The accommodation at the Gredos Multi-Adventure Camp is not a hostel: it consists of tents within a municipal facility purpose-built for residential camps. Located at AV-941, km 21.5, Hoyos del Collado (Ávila), in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos, this is the feature that most distinguishes this camp from others in the group.
Where It Is
The facility is in Hoyos del Collado, in the province of Ávila, within the Sierra de Gredos. Access is via the AV-941, km 21.5. It is 2 minutes from the village centre, where local services are concentrated. The site is a municipal facility with exclusive use for residential camps: its zones, access routes and dining area are all designed for groups of 40–50 children and young people.
Camping Areas
Tree-lined and Illuminated
The camping areas are set on wooded plots with night-time lighting. The natural shade is built into the site’s layout, helping participants rest during warm days.
3–4-Person Tents
Non-mixed tents for 3–4 people, grouped by age. Participants share a tent with members of their own group and activity leaders.
Separate Toilet Blocks
Male and female toilet blocks, separated, with individual showers. Accessible from the camping areas within a short walk.
Covered Outdoor Dining Area
The dining area is outdoors but covered: a coherent solution for the setting, allowing all four daily meals to be served without the need for an enclosed building.
