great spot for spending some relaxing time on site, taking dips in the swimming pool, grabbing drinks from the bar and taking your pick of local and international dishes at the restaurant. There’s also a playground where the kids can play safely while you chill out. Handy facilities on site include a launderette, a wifi service, a food shop and bathroom block.

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked: De ligging van de camping, langs geen drukke weg. Dicht bij het meer met een strandje.

Disliked: Het was veel te druk, veel te veel volwassenen en kinderen. Met gevolg van : zwembad overbevolkt, douches, toiletten vies. Afwassen met koud water !! Op de camperplaats niks van privé. Iedereen plaatst zich zou maar. Maar het ergste was het lawaai s’avonds. Huilende, roepende kinderen net een crèche. Luid pratende volwassen, muziek maken om 24 uur,… Geen respect voor medekampeerders.

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked: De ligging. Het zicht op het dorp is heel mooi.

Disliked: De netheid van het sanitair. Geen warm water om af te wassen. Niet echt geschikt om te kamperen, focust zich op glamping, maar het oogt vooral mooi maar hygiëne kan beter. Ook heel druk vooral door kleine kinderen die na 22u nog steeds vaak kabaal maken.

Power optional grass and earth tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked: La ubicación. Al lado de Arcos y la playa del pantano. El bar de la piscina ,los camareros y la chica de recepción morena de rizos que eran encantadores. Las parcelas tienen buen tamaño . La piscina con puf , sombrillas, tumbonas y un tippy con sofás .

Disliked: La entrada para las caravanas es malísima , muy estrecha . Una de las duchas de mujeres , la segunda según entras a la izda se atasca y se encharca todo. Si buscas tranquilidad no es tu camping. El sábado 27 Julio , la gente saltándose a la torera el horario, música, gritos, haciendo una conga a las 00:46 de la mañana. Un niño todo la santa noche con una moto , un descontrol. La chica del camping grabando vídeos porque la gente tiene derecho a pasarlo bien y disfrutar . Esa gente que no respeta nada, ni parcelas ni horarios, cosa que los mismos empleados de camping hacían. Pasaban por tu parcela como Pedro por su casa, y cuando se lo decías, te contestaban que por donde pasaban al baño, pues dando la vuelta como hacemos todos. Pero claro como te ibas a quejar si los propios trabajadores hacían lo mismo, moviéndote todas tus cosas para no dar la vuelta.

Local attractions

Arcos de la Frontera (five minutes’ drive/45 minutes’ walk) should be your first port of call – there are several traditional churches to poke your head into, and some lovely tapas bars hidden away in the narrow streets, along with a viewpoint that gives glorious views out over the valley below. You may like to continue your tour of the ‘pueblos blancos’ with trips to Ubrique (half an hour), Zahara de la Sierra (40 minutes) and Grazalema (45 minutes) – or set off to the sherry bodegas and the magnificent Alcazar in Jerez de la Frontera (half an hour), a town that also has a strong flamenco tradition. The city of Cádiz (45 minutes) is another good option for a day out, to visit its cathedral, wander through its medieval centre and climb the Tavira Tower for some great views. The central market is the place for lunch, perhaps followed by some time on the sandy beach.
