General
- A minute's walk from a sandy surfing beach
- Immaculately-maintained facilities
- Playground, shop and bar-restaurant with roomy terrace
Right by the sea near Islares in Cantabria lies , an easy 100 metres from a sandy beach with waves that are a foolproof spot for surfing: if you've never plunged into the foam before, a surf school (with kit hire) is right next to the site to show you which way up to clutch your board.
The site has a playground, football pitch, ping pong tables and a snack bar-restaurant with a large terrace and extensive menu of Spanish and international options. There's also a small shop selling essentials including fresh bread and newspapers, and fruit and veg stalls every day.
Playa Arenillas's old-school but immaculately clean amenities include two toilet blocks with free hot showers, and a laundrette with washing machines, tumble dryers and ironing facilities. Internet is available on the site free of charge.
Open from 01/04/2017 to 30/09/2017

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.

Location
From Bilbao - take the A8 to Santander. Pass Castro Urdiales and take Exit 156 to Islares. The campsite is signposted 500 metres after the motorway exit.
From Santander - take the A8 towards Bilbao and come off at Islares. Islares is 50km from Santander, just after Laredo.
Local attractions
The beach in front of is popular with families because of its clean and shallow waters, and with surfers for its waves and its surf school with equipment hire. Check on tide times from the campsite team when planning your beach time, as the sands are covered with water for a few hours each day.
Hiking and cycling trails, boat trips and 4x4 tours are all available nearby for outdoorsy days, or you could amble around Cabarceno Natural Park, in an old tin mine in the Pisueña Valley. The Bizkaia or El Karpin Ecological Park, a wild animal shelter with added dinosaurs, is within driving distance.
If you're a subterranean sort, you're in luck, as Cantabria has over 9000 caves dotted under its surface. A few close to the campsite are the Cave of El Castillo at nearby Puente Viesgo; the cave paintings of the Cueva de las Monedas, and the caves – and caving expeditions – of the mountainous Alto Asón.

No puedo comprender como en el apartado "Accomodation" ha dado puntuación tan baja, cuando nuestras parcelas son amplias(60-70 m2), con cesped y buen arbolado.
En el capitulo "Actividades", también puntuación baja.Nosotros nunca hemos ofertado actividades en el camping y menos en esta época del año.En el Norte de España, en pocos campings dispondrán de entretenimientos para los campistas.
En lo referente a limpieza tampoco lo entiendo, cuando es raro el día que algún cliente no nos felicita por la limpieza y el orden.
Wifi, también puntuación bajísima.Tal vez tenga razón que en algún momento la conexión va un poco lenta, pero estamos en un medio rural y las compañías teléfonicas no dan el servicio que quisieramos,Un problema que los particulares no podemos solucionar.
En cuanto a la posoibilidad de vaciar las aguas grises, el camping dispone de dos cabinas para vaciar y limpiar los contenedores de aguas grises y negras, y dos plataformas para autocaravanas para vaciar directamente sus aguas y llenar su depósito.
Este cliente ha estado en el camping, pero ni ha leido el folleto informativo que se le entrega a la entrada, ni tampoco ha preguntado en recepción por las instalaciones.
De acuerdo que la entrada al camping hay que hacerla con cuidado por ser un poco pendiente, pero en 50 años que llevamos en el camping, nunca hemos tenido un problema.Repito, lo bello del camping es que esté en un medio rural alejado de la urbe, y eso puede tener algún inconveniente.
