  • 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.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

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.

Liked: Their were many good things on and around this site which I may forget over time. But I will never forget the persistent barking of the dog,day and night, on the premises adjacent.

Disliked: See above.

Bill P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Large level pitches with some shade from trees. Friendly staff. The site had a nice feel, maybe because it was quiet when we were there and all the glamping tents were empty. The lake nearby is lovely but not as close as I had thought from the website.

Disliked: The facilities were adequate for the small number of campers in October, but not exactly sparkling clean. One of the 4 ladies' loos had no door, the small shower cubicles have little privacy and no-where to hang up your things, and the washing up area had no hot water and no light (glad I had a head torch!) There was quite a lot of road noise. It would be a long walk into the town of Arcos, we drove.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: De ligging van de camping, langs geen drukke weg.
Dicht bij het meer met een strandje.

Disliked: Het was veel te druk, veel te veel volwassenen en kinderen. Met gevolg van : zwembad overbevolkt, douches, toiletten vies.
Afwassen met koud water !!
Op de camperplaats niks van privé.
Iedereen plaatst zich zou maar.
Maar het ergste was het lawaai s’avonds. Huilende, roepende kinderen net een crèche. Luid pratende volwassen, muziek maken om 24 uur,…
Geen respect voor medekampeerders.

Electric optional grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: De ligging. Het zicht op het dorp is heel mooi.

Disliked: De netheid van het sanitair. Geen warm water om af te wassen. Niet echt geschikt om te kamperen, focust zich op glamping, maar het oogt vooral mooi maar hygiëne kan beter. Ook heel druk vooral door kleine kinderen die na 22u nog steeds vaak kabaal maken.

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.
