  • Dog-friendly site nine kilometres from the centre of Cartagena
  • A 25-minute drive to Teatro Romano and the Concepción Castle Museum
  • Wooded picnic area and vending machines; restaurants and shops nearby
Whether it’s having peaceful picnics on site, mapping out the way to golden-sand beaches or exploring the walled city of Cartagena, you’ll be ready for all sorts of adventures from Area Camper Caravanas Home. This well-equipped, dog-friendly site is in a great location, just nine kilometres from the centre of Cartagena and half an hour’s drive from the coast. While chilling in a city café is just as lovely, historic Cartagena is full of opportunities for sightseeing too. Top sights include the Roman theatre, town hall, the Isaac Peral submarine, the handsome Roman Forum Quarter, the Concepción Castle Museum, Fuerte de Navidad, modernist buildings and many more museums, fortresses and places of historical heritage. With Roman, Carthaginian and Holy Week festivities throughout the year, it’s a lively place to be with many opportunities for dining, drinking and shopping when you're not busy touring the sights. Back at base, well-equipped facilities include drinking water, laundry facilities, showers, 24-hour security, wastewater drainage for grey and black waters, WiFi, a children’s area and a tourist information point, as well as motorhome rental and sales. Feeling peckish? Handily, there are restaurants, a supermarket, gas station and other amenities within five minutes’ drive of the site. Pick up supplies for the wooded picnic area on site or make use of the bread delivery service on site and the meeting room with vending machines for coffee and soft drinks, just the thing after a long day out.

Electric optional hardstanding pitch

Liked: Liked the staff and welcome even though communication was stilted because of language difficulty
Facilities were clean
Kitchen was available to dine if needed
Bus every half hour into the city about 700 metres walk away

Disliked: On first appearance it looked as if the campsite was out in the middle of the desert. As we got to know the surrounding area we got more comfortable with where it was. No bar facilities available

Electric optional hardstanding pitch

Liked: Clean and quiet, not much in the area, buses easily accessible to Cartagena and small village about 2km (we biked it)
Showers, toilets, washer and dryer..
Small canteen area with coffee vending and microwave.. good WiFi.. we had to do a major window repair and the owner had a workshop and offered us tools if we needed (but we had what we needed) Good place to refresh and clean up ..

Disliked: It’s not a dislike but personally we prefer to be closer to amenities, we solely went to repair and refresh so perfect!

Electric optional hardstanding pitch

Liked: This site was chosen fir its proximity to Cartagena. It has the look of an ex truck business, but it has the basis of a very nice stopover for a motorhome. The facilities currently could not cope if full, but as in all investments it needs to grow with the custom. The pitches might be a little closer than ideal, so do not expect to have an awning. It was about a third full.
There is a bus stop 15 minute walk away which is a terminus and takes you to the city, which is historic and well worth a visit.
So would I recommend? Yes.

Disliked: Spaces a bit closer than I would've liked.

Local attractions

Whether you’re searching for beaches, the city or somewhere with great hikes and historical sites, you’ll be well-based at Area Camper Caravanas Home. For historical places, visit the Ethnographic Museum Santa Barbara Ports (five minutes’ drive), the abandoned mines at Minas de mazarrón (25 minutes) or the medieval-inspired fortress at C-1 Batería de Castillitos (40 minutes). There are no shortages of beaches a short journey from the site, either, so beach gear and hiking shoes are another essential item for your packing list. Some stunning beaches within driving distance of the site include Cala Leño (45 minutes), Playa del Gorguel (35 minutes) or Playa de Fatares (half an hour), a top place for coastal hikes and wildlife spotting with a sandy shore as a reward. Those of you with kids in your group will also be happy to find that the site is close to the Laberinto del parque de Tentegorra (10 minutes), the largest vegetable maze in Spain, and one place where it’s okay to get lost for a while.
