A somewhat aging sanitary area, but very clean. The parking spaces somewhat convey a parking space character. You can only walk along the beach during low tide and over seagrass.

The best campsite I have ever been to!

Laura
I was here in the summer and it was simply magical. From the square, you can see Africa, you are in the middle of nature, and if you climb a bit on the rocks, you get the best view of your life. Huge recommendation!!

For Surfers and Travelers

Klaus
If it's not too crowded, it's a nicely located spot, although there are few shaded areas under pine trees. Located by the road, but this didn't disturb us much at night. Sanitary facilities are okay, although they are getting old, but well-maintained. Very friendly staff at the reception. Small pool, but nicely designed. Ideal for kite/surfers for sure. Nice restaurant/bar - simple and good. 5 km to Tarifa (a taxi was the best choice for us, about 10 €).

Mainzer
Great pitches with a super view all the way to Africa, perfect for surfers, clean toilets. The restaurant by the sea is also very delicious. However, there is no direct beach and cycling is not really ideal, as it runs directly on the road.

Rainer
The parking spaces on the valley side are partly located under pine trees or in the open air, offering something for every taste. Unfortunately, there is no hot water for washing up. The sanitary facilities are clean and spacious.

Very nice place, well maintained and with everything you could wish for. Friendly staff, good and affordable restaurant, shady pitches, clean washrooms, and everything you need in a small but well-stocked shop. My favorite place for 45 years.

Sandra & Emily
Place divided by a street. We stood on the seaside in the 1st row with a nice view towards Africa. Narrow pathways on the square. The pool on the hillside is very small and the supermarket is not worth mentioning. The sea is accessible via a steep staircase. Once you have managed to park your vehicle in your spot, it’s quite nice. But nothing more. However, great for surfers.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite Camping Torre de la Peña I
What makes the location of Camping Torre de la Peña I so special?
The campsite is located directly on the Strait of Gibraltar and offers a grand view all the way to Africa in good weather. The pitches directly on the beach for motorhomes and caravans are particularly popular. For kiters and windsurfers, the campsite is a real highlight thanks to its own surf school and steady wind.
What do the pitches look like and is there enough shade?
The terraced terrain is split into two parts: On the sea side, you stand directly by the water, enjoying a great view but with very little shade and plenty of wind. On the hillside, which you can reach safely via a pedestrian underpass, you stand idyllically under shady pines and deciduous trees – perfect for hot summer days.
What should I know about the layout of the campsite?
The campsite is divided by the coastal road, but don't worry: there is a practical pedestrian tunnel that safely connects both sides. The paths on the campsite can be a bit narrow in some places, and the beautiful sandy beach below the cliff is accessible via a staircase.
