  • 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.

Clean, neat site, good restaurant, friendly staff. Guests love the pool and spacious, shady spots. Great for families, loads for kids. Mostly quiet, but some noise reported. WiFi sometimes iffy.

Electric optional gravel pitch

Liked Camping fantástico en un entorno natural, piscina muy bonita con una animación excepcional. Todo el personal (recepción, limpieza, mantenimiento y hostelería) súper implicados y muy amables. Un ambiente muy familiar en el que hemos estado muy agusto. Mi más sincera enhorabuena a Rafa, Pili y Gabriela, los animadores por su trabajo.

Disliked Como sugerencia de mejora, creo que sería necesario revisar la gestión de las hamacas de la piscina. Durante los 10 días de nuestra estancia, únicamente conseguimos encontrar hamacas libres en una ocasión, por lo que resulta bastante complicado disfrutar de la piscina con comodidad. Además, hay muy pocas zonas de sombra, algo especialmente importante cuando se va con niños pequeños y un bebé.
El día que conseguimos coger hamacas, además, tuvimos varios inconvenientes con el socorrista, que estaba continuamente pendiente de si estábamos o no en ellas. Al irnos unos minutos con los niños a la animación o a otra zona de la piscina, pretendía retirar nuestras toallas porque consideraba que no las estábamos utilizando, aunque simplemente nos habíamos ausentado momentáneamente y volvíamos a ellas. Entendemos que haya unas normas para evitar reservar hamacas durante horas, pero creemos que debería existir algo más de flexibilidad en estos casos, especialmente cuando se trata de familias con niños pequeños.

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…
