from 42 reviews Write review

Close to the university city of Salamanca, the capital city of the province with the same name, lies Camping Don Quijote. This hospitable campsite is an ideal holiday destination for sampling the Spanish culture and enjoying peace and quiet all year round. You can also sample the culture in the excellent restaurant. Explore the surrounding area by canoe on the Tormes river, or cycle to the historic centre of Salamanca.

Don Quijote shows the way

When you stay at camping Don Quijote, you are in the area of Salamanca, a historic city in the northwest of Spain. The campsite is just under four kilometres east of the centre of Salamanca, on the banks of the Tormes river. There, painted on a wall by the spacious entrance, you will see the man after whom the campsite is named: Don Quixote. He points you in the right direction, through the barriers, to the level, open terrain. And there you are, on one of the spacious touring pitches – especially suitable for motorhomes and caravans because of the hard surface.

On the Tormes

The campsite is right on the banks of the Tormes river, which starts in Prado Tormejón and flows past Salamanca to the Portuguese border. Those who love to fish should certainly take their rods. Note: you must arrange for a permit first.

Spanish local dishes

The restaurant at the campsite is widely known among the residents of the immediate vicinity. Many locals arrive in the evening to enjoy the ambiance and the local dishes. Paella is on the menu, of course, but meat dishes from the region are served as well.

Nice site next to a river 3 miles from Salamanca, easy access from auto visa. Staff very friendly & helpful, and made calls for us to sort a problem. Pitches of mixed size, some under trees which get muddy when it rains but dried quite quickly. Larger pitches are open & well drained. Can’t comment on the facilities block as we didn’t use it & it was too cool to use the pool. Restaurant very good & well priced (cheaper than England!) Wi-Fi patchy but OK with a booster. Lovely walk by the river, 40 mins along the greenway into Salamanca or much less by bike, or walk as far as you like in the other direction.

Nice overnight stay on the way North to Santander. The weather was very wet but most of the site was well-drained. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good access to Salamanca by bicycle even if we got wet! Would certainly use again

This site is lovely, small pitches but easy enough to get into for our 7m motor home. The staff were very friendly and helpful with local area information and details about the restaurant which we did not visit. Getting into the lovely town was easy on bikes along a good cycle route.

Definitely one of the best sites we have stayed on. Good sized pitches and easy access. The food was really good and value for money. I have to say the staff on this site are amazing so helpful and always smiling and would love to give a higher rating if it was possible.

Brilliant campsite, great VFM. WiFi was initially a struggle to get on but worked from our van well. Great access to Salamanca and a beautiful walking path along the river which goes on for miles. Fantastic on site restaurant which is frequented more by the locals so booking is essential. Tip - if you don\'t want to be continually cleaning, pick a spot under fewer trees

Swimming pool was closed site facilities was good. Nice large pitches great cycling to Salamanca but be aware of the route from the site…. read your map that your given on entry otherwise you will ride on the main road which is not good and you’ll end in the wrong part of the city. The cathedral is fantastic so beautiful well worth the visit. The food on the site is good and reasonable priced. I would like to return one day because as it has everything..pity the pool wasn’t open.

Super campsite. Great restaurant. Friendly very helpful staff. Quite a long walk/cycle to a supermarket. Taxi into Salamanca 30 euros return.

Great little campsite on the outskirts of Salamanca. This is the third tone this year we\'ve used it on our journey south / north.
Makes a great break for a couple of days.
I\'d you eat in the restaurant then go for the paella, you won\'t be disappointed.
We will return for a couple of days on our way north in October.
