Camping El Merino, Campground in Villasbuenas de Gata, Spain.
Camping El Merino is a campground set on natural terraced grounds in Villasbuenas de Gata, surrounded by the Sierra de Gata mountains. The property holds 20 spacious pitches of around 300 square meters each, with facilities including private bathrooms, a swimming pool, an outdoor kitchen, and electrical hookups at most pitches.
The campsite developed in recent decades as a modern option in a region long defined by rural village life and farming communities. The Extremadura area has been shaped for centuries by scattered settlements and mountain territories with deep agricultural roots.
The site is run by Dutch owners who blend northern European hospitality practices with the rhythms of the local Spanish village. Visitors can join in village celebrations and experience how the area's communities mark their seasons.
The site is best visited from April through October when electrical connections are available across the grounds. Visitors should know that the mountain setting means cooler evenings and sturdy shoes are useful for exploring the surrounding terrain.
The grounds feature three furnished glamping bell tents with private bathrooms for visitors who want camping comfort with fewer compromises. These special accommodations let you sleep under the stars while still having warm, enclosed spaces for shelter.
