Asturias and Galicia October campsites (1 Viewer)

[csx355]

Hi all - does anyone have any recommended campsites that are open in October in the above regions? We are planning on a two week trip leaving mid October.

I just can't find any sites that are open and whilst I don't mind wild camping and aires a few decent serviced campsites would be useful. I'm pretty sure there must be a few sites open but my lousy Spanish isn't helping.

Just to make things a little more complicated sites or recommended aires next to surf beaches would be ace!!!

Check the ACSI books but there will only be a few open all year round. Most close in September as you have found.

Camping El Rosal at San Vicente might be open and is a nice spot.

looks like the best option to-date.

That looks like an amazing spot but according to the website it closes 13th of October which is when we are leaving. It's a shame as we were sort of mugged for dates on our work holiday calendar. - it won't happen again. I have ordered the Acsi card but have not seen it yet.

stormriders guide

Thanks Alan - I have been living off the storm rider guides for years - mainly for France though. I will check out the maps.

Please keep them coming.

there are several good wave places not in stormriders , i think they tried to put the main touristy types in there. unfortunately along the spanish coast some of the little villages that were so good have grown to small towns and took the fun away.
also 15mtr waves washed away alot of the places a few years ago. one of the surf clubs lost its club house and the old bar next door.
camping el rosal does stay open at san vicente , some get away with car park over night . we dont . the police do come round and issue warnings . luckily we have been going so long they know us . we move off the beach area every night , one night here one night there ,beach in the day .
remember it when hardly any houses were around the beach are.
but give a shout and call in if passing .
only two weeks though you will wish it was two months . ha ha .

If you get off the ferry at Santander and keep the sea on your right you will find loads of surf spots, some crowded, some not so. Happy travels and good waves.

Too late for the OP but for anyone else the notice is on the door of Camping Rosal and on Saturday night there were more than 70 vans on the beach car park and about 30 on Sunday night. The Spanish surfers say the police seem to have given up moving vans on.

Hi all - just to close this one up, it might be useful for someone else.

We travelled overnight Plymouth to Roscoff and then down to Camping Vert Bord'Eau in St Symphorien South of Bordeaux for the 2nd night. probably should have used an Aire but we wanted to check out some different sites on the trip for future reference.
Next morning on into Spain and checked in to Camping Oyambre Beach - nicely sited but I thought a bit pricey for the facilities (not the location) and a great position for any surfers out there. I quiet and mellow North Easterly facing break. We cycled into San Vincente and checked out Camping El Rosal and the masses of vans parked up at the back of the beach.
Three nights at Oyambre in brilliant sunshine then the weather looked to be closing in so we hi tailed it into San Sebastian for a night on the town and Tapas courtesy of the camper stop and bus service.
On up to Souliac for a night (or two? it's all a blur!!) before settling in for a weeks surfing just north or Les Sables D'Olonne.
Last push was up to Camping Les Salines in Plurien for a night before catching the ferry back to Plymouth. Job done!
1700 miles - just a tad shy of 25 to the gallon. Moules, Huitres and Pastis, loads of waves and a tan to boot. Doesn't get much better than that for me.
