  • Family-run site 10 minutes from Malpartida de Plasencia
  • In a biosphere reserve and 20 minutes from the Monfragüe National Park
  • Two open-air pools, sports areas and kids' activities in summer
It’s been many moons since the Barrado family took the helm at Camping Parque Natural del Monfragüe – more than 20 years’ worth of them, in fact. With that in mind, it’s a fine idea to budget as much time as possible for a stay here: clearly this excellent Extremadura spot is the kind of place that makes folks want to settle in for some time. And why not? This is a site with a lot going for it on the location front – it’s surrounded by a biosphere reserve, with the rural trails, scenic drives and outdoorsy activities of the Monfragüe National Park 20 minutes to the south, and medieval Plasencia 15 minutes to the north for city days. Supermarkets, cafés and restaurants are in Malpartida de Plasencia, 10 minutes away by car; if you haven’t got wheels it’s a 20-minute amble from train station to site. It helps, too, that the family have put a lot of thought into refining their place since they first moved here way back in 1998 – there are now two pools to splash in or sunbathe by, along with a tennis court, sports area and playground. Kids’ activities run through the summer, and there’s a social room with board games, a library and a fire to cosy up by when it gets chilly. Spacious pitches all have electrical connections to keep all your kit whirring, and the site’s got all the essentials covered for a comfy stay: a launderette, small supermarket, a bar and cafeteria (which are closed every Wednesday) and showers where hot water flows 24 hours a day.

What customers say

Great location for Monfragüe National Park, with friendly staff. Clean facilities, pool, and restaurant are highlights. Some noted the need for pitch tidying and limited WiFi/shop options.

Kathryn J.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass campsite

Liked Olga on reception was lovely and friendly and very helpful with information on surrounding area.
Toilet and shower block nice and clean. Decent meal in restaurant, although we were the only couple in there. Carlos the waiter was friendly.
Nice swimming pool, although we were told to take our glasses off to go in.

Disliked The actual site looked like an open derelict patch of land, that has been abandoned, neglected and in a state of disrepair. There were about a dozen old touring caravans on the site, which were lived in and had obviously been pitched there for years. They looked so run down, we first thought they had been dumped and abandoned. The rest of the site was empty apart from us and 2 others motorhomes. The ground was no way suitable for parking, due to the uneven levels, pot holes and rough ground. There was old plant machinery left on the site making it look more like an abandoned building site. This site needs a lot of time and money spent on it for it to work, and remove all the old derelict looking caravans. We booked for 3 nights but left after one night.

Liked Location location location! Great restuaurant, (not open Wednesdays) small shop with limited options but had what we needed, friendly staff with good english when we couldn't manage Spanish and a nice swimming pool. Washrooms were exemplary. There were fine bike rides to be had, and of course the wildlife centre next door is a gem. Vulture watching is a must.

Local attractions

Make a beeline for the Monfragüe National Park if you’re after alfresco times – get your boots on and take to the hiking trails, or sign up for guided tours in Malpartida de Plasencia. Horse riding days, off-road drives and guided hikes are all popular picks, as are photo-snapping safaris and specialist birdwatching tours (vultures, imperial eagles and black storks are all out there to be spotted). Up for a bit of urban activity instead? Medieval Plasencia, 15 minutes away, is well worth a wander: a fair chunk of the original walls (built back in 1198) still stand strong, and there’s much to visit within those walls. The pretty Palace of Mirabel, Convent of San Vincente Ferrer and two cathedrals, built right next to each other, are some of the top sights. If you’re after more town times, try UNESCO-listed Cáceres (50 minutes’ drive) for another eye-opening Old Town; for more rural rambles, it’s about the same length of drive to the Jerte Valley and gorgeous natural sights like the Nogaledas waterfalls.
