Camping Playa Arenillas

Liked A convenient stop over close to the ferry ports.

Disliked We stopped on the last two days of the season so it was quiet. The site would be very cramped during peak and there are quite a few long term set ups which we think makes it look untidy. Pitches are just big enough for a 8m motorhome

Liked Loved this site, very simple but great location. Site had everything I needed very friendly and clean with nice shady pitches and a stroll to the beach, amazing when the tide is out and a great beach bar

Liked Excellent facilities, very clean and modern. Lovely welcome at reception. Excellent beaches, great for swimming. Close to a couple of friendly bars and restaurants. Good to see paddle boards and surf boards for hire, even though we didn't make use of them on this occasion.

Disliked The layout of the site felt crowded and untidy, although we did have a very good size pitch with water and electricity close by. Shop had limited stock, could have been better as there wasn't a supermarket anywhere close by.

Liked Camping met veel vaste plekken. Je kan allerlei plaatsen bezoeken op vrij korte afstand bezoeken. (fiets of eigen auto). Vriendelijke mensen in omgeving. Uitzicht op de bergen. Zeer nette en schone toiletten en douches. Handig restaurantje waar je prima kunt eten of bijv. je sangria besteld om mee te nemen naar de tent. Porties bij het restaurant waren behoorlijk groot. Mooie maar zeer kleine baai met klein strandje is op loopafstand.

Disliked Iets krappe plek waarbij je de auto over een regengeul moet rijden. Dakplatanen fijn voor de schaduw maar daardoor de tent nu volledig gespikkeld. Er zaten beestjes in de bomen, o.a. een soort kleine wantsen welke overal op zaten en wat ook wat jeukbultjes veroorzaakte.

Liked La ubicación del camping es excelente, tienes a 5 minutos la calla y locales para tomar algo con vistas al mar.

Disliked Las horas de silencio no se respetan mucho. Los aseos cerca de la recepción están bastante sucios, se pueden ver telarañas por todos los baños.

Liked Location, proximity to the beach! Clean shower/toilet blocks and friendly staff (cleaners) Friendly site (mainly Spanish patrons and welcoming).

Disliked Pitches are too small. Feel a bit hemmed in but you get used to it. Quite noisy, 11 o clock noise curfew not adhered to. Not the most friendly welcome on reception- we weren’t given a map or any information about the site or area.

Liked Only 200metre walk from my tent to top of the lovely beach, so could carry surfboard or paddle board without having to pump it up at the beach or drive and find a parking space. Bar/restaurant very popular with locals as well as customers of the site. Reasonable prices. Toilets were kept very clean all day. Very friendly hardworking cleaners. Friendly office staff speak good English and were helpful. On site shop had decent stock.

Disliked Pitches seemed a bit cramped. My car and tent only just fitted on. Customers with some caravans had to park outside the site. Compared to UK, there does not seem to be the same “safety” distance between unit. Price was a little excessive for a single person with a tent, but I did have electric, though it was low amps. They probably charged the same regardless of how many people were in the tent or caravan. Not much else near the site, so for general location, I have to mark down

Liked Location close to ferry ports of Bilbao and Santander.

Disliked Small pitches. Very narrow tracks around the site. With our caravan (7.4m) needed to be very careful entering the site and navigating all turns around the site. Chemical waste disposal poor, and I never found a grey waste water disposal area. Two large bins for waste plastic and paper, but (if you can find them) very small bins for other waste disposal. The camp shop had no prices marked on anything and was very expensive compared to other campsite shops in Spain. I could be wrong, but I got the impression that the total cost was made up on the spot. Lots of weeds around the site so it appeared that it was not very well cared for. My impression is that the site management have forgotten that this if the 21st century. Not recommended,

Liked Pitches were great

Disliked Access to the site and exit from the site are difficult and I smashed the waste water pipe off the van on the exit bump.
