  • 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.

What customers say

Lovely spot near the lighthouse with amazing views. Staff are praised for being friendly & helpful. Peaceful, close to beaches & towns. Facilities are basic/dated but clean, especially newer restrooms. Spacious pitches. Some noise from kids/residents & a few areas need upkeep. Good value, especially for stopovers.

Tristan L.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked Site facilities were basic but clean, maintenance was ongoing to improve them ready for the new season. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pitch we used was level and even but I could see that others were not so even, the electricity hook up point was quite a way from the pitch but the staff lent me an extension to reach the pitch.
The location was pleasant with lovely views over the country side, the site was very quiet, but we were the only visitors at the time of our stay.
The roads accessing the site were good, approx 25 minutes from Santander ferry port.

Liked De locatie is prima maar dat is ook het enige

Disliked De ontvangst (receptie gesloten en niemand te bekennen), de gehele entourage, het sanitair, het veld waar de camper moest staan etc. Zo kan ik nog wel even doorgaan. De conclusie is dat je deze ‘camping’ moet vermijden. Slechter dan dit vind je het waarschijnlijk niet. Nergens wifi.

Peter M.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked The area is good with local beach bars and restaurants near by.

Disliked The site is a mess, the pitches are like a farmer’s field, the electric hook ups are mostly long reel extension leads. There are a lot of shacks( holiday sheds) with kids running riot, very noisy until late, if you have a large Motorhome forget it.

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.
