  • Spectacular setting between the Sierra de Baza and Sierra de Cazorla
  • Freila shops five minutes’ drive; Gorafe Megalithic Park 40 minutes
  • La Cabañuela Restaurant; poolside bar; fishing on Negratín Reservoir
Looking for spectacular landscapes, total peace and somewhere packed with cultural landmarks? Your search is over, for Camping Rural La Cabañuela is set close to the quiet, rural village of Freila (five minutes’ drive, known for the ruins of its Moorish fortress) and half an hour’s drive from the Sierra de Baza Natural Park in the untamed Altiplano highlands of Granada. What else makes this campsite stand out above the rest? Well, quite a lot actually. There’s great cooking in La Cabañuela Restaurant and a terrace bar that opens all year round, from where you can keep an eye on your kids frolicking in the outdoor pool during high season. Secondly, it’s about five minutes’ walk to a pretty beach bordering Negratín Reservoir, where you can fish, swim, kayak, paddleboard and generally keep active. At sunset, retreat to waterside restaurants and enjoy your pick of local dishes. Looking for yet more? The ancient remains of Arabic baths and two necropolises are found in Baza (20 minutes), and the town of Guadix (45 minutes) is famed for its cave houses and 16th-century cathedral. The forests, rivers and mountains of the Sierra de Cazorla (40 minutes) are also close at hand.

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked: The tranquillity of the site. The very helpful reception staff. Clean ablution facilities with plenty of hot water. 30 minute drive to Guadix. Excellent value for money.

Disliked: Tight access to some pitches for a 7.3 m caravan and 4.7 m long car, but no great problem with a motor mover.

Electric optional earth pitch

Liked: Freundlicher Empfang, sanitäranlagen gepflegt und sauber. Für einen Abstecher etwas abgelegen und keine richtige Seelage. Der See ist wunderschön aber das Ufer lädt nicht zum schwimmen ein. Wer wandern möchte ist hier sicherlich richtig.

From the manager: Muchas gracias por su comentario, Espero que hayan disfrutado de este entorno tan maravilloso. Saludos Silvia.

Local attractions

Negratín Reservoir may be watersports-central but it’s also a spectacular must-see, surrounded as it is by arid mountains layered with coloured rock strata and nicknamed the “badlands”. Sitting in the centre of Granada Geopark, these landscapes are unique in southern Spain. The hot springs at Baños de Zujar (25 minutes’ drive) have been in use since ancient Roman times: sink into the waters, rub mud into your skin and get ready for some serious floating rest and relaxation. To time travel further back into history, head for Gorafe Megalithic Park (45 minutes), an archaeological site with more than 240 dolmens, 11 necropolises and several settlements from the Bronze Age to its name. Coming closer to home base, the local village of Freila (five minutes) is the smallest in the Altiplano region, and the place to see properly old, traditional Andalusia among its whitewashed cottages, cave houses and late-medieval Moorish fortress. Climb up to the Plaza de los Tambores for views over rooftops to olive groves and red-ochre coloured peaks, then head back into the village to share tapas treats in pavement cafés.
