Has anyone been to the new camperstop in Alcossebre?

We had a look last October, we were on Playa Tropicana, looked OK, some bigger pitches, new facilities, not quite finished then, we would stay there and probably will later this year.

No problem parking in town by the port and opposite the second smaller beach or alone the front.Spoilt for choice with campsites and "stop&go aires.We were there last week @PhilandMena are there at the moment and probably for the next 2 weeks

A few good wildcamp spots in the area too much quieter and peaceful than the very busy cramped aires I saw in the area.
Easy free parking in town right at foot of the castle which is stunning with great views

Stopped at carpark by port today and not allowed to park campers even for short time. Moved on by police even with valid ticket and parked in a marked bay (not a coach one). Maybe it’s because it’s March but I didn’t see any signs and there were none on the ticket machines.

That's weird I never saw any signs saying no parking of motorhomes there either ....bit discriminating that is. I parked there when I visited the castle and there were a few daytime parked there

Really busy with motor homes most Aires on the coast full about 15 m/h at benicassI'm and parking on the road hurry up now

Spain used to be so easy going. It's getting like the UK now, we got a ticket in Deltebre for staying over night, no one else there, out of season, weren't causing a problem at all. And yet they want €100.
Not paying it especially as the illiterate ****wits got one digit wrong on our registration 

PS the whole experience has really put me off going to Spain, used to love it.

We stayed at Eden in early feb. Eden is OK, but the town was disappointing as nearly everything was closed. Before that we were at Ribamar a few miles South, which we liked.

I'm beginning to be glad that we have spent the last few winters in Sicily and the Peloponnese/Crete. Spain sounds full!

Where did you park? We were at Deltebre a few weeks ago and thinking of going back. but definitely don't want a ticket.

The free aire (with a charge to fill and dump) is still there?
Was thinking of spending a night or two there at out next trip.

Here where the road turns into the beach.

Rear view.

Front view.
No signs, plenty of space.

I suppose the area has been abused by motorhomes in the past, with envious residents sticking the boot in too, the mayor had to act... 100 euro though is too much.

They were putting signs up last year in the areas where some people wild for long periods (by the sides of beach access roads)
In Benicarlo too the Police were talking to campers to the side of the port where people wild camped
but mostly Spanish who seemed to be quite ignorant emptying Toilet cassettes in the Baranca and just letting grey water run free into the gravel saw one get a ticket too for a tyre problem

but there's a Free aire between Peniscola and Benicarlo and lots of cheap Camper places and inexpensive sites too so there's less reason to wild around the towns and there is a huge parking aire in Vinaros just down the road and as far as I can see that is free in Winter

Police spoke to us last week in Peniscola, very nice, but advised us no Motorhomes allowed to park on the front, but told us of the free aire behind campsite Eden. Drive along the front, turn up the road signposted Eden and drive to the top of the road and the aire is there. 15 vans there the other night, two minutes to the beach, either walk along prom to the old town, or over the wooden walkway to the new town.

We were not intending to wild, just to park to visit the castle. Just didn’t see any signs so a bit annoying having bought a ticket.

We moved to here for overnight. A bit wild and windy though last night, as it is still this morning.
Police gave us a shouting at in Spanish and stuck a notice under the windscreen, no helpful directions!

Has anyone been to the new camperstop in Alcossebre?

We were recently there. Has become popular with Dutch and German long termers. We had to 'wait' with 6 others for a pitch BUT the manager squeezed us onto the next door waste ground and ran a EHU cable out to us.
We had full use of the facilities until a proper pitch became available the next day. The pitches are of a good size and have a grey water disposal point. The site is still being expanded, probably onto the waste ground where we and others were. The manager, who speaks little English, was superb and I'm sure didn't turn anyone away. There were 13 vans on the overflow 1 night. This is good but the site electrics couldn't cope and all the power went off, so no showers, EHU etc. until fixed which took a bit of time. That said, a good Aire, close to shops and the sea front. The town has a very nice feel about it too. Would definitely stay again.

Even the " envious " residents of Derby are getting fed up with a motorhome. Good job they do not live on the Spanish costas they really would be "envious"

The Aire behind the camperstop Eden is Free, no facilities but it is quite a decent level area, off the road, ten minutes walk to the town, don't pull up at the Eden reception, it will cost you €19.00 for the night.

Agreed, water and grey water on pitch along with all you can eat 10A electric for the ACSI rate. Good bar and food on site and a useful shop next door. Close to beach front. Easy walk into town, using the board walk across the reed beds.
