Been here?
This is a beautiful wild spot beside clear water, with easy access, open parking and a few picnic tables. It is quiet and scenic, with opportunities for walking, cycling and enjoying the lakeside surroundings. There are no refueling or emptying services, while a summer kiosk offering drinks and canoe or pedal-boat hire is located farther along.

Perfect place, we had a wonderful stay. There was no rubbish. A little farther on, in summer, there is a kiosk with drinks and canoe/pedal-boat rental.Translating
Very beautiful and quiet place. The shame is that it is full of rubbish. I decided to take a garbage bag and collect as much as I could. I encourage others to do the same so we can keep the place cleaner; together we can.Translating
Amazing views right out by the fresh and clear water. Not much around, just beautiful views and quiet. Highly recommend! Very easy to get to and park.
Lovely place. quite a gem. treat it with utmost care and definitely don't leave trash around and use your personal toilet. otherwise this place might soon be gone for us
After years of staying here, two municipal officials came today and sent everyone away. The only spot is a little farther toward the campsite, surrounded by trees and also marked. At least we had a good stay for the last few days and enjoyed the area.Translating
Great place! Beautiful scenery and close to Granada. Many other campers, so you are not alone, but there is space. Frogs, birds, and dogs are very noisy at night since it is in the middle of nature…Translating
Clean and perfectly quiet place, ideal for an overnight stay and for starting a hike or mountain-bike ride.Translating
10/10 View and a lot of Space to Park your van
Perfect, very beautiful place. We parked a little farther away near the next parking area, which was accessible even for a heavy vehicle (19 tons).Translating
Very beautiful, clean place. We stayed here for one night. There are even seats.Translating
Beautiful! We stayed here for several nights in October and enjoyed it very much!Translating
A wide choice of spaces: flat areas above the lake, shaded or sunny, or by the water on a slight slope if you choose the right sections. Very quiet.Translating
Magnificent place, very easy to access and quiet. However, we encountered a man who watched us through binoculars for a good two hours, in a small gray Ford. We preferred to spend the night near the other vans rather than by the beach. Be careful!Translating
Beautiful and peaceful place. We spent a wonderful night! Nobody came by and we were alone the whole time. A lovely place to sleep and wake up surrounded by nature. Highly recommended. We parked next to the kiosk, where the trees provided shade.Translating
Quiet night, clean spot, and very friendly vanlifers around, with no amenities.Translating
Quiet place with a beautiful view of the lake. The internet is very weak and often drops out completely. There are almost no level areas. On the other hand, there is a lovely shaded picnic area.Translating
I'm not the bravest driver, so didn't dare to enter with the heavy rainfall. Slept next to the road but this was not the best experience (on a Friday night). Did a quick round around the lake in the morning (beautiful indeed) and then went on to easer accessible places :-)
Excellent, quiet, and with a lovely view.Translating
Great place! Lots of space for all the vans and beautiful views everywhere.Translating
Too steep here, so I went a little farther… but indeed, it is a great place. I will probably spend a few days here.Translating
Great spot! A lot of spaces and many campers.
We spent two very peaceful nights. It is somewhat uneven, but a stone or, if necessary, leveling blocks solve the problem.Translating
Very beautiful view; it is quiet and relaxing.Translating
Superb spot with a magnificent view. The locals do not object to campers being here. There are wild cats that will gladly accept something to eat. There is a container 50 meters away, so please collect your rubbish and use the facilities provided for this purpose!Translating
A beautiful postcard scene! Perfect for a one-night stopover!Translating
We spent the night here and it is quite peaceful. It has a good panoramic view of the lake, and when we woke up we had wonderful shade from all the trees. The only downside is that at the beginning of the night some dogs, presumably from the nearby houses or farmsteads, started barking. I saw in other comments that this is common, so if you go to bed early, wear earphones. Otherwise, it was fine.
Great spot - spent a night there. two campervans besides us, quiet, just a few runners, people with dogs. beach accees immediately, the water was great! a bit dirty though so please dont accumulate your trash there as well.
Good place, busy during the day because it is a picnic area, but very quiet at night. We slept without any problems, with good views and no noise.

Magnificent place, easy to access. Several of us spent the night there. It is relatively close to houses, so you can hear barking dogs and the church bell. But it is not really bothersome.
Lovely place. Stayed for two nights. Spotted a wolf during an evening walk around the lake.
A great spot with a view of the reservoir lake. Enough space for several vehicles, and swimming is possible even though the water was freezing at this time of year! A campsite is nearby if needed.
The spot shown in the photo is now paid parking, but a little farther back it is free. We spent Friday night there. We did not sleep well because it is a busy street with noisy cars and people.
