Disappointed

[maison]

Having arrived in Santander for the start of our tour of Spain we booked into Virgen del Mar for two nights having read good reviews on Camper Contact.

The pitches are ridiculously narrow, ( not even room to deploy the roll out awning. Tree planting on pitches and even in the middle of the roadway makes pitching difficult. We are 6.5m long. Longer motorhomes simply gave up.

Much more like an over crowded Aire than a campsite.

 

[David and Sally]

Awful.

 

[Swifter]

That is very cosy .

 

[Shrimp]

No way!

 

[Podney]

I guess they rely on the Santander traffic.

I wonder why the reviews were good.

we only been on a couple of spanish sites and that looks typical, narrow roadways and trees everywhere, imagine once the leaves start growing...

 

[The general]

Looks horrendous

Now stop this moaning at once. I keep reading on here how Europe is so much better than horrid old UK.

In fairness I should say that there appears to be a lot of money being spent on the site., toilets, bar/ restaurant etc (New owners perhaps). But nothing can improve the pitches. We are so close to the next m/h that we can’t both open our Hab doors at the same time.

I agree with you I would of driven straight out!
Im not a snob! But Far too many C class motorhomes for my liking.

Oh I thought it was a motorhome sales advert.

Last night was much better at Fuentes Blancas site in Burgos. Nice meal in their restaurant too.

It is, because one does not have to go on campsites, like this one.
