Camping Playa Arenillas

Gostou Location close to ferry ports of Bilbao and Santander.

Não gostou Small pitches. Very narrow tracks around the site. With our caravan (7.4m) needed to be very careful entering the site and navigating all turns around the site. Chemical waste disposal poor, and I never found a grey waste water disposal area. Two large bins for waste plastic and paper, but (if you can find them) very small bins for other waste disposal. The camp shop had no prices marked on anything and was very expensive compared to other campsite shops in Spain. I could be wrong, but I got the impression that the total cost was made up on the spot. Lots of weeds around the site so it appeared that it was not very well cared for. My impression is that the site management have forgotten that this if the 21st century. Not recommended,

Gostou Pitches were great

Não gostou Access to the site and exit from the site are difficult and I smashed the waste water pipe off the van on the exit bump.

Gostou The location of the site is excellent - near the sandy beach and has great little bar/restaurant with friendly & helpful staff. On site facilities are of a good standard (showers, loos etc.). They are more geared up for motorhomes though - I had to use the M/H service point to dispose of my grey waste.

Superb beach location for surfer dudes in their T1s (beach and public car parking area get very crowded in the holidays.

Warning: The beach area allows topless sunbathing - and - on one morning only we went for a walk to find two completely naked females in the surf. No pictures, the wife wouldn't let me...

Would I go back? Yes, I probably would.

Não gostou The pitches are ridiculously small - probably only 8.5m x 8.5m. My 7.5m caravan only just fitted and only gave me enough room to wind the legs down at the back. (A "horsebox" sized motorhome tried to get onto one such pitch and simply gave up & left). The stupid electric boxes are only 6A and have the archaic two-pin "old style" continental sockets, meaning you need a 3-pin blue EURO to 2-pin converter cable. It may be that SOME of the boxes are better - I don't know. The boxes are locked to prevent people nicking the electric, but to be fair, they came out immediately when asked to connect/disconnect. The really concerning bit is the exit/entrance to the site - it's about 20% upslope and there's a blind hairpin halfway up, AND the road is covered with sand from the beach. So on exiting when towing, you stop to check the hairpin and then can't get traction to move further up the hill - an interesting exercise. The nice site man in the yellow jacket stopped the traffic going to the beach allowing us to exit safely in one go.

Gostou Location of the site, facilities were fine. Campsite restaurant was open most of the time. Pitch was a good size.

Não gostou Toilet paper outside the cubicles, take your own in much easier.

Gostou This was booked for our first two nights off the ferry. Not looking for too much, but got more than we hoped. Lovely shower and toilet block (take your own toilet paper) and sinks for washing up.

Shop and bar restaurant selling lovely fresh bread. We didn’t have a meal.

Lovely cove with a sandy beach when the tide was out.

Não gostou No toilet paper in the cubicles.
