"Beautiful campsite - There are a lot of hibernators here who talk loudly across several plots as if they were alone. Music is also played very loudly. Practically no peace and quiet for vacationers. We stayed here for a week and won't be back, which is a shame, but you want to have some peace and quiet.

"Pensioners' site with small plots and lots of dogs - The site is located between huge greenhouses with a road separating it from the pebble beach. Most of the pitches are only about 70 square meters in size and too small for today's camping vehicles. It is usually not enough to fully extend the awning next to the camper; you sit in the narrow strip between the vehicle and the hedge. There is a green sunshade over most of the pitches, which is bad for the satellite antenna. Good free WiFi. The sanitary facilities are dated but clean. The restaurant serves mostly small senior portions at prices where you could expect a decent portion. Staff is nice. The surrounding area is a catastrophe, a few greenhouses, nothing else except the nearby village of Balerma with 1 supermarket and a few stores and a few restaurants. Nice long beach promenade instead. There is a pebble beach there, lots of dogs on the beach in the campsite area, lots of dogs on the campsite too, some campers have recently started coming with 2 or 3 dogs, the constant barking is just too much. The pool even has a disabled lift next to the stairs. Conclusion: In the winter months, a pensioners' campsite with approx. 80% German campers with mostly small pitches where I would never stay for so long. Extremely many dogs.

"Splendid - Found x chance by asking during a refueling of my bike, the campsite immediately proved to be welcoming with friendly staff. Free choice of pitch identified on the map. Very quiet place with the beautiful beach practically attached to the campsite and a very nice sea. Also friendly were the neighbors who, upon my arrival, greeting me asked, intrigued by the bike with Italian license plates, about where I was from.

"Woman - The place has potential. A little friendliness, more information. We had the feeling that the reception was just annoyed by us campers. Perhaps permanent campers or those with television connections would be treated better. I could also imagine hearing more about the country and the people, especially as long-term vacationers. Why are vegetables not offered at the greenhouses that have not yet spoiled? Why is there no freshly squeezed orange juice in the restaurant (oranges are sold at every gas station)? We were a bit disappointed because we only read positive things and also saw them on the net. We have been to 3 other places (small and large) where we felt very comfortable despite language problems. It's not the campsite, but the people who run it. We can recommend it as a stopover site, as you can use everything on the site.

"First long-term vacation - The campsite is actually good, very clean sanitary facilities, very friendly staff. The only thing that bothered us was the number of dogs and the selfish dog owners who couldn't control their four-legged friends. The campsite should be divided into a part for dog owners and the other part without dogs...

"A rest area in the middle of nowhere - The campsite is located on the outskirts of Balerma, a very deserted village right by the sea. The area is characterized by plantations. And the campsite is right in the middle of it all. The sandy beach is just a few meters away. However, it is not very inviting. Dark sand and not very clean. The campsite has very good sanitary facilities. There are also washing machines, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant with a small store, a pool and play areas for children. The location of the campsite is not so nice. There are plantations everywhere, and you can hear the sound of them. It seems as if the place (not the campsite) has had its best days. The campsite with its good infrastructure is almost a contrast to this. The pitches even have their own awning. The pitches are large and everything is flat. However, everything is also quite functional and somehow lacks charm. The gravel pitches are functional and not very cozy. At least there are a few palm trees and hedges for privacy. One clear drawback: the construction work on the pitch! Circular saws and the like were used during the construction work on the mobile homes. All in all, a well-positioned pitch, but functionally oriented. Not inviting enough to stay longer. Especially not because of the noise of the building work and the location in the middle of nowhere. But we will consider it as a stopover in the future.

Description

Profile

Special for long winter on the sun. 300 sunny days per year Close to the sea and within walking distance of the fishing village of Balerma, Mar Azul is open all year round making it a particularly good choice for …a winter break (booking is recommended). The 220 gravel and hard ground pitches (70-140 sq.m) are in orderly rows and have 16A electricity, water and drainage. The site is relatively new, with just a few trees, low hedges and small palms so artificial shade is provided for the summer months. This site really comes into its own as a base for touring Andalucía. Almeria, a short drive away, has an old quarter, the Alcazaba fortress and a 16th-century Gothic cathedral; Granada with the Alhambra, the Generalife Gardens and the Cathedral; the Cabo de Gata National Park, the Tabernas Desert with his Western Movies Scenerys and the Alpujarras White Villages are also among the region’s many attractions. The site is in an area where intense agriculture under plastic is the main economic activity. FACILITIES Two modern, heated and well maintained sanitary blocks with hot showers and facilities for disabled visitors. Launderette. Dog shower. Motorcaravan services and washing. Small supermarket. Bar/restaurant. Outdoor swimming pool (1/6-1/9). Sports ground. Jeux de boules. Playground. Car hire. Tourist information. WiFi (free at Cantina).
