Low-Cost Camping Spots to Travel This Summer in Spain

If you love sleeping under the stars, it's no coincidence: it makes you feel free, connects you to your spiritual side, and leaves you in a total state of peace. Moreover, unlike many things in life, you can enjoy it without relying on the numbers in your bank account because it is very low cost. Yes, you only need a tent from Decathlon's 2 Seconds line, a desire to immerse yourself in nature, and a destination that truly rewards you. The first part is covered by Decathlon and its 2 Seconds, the tent that sets up itself in literally 2 seconds, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. You provide the second part. And for the third, keep reading because we'll share the top camping spots in Spain.

But first: when camping is easy

Some people are very handy and love the idea of setting up a great tent from scratch. Others do not. And if you fall into the latter group, you'll truly fall in love with the 2 Seconds: you can fold and unfold it with a button. That's it. You don't have to think twice about it. It also allows fresh air to flow in so that it doesn't turn into a disco bathroom, minimizing the night's humidity and preventing the sun's rays from scorching your face. Plus, you can easily take it to other countries where, unlike Spain, free camping is allowed.

If you want to see firsthand how everything works with the 2 Seconds, don't miss the Camping Experience that Decathlon will host throughout the United States. Here you can search for your city to mark the date on your calendar, go, recreate an escape into nature, and return with a master's degree in camping. Spring is here, and the city can become a bit unbearable. Having a good tent in your closet and solid knowledge in your head can bring you immense joy this summer. And now, here's the camping map we promised you:

Irati Forest - Arrazola (Navarra)

The Irati Forest is one of the most famous forests in the entire Iberian Peninsula. You've probably come across plenty of pictures on social media. 100%. It is completely dominated by the reds and oranges of autumn in the area. Spectacular. And yes, there is an area where you can camp. It only costs two dollars per person per night and has drinking water, restrooms, and a barbecue area. You can spend your afternoon among beeches, firs, and deer, return to camp exhausted, and in two seconds be asleep inside the tent. No complications. With total freedom.

Ermita Valdehierro (Toledo)

Are you in Madrid and looking for a quick getaway? In the province of Toledo, in the Sierra de Madridejos, there's a refuge in the middle of nowhere where you can camp. Plants everywhere. Incredible trails. And peace like you've rarely seen in your life. Without electricity, wifi, or anything. That's how you fully disconnect. Can you go solo? Of course, you can. No problem. But it's an environment where connecting with someone can be really profound. Your bestie. Your partner. Your dog. It's pet-friendly, and the 2 Seconds from Decathlon can fit two or three beings, depending on the model. Easy.

Las Acebeas (Jaén)

If you live in the south or really want to experience it, you can opt for the Las Acebeas camping area, located in the Sierra de Segura, a very special corner of Andalusia known for its wild holly population and humid, cool atmosphere. Ideal for this time of year. Plus, if you combine it with the 2 Seconds, which is designed with pro-cooling technology to help maintain a pleasant temperature inside, you might just find an escape that's incredibly rewarding. And don't miss out on visiting the towns in the area. Pure charm from Jaén.

Carrascal de la Font Roja (Alicante)

The Carrascal de la Font Roja Natural Park is for those who love adventure. It boasts a beautifully preserved Mediterranean forest and a great variety of hiking routes. It's worth taking the long hikes if necessary. Here, you do need to get permission from the Department of Environment of the Alcoy City Council. And you must be patient with the dates as the area is limited to 20 tents, and a lot of people want to go. But don't worry: the 2 Seconds features 4 layers that provide darkness and insulation. No one will disturb you.

Just know that it will be a really cool event with competitions on tent setup, rock climbing areas, workshops for making knots, and solving situations in the middle of nature, a surfing simulator, outdoor fitness classes, food trucks, and a DJ.
