Been here?
Aparcamiento Río Borosa is a motorhome parking area at the starting point of the Río Borosa hike, surrounded by nature and known for peaceful nights, stars, and occasional deer. Charges vary by parking section, with recent stays reporting 2.20€ and 14.50€. Services are limited to fresh-water filling and gray-water emptying, with no WC; the drainage can be difficult to use. The route has recently been affected by landslide damage and temporary closure.

It is greatly appreciated to have a reserved area for motorhomes. But it is not fair or equitable to charge €2.20 for a car and €14.50 for us. If we stay 6 hours, we are supposed to pay €2.20, because there are signs showing different prices and you pay at the machine. There is only one water tap and a blocked drain where it is obvious that some people have used it for the toilet.Translating
We paid €2.20 and spent the night amazed by the stars and the deer that came over to investigate. The area beyond the second barrier is more expensive and has no services. Broken fountain, etc.Translating
I give it two stars because at least we have this option to stay somewhere overnight, but it is disgraceful to create an area with such deficient services: only gray water, in a corner with a very small grate that makes it impossible to empty a medium-sized vehicle. With our 7.5 m motorhome, emptying is impossible, and there is no black-water disposal.Translating
A perfect place in the middle of the nature park, absolute peace at night, with only gray-water disposal and fresh-water filling. NO TOILET, somewhat shaded. It is worth noting that, depending on your motorhome, the gray-water drain may not line up properly with your outlet; something to improve. The Borosa River route is currently open only for the first 2 km. Perfect for a walk.Translating
Quiet place surrounded by nature, with water filling and emptying. Ideal for doing the Borosa route.Translating
Excellent parking and overnight-stay location at the start of the Borosa River route, with services only for gray-water emptying and filling. What a shame that some fellow campers do not respect the rules and put out tables and chairs despite it being forbidden; all they achieve is making things worse for everyone.Translating
Please be aware that the walk is closed. There are no parking barriers but I think that's because the walk is closed due to a landslide. Police were fining people that tried to walk the route. We didn't stay but I think €14 is steep for no services
Today, March 14: parking without barriers and accessible.Translating
Large parking area as an emergency solution because the campsites in the valley are closed due to flood damage. The disposal point is not really accessible and is clogged. We spent a quiet night and, since the second barrier is defective, only had to pay the normal car price. ATTENTION: The hiking trail along the river is currently also closed due to a rockfall.Translating
Perfect place to spend the night right at the start of one of the most beautiful routes in the Sierra de Cazorla. I think it is shameful that many comments encourage using the vehicle parking area instead of the designated motorhome area. Because of people like that, we will lose these spaces. If we want to be respected, we must do things properly. The grate is for gray water, NOT CHEMICAL TOILETS!Translating
The motorhome area is inadequate: the gray-water dump and fresh-water filling point are very difficult to access, it is unpaved, and there is no black-water disposal. There is one tap for everything, which is unhygienic. The tariffs are unclear: it says €14.50 from 6 hours onward, but if you exceed 24 hours, €29 is automatically charged from the first minute.Translating
We only parked for the walk. We did not use the motorhome parking area. We could not open the barrier to that parking area with the ticket. So we parked in the car area, which was perfectly fine. We paid only €2.20 for 5 hours.Translating
Spacious parking area, reasonable price if you could empty properly (the grated hole is badly positioned). No black-water disposal, in theory. Attention for large motorhomes: in rainy weather, the uphill, turning exit may be difficult.Translating
For the price they charge and the services they offer, it is not worth it; a campsite is better for overnight stays, by far.Translating
The place is fine, but the services are crap. The water-fill area is flooded where the cassette is cleaned, there is a disgusting grate for gray and black water, rubbish is left outside and the bins are overflowing. No wonder motorhomes stay outside. It is not worth paying for these disgusting services!Translating
Keep parking outside in the car section and you will get another fantastic place for motorhomes taken away from us.Translating
Quiet and clean place. There is a restaurant next door that is open until 6 p.m.Translating
Good place to spend the night. Very quiet. If you are in a van or caravan, enter the parking area through the first barrier, which costs €2.20 for 24 hours. There is no need to enter the parking area through the second barrier (the one designated for overnight stays, costing €14.50), because nobody is there and nobody says anything. So you can sleep peacefully for €2.20.Translating
We arrived at 7:40 p.m. and stayed in the general parking area, not in the motorhome section. After spending the night, we left the next day at 2:30 p.m. We paid €2.20. The motorhome section costs €14.50 because it has water filling and black-water disposal. We spent the night alone and without noise, except for the river. Fantastic!Translating
We spent one night in a camper and it was honestly very good, considering the limitations and the fact that there are no services beyond the enclosed parking area, for only €2.20. If you enter the motorhome area, it is somewhat more expensive. You can eat at a nearby bar; they are very friendly. The surroundings are excellent, with plenty of shade.Translating
We spent one night and it was very good. We were alone in that wonderful setting, with the sound of the river at night. If you pass the second barrier, it costs €20 and gives you access to the hose and water-dumping facilities. If you stay in the car park as we did, you spend the night for €2. Great.Translating
Great for parking for hikes or bike rides.
Pricing: important if you want to pay only €14.50 for 24 hours: after passing the first barrier, go directly and immediately to the second motorhome parking barrier and use the same ticket. If you do not follow this procedure immediately, you will have to leave the parking area and pay €2.20 for nothing.
We arrived in the early hours with our motorhome. To avoid disturbing the other people sleeping in their vehicles, we did not enter the motorhome area and stayed in the parking lot. We did the route the next morning and left at 6 p.m. €2.20.
Given the prices in the area, it is not bad, but it is still just a parking lot. The filling hose has more duct tape than hose.
It is fine for visiting; you pay €2.20 if you stay no more than 6 hours. The drain in the motorhome area was still blocked; €15 for 24 hours. At the campsites farther on, at this time of year, it is around €20 per night and you get campsite facilities.
The filling water is not potable! They say it is untreated. Unfortunately, nobody has written anything on the tap. Be careful about drinking it directly.
The dump point is still blocked, and the spaces near the river overlook the rubbish and shacks belonging to the owner opposite. Everything is great for that outrageous price of €14.50 per day. People are staying before the barrier to the motorhome area for €2.20 per day—a smart decision.
