Pros
Beautiful natural setting , plenty of shade. Good facilities, friendly helpful reception. Despite the lasting good weather, the pool had closed on 10 September. Pitch/rental accommodation: Lovely wooded area
Cons
Cleanliness of the dish washing up area. There was a blocked sink for the duration of our stay which tells me the area wasn’t checked daily. (No harm done there were plenty of others). Facilities a bit dated but ‘rural’ and functional well. Pitch/rental accommodation: Demarcation of the pitches could be a bit clearer. Not that it mattered as we were only a few campers there.

Pros
there was no welcome at our arrival at the times indicated on the site. Two hours of waiting in front of their office. Cleaning was not done, the toilets and WC were very disgusting. I do not recommend this campsite. Location/Rental Accommodation: I was very rushed to finish my stay because the cabin was very unsanitary.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping El Balcón de Pitres
What is the terrain like at Camping El Balcón de Pitres and how are the pitches laid out?
The campsite is beautifully terraced in the Alpujarras mountains of the Sierra Nevada. You will stay on shaded pitches under dense trees and enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding mountain landscape. At night, the high altitude offers an absolutely spectacular starry sky.
Is there a pool and what leisure activities are available directly on site?
Yes, the campsite has a lovely outdoor pool to cool off on hot days. However, the biggest attraction is nature: a footpath starts directly behind the campsite, leading you straight to the surrounding hiking trails of the Sierra Nevada. Climbing and mountain running are also great options here.
What should I know about the facilities and the mountain climate?
Since the campsite is high in the mountains, it can get quite chilly at night – so pack warm clothes. A real insider tip: the hot water is generated in a future-oriented way via a solar system. If the sun isn't shining, it might be a bit cooler. On the plus side, using the washing machine is free of charge for you.
