Camping Nauta, a long-standing holiday destination in Tenerife, continues to attract visitors decades after its establishment in 1989.
Located in Arona, in the south of the island, the campsite has become a familiar name for both residents and travelers, known for its combination of affordability, accessibility, and range of facilities catering to different types of campers.
Occupying a site along the TF-653 road at kilometer 1.5, Camping Nauta can accommodate up to 6,000 guests, offering 2,500 pitches for tents, 250 spaces for caravans, and 40 wooden cabins. Its amenities include showers, a swimming pool, a laundry service, a supermarket, and a bar.
Since opening more than three decades ago, the site has positioned itself as a destination where “everything you need is in one place,” according to its long-standing slogan.
The property was developed to combine the relaxed atmosphere of camping with conveniences typically found in hotel-style accommodations.
This mix has helped maintain its popularity across generations of visitors who recall spending summers and holidays at the site. The cabins—among its most recognizable features—have become a nostalgic symbol for many island residents.
Pricing remains one of the campground’s main draws. The cabins, which can house up to four guests, are available from 45 euros per night. The site’s management has kept its rates accessible since opening, reflecting a commitment to affordability for both local families and visiting travelers.
According to Tenerife Weekly, procedures at Camping Nauta have largely remained consistent since the 1990s. Upon arrival, guests check in at reception, present identification, and pay in advance.
The campground enforces quiet hours between midnight and 8 a.m., during which loud activities and gatherings are restricted.
For operators and business owners in the outdoor hospitality sector, Camping Nauta represents a case study in long-term sustainability through steady pricing, facility maintenance, and intergenerational appeal.
Its ability to balance nostalgia with consistent service delivery demonstrates how established parks can retain loyal customers while maintaining relevance in a competitive tourism market.
More than 35 years since opening, Camping Nauta remains one of the most popular and enduring campsites in the Canary Islands, continuing to serve as a reference point for affordable, family-friendly outdoor accommodation in Tenerife.
