The Pineta Valley is a stunning, dead end valley just below Mt Perdido and before the tunnel over to France. The setting is amazing with steep valley sides on either side of the campsite.  

The campsite itself is below the road on the side of the valley, just above the river.  We received a friendly welcome in the bar / restaurant area when we arrived.  There is usually a little reception kiosk outside, but this wasn't open as it wasn't peak season when we arrived.  There is a small, adequately stocked supermarket on-site and from July onwards they have a swimming pool.  This was being cleaned ready for high season when we were there and it looked like it would be beautiful with lawns around it for sunbathing.  It was so hot while we were there though we could have done with it opening a week or so earlier!  One of the main paths up the valley passes through the campsite so it was great being able to set off for a walk without setting foot on the road.  

The site is arranged along long terraced 'roads' with all the pitches marked out by trees.  This made for a lovely shady setup.  We chose a pitch far away from the reception where it looked like it would be quiet, which it was for most of our stay.  We had a clean and functional toilet block close to hand even though we were right on the far edge of the site.  Loads of the pitches were taken up by the typical seasonal Spanish set-ups with the little kitchen huts etc but the site was still fine for more short term visitors like us.  There was a good mix of nationalities and set-ups (although we were the only Brits there for the week we stayed).  The only problem we had was when a really noisy, large family pitched up next to us, but that was only for one night.

We ate at the bar a couple of times & had the set menu which was fantastic value at I think 13 euros each for a full meal, bottle of wine between you and bottled water.  However, the best food was just the bar food which was amazing.  We had to eat in the bar as we had thunder storms in the evening a couple of nights which was amazing with the clouds coming through the valley and waterfalls suddenly appearing on the valley sides.

I had stayed in this valley over 20 years ago at the now closed campsite at the top of the valley & had always wanted to come back.  This site did not disappoint.

Beautiful setting & a warm welcome

Beautifully situated in the middle of Valle de Pineta near Monte Perdido. Spacious places. Clean toilet facilities, just a bit outdatet. Nice swimming pool. Great supermarket (just as good as the ones in the village). Good restaurant. Lots of possibilities for hiking. 

Just one negative remark: they claim to have free WiFi; you actually get a signal but the speed is so low that there factually is NO WiFi.

Beautiful camp site in the most beautiful part of the Pyrenees

Nice, peacefull spot. Shades for tents. Clean fascilities. Friendly staff. Nice and sometimes even lively restaurant / bar. Unheated swimmingpool is the only negative tjing we can say! Highly recommended! 

Base camp

The restaurant is a good quality-price deal. The food is good solid fare, and the menú del día is €13, an excellent deal for where you are, up in the Pineta valley. The servings are big. My wife had the trout with ham, which she thought was excellent. They also have roast lamb on the menú, which we didn't get, but it looked very good if you like that kind of dish. We sat on the terrace outside in the back with very nice views. The waiters were young and friendly

We highly recommend the restaurant, especially in comparison with the €33 menú del día up the hill at the parador. This is the only place you can get a sit-down meal between Bielsa and the parador. When coming from Bielsa follow the signs that say "Parador de Monte Perdido" and the campground/restaurant is about halfway up the road.

We didn't stay here, but we ate at the restaurant

Positive:
- you can choose your own spot
- nice places with grass 
- very friendly staff at reception
- good camping store
- Nice and calm camping. 
- Nice view in the middle of the mountains
Negative:
- Food in the restaurant is very disappointing. The menu said 'chicken breast' and I got a fried piece of chicken instead. Not tasty at all. My husband took the steak, it was full of bones and fat. 
- Lots of mosquitos in the evening.
- almost no shade at the swimming pool
- I can't say the toilets and showers were not clean but there was always this smell in that area.

Nice and calm camping in the middle of the mountains

The reception itself was lovely. They helped us really well, they showed us our place... 

Everything was great until we went to the bar. We wanted to command something to drink but they refused to look at us. When we asked if we could command something they answered in a very angry way and went further to the next table.

I'm not pleased with this. You can't just skip us because we are not from spain.
