Camping Playa Arenillas

Proximity to Brittany Ferries terminal at Bilbao

Scruffy appearance. Approx two thirds of the pitches are taken up by seasonal pitches. Many of the caravans on these pitches appeared to be either abandoned or in a poor condition.

Small pitches. The pitch was only just wide enough for the caravan and awning and only just long enough for our 7.5m caravan. Deep gully across the entrance to all pitches which had to be boarded to allow the jockey wheel to traverse.

No space for the car which we parked on a neighbouring vacant pitch

The pitch was far from level and we ended up with blocks under the rear steadies and one wheel raised 10cm on our Lock ‘n Level.

The EHU points required a EU plug converter (which we had brought with us fortunately) however the power tripped just with the load from the caravan fridge. Campsite staff eventually let us plug into another EHU point which had enough power to run the fridge but not the Alde hot water.

Expensive site shop.

Shower block was in a poor state of repair.

Nice views

Camp was very tight to enter from a steep hill with a sharp turn to the right to tight for twin axle caravans

Toilets were very dated and needed revamping

Pitches to small for 8mtr caravans

Sehr Saubere Santiäranlagen

Beach, bus stop and restaurant/bar nearby. Restaurant staff were pleasant and food was reasonably priced.

We loved how close it was to the beaches, the shop and cafe was wonderful and the staff very friendly. The facilities especially the baby bath was much appreciated.

The playground could do with an upgrade as there were some loose bits there that my kids hurt themselves on. Also there was a lot of rubbish in the bushes and plastic, but otherwise the place was clean and services were fabulous.

Easy, friendly check in
Clean shower blocks

Very noisy

Very calm , almost park (arboretum ) like feel
