from 42 reviews Write review

Close to the university city of Salamanca, the capital city of the province with the same name, lies Camping Don Quijote. This hospitable campsite is an ideal holiday destination for sampling the Spanish culture and enjoying peace and quiet all year round. You can also sample the culture in the excellent restaurant. Explore the surrounding area by canoe on the Tormes river, or cycle to the historic centre of Salamanca.

Don Quijote shows the way

When you stay at camping Don Quijote, you are in the area of Salamanca, a historic city in the northwest of Spain. The campsite is just under four kilometres east of the centre of Salamanca, on the banks of the Tormes river. There, painted on a wall by the spacious entrance, you will see the man after whom the campsite is named: Don Quixote. He points you in the right direction, through the barriers, to the level, open terrain. And there you are, on one of the spacious touring pitches – especially suitable for motorhomes and caravans because of the hard surface.

On the Tormes

The campsite is right on the banks of the Tormes river, which starts in Prado Tormejón and flows past Salamanca to the Portuguese border. Those who love to fish should certainly take their rods. Note: you must arrange for a permit first.

Spanish local dishes

The restaurant at the campsite is widely known among the residents of the immediate vicinity. Many locals arrive in the evening to enjoy the ambiance and the local dishes. Paella is on the menu, of course, but meat dishes from the region are served as well.

€21 per night during lowseason

Fantsstische camping superschoon en modern sanitair, heet water bij douches en afwas, mooie grote plekken, omgeven door hagen en bomen veel schaduwplekken, zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, en dat voor 19 euro ( voorseizoen, acsi, 2 personen met caravan).elke ochtend vers brood en croissants. Wel klein zwembadje dat ook pas laat open is. Zo mooi en goedkoop hebben we in Spanje nog niet meegemaakt. Samaranca op 6 vrijwel vlakke km's fietsafstand grotendeels vrijliggend fietspad, super

Een uitstekende uitvalsbasis om de stad Salamanca te bezoeken. Vanaf de camping kan dit heel goed per fiets over vrij liggende fietspaden. Voor een langer verblijf zijn de staanplaatsen wat aan de kleine kant, maar voor een stadscamping voldoen ze goed.
Het sanitair is OK en er is een prima restaurant dat ook klandizie trekt uit de omgeving.

Fraaie camping. Zeer behulpzame receptie. Uitstekend restaurant. Klein zwembadje. Sanitair is niet luxe maar prima in orde en goed schoon.
Overzichtelijke camping met prettige begroeiing waardoor er zowel schaduw als zon is. Staanplaatsen zijn groot genoeg en gescheiden door lage heggetjes waardoor contact met buren mogelijk blijft. Manoeuvreer-ruimte voor camper/caravan is prima door ruime paden.
Camping ligt op fietsafstand (via fietspaden) van de mooie en gezellige stad Salamanca.
kindvriendelijkheid en entertainment kunnen we niet beoordelen.
het enige minpunt: 4G en telefoon werkte bij ons (Vodafone) extreem slecht op deze locatie. maar daar kan de camping niks aan doen.

Prettige camping, vriendelijk personeel, goed restaurant, ook een klein winkeltje. Goede fietsroute naar de stad. Zwembad kan ik niet beoordelen, was leeg. Wij hebben hier 2 nachten gestaan.

Fijne camping om Salamanca te bezoeken. Prima per fiets, al is de route langs de rivier met hondenarretje niet aan te raden. Schoon sanitair, ruime plaatsen. Restaurant is top. Fijn wandelgebied langs de rivier. Wij komen waarschijnlijk terug. Tussen de camping en Salamanca een enorm groot hondenpark.

Travelling party: Seniors

Typische doorgangscamping. De plekken zijn erg klein, vooral voor caravan en auto, het is meer gericht op campers. Ideale plek voor bezoek (per fiets) aan Salamanca. Ontvangst is supervriendelijk. Het sanitair is netjes en schoon, de douches zijn wel erg klein.
