We arrived without a booking on Sunday, the 24th of August 2025.
[The feedback is based on comments of all people staying - 4 family members, all adults.]
Location is very good - near Santander and about 100km from Bilbao. There is a nearby beach (short walking distance away, approx 350m) with a very good restaurant. It was very busy so we went to the beach swimming early in the morning.
Check-in was easy, friendly staff in reception.
We had 4 adults in a motorhome (+electric) and 2 small tents - it cost us 88 euro for two plots. Turned out to be the most expensive stay ever in a campsite in Spain this year. But the location made it worth it.
The pitches are tight, be mindful, one motorhome nearly ripped the side apart trying to reverse into a plot. Some trees just seem to be in the wrong place to be able to park up with a longer vehicle.
The ground was soft, and we had grass ;)
The campsite was quiet, no disturbances at all. Watched local wildlife - the lizard on the wall was quite amusing!
Facilities were good - toilets and showers were clean at all times but several showers had broken fixings, easy to improve that.
The motorhome toilet emptying place was very dirty in the morning, but giving the benefit of doubt that maybe we just happened to be there in-between the cleaning/checking. And some people just don't clean up after themselves.
We did not use the pool so won't comment.
Small shop on site, always appreciated.
The bar/restaurant - not sure if considered part of the campsite but we liked it. Really nice, very cold beers. The only thing is that picture of pizza on menu did not correspond to what we received. Ordered the same pizza again, specifically calling out the item on the pizza - green peppers, same type pizza arrived. We made it into holiday mission/game to find green peppers on pizza then :D Hot sauce for chips was delicious!
So - overall - 4 stars for the campsite (price v facilities v location). Recommend to stay and we will return!

Could be a lovely campsite but they have squeezed far too many pitches into available space!! Far too narrow and tree planting has made access and egress impossible for anything but caravans with movers.

Great campsite, especially for Santander but would be great anywhere. Excellent on site restaurant with great staff. Lovely surrounding area with a lovely coastline and beach.

Exceptionally small pitches, on the first row we could hardly open the door without hitting the vehicle next to us.

There is another field, and here we had real problems - the pitches are again narrow, hemmed in by trees, and together with the very narrow road, extremely difficult to get in and out of.

To make matters worse, the ground can become totally waterlogged. There are concrete tracks for the wheels (narrow, of course!) albeit by no means level - but stray off these while manoeuvring, and you are trapped in mud. As the trees grow it will be even more difficult.

The campsite workers seemed to spend most of their time freeing stuck vehicles. Combined with the high price, we will not be returning.

Schöne Lage an schroffe Felsküste. Sanitäranlage uralt, aber sauber. Fenster in Damen Dusche lässt Einblick vom Stellplatz aus zum Vorraum, in dem man sich auskleiden muss, weil in der Dusche weder Platz dafür noch ein Kleiderhaken ist. Geht gar nicht. Stellplätze haben befestigte Fahrspuren, sind aber so eng beieinander mit Bäumen dazwischen, dass der Platz weder für die Markise noch für Tisch und Stühle reicht. Schade, der Platz hat viel mehr Potenzial!

Negatives; very, very small pitches! We only had a VW Camper but there wasn’t enough room to put the roll out awning up. Immature trees / hedges between the pitches means you have a little more room but no privacy whatsoever. The whole site felt and looked tired. The shower block and pool were clean but very dated so didn’t look the best.
Positive; the location! 5 minute walk to an amazing beach / cove. The location alone will probably mean we will visit again but only for 1 or 2 nights.

Good for getting to Santander. Clean facilities. As mentioned by others small pitches.
We were all parked up when an old man ( owner I think) was very rude and complaining about our car not completely on the concrete slabs. We had managed to squeeze it on the pitch. If we parked the way he wanted we would stick out of our pitch. We moved the car but it was the very unfriendly manner he had. We were meant to stay 2 nights we left after one.

Prima camping met vriendelijke, goed Engels sprekende eigenaresse. Mochten zelf plaats uitzoeken. Advies was om bepaalde nummers te nemen, deze plaatsen waren nl de grootsten. Sanitair netjes en schoon. Mooie omgeving om te fietsen en Santander is een bezoek waard. Zeker langs de haven is het prima vertoeven. Een e-bike is een aanrader. Het glooit nogal richting Santander. Bij de zee mooie hoge rotsen waar de golven flink tegenaan kunnen slaan. Mooi om te aanschouwen. Eten en drinken, zwembad, sportfaciliteiten en kindvriendelijkheid niet beoordeeld.

Goede camping met wat kleine plaatsen, Santander is te fietsen, de hele boulevard af en terug is 35 km. Er is geen busverbinding.Santander is zeker aan te raden. Het strand bij de camping is minimaal bij hoog water, bij laag water een stuk groter, voor strand moet je hier niet zijn dan zijn er betere opties zoals Laredo.

Had to think about this before I posted it. Last week we stayed in the camping virgen de Mer as our over night before the sunday ferry. We received a text to say that the ferry was going 1 hour earlier than scheduled. It was our first time going through this port and we were worried about finding our way around. We made the decision to get up early and leave loads of time. At 8am we got up to be told by another couple that the massive security gate was broken and we had no way out. Went looking for staff. There were none. Started ringing a landline. No answer. Started ringing what we assumed was an out of hours mobile number. It rang out about 4 times through before I was blocked. Starting to panic we and the 3 other couples started to try find any way out. Back gate also locked. Couldn\'t push or pull the main gate open (I have zero experience with electric gates) whatapp\'d the mobile number to say there was an emergency on site. Boarding was closing at 10.15. First staff due in (we thought) at 10. Walked the site and knocked on mobile homes with cars outside. No luck. Walked the road to see if any houses near by. No luck. 9.40 and pure panic stations. I rang my family in ireland and my brother in law was able to talk me through what to do to override the system. 3 campers went at serious speed through the town to get there with 10 mins to spare. Decided to ring the campsite to explain the situation and to recommend that they start answering there phone in an emergency and I got pure abused. I explained what happened and the end result was she laughed at me and asked what my problem was. She refused to believe me about the ferry was leaving early as her friend worked there and I was lying. Told me I should have just fixed the gate. Also phone hours start at 10am and they wouldn\'t be answered before that. I asked what would happen in an out of hours emergency and she said it was not her problem. She then hung up on me. This might be a once off, but serious concerns about the security and safety of that site made me compose this message. Amazingly I started to get messages apologising once the lady realised she was totally out of order. So please approach with caution.
