What customers say

This well-located campsite's close to a lovely beach & the Santander ferry. Clean, tidy, with friendly staff. Pool & restaurant generally good, though some found facilities dated. Pitches are grassy, some shaded, but can be tight. Good for short stays, maybe pricey for longer ones.

Electric optional grass pitch

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.
