A-1501, 50212, Carenas
Been here?
This large, flat viewpoint parking area overlooks a turquoise lake and offers a very quiet overnight stay under a spectacular starry sky. A 7m50 motorhome has stayed there without difficulty, and deer may pass nearby. The road has little traffic and evening visitors soon leave. There are no rubbish bins, little shade, and strong daytime heat.

We stayed there alone with our 7.5-meter motorhome last night. During the day, there is an incredible view of the lake and deer may pass by if you are lucky. In the evening, a magnificent starry sky, and at night, absolute peace and quiet. One of the best spots we have visited. There are no bins, so please leave it spotless for the next visitors :)Translating
Very quiet place with spectacular views. We spent the night and were very comfortable. The starry sky is incredible. There were two motorhomes and two cars. It is a large car park, perfect for overnight stays; however, it gets lots of sun and little shade during the day.Translating
Idyllic place to park and spend the night. Impressive views over the reservoir. That said, it was extremely hot. There is little shade.Translating
Large viewing area for the turquoise lake below . Quite busy early evening with people coming to enjoy the view but soon quietened down . We were the only Motorhome here .The other site behind the restaurant down the road looked a bit rough for our motorhome Translating
Very large, super-quiet parking area with an incredible view of the reservoir... and after the rain it is the only one without sticky red dirt.Translating
Magnificent view of the lake, an incredible blue. Beside a very quiet road. Large, flat open area that can accommodate many vans. We were not alone, either. No problem accessing the spot with our Ducato Maxi L4H3.Translating
Beautiful spot, extremely pleasant, very peaceful, exceptional view.Translating
The place is absolutely beautiful and offers an incredible view. We wanted to sleep here and parked at the back of the lot to be more peaceful. Unfortunately, some people treat nature as a public toilet or dump, which is unbearable and such a shame. We preferred to leave.Translating
Total peace and quiet at night with several vehicles, and a beautiful sunrise. Simply brilliant!Translating
A natural paradise in cinemascope. A slow-living corner for watching life go by and reflecting on the divine and the human. Anyway... it is likely that, as with us, the area will leave you speechless.Translating
Excellent quiet spot, breathtaking views, a few day trippers but hardly noticed them. Highly recommended Translating
Incredible place! Magnificent view and absolute peace and quiet. If only there were more places like this in Spain, it would be perfect!Translating
Direct access from the road, lots of space, flat, and an incredible view! The point at the tip is the best. Beware of the drop and cliff.Translating
The best spot on the lake if... Like us, in the off-season, you can venture all the way to the end. We were alone on arrival—the Piedra site was closed that day—and eventually enjoyed a starry night after a rainy, snowy day.Translating
Viewpoint with beautiful views of the reservoir. Fairly level. No services. We spent a very peaceful and pleasant night. Nearby there is a picnic area with a bar and access to the swimming area.Translating
Very quiet. Good views of the lake. Please take your rubbish with you.Translating
Very beautiful and quiet place. Plenty of space. Police came to check at midnight, did not stop, probably only routine check. Some 12km from the highway, worth the detour.Translating
Magnificent place, quiet, clean, and spacious.Translating
A very beautiful place with a magnificent view of the lake. A peaceful night and a magical sunrise... Also worth seeing nearby is the Piedra Monastery and its natural surroundings, including waterfalls and caves.Translating
This is an ideal place if you are looking for peace, nature, and impressive views over a reservoir. Perfect for spending the night in a van or motorhome. No services. Peaceful at night. The only drawback is the many insects; a mosquito net is essential.Translating
Very nice sleeping/parking area. There is no rubbish and it is very quiet at night. The view in the morning is wonderful, and there are always enough other people there—at least there were when we visited. The only disadvantage is that it was really very cold at night, but the starry sky was fantastic!!! I can only recommend it.Translating
A wonderful place. We spent the night peacefully, watching the stars.Translating
Spectacular place; we spent two nights without any problems. The problem is that people forget this is a viewpoint, and those who need the best photo end up surrounded by people coming to use the viewpoint. If you park here, respect the viewpoint area, and if you want to sleep there, do so when nobody needs to see the view. Overall, quite clean.Translating
Splendid view and peaceful place. We spent one night there without problems. The Civil Guard passed by early in the evening and did not say anything to us.Translating
Fantastic pitch. Beautiful view! A steep gravel road gives access to the reservoir, where you can swim wonderfully.Translating
One of the prettiest spots I have visited; the view is absolutely splendid and the night is peaceful. You can find other spots closer to the water by going back down toward the village of Carenas, which has a service area.Translating
Good views and very peaceful.Translating
Magnificent! We stopped for the night; there is some shade and the sunrise view is superb! There were two other people. It was very quiet, and we saw a civil-protection vehicle making a round. We get mobile reception. Please keep the site clean.Translating
Dreamlike place. No services, but a beautiful view. We spent a peaceful night. Unsuitable for vehicles without their own toilet.Translating
Very good spot for sleeping; when it rains, it is not ideal because it gets very muddy. So going outside to urinate is difficult. Otherwise, it is a really beautiful spot. There is mobile reception here.Translating
Superb spot; we were peaceful there for the night. Just a few visitors came to admire the view before nightfall.Translating
Magnificent place, superb view, in the shade of the pines, very quiet at night.Translating
Great place, quiet and with a magnificent view. We spent one night there without any problems.Translating
Extraordinary, very peaceful place with good views. Perfect for spending the night.Translating
Nice place. Little traffic on the road, but not completely quiet. Unfortunately, no parking spaces are marked, so people park all over the place. As a result, far fewer vehicles fit than the space could actually accommodate. But 100 meters down the side road there is also plenty of room, and it is even quieter.Translating
