Unnamed Road, 23711, Baños de la Encina
Been here?
A flat parking spot about 5 minutes from Baños de la Encina, overlooking the lake with spectacular views. It is quiet after sunset, although cars may arrive during the day and a tourist train has visited. The final section is very bumpy, and reaching the beach requires a 4x4; a footpath provides access for swimming. Litter and cigarette ends have been reported, while earlier reports mention municipal police sanctions for overnight parking.

Absolutely beautiful place! There is so much to discover. The pitch is level and has a perfect view! I would love to live there.Translating
We like the place, but seeing that people do not read the rules about parking and camping: overnight stays are not prohibited in Spain; what is prohibited is wild camping without permits. Therefore, we will not go eat, spend money, and visit the town. They should learn from the rest of Europe in our Spain.Translating
A beautiful place. There were still a few cars until sunset, then it was quiet. Bins are available. The last section is very bumpy but manageable.Translating
Indeed, a great spot, but there was a small surprise when a little tourist train arrived with a group.Translating
Magnificent spot, and above all very peaceful, with a magnificent sunset.Translating
Getting down close to the beach requires a 4x4. The parking area is very good. Magnificent view and complete peace. Swimming is accessible via a small path. Lots of rubbish to pick up. If everyone does their part, it will benefit everyone.Translating
There were several vehicles and the site is very flat. It is a luxury, and we had no problems with the police or guards. Quiet area and very clean, although full of cigarette butts.Translating
It is a spectacular place. You used to be able to spend the night here, but they have opened an area in the town and now issue fines everywhere around it, although I do not know what regulations they rely on.Translating
The comments about this place do not say anything about people being fined for spending the night here. We are very dissatisfied, since we argued pointlessly with the guard and it achieved nothing. It is a shame to trust the comments. A very beautiful place to visit sometime, without a doubt, but what a shame. Sincerely, Maria and Felipe.Translating
Magnificent place; the only drawback is the ticket issued by the municipal police officer. Apparently, the local police officer recommends a fine for having your car parked there. We are very indignant because we did not litter anything; on the contrary, we cleaned the place, since apparently people have parties there on weekends and left all the rubbish. Anyway, we even got a €200 gift.Translating
Fantastic place to stay, with good views and no problems with the Guardia Civil. They told me to notify them so they know if there is any problem, but nobody bothered us there. WARNING: do not try to reach the water; you cannot turn around, and the road has loose stones unless you have a short vehicle. It is not worth it; the beautiful part is up above.Translating
Excellent. Access via the J5042 is recommended. Do not do as we did: we arrived via the motorhome area road, with a dangerous right-angle turn in town. Otherwise, a nice spot. Most locals park their cars by the water along the stony track. There is little room and a risk of damage to our vehicles.Translating
absolutely perfect spot, incredible view and very flat and easy to access, lots of space. would 100% recommend staying at this spot and not carrying on further down to the beach, I saw a lot of cars struggle to get back up the loose shale road and even a van that almost bottomed out on potholes and barely managed to get back up! would be surprised if they didn't do some damage
Magnificent place... peaceful, with this incredible view of the lake.Translating
Excellent place, incredible view and, most importantly, cleaner than before!Translating
Great spot, beautiful view, easily accessible. There were five vans.Translating
A little piece of paradise with an incredible view! Two very peaceful nights. Some daytime traffic, as everyone comes to enjoy the fresh air. However, the dumpster is overflowing! Unfortunately, far too many inconsiderate people come to eat and leave their rubbish on the ground. Shame on them for dirtying such a beautiful place! Accessible to vehicles up to 8.5 meters.Translating
Very nice campsite. We stayed for one night. Some pedestrians and other cars were around until the evening, but the night was very quiet. The next morning, a little tourist train came by.Translating
Absolutely wonderful and quiet place. There are three benches and, unfortunately, currently a very full rubbish container. Please do not drive past the place where the road branches off to the right. At the end there is no turning area for motorhomes and you will never get out again. Getting down to the water is a challenge even with a 4x4. There is another viewpoint above.Translating
Absolutly amazing view and nature. In the afternoon it was really calm. We were there st friday and at night around 1:30am till 3:00 a lot young people came to drink with a lot of noise. Would be a smashing 5 stars if we had a good night of sleep.
Lovely quiet place, unfortunately no view or sunrise because of the dense fog, but it was a great spot!Translating
The place is absolutely beautiful. It is clean and quiet, and there are hiking trails. I enjoyed it a lot, and so did my dogs. Phone coverage comes and goes. The town is very close and is also worth a visit.Translating
Viewpoint with beautiful views over the reservoir and at sunset. The place is a very flat open area practically at the end of the road leading to the reservoir. I saw no sign saying “no parking or driving” either at the beginning of the track or where I parked, as one comment indicates. Super quiet night. Easy access with a large camper. Recommended.
They reported us for putting the vehicle in that place, motor vehicles are not allowed and we didn't know it. awful Ils nous ont dénoncés pour avoir placé le véhicule à cet endroit, les véhicules à moteur ne sont pas autorisés et nous ne le savions pas. affreux
What a view. If you are a large vehicle don’t attempt to drive down to the water. Stay in the car park above and walk down to the swimming area. We did get a group of youths on their motorbikes about midnight (Saturday night). They came close to the van but we didn’t feel too uncomfortable. They left shortly after riding around a bit. The view and swim was worth it.
A place of maximum peace and tranquility, fully recommended for sleeping. I arrived around midnight and there was another camper; we slept without any problems or disturbance. Spectacular views. Thanks for the recommendation.
Very quiet, great view of the lake. I stayed one night. I recommend it.
Not suitable for motorhomes. A little farther back there is a parking area near a viewpoint. It can accommodate two motorhomes.
Great parking area, not difficult to reach, with paved road except for the last gravel ramp. Beautiful view. On Saturday, September 23, there were six vans.
