- Former tropical garden turned into a family-friendly campsite
- A short walk from the beach; centre of Estepona 10 minutes' drive
- Bar and restaurant; dogs and barbecues (gas or electric) welcome
Would you like to know why Camping Parque Tropical on the Andalusian coast is named this way? Well, it's because it's set on a very particular site, a former tropical garden centre blazing with exotic plants and flowers, that's why.
And would you like to know another extremely positive feature about this welcoming Málaga park? Barbecues (gas or electric) are positively encouraged. Another? It has an excellent location at the foot of the Sierra Bermeja, a short walk away from the nearest sandy beach. Come here for a slow pace, plenty of beach time and lots to do in the locale: it's a 10-minute drive from the centre of the seaside resort of Estepona and 25 minutes from Marbella.
On site, you should be pleased with all amenities, as there's a covered swimming pool open during high season (it's now a good moment to take a look at the site pics), wifi and a bar and restaurant. The modern facilities include a mini market and shower/loo blocks powered by solar energy. Dogs are very welcome to join you on holiday here.

Local attractions
How much would you like to go and see some jolly and bouncing dolphins? The marine mammals, penguinarium, birds, snakes and guided tours of the Selwo Aventura Dolphinarium are only a kilometre from Camping Parque Tropical.
Paintball, golf, diving and tennis are all within an hour, as well as Gibraltar and its Barbary Macaques colony on Gibraltar Rock, the only wild apes in all of Europe.
Marbella and Málaga are also within an hour's drive: do to the former to spot celebrities, party, walk the ancient city walls and wander around the Old Town and Orange Square; at the ancient and latter town, go visit the Museo Picasso Málaga, Roman Theatre and have a walk along the Paseo del Parque.
Within the same distance, try day trips to the mountaintop city of Ronda and to Puerto Banús, the very swish (and enviable) marina on the southwest of Marbella.
