  • Scenic site high up in the Alpujarras mountain range
  • A short walk from Trevélez, one of the highest villages in Spain
  • Facilities include a bar with a scenic terrace, a shop and a play area
High, high in the mountains… Camping Trevélez is in the Alpujarras region at an elevated position of 1,500 metres up in the Las Alpujarras mountain range. It's in Sierra Nevada Natural Park, a scenic landscape of hiking paths, forests and green river valleys – so as you might figure, the views here are pretty stunning. And if you want a traditional Andalusian village within easy reach too? Trevélez is a five-minute walk from the site. This scenic village is one of the highest in Spain – bring the camera – and has restaurants and a museum about the famed Trevélez ham (a must-try in the restaurants). For a crisp drink with a view, the site has a bar with a terrace overlooking the surrounding mountains, serving breakfast, pizza and bread. There is also an on-site grocery shop selling local produce and a swimming pool that is open in summer when the weather permits. Kids can let off steam in the playground or challenge the adults to a table tennis match.

Electric optional mixed tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: I booked my site at Treveléz from the highway between Spain and Portugal (where I live) as I realized that it was more than 2 hours to get to the camp site and I would be arriving late.
The road took me over the Sierra Nevada mountains past a ski slope and kids throwing snow balls then down a long, narrow and winding road through a valley and then back up to the town of Treveléz - reputed to be the highest town in Spain - through numerous other villages perched on the side of the mountain.
Eventually I arrived at the camp site and was greeted by a very friendly french guy who is the manager of the site. The camp site is on a steep hill with various levels. I eventually chose the top level (5) which had the best views and the best camping sites - although a fair distance from the facilites. Of course, visiting a camp site in winter surrounded by snow capped mountains meant cold weather and it was already late. Prior to my arrival, I had (with some difficulty!) found some suitable food in the town which I then settled down to cook (sadly no braais allowed as it’s in a national park) with a well-earned beer.
After a cold night, the sun was a welcome addition the next morning and after breakfast, I set off for a walk. The walk from the camp site is 2km and then you follow the signs to the high point and view of the town which provides a great view of the surroundings. Next, I looked for a short hike and finally settled for the start of the most famous walk which is called the 'Seite Lagunas' which means 7 lagoons or lakes. I walked uphill for an hour and suitably exhausted enjoyed that stunning views of the town and the Treveléz river valley. The full walk is 17km there and back and you go uphill for 1500m! I would need a full day for that.
I had planned to walk to the river from the town after that but that, too would have been a lot of up and down that there was still the 2km back to camp. Returned and enjoyed the views over a beer for a while before making some food and settling in for the night.
Next day was equally beautiful, but I had to head the 700km back to the Algarve.
Easier said than done. After packing up and ready to go, turning the car key revealed what we all dread - no power. I took the trek down to the office to see what my options were. No local mechanic - nearest was in a town many Kms away. This is were true service shows itself! The manager came up to the camp site with his jumper cables and we tried for a while to start the car. He then went back down and returned with an extention cable and turned on the closest power point so that I could hook up my charger. 45 minutes was enough to get the car started so I am eternally thankful for his excellent service. People like this aren't easy to find.

Electric optional mixed tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Todos los establecimiento están muy limpios, no muy nuevos, pero funcionan perfectamente. Las duchas son bastantes y con agua bien caliente.
La piscina es bastante grande, limpia, con el agua fresca y salada.
La parcela es suficientemente grande para 2 tiendas, zona de comedor y un coche.
La chica de recepción es muy amable y atenta. Y el sitio es espectacular 😁 en la altura de 1500 con las vistas al valle y el pueblo Trevélez.
El pueblo está a 1 km del camping y se puede llegar andando por la carretera o al lado de la acequia.

Disliked: Nos ha gustado todo)

Electric optional mixed tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Friendly check in service, all amenities explained, the site has terraces offering a good amount of shade & grass pitches for tents. Toilets/shower block easily accessed & nearby, clean with plenty of hot water. The site offers some food options and has a good swimming pool. Trevelez is a 10 minute walk away. The site was very quiet, however it was mid September.

Disliked: Nothing, would recommend and stay again.

Local attractions

Camping Trevélez's local village – and its surroundings – are excellent: this is one of the highest areas in Spain and well regarded by mountaineers as a starting point for ascending the peaks of Mulhacén (3482m), Veleta (3398m) and Alcazaba (3366m). Paragliding is another popular option in the area, but if the thought makes you dizzy, you can stay on land for other outdoor activities like cycling, hiking, trout fishing and mountain biking around the campsite and in the national park. Elsewhere in the natural park, the Sierra Nevada Ski Station has the highest peak in southern Spain and is the most southerly ski resort in Europe for downhill days, or you could have a more placid time wildlife watching wherever you fancy among the park's Spanish ibex, wild boar, birds of prey, pine martens, wildcats and badgers.
