US
Our campsite is located on a sheltered quiet place by the sea, on the beach itself. It is one of the nicest beaches by the Mediteranean sea: a cove named “La Garrofa”, just 4 Km far from Almería city.
Its location makes the campsite a perfect place to enjoy the natural areas of Almería province: Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park , Tabernas Desert, Sierra Nevada. Also the charming white villages are just a few miles away. Moreover indeed the city of Almería, just a 5 minutes drive, will welcome you with its magnificent andalusi heritage: Alcazaba and the Arab cisterns.
The campsite, shaded by a centenarian eucalyptus grove, is divided into plots. All of them are connected to electricity supply (6 amp-10amp). We offer three blocks of modern and restructured sanitary facilities (washbasin, toilets, sinks and showers) with permanent cleaning and free hot water.
