  • Quiet nature-filled site 10 minutes' walk from the centre of Grazalema
  • Half an hour's drive to Ronda; 40 minutes to Ubrique
  • In the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park; swimming pool on site
Staying somewhere that you can be immersed in nature is a wonderful thing, but isn't it a bit of a pain if you’re miles from shops, places to eat and other handy amenities? No such issues at Camping Tajo Rodillo, which manages to be both in the UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and only about 10 minutes’ walk from the centre of Grazalema, making it easy to pick up supplies in the shops or head out for an evening of tapas. Both the natural park and the town (one of Andalusia’s famed 'pueblos blancos’) are very pretty places to explore, and there are plenty of activities nearby too (including kayaking, climbing and horse riding as well as hikes or mountain bike rides). Tajo Rodillo also makes an excellent base for touring some of the other pueblos blancos (including Ubrique and Setenil de las Bodegas) and the pretty city of Ronda. Whichever way you choose to fill your days, in summer you’ll no doubt be pleased to come back to a refreshing dip in the site's open-air pool (which is open from June to September) and some time relaxing in the shade of the trees dotted around the park.

What customers say

Stunning mountain views and tranquility near Grazalema. Guests loved the location, cleanliness, and staff. Great walks, easy village access. Motorhomes may find pitches tight. Some noted a lack of laundry/dishwashing facilities.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked Really fabulous place - one of the best campsites we've stayed in. The views are incredible, the village and surrounding countryside are gorgeous, and the site itself is beautiful and very well maintained. It's peaceful and very friendly, with the staff making us feel very welcome. There's lots of shade, which has been an absolute God send for our two dogs, one of whom is 13, and some great local walks to enjoy with them. For the more adventurous, the mountain walk behind the campsite is a bit more challenging, but absolutely breathtaking, so well worth the effort. The village is gorgeous, with everything you need, from great restaurants and cafes, reasonable priced and well stocked supermarkets, a top quality butchers, a great little hardware store and the little market. The walk back to camp is steep, but even that's a plus for me as I really wanted to lose a few pounds, lol! There's taxis of course, if you want to take it easy! This place is absolutely amazing, and I can't recommend it highly enough. One of my favourite experiences here though is swimming in the pool and watching the wonderful eagles hovering above, with the stunning mountains in the background. Just awesome , and we'll definitely be back. ♥️🍾🥂🥂

Disliked Knowing that at some point we will have to leave! No, seriously, absolutely nothing to dislike - we could quite happily live in this beautiful place long-term! 😍♥️

Guy F.

Powered grass and gravel tent campsite

Liked toilets and showers clean, rural environment, everything tidy

Disliked Tent pitches are dried mud - not grass. The reception / bar was only open a few hours so not evenings and no breakfast available. (May) The site is a very long walk from Grazalema town. Since there were very few people it was quite noisy with people loudly talking on phones late at night and having conversations - earplugs required (but this is not the campsites fault!)

Liked The site is beautiful. If you want to get away from it all. The views are amazing The town is great.

Disliked It's not realy for motor homes. Vw transporter and smaller ok. I was only in a 6 meter motor home and it was a struggle getting parked up. I would go back here but only on foot or book a cabin. Definitely not for motor homes. Also I paid a deposit on line with pitch up and they charged me the full price

Liked Great location for walks into the mountains and down into the village. Reasonable sized pitches. Hot showers.

Disliked No hot water for washing up. No shower curtain so towel and clothes risked getting wet.

Liked Location. Surroundings. Tranquil and peaceful. Close to the beautiful village.

Disliked The washing up area for crockery/cutlery needs work. Only one was really useable and it was quite dirty and I couldn't get hot water. Had to take my cups/plates back to the camper to wash.

Liked Friendly staff
Beautiful location just above Grazalema village which is stunning .
Very quiet location
Ask for pitch 1 or 2 with a large motor home

A little map with facilities available would have been helpful

Disliked Access and parking for a 7.5m MH was not easy at all. The pitch allocated was not suitable.
Staff were happy to allocate a different one for us.

From the manager: En primer lugar pedirle nuestras más sinceras disculpas por la situación.

Llevamos muy poco tiempo trabajando con Pitchup y su forma de pago se hace mediante una pasarela de pago llamada Stripe. Para devolver su dinero hemos de acceder a esta pasarela de pago para realizar el reembolso pero durante estas semanas nos ha sido imposible debido a las dificultosas trabas que Stripe nos estaba poniendo para poder acceder, debido a según ellos, un problema de autentificación. Tras semanas de contactos hemos logrado tener acceso y su dinero ha sido finalmente reembolsado.

De nuevo pedirle disculpas y puede volver a venir cuando usted desee.

Saludos.

Local attractions

You'll want to start with a wander around Grazalema, of course, taking in the cobbled streets flanked by white buildings adorned with gorgeous colourful flowers. Plaza de España is the heart of the town, and the surrounding streets have lots of shops selling local foods and crafts (including the wool blankets that were once the town’s main source of income). Activity organisers in town can help you sort days of things like horse riding, watersports and climbing. If you'd like to set out on your own, there are plenty of hiking trails around and natural areas to explore – some top picks are Llanos del Campo (15 minutes’ drive), which has several marked trails, and Cueva del Gato (40 minutes), where you can hike through karst landscapes and then swim in natural pools. And how about ticking off some of the pueblos blancos? They’re all very attractive places with their own character, so it's worth visiting a few if you can. Zahara de la Sierra (half an hour), Ubrique (40 minutes) and Setenil de las Bodegas (50 minutes) are all great places to wander around, as is the lovely city of Ronda (half an hour).
