Villa del Mar – Nerja Camping (formerly Camping Nerja) is the only campsite in Nerja and Maro. It is at kilometre 296 of the N-340, in Maro, at the foot of the Almijara mountains and next to the Maro-Cerro Gordo Cliffs Natural Area, about 5 km from central Nerja. It has a 3.7 rating on Google from more than 600 reviews.

Facilities. 51 pitches for tents and motorhomes with water and 16 A electricity, plus bungalows and chalets with bathroom, kitchen, air conditioning and TV. There is a pool (heated part of the year), bar-restaurant, barbecues, laundry, a small shop and wifi.

For. Friendly staff, sea views, peace and quiet, the pool, and the chalets and bungalows, which are the best-rated accommodation. From here you are quickly at the Maro beaches and the Nerja Caves.

Against. There are many complaints about the cleanliness of toilets and showers, maintenance, small and somewhat disorganised pitches, motorway noise and the odd party. If you are camping, ask for a pitch away from the road. More options in campsites in Nerja.
