  • Quiet site among olive trees and with spectacular mountain views
  • A short drive from Ronda and close to three natural parks
  • Pool, miniature golf and bar-restaurant with tapas and homemade cakes
Might you care for lush mountain views on your Spanish holiday? How about pitching up in the province of Malaga, surrounded by three national parks in a setting among olive trees, centenary trees and forests – and a piffling distance from the fab old town of Ronda? Sure you would... so settle down for some significant time at Camping El Sur. El Sur is a peaceful, roomy and family-friendly site, close to the Sierra de Grazalema, Sierra de las Nieves and Los Alcornocales natural parks. Stacks more spectacular sights are within easy driving distance: ask the knowledgeable El Sur reception team for info on the best attractions and scenic car ride routes. Should you care to stick around on site for a spell (you surely should), the modern facilities include miniature golf, ping pong tables and a summer pool scenically set among greenery and flowers. A bar-restaurant serves traditional local food along with tapas and homemade cakes – you might very much care for all these foodie goodies also.

What customers say

This well-run, neat campsite gets kudos for super friendly staff, spacious level pitches, and great facilities like a beautiful pool. It's handy for Ronda. Restaurant's tops, but shop choice and Wi-Fi were sometimes lacking. Pegging was tough, though extra pegs were given. A peaceful, brilliant stay overall.

Electric optional earth touring caravan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Exceptionally clean. Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable of local area
Ground very very hard and they lent us special pegs.
Beautiful pool area with sun beds and umbrellas.
Children's play areas. Giant chess game.
Onsite restaurant was very reasonable prices and served beautiful food.
Quiet nights.
All in all a wonderful place to stay, just wish we could have stayed longer.

Disliked Slight dislike was no infant pool - meaning one of us had to be in water with 18 month old grandson all the time. Wasn't possible for him to play in the water.
Crazy golf could do with a little bit of attention but as it's free and children are allowed to play on their own it's normal it shows signs of wear and tear.

Local attractions

To the mountaintop city of Ronda first, for shops, restaurants, tapas bars and Moorish sites such as the Arab baths, Ronda bullring (one of the oldest in Spain), the Palacio de Mondragón and the gardens – and spectacular views – of Paseo de Blas Infante. Ronda's also famed for its El Tajo gorge, where the Guadalevín river gushes through the city centre: stop off on the 18th-century bridge spanning the gorge for stunning views over the Serranía de Ronda mountains. This beaut part of Andalusia is a land of high peaks, Spanish fir forests and the white villages of the Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos and their buildings dating back to Phoenician and Roman times. The best known of these is probably Setenil de las Bodegas, where houses hang over the Trejo river; other must-sees are Olvera, Grazalema, Algodonales, El Gastor and Zahara de la Sierra, all most picworthy indeed. Caves, caverns, chasms and caving are popular picks too: take a trip to see the 25,000 year old wall paintings of Cueva del Hundidero-Gato and Cueva de la Pileta, making up Andalusia's biggest cave system. The caves are about half an hour's drive away and can be visited in groups of up to 20 – booking in advance is essential, so ask the Camping El Sur reception team to assist. Fishing, horse riding, paragliding, hot air ballooning and greenway cycling trails are all within easy reach.
