Positiv Quiet site (in late May) with some lovely animals in the big pen.

Negativ The climb to the facilities (I have a damaged knee). I ordered breakfast but they didn't write my order down - and yes, I speak French.

Positiv Big and lots of facilities. A bit care-worn but that was charming rather than annoying. The restaurant was good. Reasonably handy for the bus into the city.

Positiv Very convenient location, close to beaches and the Praia As Catedrais. We ate in the restaurant, which was very friendly and with good food.

Negativ The pitches were a little bit tight, but as ours was a campervan pitch I guess that is what you'd expect.

Positiv Generous pitches in groups of 4-5. The cafeteria was closed but the hotel bar was excellent. There is fresh running spring water on site. Very convenient for the local shops and restaurants.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you John, see you soon at The Gatinelles !

Positiv This was one of about 8 stops on my trip. This site had a very laid back atmosphere, so much so that I couldn't find reception and the site manager appeared from nowhere to check me in. The site is quirky, but the facilities are good and clean. The bar/restaurant was fine, although the menu was quite basic. The cachopa I ate was enormous!

Negativ The cafe didn't open as promised in the morning, so I missed my coffee. It's a car-ride to the city.

Positiv This was one of about 8 stops I made. It was one of the better ones. I liked the easy check-in, free choice of pitch, availability of pitches, and the clean facilities. Access to the city by bus was simple.

Positiv Les Acacias is a charming, quiet and typically French site. It has a boules area, a small shop and the facilities are clean and well maintained. This was my/our fourth stay. It is handy for the cycle track which goes along the coast. It's handy fir Vieux Boucau with its street markets and Messanges with its nice eateries.

Negativ Nothing.

Positiv This is a lovely quiet site in a good location for cycling, the supermarket and getting into Vieux Boucau.

Positiv As ever, we enjoyed this site. The facilities are good. The bar and little supermarket are good too. The views from the site are impressive. Having a bus terminate at the site is excellent.

Negativ They really should have soap in the loos. When my wife and her sister tried to check in they were shooed away.

Positiv Our third stop here. It's a lovely campsite with a real buzz. A bit of a 1970s feel to it, but it's clean and well maintained. The shop and restaurant are excellent, and the site has a good bar. The beach is a 5 minute walk, though better at low tide. Handy for Bilbao and Santander.

Negativ Nothing...

Positiv We'd dropped the kids at the airport the day we arrived here. It's a quirky campsite in all respects. Little pitches perched on the hillside for surfers. Bigger pitches in the river valley for tourers and long-stay. They park your caravan for you - you will soon see why. Toilet blocks built into the cliff face with rock walls! Mostly the clientele is Spanish, but there were kids and adults there from several countries. If you like the busy Cornish surf sites you'll love this one. The shop sells a few essentials, but don't expect it to be like Waitrose! You can eat in the cafeteria, but it's pretty basic. Walk to nearly Pendueles to go to the tiny but well stocked supermarket or to get the bus to Llanes. Also walk to the Buffones...

Negativ It was a bit pricey, when they added the cost of an empty tent we used for storage. The pitch was too small for our sheltaPod.

Positiv The site is small and sheltered. It's a mixture of cabins and touring pitches. The cafe and shop are very good, because they server the village and passing pilgrims as well as campers. The shower blocks are old(ish) but very well maintained. The kids liked the upstairs games room. The nature of the site and the popularity of the cafe mean the adults are in the bar till late - a really good buzz. The kids play late too, but it is Spain, so you expect late nights. It's a 15 minute but very pretty walk to the beach, and a walk round the village is a must.

Negativ Nothing - it was perfect.

Positiv Handy when you arrive two hours late into Santander, as we did. We only stayed a couple of nights but we were very impressed with the almost new toilet blocks which were kept very clean. The higher pitches are well sheltered (but see dislikes). The site had a reasonable cafe and shop. The neighbouring Mirador Hotel did a file evening meal. The beach was only a minute's walk away, and it's one which doesn't completely submerge at high tide.

Negativ The way a freak gust of wind scooped round the rock face behind our van and broke our awning - though I can't blame the site for this. It damaged the heavyweight awnings on the seafront bar too!

Positiv The friendly owners. The quiet. The access to country as well as beach. The cycle paths.

Negativ Some kids need to stop racing round the site on their bikes.
