Coming from north east Scotland we prefer to fly and rent accommodation near Malaga. Very reasonable for a month or more.
Weather has been around 20deg or just below in January with odd poor day.
We have looked at numerous sites around Malaga City and along coast both directions as well as inland. We have not found any of a standard we'd be relaxed on for a long stay. They tend to be Tarmac areas with units cheek by jowl. Not at all like pleasant ACSI sites in France and Northern Spain.
We will follow this topic with interest so please update with experiences.

Oops! Sorry about mis-posting, pressed wrong button by mistake. In reply to Oxter, most sites in the south of Spain are gravelled, because it's too hot and dry for grass, but I've never seen a tarmac one - surely it would melt in summer! There are plenty of grassy sites on the Northern coast (the Atlantic) because the rainfall is higher, and also on the Costa Brava as it's not as hot and dry as the south.

But the good news is that there are plenty of excellent, spacious ACSI sites with roomy pitches, especially in those coastal areas that are less built-up and more attractive than the Malaga area. For example, Los Escullos in the Cabo de Gata, Los Madriles in Murcia, Ribamar near Alcossebre and Pinar San Jose on the Costa de la Luz.

But it's still worth staying on a less-attractive site for a short time in order to see interesting places in the area, like Malaga itself, Antequera, Archidona, El Torcal, Nerja, Frigiliana etc.
