Four campsites in Málaga for travelling with your dog this summer

Travelling with a dog has become a priority for many families during the summer holidays. Pets are now one more member of the household, and more and more travellers are looking for accommodation where they can rest, walk and enjoy their break without leaving their animals behind.

In Málaga province, this trend has led to a growing range of pet-friendly accommodation, especially within the camping sector. These sites combine nature, open spaces and services designed to make stays easier for those travelling with dogs.

From the Sierra de las Nieves to the coast of Fuengirola, Torrox and Marbella, Málaga offers several options for those planning a getaway with their four-legged companion.

Camping Sierra de las Nieves, nature and cooler nights in Yunquera

Camping Sierra de las Nieves, located in Yunquera, is one of the most interesting alternatives for those who prefer to escape the heat of the beachfront and look for a more natural setting during the summer.

Set in the heart of the Sierra de las Nieves National Park, the complex offers different types of accommodation, from basic bungalows to premium options, as well as camping pitches and a large area for mobile homes.

One of its main attractions is that dogs are allowed in almost all types of accommodation, except the hostel. The main requirement is to pay special attention to hygiene in order to keep the campsite clean.

Its surroundings are another strong point: shaded areas, mountain air and direct access to forest trails, perfect for walking with your pet without needing to drive.

Camping El Pino, a getaway among avocado trees in Torrox

In the Axarquía area, Camping El Pino is another comfortable option for travelling with pets. This complex, located in Torrox, accepts animals all year round in bungalows, apartments and pitches.

The only type of accommodation where pets are not allowed is the glamping tents. For the rest of the stays, the campsite offers a practical alternative for those looking to combine relaxation, nature and proximity to the sea.

Its location on a hill planted with tropical trees and avocado trees, around 900 metres from Torrox Costa, provides a pleasant atmosphere and shaded areas, something especially important on the hottest days.

The campsite also offers leisure and entertainment activities for adults and children, many of them around the swimming pool, making it a family-friendly holiday option.

Costa del Sol Glamping Village, beach and city in Fuengirola

For those who prefer to stay close to the sea without giving up the urban atmosphere, Costa del Sol Glamping Village, in Fuengirola, is one of the most complete options. The complex is located just a few metres from the beach and very close to the town centre, making it possible to combine relaxation, leisure and walks by the Mediterranean.

Although pets are not allowed in all accommodation types, the site offers Neri bungalows, specially adapted for pet-friendly stays. These units include two bedrooms, a full bathroom and a terrace.

This accommodation option includes one pet at no extra cost, with the possibility of staying with up to three animals by paying an additional supplement. There is also a dog-friendly beach opposite the campsite, with a marked area and services such as showers.

For safety reasons, the complex requires guests to present each pet’s updated vaccination card at check-in.

Camping Cabopino, dog-friendly services beside Marbella’s pine forest

On the western Costa del Sol, Camping Cabopino, in Marbella, offers another alternative for travelling with dogs. The complex is located next to a protected pine forest and a short distance from Cabopino Marina, in an environment that combines nature and proximity to the coast.

Pets are only allowed in the Cabodog bungalows and on pitches, so it is advisable to check availability before booking. In the case of the cabins, a maximum of two animals are allowed, and the accommodation can be booked for groups of between four and eight people.

The campsite also has specific services for dogs, such as a dog exercise area and a pet shower, especially useful after a walk on the beach or through the countryside.

It also has a private club with different loyalty categories, among whose benefits is the possibility of adding a pet to a pitch booking throughout the year at no extra cost.

Check the rules before travelling

Although there are more and more options for travelling with pets, not all campsites apply the same conditions. Some restrict access to certain types of accommodation, others require updated veterinary documentation, and in many cases there may be supplements per animal.

For this reason, before booking it is advisable to review the specific rules of each establishment, confirm which areas are enabled for dogs and check whether there are restrictions by size, number of pets or season.

Travelling with a dog around Málaga is becoming easier, but good planning can make the difference between a comfortable getaway and a holiday full of unexpected problems.
