  • Close to the beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris: shuttle available
  • On-site snack bar specialising in seafood paella
  • Seasonal pool, play area and market selling fresh bread and pastries
A seafood paella speciality – in Spain – by the coast in Cantabria – how splendid. Aim to spend mucho time in the snack bar of Camping Cabo De Ajo on your Spanish seaside holiday, for this is where cuisine-curious guests can sample said seafood paella as well as other treats like fried calamari and homemade pizza to have on the spacious terrace or indoors. Off site, it's about a kilometre and a half from Camping Cabo De Ajo to the spectacular beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris – and a free shuttle service runs from site to sands every day in July and August if you a) can't be faffed stirring that far on foot, or b) are laden with bucket and spade, games, towel, picnic basket and other beach-based paraphernalia. For day trips and city sightseeing, local town Ajo is 40 minutes' drive from Cantabrian capital Santander, and around an hour and 20 minutes in the other direction to Bilbao. Leisure facilities on site include an outdoor pool and a paddling pool, a playground and a games room. For the essentials, there are toilet blocks with free hot showers, a launderette and chemical disposal. The supermarket sells fresh bread and pastries, groceries, fruit and veg, and newspapers.

Liked View.
Electricity.

Disliked Toilets with no toilet roll or hand soap, no one at reception, calling to gain entry & having no one who understands.
No one answering the main phone line on arrival when door was locked during opening hours.
Bar/restaurant is more like a social club for the many many permanent residents & seconds as a storage unit for the toilet paper, hand towel that isn’t in the toilet blocks…. We didn’t risk eating there. Very expensive at €38 for one night.
The two German shepherds locked up in a tiny space all day & night for security. I suppose I should be glad they had a dog hut & weren’t chained up….

No I wouldn’t stay there again.

Liked Nothing. Very disappointed. Just a scruffy field with long grass. Random electric points. Poor toilets. Only stayed because we were catching the ferry the following morning.

Power optional grass motorhome site

Liked Very peaceful. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers nearby but could walk up to the bigger block. They couldn't have been more helpful.

Disliked We were too far away from Santander and the taxi would have been at least €50 each way.

If you are desperate for somewhere to stay overnight, maybe. But...

Local attractions

Surfing, windsurfing, and fishing are among the watery activities available at the beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris, a short stroll or quick shuttle bus ride from the park. Snorkelling, canoeing and more surfing can all be arranged along the coast at Noja, about 15 kilometres to the east. The site team reckons guests in this part of Cantrabria should have a day or several in Cabárceno Nature Park, 30 kilometres from Ajo, to sightsee around its safari park setting for critters including ostriches, elephants, bears and rattlesnakes. Closer to home, the Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Nature Park is a popular spot for birdwatching and more nature spotting, among its migrating birds and marine animals. Within an hour's drive are the world-famed Altamira Caves in Santillana del Mar, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Subterranean sorts can also mosey along to El Soplao, to see its stalactites, stalagmites, minerals and fossils, or to take the mining train for a complete tour. And yet another must-see in the region are the rock formations of the Ojerada, near the lighthouse of Cabo de Ajo: follow the signs to the lighthouse then turn right. The Magdalena Palace and beaches of Santander are within 40 kilometres of the site.
