What customers say

Handy spot near a lovely beach and the Santander ferry. Clean site, friendly staff. Pool and restaurant good, though a bit dated for some. Grass pitches, some shady but can be tight. Good for quick trips, but a bit steep for longer stays.

David T.

Power optional grass site

Liked Location-close to Santander ferry port
Close to supermarket
Clean showers and toilets
Short walk to the beach
Good location for exploring northern Spain

Disliked Pitches are close together
Challenging to manoeuvre a caravan around the site, as access roads are narrow. Difficult to get onto pitch due to position of trees and closeness of anyone camping opposite.
If you don't have motor mover you will struggle

Liked Lovely campsite close to the beach at Santander, very warm welcome from the host. Great facilities, and helpful staff.

Power optional grass site

Liked Location. Close to Santander ferry port and there is a lovely beach cove a very short walk from the site with a can selling ice creams and a nice pub popular pub that also sells food.

Disliked Pitches were on the smaller size but although they are grass pitches they do have 2 runs of slabs to park on.

Local attractions

If you’re seriously into beach and watery activities, seek out Salvé (45 minutes' drive away) for its long stretches of sands and watersports galore. If you’re more of a mooch-and-see sort, just walk or drive and keep your eyes open; at conservative estimates, Cantabria’s coast has 60 beaches. For walks inland, the nature trails of the Cabárceno Natural Park (20 minutes) are good for a half-day adventure; many visitors combine wildlife rambles with a trip to see the really wild life in the two adjacent safari parks and zoo. Though manmade and involving the sinking of several villages, the Ebro reservoir (an hour) has become a beauty spot and destination for hikers, boat cruisers and windsurfers. Sometimes dismissed as a busy port, Santander (20 minutes) has a calming seafront park and popular beaches; surfers head to Sardinero when the waves are right, sightseers to the striking Catedral de la Asunción and snackers to the bars and eateries dishing up fresh seafood. An hour and 15 minutes away, Bilbao is worth the trip for its Guggenheim Museum (and the building it's housed in), its two museums devoted to Basque culture and history, and the cliffs and beach just outside at Getxo.
