More than a campsite, I'd say it's a recreational area for picnicking. It has children's games, a water fountain, and tables.

La Puebla de Valverde is a Spanish municipality and a small fortified town with 465 inhabitants (as of 2024). The town is located approximately 20 km southeast of Teruel, south of the Escandón Pass. The road from Teruel to the Mediterranean coast originally ran through the town, but now bypasses it. At La Puebla de Valverde, the road to Mora de Rubielos turns off. The town is situated on a broad, elongated hill facing west-east. The city walls have been preserved. The town was founded as part of the Reconquista in the 13th century and was first mentioned in 1265. It was located on the Camino Real to Valencia and served to protect the southern border of Aragon against the then still Muslim Kingdom of Valencia.
