  • Pitches next to the Arcos de la Frontera reservoir, with a lake beach
  • Walk to Arcos de la Frontera in 45 minutes; Cádiz 45 minutes' drive
  • Swimming pool and restaurant on site; watersports and fishing close by
Here’s a sweet spot for holidays spent exploring the Sierra de Cadiz – Camping Lago de Arcos is next to the Arcos de la Frontera reservoir, surrounded by lush vegetation and with scenic views across the lake and up to the pretty hilltop town of Arcos de la Frontera. Being close to the banks of the lake means that you’ll be in prime position for various water-based activities including fishing, canoeing and swims from the lake beach. There are lots of trails in the surrounding area and in the nearby Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park too, so there should be plenty of choice for hikers and wildlife spotters. If your tastes tend more towards wandering through little villages and seeking out nice places to eat, you too will be in a good position here – it will take you about five minutes to drive up to Arcos de la Frontera, or you can walk up in about 45 minutes to spend the day exploring the maze of narrow streets. Several more of Andalusia’s ‘pueblos blancos’ can easily be visited from here, as can bigger towns and cities like Cádiz or Jerez de la Frontera, or the beaches of the Costa de la Luz. So, a great spot for getting out and about – but also a great spot for spending some relaxing time on site, taking dips in the swimming pool, grabbing drinks from the bar and taking your pick of local and international dishes at the restaurant. There’s also a playground where the kids can play safely while you chill out. Handy facilities on site include a launderette, a wifi service, a food shop and bathroom block.

What customers say

Great spot by the lake, friendly staff, clean facilities, spacious sites, and a decent pool/restaurant. Bit noisy from neighbours/other campers on weekends, and some facilities could be cleaner with drainage woes. Access is tight for caravans.

Inma R.

Power optional grass and earth tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked Esta cerca de todo lo necesario para estancia cómoda
El personal muy amable

Disliked El supermercado muy cutre
El servicio de restaurante , deja que desear no por la comida si no por falta de personal
La piscina tumbonas perpetuamente ocupadas ,no hay socorrista, y sin sitio decente para tomar el sol
Los baños con desperfectos y no muy limpios
Creo que el gran problema es la falta y poca profesionalidad del personal

Power optional grass and earth tent, caravan or trailer tent site

Liked Water in shower was hot

Disliked Toilets weren't cleaned and lacked toilet roll. A dog next to the camp site barked all night, every night. The road next to camp site so noisy at night.
It's alot further to the lake beach than advertised. Not even on the lake. In fact a 20 minute walk.
Restaurant was bad service, food was nice though.

Power optional grass and earth motorhome site

Liked No tuve la ocasión de percibir nada diferenciable

Disliked Fuimos buscando tranquilidad en el puente de diciembre y nos encontramos con un festival entre karaoke, guitarreo, polvoroná, zambombá durante TODO el día hasta las tantas de la noche. Nadie de administración fue a poner orden, que es lo más grave. Ya que administración no puede saber cómo son sus arrendatarios, pero SI PUEDEN hacer respetar las normas. Por otra parte, que bien están los papás y mamás disfrutando mientras sus hijos e hijas están dando lata al resto de parcelas ¿verdad? ah, y también perros sueltos, vaya un despropósito....Si está todo permitido DEBERÍAN ADVERTIRLO para que las personas que buscamos tranquilidad en un entorno natural no nos encontremos con sorpresas de este tipo. Cuando amaneció (habiendo aguantado borrachos hasta la madrugada) recogimos y nos marchamos, por supuesto. Estamos seguros que los que se quedaron pasaron un gran puente festivo, porque fiesta había de sobra.

Local attractions

Arcos de la Frontera (five minutes’ drive/45 minutes’ walk) should be your first port of call – there are several traditional churches to poke your head into, and some lovely tapas bars hidden away in the narrow streets, along with a viewpoint that gives glorious views out over the valley below. You may like to continue your tour of the ‘pueblos blancos’ with trips to Ubrique (half an hour), Zahara de la Sierra (40 minutes) and Grazalema (45 minutes) – or set off to the sherry bodegas and the magnificent Alcazar in Jerez de la Frontera (half an hour), a town that also has a strong flamenco tradition. The city of Cádiz (45 minutes) is another good option for a day out, to visit its cathedral, wander through its medieval centre and climb the Tavira Tower for some great views. The central market is the place for lunch, perhaps followed by some time on the sandy beach.
