  • Quiet campsite in a rural area close to the source of the Asón river
  • Surrounded by caves; within an hour's drive of Santander and Bilbao
  • On-site café and restaurant for meals and snacks
Located in the peaceful area of Ramales de la Victoria, close to the border between Cantabria and the Basque Country, Camping Ramales is a pleasant spot set over three hectares with well-maintained amenities and easy access to the surrounding countryside. Half of this green and rural site is made up of native woodland, with chestnut, hazel, oak and beech trees, so there are plenty of peaceful shaded areas and lots of wildlife waiting to be explored. As you emerge from the trees, you'll be treated to spectacular mountain views, while a ​few metres away there is also the river Asón, where local kids head to paddle in the summer. With scenery like this, you'll have plenty of choice when it comes to finding a picnic spot… Carrying on along the river bank, you can either head to the source of the Asón river or stroll into the centre of Ramales de la Victoria, an attractive little town with lots of grand colonial-era houses, several well-reviewed restaurants and a handful of food shops and supermarkets if you need to stock up on essential supplies. You can also stick around on site to eat, though, as Camping Ramales has a café and restaurant for drinks and snacks closer to home.

Local attractions

The landscape surrounding Ramales de la Victoria is dotted with mountains and caves. Take a hike up to the top of the Pico del Carlista mountain (20 minutes' drive) and visit the spectacular Pozalagua caves or stick to the caverns and viewpoints around town like the Covalanas caves (10 minutes), where you can explore prehistoric cave paintings on guided tours. The local area is also known for its adventurous side, with potholing, climbing, canoeing and via ferrata high ropes trails all on offer close by (ask your hosts for more details). Other less adrenaline-fuelled attractions can also be found in the surrounding countryside, though, with popular choices including the lovely Santuario de la Bien Aparecida church (25 minutes) and BBK Karpin Fauna (20 minutes), an animal shelter. Camping Ramales also has the benefit of being close to northern Spain's big port cities like Santander (50 minutes) and Bilbao (an hour). The former is less of a tourist hotspot than the latter, although it's still worth making the trip for walks along the Paseo de Pereda with its gorgeous views over the Atlantic, or for lazy days on its several sandy beaches.

Power optional grass tent or campervan site

Liked Great site, lovely staff. Bar and restaurant were fantastic. The facilities were lovely and really clean. The site was lovely with lots of walks nearby especially along the river to the local town which had lots of bars, shops and restaurants.

Disliked Just to note: the pitches were quite uneven and even more so after 2 days of heavy rain so make sure you have levelling ramps or similar!

Andrew B.

Power optional grass tent or campervan site

Liked A remarkable little site set in picture perfect mountain setting. Glorious. The site is relatively small with flat pitches for campervans and motorhomes, a dell for tents and bungalows for the less hardy, all set amongst trees and stony outcrops.
The site has a lovely restaurant in an Alpine like lodge with a small shop and comfortable sitting area. The staff were excellent, accompanying us to our pitch on arrival and professional service in the restaurant. Washing facilities were spacious, clean and very well maintained.
But it's outside where the site comes alive, the views!

Disliked Bathroom floor became a bit slippery with condensation.

Power optional grass tent or campervan site

Liked Vriendelijkheid van en behulpzaamheid van het uitbaters-team. Het restaurant, erg lekker en betaalbaar.
Sanitair blits schoon en uitstekend onderhouden. Men voelt zich als gast erg welkom.
De omgeving van Ramales is iets voor mensen die van groen houden en graag hun hart ophalen met bergwandelingen, rust en natuur. Ramales zelf is rijk aan winkeltjes, bars en restaurants. Suppermarkt erg goed bereikbaar.

Disliked Onze gereserveerde standplaats was brutaal bezet door een wildparkeerder, een duidelijker "gereserveerd" aanwijzing zou dit soort voorvallen kunnen vermijden.
