  • 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.

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked: Location. Very near to Santander for ferry and stunning views. Reception was closed but I just walked around to the bar to find someone to check us in. He was friendly, showed us a pitch and the best place to park and ensured ehu was working. Walk down the road to see the funkiest light house and a coastal path with amazing views. It is mainly a park home site with a few touring pitches. They are a bit unkempt. The portaloo style shower block in the camping field has showers, loos and toilet roll (collect what you need before going into toilet cubicle) and we're very clean. There are children enjoying themselves but very quiet at night. Ideal for us but the rusticness is perhaps not for everyone.

Disliked: A bit unkempt but that's not an issue for 1 night. A bit slope but with the help of the guy from reception (owner?) we managed to get flat without ramps. We discovered the motorhome fill and grey waste disposal next to the portaloo back by chance. A bit hidden in long grass, a sign would be good.

Power optional grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Its closeness to Santander is all we were concerned with. It has very clean but basic toilets and showers and has a decent bar onsite. For what we needed it was perfect with less than 50 mins drive to the ferry.

Disliked: The pitch was on a bit of a slope but it didn’t bother us, I stuck a block under one wheel and reversed onto it. If you were staying for more than a night the showers might get a bit much ( there’s only a shower curtain ). That said, there was another shower block that was closer to the reception which may have been better.

Power optional grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Había muchos bungalow con familias con niños que parecía que disfrutaban del verano allí.

Disliked: Íbamos a camping para contar con una serie de servicios, como los baños, lo más cercanos que teníamos, que hay dos cabinas, uno de ellos atascado y el otro suicio y con excrementos por todo, esto no es culpa del camping sino de la gente, pero su es un problema que no haya un buen mantenimiento, al día siguiente el WC atascado estaba cerrado y el otro limpio, pero no había papel, me parece necesario que al menos el baño esté en condiciones adecuadas, ya que sobretodo fuimos a camping por tener esa opción, sinceramente hubiera sido más higiénico irse al campo....

Power optional grass RV campsite

Liked: Ho avuto il piacere di soggiornare presso il Camping Cabo De Ajo dal 23 al 25 agosto come camperista con un furgonato, e l'esperienza è stata davvero eccellente. Fin dal nostro arrivo, siamo stati accolti con estrema cortesia dal personale, che si è dimostrato sempre disponibile e attento alle nostre esigenze. Questa accoglienza calorosa ha contribuito a farci sentire subito a nostro agio. Una delle caratteristiche che ho apprezzato maggiormente è stata la qualità degli spazi per la sosta. Le piazzole sono ampie, ben curate e disposte su un bel prato erboso, che offre una base comoda e piacevole per il campeggio. È evidente che viene posta grande cura nella manutenzione dell'area, con un'attenzione particolare alla pulizia, che si riflette non solo nei bagni e nelle docce, ma in tutto il campeggio. Questa attenzione alla pulizia e all'ordine rende il soggiorno ancora più piacevole. La posizione del campeggio è un altro punto di forza. A pochi passi si trova il suggestivo faro di Cabo De Ajo, un luogo perfetto per una passeggiata serale o per ammirare il panorama costiero. Inoltre, per chi ama il mare, le spiagge si trovano a soli 3 km di distanza, rendendo il campeggio un'ottima base per esplorare la zona senza dover percorrere lunghi tragitti. Notevole il controllo con telecamera e apertura automatica della sbarra di accesso.

Disliked: Non agevole lo scarico delle acque grigie per mezzi grandi.

Power optional grass tent, travel trailer or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Por suerte nos tocó la zona de arriba, frente a la piscina, la cual vimos que la limpiaron cada día, y solo puedo hablar desde mi experiencia, a nosotros nos encantó el lugar, la parcela no estaba cerrada, pero estaba bastante bien, teníamos los baños de chicas muy cerca y estaban limpios, los baños de los chicos estaban un poco más alejados, pero sin mayor importancia, y también estaban limpios, el camping está ubicado en una zona muy bonita, muy cerca del faro y las cuevas, ideal para caminatas muy agradables. Fuimos con un poco de miedo por las reseñas que leímos, pero para nosotros fue una visita muy agradable. El pueblo está a 5 min en coche o 40 min caminando por un paseo peatonal muy bien marcado, y ofrece un poco de todo, desde un supermercado, restaurantes, fruterías, panaderías, bazares....

Disliked: Que la información que ofrecen en su descripción hablan de un supermercado que NO tienen y un bus que te acerca a la playa en agosto que tampoco ofrecen, deberían actualizar esa información.

Liked: Le phare original

Disliked: Bonjour, Très déçu de la prise en charge à la réception (pas sympa )du tout.. La qualité du camping, terrain avec des trous bouchés avec du ciment mal entretenu, sanitaires sales, les douches fermés avec rideau en guise de porte tout le monde peut vous voir homme et femme idem etc 33€ trop cher.. De plus à cabo ajo la seule chose à voir c'est le phare, la ville à pieds trop loin je comprends mieux pourquoi ils font payer d'avance.

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.
