The bellowing of the European deer or red deer occurs every year in early autumn.

Enjoying this natural spectacle, in which male deer emit characteristic guttural sounds to attract females, has become a common practice for curious travelers

passionate about nature

.

The campsites offer these adventurers the possibility of experiencing the bellowing on the front line, resting and continuing to enjoy nature, since the ideal times to see and listen to the deer are

at sunset

and the hours before sunrise.

These are five campsites from the Pitchup.com platform that, due to their location, are unique to enjoy the experience.

Monfragüe National Park (Extremadura)



Family-run and with more than 20 years of experience, the Parque Natural de Monfragüe campsite is located in the middle of a biosphere reserve near the town of

Malpartida de Plasencia

, in Cáceres, and only 20 minutes from the Parque Nacional de Monfrague.

With sports areas and two outdoor swimming pools, this campsite has a program of activities that range from children's games to tours of rural trails.

Sierra de Cebollera (Castilla y León)

Ideal for families, the Entrerrobles campsite is located at the foot of the Sierra de Cebollera, a privileged place in Soria where you can experience the bellowing firsthand.

Located next to the Sazón river valley, this accommodation allows you to walk through beautiful forests made up of oak, beech and pine trees.

sunken town of La Muedra or take a free tour of the Roman ruins at the
