Grass pitches on site (added by manager 29 Jul 2022)

Smart family-friendly site with pools on Spain's Cantabrian coast
A five-minute walk to the beach and 20 minutes' drive to Santander
Kids' pool and playground; coffee shop, restaurant and supermarket

Get over to Green Spain for grand times by the sea… make no mistake, this part of Cantabria in northern Spain is very green. It can also get very Spanish scorchio, so on the bright, smart site of Camping Virgen del Mar five minutes’ walk from the beach, you’ll be glad of the sea breezes rustling through the surrounding woods. There’s a reassuring attention to detail throughout this family-friendly spot, with flowers, trees and lawns all carefully tended to wander and laze among. Facilities include a pool, a supermarket for supplies, communal barbecue areas, and, when the idea of outdoor grilling doesn’t get your pulse racing, a café and restaurant for easy eats. Keeping the kids content, there’s a separate pool alongside the main one for smaller splashers, a well-equipped playground and in the woods around the site, and some thousand-odd different species of wildlife to spot. That should keep them busy… For quick dips and clambers on the rocks, it’s a five-minute walk from here to the little beach on the Isola del Virgen. Bigger stretches are just round the coast at Playa de San Juan de la Canal (10 minutes) and at Playa de la Canallave (20 minutes); the latter is surrounded by a dune reserve that’s fab for family rambles.

Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Small but workable pitches… bigger pitches at top end of camp.

Paella amazing in on site restaurant, order in advance.

Ice cold beer in the bar, bar staff don’t talk much english but very friendly.

Beach is bigger than it looks from car park, get down and explore it.

Pool was beautiful, great way to cool of.

Nice cheap coffee and pastry in bar on a morning.

Sitio tranquilo...buen paisaje tranquilo...

Power optional grass campsite

Liked: Staff all very friendly. Onsite restaurant was good.

Disliked: The site is next door to an open sir music venue. Sadly there was a music concert on the day we arrived, it started at 17:00 and continued until 03:00! The stage was about 200m from us, no way could we sleep through that, luckily it was only on one night. Many other concerts planned throughout the year. I really think this should be mentioned in their advertising to forewarn people. The services weren't very good, no hooks/shelf/stool in the showers nowhere to put your clothes. Although they were cleaned regularly they were always covered in hair. Pitches were really small, nothing between them, hardly room to put the awning out, very cramped.

Liked: Nos gustó muchísimo. Estuvimos muy agusto. El entorno precioso y la playa perfecta para estar con niños pequeños cuando la marea está baja por la mañana. Cerca de cabarceno y de pueblos muy bonitos. Lo único malo que tiene es que no admiten perros. Y por poner una pega, uno de los camareros era bastante borde Pero todo en general muy bien. Camping pequeño y acogedor

Local attractions

If you’re seriously into beach and watery activities, seek out Salvé (45 minutes' drive away) for its long stretches of sands and watersports galore. If you’re more of a mooch-and-see sort, just walk or drive and keep your eyes open; at conservative estimates, Cantabria’s coast has 60 beaches. For walks inland, the nature trails of the Cabárceno Natural Park (20 minutes) are good for a half-day adventure; many visitors combine wildlife rambles with a trip to see the really wild life in the two adjacent safari parks and zoo. Though manmade and involving the sinking of several villages, the Ebro reservoir (an hour) has become a beauty spot and destination for hikers, boat cruisers and windsurfers. Sometimes dismissed as a busy port, Santander (20 minutes) has a calming seafront park and popular beaches; surfers head to Sardinero when the waves are right, sightseers to the striking Catedral de la Asunción and snackers to the bars and eateries dishing up fresh seafood. An hour and 15 minutes away, Bilbao is worth the trip for its Guggenheim Museum (and the building it's housed in), its two museums devoted to Basque culture and history, and the cliffs and beach just outside at Getxo.
