Sierra Natura

A mountain naturist campsite in the Valencian hinterland, on the Caroig massif near Enguera, open all year round. Its most distinctive feature is the architecture: the pool, entrances, signs and some of the accommodation are moulded in concrete to imitate rock, with organic shapes that give the place a unique look. The pool has natural water oxygenated by a waterfall, with a separate children's pool, and there is a sauna and an indoor jacuzzi. The restaurant uses produce from its own organic vegetable garden and prepares traditional, vegetarian, vegan and coeliac menus. Everything else is simple and deliberately slow: shaded pitches among the pines with electricity and water points, masonry accommodation with their own names (Pino, Cuco, Olivo, Luna, Cabana...), a children's play area, wood-fired barbecues, boules, chess, a small shop and a wifi zone. Activities are outdoors and naturist in spirit: hikes on the massif, nudist running, river outings, ping-pong tournaments. Pets are allowed in the camping area and the minimum stay is two nights. Overall, visitors hold it in very high regard, but two recurring points in the criticism are worth knowing: nudity is strictly enforced, in the pool too and for children too, with reprimands that went down badly with those who weren't expecting them; and insects, inevitable in a Mediterranean forest, bother some guests. The access road is a narrow mountain road, to be considered carefully with very long vehicles.
