Roche Roche

Roche's owning Leal family – father Antonio, with son Enrique and daughter Begoña – and their friendly staff run a welcoming site and are always ready to provide local information. A cosy bar/restaurant serves as the on-site hub of activity, with happy hours and occasional celebrations for special festivals, especially the Romería of San Sebastián, the religious procession and pilgrimage for the local patron saint, held on the Sunday nearest to 20 January subject to the weather.

The campsite is set on the edge of pine forest and close to the coast of this much sought-after area, and while the countryside setting does mean that some animal noise may sometimes be heard. One of Roche's big pluses is that both town and beaches are quickly and easily reached by a good network of cycle paths, running through the pine forest to the coast. Signage and local maps for these are however almost non-existent, so take a relaxed view and be prepared to explore! Although the campsite organises regular coach excursions (Dec-Feb) Roche is best suited to campers with independent personal transport, which enables you to get the most out of this rewarding region. There is plenty of car and motorhome parking at the beach for access to the old town. Days out are possible to unspoiled beaches from Conil to Cádiz, and to Seville, Gibraltar, Andalucía’s Pueblos Blancos (white villages) route, the sherry area of Jerez, and the Roman remains of Baelo Claudia complete with an ancient red tuna factory. Add all this to the Costa de la Luz’s historic sites of Cádiz and Cape Trafalgar, and you have a winning formula for a winter break.

Pitches:

While many single pitches will allow for a caravan and awning, many caravanners prefer double pitches which are divided in the centre by trees and shrubs. It is nearly always possible on your allocated pitch to erect an awning, and it is sometimes possible to park your car on an empty pitch nearby (but this cannot be guaranteed). The site also has a large car park across the lane opposite reception.
