Perched high in the Sierra de Cádiz with sweeping views over the whitewashed village of Olvera, this campsite is a dream base for exploring Andalusia’s iconic pueblos blancos. The setting is undeniably spectacular—panoramic mountain vistas greet you from nearly every pitch, and the air is fresh and restorative. Outdoor enthusiasts love the direct access to the Via Verde de la Sierra, a 36-kilometer greenway with tunnels and scenic landscapes that’s perfect for cycling or hiking. The pitches themselves are a highlight: spacious, with options for sun or shade, and many boast that unforgettable view. Families flock here, especially in peak season, when an energetic animation team runs engaging activities for kids and adults alike. The on-site restaurant earns rave reviews for its quality and menu, far exceeding typical campsite fare, though it may close in low season. A small shop stocks bare essentials, but most guests stock up at the excellent supermarket and restaurants in Olvera, just 4 kilometers away. The swimming pool is a welcome feature when open, but it’s often reported as cold, closed, or in need of refurbishment; poolside amenities sometimes feel neglected. Sanitary facilities are a mixed bag: generally sufficient in number but prone to maintenance issues like sticking doors, leaky taps, missing hooks, and erratic shower spray. Cleanliness is inconsistent year to year, with some visitors finding blocks spotless and others noting a lack of soap or dated fixtures. Noise levels vary dramatically—weekdays can be wonderfully quiet, but weekends may bring motorcycle roar or late-night music, despite posted rules. Staff reception is unpredictable; some guests encounter brilliant, friendly service while others face unhelpful or shouting receptionists, and language barriers can arise. Dogs are warmly welcomed, with a pleasant walking path on-site, and children are equally embraced when the animation team is active. Wi-Fi is advertised but weak and unreliable, especially in the evenings. Fly and mosquito nuisances have been noted in warmer months. Access is straightforward if you follow the correct route straight from Olvera rather than relying blindly on GPS. This campsite marries a breathtaking location with spacious pitches and a lively family atmosphere, but its inconsistent facilities and variable service mean it’s best appreciated as a scenic base rather than a resort destination.
