Power optional grass campsite
Liked: Choose your own pitch, lovely staff. We had a good meal in the onsite restaurant, superb steak served by a very nice waitress nothing was too much trouble. The shower block though old is very clean and lots of hot water, very good play area for kids. The best thing for us was putting your mat down and not looking for dog poop yay.
Disliked: No Wi-Fi.

Liked: Good restaurant and bar with nice food, helpful staff and reasonable priced. Nice little beach nearby.
Disliked: Very scruffy site with lots of permanent old caravans, crammed in together. Toilets were old but kept clean by the staff who worked hard - however no soap or hand towels at the sinks. Daft idea having loo paper outside the actual cubicle?

Liked: Very scienic around the sight. Pitches quite close and not enclosed but typucal of many Spanish sites. Toilets and showers adequate. Warm welcome from all staff at reception. Very efficient. Electrics have to be locked in and out by staff but very attentive. Good simple bar and restaurant on site. Great bar and restaurant up the hill by the sea. Beautiful scenery within walking distance
Disliked: Sharp downhill road to site but ok, slow and steady. We did it in 7m motorhome

Liked: Convenient for access to ferries at Bilbao or Santander. Very friendly and helpful staff, who advised about buses, washing machines and other things. Easy bus from outside campsite to Castro Urdiales. We stayed 2 nights. Free WiFi.
Disliked: No barrier between pitches and not much shade. Beach is 1 min walk away, but is very small. Beach shown on the website is a much longer walk away.

Power optional grass campsite
Liked: Proximity to the sea, areas for children to play, good shower and toilet facilities. Restaurant / cafe available for meals and breakfast. Very welcoming staff. There is also a restaurant in the beach nearby where we ate which was pretty good. We only stayed for the one night after arriving in Santander on the ferry. A real gem of a site for a night or two.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.
