  • Dog-friendly wooded valley two kilometres from Villasur de Herreros
  • Half an hour's drive from the spectacular UNESCO city of Burgos
  • Restaurant serving Castile and Leon cuisine; bar with spacious terrace
Demand a stay here as soon as humanly poss. For the Spanish site of Camping Puerta de la Demanda is in a tiptop spot, half an hour's drive from the fab old city of Burgos, and a couple of kilometres from the spectacular views of the Uzquiza reservoir. It's also (yes, this is a tiptop spot), within easy reach of the Arlanzón river, for long lazy days of boating on its calm waters, and 20 minutes from the UNESCO-listed Atapuerca Archeological Site, the biggest archaeological site in the world. (If you're hunting history of any kind, this region is the place to be, as Castile and Leon has more medieval castles than anywhere else in Europe.) The dog-friendly site is in a valley of oak, beech and pine trees, a couple of kilometres from the municipality of Villasur de Herreros and two and a half hours south of Santander. It's a top spot for digging into Castile and Leon culture too, as the restaurant dishes up a fine selection of traditional regional cuisine, and the bar with spacious terrace is the place for sipping a Spanish beer and drinking in the countryside views. A mini market stocked with daily essentials is also on site, along with good general amenities including a launderette and washing-up area, free hot showers, toilets and disabled facilities.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Great site in a stunning location and with plenty of facilities that are of a very high-standard. There are also walks, too, and a cafe on site, though I was there out of season and this had, understandably, limited working hours. Also, I underestimated how long my journey there would take, suggested to the site I would arrive at six then arrive past 9 pm. The man on reception had waited for my arrival and then made sure to settle me in and took the time to detail the facilities. I'd love to return to this site in season (and probably in a camper instead of a tent).

Disliked: The tent pitches are set in an open space and on hard, rocky ground, so I had a hard time hammering in my tent pegs (a few went to their grave). Then the space leaves a tent exposed, and it was a particularly windy night that I stayed and the lack of shelter from the wind tested the limits of my poorly secured tent (due to not being able to get all tent pegs into the ground).

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked: Great site, friendly staff and very helpful. Clean and tidy. Great bar that serves lovely tapas which are large portions. Great facilities: shower block, washing machine, outdoor pool. Very peaceful site. Nearest village is 2km. They are very proud of the automatic WC cassette clear, for €2 (collect token from reception) great idea and should have them everywhere.

Disliked: Bar closed on a Wednesday for Family/Rest day for staff.

Local attractions

One early stop should be the Atapuerca Archeological Site, one of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Castile and Leon. Covering almost 300 hectares, its caves make up one of the earliest records of humans on the planet, from nearly a million years ago. Group tours to Atapuerca leave from the Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos: check times before leaving as tours aren't regular. As well as arranging your archaelogical trip, you must surely also sort a day to sightsee in Burgos, the medieval city that's the historic capital of Castile. Its UNESCO site is the spectacular Cathedral of Burgos, started in the 13th century; other sights include the Museum of Burgos and the Fadrique de Basilea Book Museum, as well as the plenty of pretty parks along the banks of the Arlanzón. Camping Puerta de la Demanda is also within easy reach of the local via verde for biking and hiking, and close to several other trails and paths: ask the team for info and tips.
