The entry system with reservations and the QR code is very complicated. You have to make a reservation. We continued to Cabra, free of charge and without complications. They make easy things difficult here. That is why such a good area is empty.Translating
Do not come on a Saturday afternoon because nobody is there and they do not answer the phone, so it is impossible to get in. The area looks good.Translating
We arrived with a reservation at 1:30 p.m., intending to go to the tourist office at the other end of town to get the card. Well, it closed promptly at 2 p.m. and would not reopen until 10 a.m. the next day. So goodbye, Doña Mencía... We stopped in Zuheros for the day instead.Translating
The online reservation link is translated neither into French nor English. The young man at reception speaks English and completed the paperwork for us on paper. Two nights with electricity this weekend cost €23; electricity is paid separately. Live music at the hotel opposite on Saturday until midnight. Quiet nights. Hiking in the hills. Do not miss Calle de Tejido Urbano.Translating
Zuheros is a short walk away. Perfect for a peaceful weekend. All services available. The man at the entrance is definitely from Granada. Safe, clean and welcoming, unlike Baena.Translating
We had just arrived and were standing in front of the barrier after scanning the QR code to make a reservation. The man at the camper site immediately said in an unpleasant tone that we had to move away from the barrier. We simply wanted to enter and make a proper reservation, and nobody was inconvenienced. Very unfriendly man. We were angry, after two months of friendliness in Morocco, and left.Translating
Greenway, yes on one side, but a national road on the other. Friendly welcome. Remember to book because it is full. Not everyone has electricity. Pleasant region. I recommend it as a simple stopover, not for a stay.Translating
Very comfortable and flat, next to the Olive Oil Greenway, with the possibility of renting bikes, a playground, tables and a beautiful setting.Translating
The site is privileged, next to the Olive Oil Greenway and a good starting point for hiking routes. It is a shame that the management does not match. We had a reservation and their email says to call if arriving outside opening hours (4:30–6:30 p.m.) to let them know. The result was that, with small children and a reservation, we could not get in; they said they would not come to open the barrier.Translating
An area in an ideal location for hiking, cycling and going with children. Clean, with a playground. 100% recommended.Translating
The site is average. Parking spaces are very close together. The service is expensive for what they offer. The best thing is the guard dog.Translating
Beautiful and well-located area. Ideal for enjoying the possibilities of the region. We stayed for three days and will return.Translating
They allowed us to empty our cassette toilet for free. Absolutely delightful staff.Translating
What is expensive about €4–8? Some people simply have to complain :-( The place is lovely, the staff friendly, and I felt comfortable. Beautiful cycle paths, and anyone who is fit can even make it to Zuheros. There is hardly any space for motorhomes there, which is a shame. The municipality should finish the large site up there.Translating
The area is quite good and road noise is low, but they charge for everything: parking €4 (€8 at weekends), emptying and filling, electricity €4, shower €1.20... The shower water, operated with tokens, lasts four minutes.Translating
Very expensive area for the space and privacy of the pitches: €8 on a Friday night. They should plant hedges to separate each pitch.Translating
The area is fine, with the Greenway as its main attraction. They should solve the electricity connection problem; it is not sufficient for the number of spaces.Translating
Area located directly on the Olive Oil Route. Monday to Thursday it is an area; at weekends it becomes a campsite: caravans, children on bikes, loose dogs, caravan awnings, clutter on the pitches and, above all, lots of noise. If you want to rest before doing the routes the next day, go during the week.Translating
For the price, the area is very good. You can hear the road somewhat, but it is no problem for sleeping. The downside is the reservation system: if you do not make the reservation at least during the morning of the previous day, they do not guarantee a place. You cannot choose a pitch, and if you want more than one space to travel with others, you cannot request adjoining spaces and may be separated.Translating
Good area with toilets, a €1.20 shower, grey-water emptying and filling. Next to the Olive Oil Greenway. You must reserve on the Doña Mencía municipal website at least 48 hours in advance from Monday to Friday. You can put chairs and a table outside the van. Playground, picnic areas and bike rental.Translating
Access road with deep potholes. The reservation must be made by 2:30 p.m. on the day of arrival at the latest, otherwise you do not receive the access code for the entrance barrier. Very noisy because it is directly beside a main road.
Mixed experience. Beautiful spot between a busy road and a former railway trail. Good facilities, but poorly managed. Pitch assignments are rigid via the municipality, and staff can't change them. Electricity is limited; we waited a day for a hook-up. Showers/WC are locked—ask the bike shop to pay.
Terrible welcome; we were firmly turned away. You must register online in advance the day before and go to the tourist office for validation. Avoid this campsite—lodging could hardly be made more complicated.
Very good area. The bicycle man charged us and we went to our pitch. The shower was very hot; everything was excellent. I see other comments rating it very badly, but for us everything was fantastic.
Highly recommended area next to the Greenway. If you like walking or cycling, this is your place. Very attentive staff; Señor Rafael lives there, is very kind and quickly finds you a place. Weekend price without electricity is €15, and €25 with electricity. They also have tables beside the Greenway for eating in the winter sun.
This area is a disaster in terms of management, which is municipal, and in its general condition. The toilets usually have no paper, there is never any soap, and daily cleaning is minimal. The ground is uneven and lacks gravel, so when it rains it becomes a mud pit. It is right beside a busy road with many lorries, making the noise unbearable.
Arrival at this camper site is somewhat complicated. First, you have to register in advance. You cannot do this with a normal email because it does not arrive. You must use the form on the website. Go through “contact,” then “website,” scroll down to “AUTOCARAVANAS,” and click “reservas” above it.
After calling without anyone answering, I sent an email to reserve. Several hours later I arrived at the area without having received a reply. There I found the person in charge, who said I could not enter without a reservation. I told him I had made one but had received no reply, and he said to be patient because they always respond. In the end we left.
Magnificent area, nothing to complain about, although you must reserve in advance. We reserved on Friday at noon and immediately received confirmation—thank you, Marga. The cycling club people were friendly. A superb visit to the archaeological museum with its director, followed by a visit to the castle. The Flower Streets route is beautiful, and what can I say about Miguel and his wine museum? It was a pleasure meeting you all.
Let’s see, this is a lottery: sometimes you reserve and they do not reply; sometimes you arrive with a reservation and the entrance does not work; sometimes you ask at the bicycle store and can get in. In short, not very professional.
It is a real shame that this area cannot be used. We arrived at 8 p.m. to spend the night but could not enter because reservations must be made on the town hall website one day in advance and before 2:30 p.m. There were only three motorhomes and we had to leave. With all the technology available, I do not understand why they do not make it easier and more accessible.
An area with all services, including showers. The surroundings are a little neglected. You spend the day for €3 and electricity costs €1 per day. They did not charge us for emptying or filling. Quite good, surrounded by olive trees with an incredible smell.
A shame; the area is very poorly managed. There is usually nobody to open the barrier, and if you call the phone, they do not even answer. Do not bother going.
Unfortunately, despite having a reservation, we could not even enter—we could not believe it. WARNING! If you arrive after 7 p.m., you cannot access it, and to make matters worse you must leave before noon. The organization of the area is very poorly designed; they need to understand that when travelling you cannot cancel your itinerary to arrive on time, especially when unforeseen delays occur.
Everything here is prepared to welcome you. The staff are friendly and attentive, the area is clean, and the pitches are large for caravans or motorhomes. You can camp properly with your awning. There are showers, washbasins, grey- and black-water emptying. Its location is perfect for visiting the village, hiking or renting a bicycle for a route, since the rental centre is here.
Good area. You have to reserve online through the town hall website, then pay with the confirmation at the bicycle-rental shop at the entrance. Electricity costs €4, also paid at the shop. The hot shower uses tokens: €1.50 for four minutes. Good for the Greenway. Some pitches are dirt but level; limited shade and some noise.
