Camping Spot Description
A nice flat camping area adjacent to a water viaduct and a hilltop with spectacular views over the Embalse de Negratin ( Lake Negratin ). The water in the viaduct is unsuitable for drinking but fine for a wash. Continuing along the track you can walk up to the top of Cerro Jabalcon ( literally Jabalcon Hill ), although we didn't do this and is may be a long and difficult to follow route.
Getting There
Directions: 
From Zujar head down the main street and continue on the road out towards the lake. After 5 KMs or so you will pass Los Baños de Zújar ( thermal sping baths ). A little further on the road forks back on itself with a sign for Cerro Jabalcon ( see photo ). This is the turn. The camping spot is about 1-2KM up the track.
Access: 
No problems, even for fairly large vehicles.
