Chill out camp site north Spain recommendations

[Jewellbags]

I wrote a little guide following our trip a few years ago.

I'm a Tour Guide - Spain - Picos de Europa and Northern Coast - 10 days

Sitting here on board Brittany Ferries’ Galicia, en route home from Bilbao to Portsmouth, I thought I would write up a few notes of our first trip abroad in our motorhome as it might help anyone else thinking of doing a similar trip. I learned a lot from this forum, so thought it was about time...

Some of the towns and places on the coast mentioned there would be perfect.

Have fun,

Mike

Unless I missed it , what size type can have you got ?

Camping La Viorna in Potes, one of the best, get a high up pitch for the best views of the incredible Picos mountains. Short walk to lovely town . Real chill our site and immaculate facilities.

Just found this post after searching for Camping La Viorna. Been out to Picos de Europa couple of times by motorcycle, next year I plan to go again but this time with my 5.4m ducato van and a motorcycle trailer which is about 3.6m in length. Would you say it is easy to get around the site with a set up like that as hard to tell from google maps and would rather have the knowledge of someone who has stayed there.

We stayed there this spring. Lovely site and so friendly. Access is easy.
There was a car and caravan on top level and along from us on one level down, a 6m van with a car trailer and a lovely MGB on it.
Unlabelled red wine in shop at 3 euros bottle is lovely.
Entrance and road around site

Absolutely fine, with that set up, good wide access to pitches, I saw several outfits with trailers on site, the pitches are also big. The road access to Potes was no bother.

Nice one, cheers it puts my mind at rest. Love the area for riding so plan to base myself there for 8 nights.

Access road to Potes was a bit of a pain as they are widening it so lots of manually and light controlled single sections. Lots of workers on it though so maybe it will be finished by the time you go unlike UK projects!

How was the weather in Spring? I have been twice in June and weather was ok for riding. Wifey has decided she would like to join me on the trip now but concerned it may get too hot at times for our pup so she has suggested going mid May. Any thoughts on this? If she came I would just ride the odd day and then we would go out in the van so I could show her around so I could pick drier days to ride.
