  • Peaceful site in Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park
  • Castaño del Robledo 10 minutes’ drive and Aracena Castle 20 minutes
  • Outdoor pool, kitchen and local inn on site
Embedded deep in the rugged landscapes of the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park, and with many kilometres of trails in its surroundings, Eco Camping El Madroñal is fabulously peaceful site that makes a great starting point for all sort of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, mountain biking and Nordic walking. Set in a forest of centuries-old chestnut trees, this remote rural enclave stretches over 84,000 square metres, and the owners have received awards for their commitment to the preservation of the environment. And it's not just the environment that's well looked after here – guests are treated equally well, with access to an outdoor pool, a kitchen, picnic tables and an inn-restaurant that serves breakfasts and snacks throughout the year, plus full meals of local dishes in high season. And you'll need to be well fed here, because the site is surrounded by hilly trails leading out into the mountains or up to the nearest villages. Fuenteheridos (20 minutes’ walk) is a pretty mountain hamlet with whitewashed cottages and a generous sprinkling of bars and restaurants, while Castaño del Robledo (an hour’s walk or 10 minutes’ drive) is known for its spectacularly decorative 16th-century architecture. Local visitor guides with suggested walking and cycling routes, as well as popular places to visit, are available on site.

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Nice site with excellent staff. Maybe better in summer, when busier.

David P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric forest floor pitch (premium)

Liked: Rural site which was very quiet, lovely walk into the local town which is very pretty with a few bars and restaurants.
Check in was easy and the lady on reception was very helpful and friendly. We had a very peaceful couple of nights.

Disliked: Only 1 toilet block available for the whole site (maybe due to time of stay) this block had only 3 toilets and 3 showers which are shared by both male and female. The toilet was very clean.
The site did look a bit untidy, again maybe due to low season and being quiet.

From the manager: Thank you, David, for your review! 😊 We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the warm welcome from our reception team🌿🏕️ As for the facilities, during quieter seasons, we may limit some areas, but we appreciate your feedback and will consider it for future improvements. The natural setting can sometimes feel a bit untamed in the low season, but we hope you'll visit again when everything is in full bloom! 🌸✨

Local attractions

This is a brilliant area for outdoor activities, so bring your boots or bikes along to make the most of the trails just around the site and in more far-flung areas like the Sierra Pelada y Ribera del Aserrador (an hour’s drive). For a gentler time, head to Embalse de Aracena reservoir (half an hour) for shoreline strolls and days of fishing. Many of the local villages are well worth exploring too – start with a wander around Fuenteheridos (20 minutes’ walk) and then plan outings to Castaño del Robledo (10 minutes' drive) and the 'white village’ of Linares de la Sierra (20 minutes). Aracena (20 minutes) is another good option, with a castle, an outdoor art museum and the huge Gruta de las Maravillas to visit. Fancy a change of scenery? Urban life is not far away – you can get to Seville or the coastal city of Huelva with a drive of less than an hour and a half.
