hallii Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 First off, there are not many sites open in Spain in the winter so check first. Second, they are always more expensive in Spain than in say, France. £25 is certainly not unusual, and even that price does not guarantee a top class site. You can get a decent site for about £10-£12 if you book more nights. I find it best to find out which sites are open, email then for prices or offers, then turn up without booking and have a look round first. I strongly urge you to consider an ACSI card, this will get you a decent site for 12-14 Euros inluding electric. You can get one from CC Club Caravan Club etc. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Plenty of sites open all year in or near to Benidorm. If this area suits you you could do worse than try Camping Arena Blanca in Benidorm. Small site, quiet, good security and only about one to one and a half miles from the centre/beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsandywhite Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 B-) We are in our second year on:- http://www.campingalmafra.es/index_ing.html Not cheap. But one of the newest and top class. You DO get what you pay for. ;-) Here is a photo of our Plot:- http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m1/johnsandywhite/Almafra022-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want a share in the site if I was to pay £50 per night. That is an extortionate amount of money. What did you get for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want a share in the site if I was to pay £50 per night. That is an extortionate amount of money. What did you get for that? http://www.fornella.it/camping.c/p-4/Italiano.htm It is a very nice site.... The exchange rate does not help, last year it was £35. We have paid the same on top French sites? Ile de Rae was £50. 3 years ago, well before exchange rate hike...good, but not in the same league as Italian site. I am happy with an Aire or a municipal. But my teenagers are extremely fussy! I love them to bits so indulge them.... unfortunatly only a year or two till they stop coming :-( We wil then probably return to a more touring based itinerary. If I was retired situation would be different as well, and I would not use toll then either! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doonhamer Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi David, I agree with Geoff, the ACSI card is a must for Spain. Last winter when not wild camping we stayed on some +20 Euro sites for 14 Euro a night. The Book including Card is only £10.50 , its available at Vicarious Books. I would also recommend the DVD at £8.75 as it makes searching for a site a whole lot easier. Doonhamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randonneur Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi Judgemental, The problem is that when you think you have got rid of them they come back. Moved here and they followed. The site look great and I can understand why it was so expensive when there are 4 adults it does make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah bless:-D Yes, times 4 makes a big difference where ever you go...... Just been playing (or trying to) guitar with my 15 year old son. He is a very acomplished and dedicated musican. The thing is I will miss his company and watching them both grow so much.... I need to go and lie down now... its the weather don't you know - nothing to do with cheap but wonderful Italian sparkling wine we brought home.....8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 202 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi judgemental, Not quite part of the thread but Great to hear from a fellow member of the " Love my kids family", As my wife said " your children are only loaned to you, you will always be their mum and dad, but you have to earn their friendship". Ours always keep in touch and visit when thay can so I guess we passed the parentig test. Good luck with your trips, enjoy, and better to spend on the children when you can all enjoy Regards Mike and Heather :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricio Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 On the new Air in Alfaz del Pi close to Benidorm you pay 12.-€/day but for longer stays they take only 300.-€ (245 pounds)/MONTH. That's more or less 10.-€ (8 pounds) per day. Includes 6 AMP electricity and free WIFI Bread delivered daily Take a look at: http://www.camperparkcostablanca.com/index_eng.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
