Camping Los Escullos lies approx. 1 km from the sea in the Cabo de Gata nature area. In winter you can camp nicely in the sun and in summer shade will be created. The campsite is spacious and has many facilities, such as a swimming pool, fitness area and a restaurant. The campsite is beautifully located between mountain formations and volcanic rock, in a very dry and desert-like region with a large diversity of flora and fauna and unique salt lakes.

The camping is located between the towns of Rodalquilar and San Jose at half an hour's drive from Almería. In the area you can still find artefacts of ancient civilisations and in the -at times more than 1000-year old- villages, some of the traditional trades are still being practised.

Sun in winter, shade in summer

Because the temperature in this area of Spain is pleasant throughout the year, you will find many hibernators on Camping Los Escullos. The campsites are laid out in such a way that they are in the sun in winter while in summer shade is provided in the form of shade cloth. The pitches are separated by hedges and trees and all have electricity.

Loungers under the palm trees

Camping Los Escullos has a swimming pool with a separate children's pool and jacuzzi. The swimming pool is surrounded by loungers and in peak season there are Balinese daybeds, which you can reserve. The large outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi are open during high season. Check with the reception for times outside the high season.

Travelling party: Couple

Booked for 6 nights but only stayed 1 ! The 'pitch' we were given was squeezed in beside the main access road with just a 1m space between van and chain link perimeter fence. The place was full so there was no alternative, so we left.
OK, it was a last minute booking but I would rather be told there was no room than be offered less than the average aire or camping car-park !
Some staff were plainly embarrassed about the pitch (it's not the only tiny one) but we still had to argue for a refund.

Liked - We stayed for a week over Xmas. The staff in every department were excellent and fun to talk to, even down to the cleaning ladies. The Restaurant service and food was outstanding, nothing was too difficult for the Staff. The shop was well stocked with all the essentials and daily fresh bread and croissants.
Both sets of toilet amenities were were clean and functional.
Disliked - None, except it would have been great had the restaurant been open on Christmas day.

Travelling party: Young couple

Liked - Facilities were spotless. Nice restaurant that has occasional live music. Absolutely loved the location.
It was easily the quietest camping site so far on our 3 months journey.
Disliked - I was disappointed that they wouldn't let me put a washing line up on my neighbouring plot even though there were 8 empty plots, our plot didn't have sufficient room. My husband felt that the grey water waste was too far from the site, especially as he is disabled.
