Awful site, nowhere to park to check in, staff are ignorant, pitches really small difficult to get on.

A very nice and peaceful site. Roughly 1mile down to Torrox beach. Torrox also has a dog beach too. The toilets and
showers were clean and tidy.
The only negative i can give it is the street parking when you first arrive. We did get parked, but i can see this could be a problem some days. They could give give up a pitch and move the barrier back a little to allow you to drive in off the road. But that would be my only negative comment. We like it here and would come again.

Enjoyed a peaceful week at El Pino. Very good value but a bit further from the town and sea than some sites

We accidentally revisited this site when the other one we wanted was full. We realised we had been here around 4 years ago. Having said that, we saw big improvements in the toilet facilities which have all been modernised. The campsite is not in a pretty location, the road up from the beach is…interesting! The beach is 1 km away. The restaurant and bar onsite are really good, the staff are lovely. We enjoyed our stay and would deffo consider using it again.

I note some of the good comments about this site but find it difficult to be positive. It started with reception. Because every available piece of land has been marked out as a pitch you can\'t pull onto the site to register. All of the pitches available for tourists are small and many very difficult to access. There are no open spaces. If this was a beach side site then I might be a little more understanding, but no, it is quite a hike to town and the beach and not a particularly pleasant one. I am sure there will be some who will enjoy such a site but I can\'t for the life of me understand why. I shall not be returning. I gave the pool a neutral rating because it was not open.

We agree with all the negative comments below, we only staying because we couldn’t find anything else in the area. This is one of our worst sites we have stayed on and couldn’t wait to leave, the pitches are so tight with no room to manoeuvre and have high curbs and is also terraced badly. Access in and out of the site is terrible. Toilet locks were broken, this site needs revisiting by ACSI.

We were locked down for 3 months here due to COVID-19. The government obviously imposed lots of restrictions on campsites which meant lots of control measures being put in place by the site. The staff were amazing during this period and I cannot praise them enough. We were unable to get a ferry home and most other sites closed. El Pino remained open. Opened bungalows when communal facilities were shut down, took delivery of parcels for customers. Kept us informed of lockdown issues etc etc. They were working on improving shower blocks and the pool while we were there so improving all the time.

Campsite is really difficult to enter with a caravan of any size and even small motor-homes would struggle as you can only enter at an angle to the main road. Really difficult to park outside due to local cars taking all the spaces, only place to park is a bus stop which is not ideal. The barriers on the site are right on the road so impossible to pull-in while you await booking in and walking round to confirm your plot. Why the site has an angled entry and so narrow is amazing, no need for it at all.
