Camper Área Cabo de Gata

Set in an exceptional location within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, the Camper Área Cabo de Gata offers a rare combination of wild natural beauty and essential, modern motorhome services. The site lies directly on the AL-3115 at km 10, in Pujaire.

This camper area accommodates up to 60 pitches. The surface is gravel, suitable for motorhomes, caravans, and campervans. Pitches are bounded by natural hedges, giving you a little privacy in a rugged, sun-drenched environment. Each pitch is equipped with electric hookup, though visitors should bring a suitable cable (at least 2 m).

Facilities are solid and well-maintained: you’ll find hot-water showers, toilets, a launderette (washing machines and dryers), and a grey and black water disposal service point. The area is monitored — there is video surveillance — ensuring safety for your stay.

For relaxation, there’s a chill-out lounge area, and a cafeteria-bar / restaurant where you can order fresh bread and pastries for the next day. Free Wi-Fi covers the area, so you can stay connected even while being immersed in nature. The site is open year-round, making it a reliable base no matter when you travel.

Pets are welcome, though some restrictions apply: on Pitchup the site states dogs up to 50 kg are permitted, and certain breeds are excluded. There’s also a dog run / pipi-can area.

If you’re traveling with a motorhome or campervan and want access to unspoilt nature, wildlife, and scenic beaches, this camper area is hard to beat. With full services, year-round access, and a prime spot in a pristine natural park, it’s the perfect base for an unforgettable Andalusian adventure.

Your camper pitch places you in the heart of one of Spain’s most striking landscapes: the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve. The area is blessed with dramatic cliffs, salt flats, and untouched beaches, perfect for nature-lovers, birdwatchers, and anyone craving quiet coastal beauty.

Just a short walk (or a few minutes by bike) brings you to Playa del Charco, a hidden beach beloved for its calm and natural charm. Close by, birdwatchers will delight in the wetlands and observatories where you can spot flamingos, storks, and migrating species throughout the year.

Cultural attractions are also within reach: drive to Rodalquilar, Las Negras, San José, or Isleta del Moro — all picturesque villages with rich histories, colorful houses, and access to hiking paths and boat tours. For something truly special, explore the salt lakes around Cabo de Gata at sunset, when the light highlights the pink hues of the water.

If you’re into water activities, the region offers kayaking and boat trips, plus diving opportunities to explore seabeds and reefs. There are also bicycle routes winding through the park’s volcanic terrain, perfect for active travelers.

For dining and refreshment, you don’t need to go far: nearby villages have bars, tapas restaurants, and small shops where you can sample local Andalusian cuisine, fresh seafood, and wines.
