When the summer heat on the Costa de la Luz gives way to the gentle warmth of the velvet season and the tourist crowds thin out, revealing the true beauty of Andalusia’s nature, it becomes the perfect time for a special journey. In the heart of Doñana Natural Park, one of Europe’s most important biosphere reserves, lies a place where you can truly hear the silence. This spot, hidden among majestic pine forests and dunes, offers a unique opportunity to recharge far from the bustle of the city. Here, autumn is not just a season, but a particular state of mind: the air is filled with the scent of pine needles and salty sea breeze, and the landscapes glow with warm, golden hues. Just a few minutes away is the famous Torrel del Loro beach, where you can wander for hours along the shoreline, collecting shells and admiring the dramatic sunsets that paint the sky with unique scenes every evening.
Infrastructure for complete comfort
This is not just a campsite for pitching tents, but a full-fledged complex designed for a carefree stay. Guests are welcomed year-round by a cozy bar-cafeteria, where you can start your day with a cup of aromatic coffee on the open terrace, listening to birdsong. For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, there are courts for padel and tennis, ping-pong tables, and even a basketball court, allowing you to stay fit even while on vacation. Expansive green areas with the dense shade of centuries-old pines create a sense of coolness and seclusion. The administration is open until late in the evening, providing convenience for those arriving after sunset. An important aspect for many travelers is the warm welcome extended to guests with pets, provided all necessary documents are in order, making this a wonderful option for a complete family holiday.
Glamping: a new way to connect with nature
For those who appreciate being close to nature but aren’t willing to sacrifice comfort, the Kampaoh project operates within the complex. This glamping concept blurs the line between wilderness adventure and hotel convenience. Guests don’t have to worry about equipment: fully equipped tents of various types await, from the spacious “Imperator” to the cozy “Bell.” Waking up here is a special pleasure — the first rays of sunlight filter through the canvas, while the sound of the waves can be heard in the distance. Inside each “tent” there are real beds with crisp white linens and warm blankets, towels, outlets for gadgets, and mosquito nets. Each tent has its own picnic area nearby. Some accommodations even offer a mini-fridge and a basic set of dishes, letting guests fully immerse themselves in a relaxing atmosphere and leave everyday worries behind.
Time for the soul: autumn activities
Instead of the lively summer entertainment, autumn offers a deeper, more meaningful way to spend your time. This is the season for leisurely walks along the reserve’s many trails, where there’s a good chance of spotting deer, wild boar, or observing rare bird species that call Doñana home. From here, it’s easy to take a trip to the famous village of El Rocío, known for its sandy streets and unique atmosphere, or to explore the cultural sites of the nearby towns of Almonte and Mazagón. The local restaurant “El Cristales” is renowned for its breakfasts and lunches, which can be enjoyed outdoors. A small supermarket on the premises makes it convenient to stock up on essentials. With the arrival of autumn, this place transforms into a true oasis of tranquility, where the focus shifts to contemplation, peace, and recharging—offering the perfect balance between wild nature and modern comforts.
