20 CM-3115, 13710, Argamasilla de Alba
Been here?
Free municipal RV park beneath pine trees, beside a picnic area and opposite Peñarroya Castle and its reservoir. It is quiet, spacious, shaded and mostly level, with a maximum stay of two nights and rubbish bins but no waste or water services. The castle is free to visit, and a nearby shop and bar provide refreshments; a non-potable water point is available at the castle. Lower branches may touch taller vehicles, and many flies were reported in June.

Ideal for spending the night and even the day, with lots of shade. Across the road is a very beautiful and free castle. There is a water fountain in the castle car park and a bar. Close to Argamasilla and Tomelloso. Recommended.Translating
We stopped to prepare lunch and spend the day. It was very peaceful, and there is also a castle and dam to visit. We had a very pleasant and quiet night.Translating
Simply perfect! Plenty of space, peace and quiet, and a wonderful short walk to the reservoir in the morning. We would be happy to return!Translating
An incredibly beautiful place to spend the night or make a quick stop. The pine trees provide great shade and smell wonderful. Just keep an eye out when parking, as some of the lower branches might touch your camper.
Really perfect for a break or overnight stay. There is a nice château with drinks inside; it is worth asking for an ice cream or a Coke. The dam is fairly easy to access—not great beaches, but the water is just right. There is a motorhome spot opposite the château. Notice the difference in cleanliness between the car park reserved for motorhomes and the non-motorhome one next door: the motorhome users keep theirs clean, while the other one is horrible.Translating
Free community campsite without facilities. Very beautiful location by an azure-blue reservoir where you can swim, with a castle that is free to visit! Bins, lots of shade, flat pitches, and plenty of space. Not too much traffic noise. In June, there are a lot of flies!!! Little shop by the castle until 6:00 p.m. selling water, soft drinks, and ice cream.Translating
Magnificent, very clean, orderly and level pine forest for parking and overnight stays. No water or waste-disposal services. In front of the castle there is a water tap on a kind of rock with a 3/4-inch thread that you can use. It says non-potable, but it is fine for the water tank. Civil Guard patrols pass from time to time. Highly recommended.Translating
Beautiful pitch! Despite being close to the road, it is quiet at night. There were 5 campers in total and I felt very safe there. I will definitely come back on my next trip.Translating
Great place. Large and well divided, so despite the other campers there was plenty of privacy. It was very quiet and overall a truly pleasant atmosphere. I can definitely recommend it.Translating
Good place for sleep. No flies, no insects. Fine out of the season. A lot of spaces.
Great spot for a quiet night. Unfortunately there is no potable water, but you can buy water in the shop. :)Translating
The area is good for overnight stays and for walking or cycling routes through the Ruidera Lakes from the reservoir. We spent one night there, coinciding with the weekend of the Romería of the Virgen de Peñarroya, which we had not anticipated, and it was impossible to sleep because a group of young people had set up a tent with techno music at full volume, without any control by the local police or Civil Guard.Translating
Great that the municipality has created something like this. Thank you for the wonderful pitch in the middle of fantastic nature. We had a quiet night.Translating
Very good for a peaceful stay. It only lacks water and waste-disposal services; otherwise, a ten out of ten.Translating
Excellent area but without services. Quiet and ideal for those who love walking in nature. There is also a breathtaking view of the dam and the castle, which can be visited free of charge. Poor internet reception.Translating
Good place to spend the night, very peaceful among the trees, with other motorhomes nearby so you do not feel alone. The castle is right opposite.Translating
Many thanks to the municipality for this great motorhome area, shaded and free, without services except bins, but that is already excellent. Lovely walks nearby, superb view of the castle over the lake. It is a shame that some people do not respect the place; we cleaned up other people's rubbish behind us, and it is even worse toward the orchards.Translating
Great place for an overnight stay. Very spacious and level. Right opposite the castle and Peñarroya reservoir. We spent a very peaceful night with a great atmosphere.Translating
Incredible place. It feels like camping pitches. Shade. Bins. Peace. Silence.Translating
Spacious, shaded site with picnic areas, next to a beautiful castle and reservoir. There are many hiking routes. We will come back.Translating
Site with capacity for many vehicles. Since it is a motorhome area, you can easily put out tables and chairs. The only place where you can sleep when visiting the lakes. The first one is 15 minutes away. No services, but there is a non-potable water tap at the castle and bins at the entrance. Very quiet during Holy Week, although stays are limited to a maximum of 2 nights.Translating
Large area with plenty of capacity for campers and caravans. Clean and well maintained. Grass surface and plenty of shade. We stayed one night and it was very good. There are swimming areas and hiking routes nearby, highly recommended. It must be fantastic in summer!Translating
Beautiful place for the night, under trees. No other facilities. Across the road, you can walk straight to the castle with its magnificent view over the reservoir. At the information centre we were allowed to use the toilet and shower.
Lovely quiet place in winter.
Quiet place with more than enough space for an overnight stay. Bin available. I did not see the tap. I would come back.
Ample and quiet place. In winter there is no one there.
We spent one night here, a very, very quiet place and not a single fly. :)
It is appreciated that land has been set aside for an area. It is honestly not bad, with the basics. Very dusty in the dry season; people have already commented extensively on the flies.
Beautiful place but far too many flies. I left the vehicle open for 10 minutes and 200 flies got inside. Unbearable!
SEPTEMBER - check the dates. enormous local festival on 2nd Saturday. impossible to park. very quiet night with little passing traffic. worst infestation of flies we have found in La Mancha ( where flies are everwhere). impossible to be outside. outside of fly season, it would be a great place to pass a couple of nights. small shop in Castle for water, ice cream, pop etc
Quiet and shaded, but the number of flies made the day impossible for us, so we left.
We only parked to see the castle, but it looks very good for spending the night and is quite shaded. Easy access.
Beautiful view, level and shaded pitches. Quiet at night. Unsuitable for vehicles without their own toilet.
It is very good. No services, but you can put out chairs and a table; nobody says anything. Completely safe.
Beautiful spot, flat and shady and full of birds singing and a few cats by the castle! I was the only one here! The only water I could find was by the castle and I thought (a very faded sign) said “non potable” so I’d come prepared for no water, but it’s a great spot. Lovely castle on top and great views of the top reservoir of the Ruidera water “series”
AC 7.40. Easy access. We spent a fantastic night. A wonderful, well-maintained pine forest. Beautiful.
Great place. It is noon and it is still quiet, with only birdsong. Thank you for this lovely spot.
Very good area, quiet night, many motorhomes and some campers. Pleasant walk to the castle with beautiful views. On the way toward Barcelona, we diverted 10 minutes from the route, but it is worth spending the night among the pine trees.
Perfect place. We spent one night on the way to the Ruidera Lakes. Quiet with lots of space, areas for hiking and mountain biking, and the castle is worth visiting. Water is available only at the castle, but it is worth it.
Spacious pitches among pine trees, very close to the castle and reservoir. Bins nearby. Interestingly, a fox approached us at dusk, presumably looking for food. A very peaceful night with a beautiful sunset. There were only three vans in the entire parking area.
Awesome place. Very peaceful and beautiful.
