Camping Ciudad de León

A aimé : none

N'a pas aimé: We checked in and staff brought us to the area. After 10 Minutes of our stay we were surrounded by flies and mosquitoes. Other cars nearby had the same problem. We decided to leave and checked into a hotel. Staff spoke very little english, pool was closed (not even filled with water), place was in the middle of nowhere. Nearby houses were all deserted. I would not recommend this place. Waste of money.

A aimé : Very accommodating hosts who spoke next to no English. We managed in Spanglish. They offered a guidebook to León (in English), a map with info on where to park for free and how to navigate the labyrinthine road system to get to the supermarket. Very clean toilets with plenty of paper, very clean showers and sinks. Hot water at one wash up and one laundry sink, plenty. Well shaded pitches, sandy. Good short order cook providing "Platos combinados" at 21:00 (burgers, chicken, ham, cured sausage, egg and chips with salad and bread for around 10 Euros). Good coffee with milk at 08:00. Children's menu, high chair, games and books. Watched the Euro football match with fellow campers and site owner (chef too) even tho' it finished after 23:00. Bread available in the morning.

N'a pas aimé: Site access is down a steep lane deeply rooted, perhaps affected by the very wet spring(2024). It was accessible for vans and caravans. The site is in a developing area of León's outskirts, adjacent to a new housing development, with views over farmland to the Picos. (So you can hear owls and many bird species in the dawn chorus. But, it is also adjacent to a dog's home and the dogs did howl at night. We had no problem with the site owner's noisy dog and the site is dog friendly. The swimming pool was empty and we saw it being hosed clean. There are outdoor chairs and tables campers may use. The site may benefit from new fittings (clothes hooks, perhaps new toilet seats) and from a more robust approach to keeping the outdoor furniture and multigames pitch tidy. Our pitch had a pile of cigarette butts by the water point. There isn't much in walking distance, bikes fine, so we didn't experience tapas in the Barriós of León..

A aimé : This was one of about 8 stops on my trip. This site had a very laid back atmosphere, so much so that I couldn't find reception and the site manager appeared from nowhere to check me in. The site is quirky, but the facilities are good and clean. The bar/restaurant was fine, although the menu was quite basic. The cachopa I ate was enormous!

N'a pas aimé: The cafe didn't open as promised in the morning, so I missed my coffee. It's a car-ride to the city.

A aimé : Sheltered site, clean showers and toilets. The couple who ran the site are very nice and helpful but don’t speak a word of English which is not really a problem given that we should at least try to speak Spanish, which I did ( comically) using translation app on my phone.

N'a pas aimé: Site is very tired in need of updating and organising. The swimming pools are pretty un-usable in May as they were covered in green algae. Restaurant is needing attention, not very appealing and dark.
