  • Peaceful and friendly site overlooking Andalucia's largest reservoir
  • Lake watersports and climbing, rafting and canyoning in Benamejí
  • Scenic terrace restaurant serving homegrown organic cuisine
The rather spectacular vistas towards the Iznájar reservoir are the big draw at Camping La Isla – as well as its friendly owners and lush setting at the entrance to the Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park, with lots of outdoor activities within 20 minutes’ drive. Surrounded scenically by mountains and wooded foothills, the vast manmade water expanse of Iznájar is Andalusia’s largest, making for an excellent base for outdoorsy sorts to pitch up in pursuit of an active hol: walking, horse riding and cycling, plus swimming, sailing and kayak and pedalo hire are available on and around the lake. Back at base, an outdoor pool is to hand for cooling dips and lots of unwinding at its roomy grass terrace, all among heaps of lush Mediterranean greenery. Elsewhere, those with tiddlers in tow can pack their offspring off to befriend other small guests at the site’s playground, and during the busiest season, the park’s friendly and accommodating team (say enthused previous guests) organises themed evenings and activities both in and out of the pool for guests’ on-site amusement. When hunger strikes, local eats made using hosts Mati and Barto’s homegrown organic produce are available from the park’s licensed restaurant and its splendid terrace, where you can sit back and enjoy an evening aperitif (the mojitos are especially mucho quaffsome) while gazing on your fab lakeside setting.

Local attractions

The lakeside setting of this site gives way to many an outdoor pursuit in the locale; away from the lake, guests can test their mettle with whitewater rafting, canyoning and clambering up via ferrata climbing routes on and around the Genil river. Camping La Isla’s Andalucia setting around 15 minutes’ drive from the southern edge of Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park is also a little over an hour's drive from inland spots such as Córdoba and Granada for urbanised days around historic cities. Another easy excursion option is an hour’s road trip to the lively port city of Málaga on southern Spain’s Costa del Sol, where heaps of kid-friendly activities and attractions around the coastline include several waterparks and the 40 family-friendly amusements at Tivoli World theme park. Should one be of a foodie persuasion, tours to sample the local gastronomy are highly recommended: Rute is famed across the land for its tasty and traditionally produced brandies and liquors, and the area is also known for its abundance of olive oil and charcuterie meats.

What customers say

Staff are praised as friendly and helpful. Enjoy the pool, shade, clean grounds, and nearby walks. Food's good value. Note some tight, concrete pitches (not for big RVs). It's remote from shops. Lake's too low for swimming.

Power optional grass and gravel campsite

Liked We went at a quiet time so we practically had the place to ourselves. Everything was clean. The pool was nice with grass to lie on. The bar was close by for some beer and ice-cream.

Disliked The pitch was concrete so you couldn't lie on the ground unless you had padding. It was also windy when we arrived and as we couldn't peg the tent in, we had to put lots of heavy things in the tent to keep it in place.
