Wecamp Cabo de Gata

Fabulous site , great pitch, on beach but pool area is fantastic. Staff really helpful. Showers / toilets/ washing all brill

What a beautiful place! Perfect place to stay, the pool was wonderful and the location is fantastic!

Highly recommend! A warm and friendly welcome on arrival with the lady on reception opening the shop for us, out of hours, so we could buy provisions for our stay. Our mobile home for 2 people was clean and modern and had everything we could need. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the decking having some drinks in the evening and coffee in the morning sun. The restaurant was also value for money and again, the staff so welcoming.

Yes, depending which was you look at it, many of the ‘negative’ reviews here are true. Yes, the drive onto site isn’t for the faint hearted, and can feel scary but take it slowly and you’ll be fine. Prepare for spectacular views and gorgeous dark skies from your pitch. Yes, it’s noisy when it’s windy, but it’s camping, it’s a part of the adventure. Yes, the on site restaurant may or may not be open, but you’re only a stroll away from Las Negras (there’s a lovely Ice Cream place serving great coffee over that way) if you’re desperate to eat out. Yes, the shop opens and closes before the day has started, but be prepared, order your fresh bread and pastries the evening before and nip to the shop before lunch to pick up any essential items you need. The prices are far from expensive and you’ll find everything you might need. We stayed in a Family+ tent. It was more than spacious enough for our family of 4 and everything that comes with us - suitcases, shopping etc. The beds were unbelievably comfortable and the accommodation well equipped with all of your glamping essentials. Including a coffee machine. Hot water and powerful showers in a good sized bathroom and space outside to enjoy balmy evenings under the dark skies. The staff speak very basic English, so using some basic Spanish in return will get you far. We asked our time here, as seasoned ‘campers’ and travellers, who do enjoy the finer things when it comes to accommodation, we were not disappointed. The site was spotless and felt safe, and the facilities clean - including the pools. A short stroll through the site lands you on a gorgeous beach that offers great views and snorkelling (rock shoes recommended). There’s Boules, a small play park and volley ball on site, too. Laundry facilities are available - but at a €4 fee. Bring change! We would return to Wecamp Cabo de Gata and are already exploring other Wecamp locations.

Great camp! Accommodation was great and as expected. Bar / restaurant needs to get better as it wouldn’t cope in summer, service slow and kept having to chase drinks order up (there were only 2 other couples in the bar so not busy)

Not all will agree but this is our experience. Access road is narrow and is built into the side of a hill you go up and then down last hair pin is very tight there are no barriers and it’s a significant drop. Booking in took a while as each arrival has to be taken to their pitch so you just wait and wait. Our pitch 38 was poor we booked a long time ago with the van size but it was too small could not be moved as they were full. The tarmac access stops and then it’s loose chipping but you have to run over onto them to back onto the pitch and the van sinks took a while to get out of it. You get a side space to put table and chairs but even attaching to the electric is difficult as you are in a bush. The van is 7m and was about a metre in the road to get it on the site. A nice Dutch man came over to say we had the worse pitch on the site. great! The pool and beach and restaurant are a fair hike from the pitch and down hill even longer coming back. Pool was ok but could not sit by it due to flies. We booked the restaurant they gave us an English menu with the worse translation I have seen as such we had some very poor food and under cooked fries. We try our best with the language and try and order with google translate if stuck but no hope here. Extremely unfriendly staff and again flies in everything we noticed everyone’s drink was given a top to protect from flies but not us we asked but they just shrugged Beach was ok but tatty in our view Shop opening hours not as advertised on arrival The result was booked and paid for 3 nights but left after one. This site is at the end of the road with nothing nearby it’s a beach holiday only. We were ok with this and wanted just that but we were genuinely unwelcome we realised that as soon as we said English on arrival . Sometimes even those who have been trained not to cannot hide it. Showers are dribblers of hot then cold then hot. Disappointed to say the least. This is not everyone’s experience but just a factual statement of what happened to us.

We stayed here for three nights in mid jan 24. The location is remote and the site accessed along a narrow road. It was ok in our 7M Motorhome. We were shown to a deluxe pitch. It was smaller than the info suggested and next to some long term campers who had begun to make the area look like a shanty town. At our request we were moved but onto an even tighter plot. Apart from this the staff were generally helpful and the facilities clean and modern. The shop was open infrequently and the pool and restaurant closed. Ongoing building work did not impact upon us. Access to the beach and neighbouring village are easy from site. There are lovely walks across the hills and cliffs to neighbouring bays.
