The province of Malaga offers a wide variety of authorized campsites that provide a comfortable and safe space for nature enthusiasts. The most popular camping sites in Malaga are as follows:
Camping Parque Ardales is located in the Natural Site of Desfiladero de los Gaitanes, famous for the popular Caminito del Rey. This campsite provides a unique experience in the midst of nature with all possible amenities, as it offers space for both tents and caravans, and also offers apartment rentals.
Sacaba camping is more of a parking area for motorhomes and vehicles equipped for overnight stays than a traditional campground. However, it is the best option if you want to wake up right by the beach in the capital of Malaga.
La Sierrecilla campsite is located in Antequera. It is ideal for those traveling with a motorhome or large-capacity vans. The campsite offers spacious pitches with electrical hook-ups and common areas, as well as a swimming pool to enjoy on warm days.
Torremolinos campsite is located near the coast and just minutes away from the center of Torremolinos. This is ideal for those who, despite enjoying nature, need urban comforts, as the space provides modern facilities and almost direct access to the beach.
If you’re a hiking and bird-watching enthusiast, Camping Sierra de las Nieves will be your favorite. As the name suggests, it is located in the Sierra de las Nieves Natural Park, so you’ll be completely isolated from urban areas.
The campsite offers both pitches for tents and caravans, as well as bungalows for those who prefer greater comfort.
