Camping La Garrofa

Enkele dagen gestaan, een prima camping niet te groot. Bijna direct aan zee. Almeria met de bus bezocht. Voor ons voldoende faciliteiten en ook nog eens heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant.

Great for access to Almeria by bus. The restaurant was excellent value. Shame the internet was not working. Although we were in a tent the nearby road was not a noise issue.

This was a terrible experience. The man on Reception was rude and abrupt. When we mentioned there was a problem with WIFI, he said he'd fix it later. He never did and we had no campsite internet. The description says you'll fall asleep to the sound of the waves. We didn't get any sleep because of the noise of the busy road right above the campsite and the group at the bar/restaurant who laughed and talked until 2am. We intended to stay a few days and left after one night. Many other campers made the same decision.

When we first arrived we were a little unsure because the campsite was quite remote ie nothing we could easily walk to. We soon discovered that was what made it special. The campsite is right on a picturesque beach, lovely for a cool swim or topping up a suntan. A bus stop is right outside with plenty of buses to and from the city, cheap too! The onsite restaurant and bar servered probably the best combinado we've had anywhere in Spain ( pork loin, chips, egg and salad ) washed down with a local spanish beer.

Arrived there and although it is right next to the sea the beach is not very nice very unkempt. Very difficult to negotiate the site to get to pitch and then told it was 30 euro and not 18 as per ACSI not worth that so we left pitches very small told all ACSI pitches had been sold total rip off
