MagHal Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi Does anyone have any recommendations for camp sites or places to stop near San Sebastian for a few days beginning of July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muswell Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Try this. http://www.eurocampings.co.uk/spain/basque-country/gipuzkoa/san-sebastian/campsite-igueldo-106658/. The best bit is there is a bus stop close by with a good service into town. Start saving for the restaurant bills :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKen1 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The Igueldo camping has bad reviews and 32€ wow...would be cheaper though with the ACSI card out of season. If you dont mind Aires you could try this one ......and the reviews are pretty positive http://www.campercontact.com/campersite/detail/id/12047 Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muswell Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The site was OK, as a base to see the city. Like most sites near a city I wouldn't want to spend more than a few days. We were there at the same time as the English couple who said the staff were grumpy....maybe they had an attitude problem because we found the staff very friendly and I had a long chat with one of them. We would stay there again simply for the conveneince of getting into San Sebastian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Can recommend ORIO. Camoing Orio ACSI site no 2373 (2014) N43.17.12 W2.7.34 Nice site between nice village and the sea, by a river. Village well worth a visit Not sure what it would cost non ACSI. PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagHal Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks for replies. I've a little time to consider. Would it be advisable to book now or could I leave it till early New year? Orio looks OK, Igueldo looks OK too, but no frontiers to human nature. It's pricey but I only need to be there for max 4- 5 nights. The Aire seems fine but limited to 48 hrs?

Muswell Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 We got into Igueldo 30 June without booking but it was getting full. For somewhere like San Sebastian it'sworth checking to make sure there is no big event that might fill the site. We were in Caceres once and it turned out Womad was there so the site was very full.

Guest Joe90 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Quite by chance we happened on this site below, lovely terraced site, with helpful staff one of whom spoke fluent English which was a Godsend, when I discovered a slow puncture, arranging everything for us with a local garage, it's approx 20 miles out from San Sebastian, but as someone else has pointed out there is an aire ( paid by machine ) near the university ( signposted ) from where there is an excellent bus service right into the center / sea front of the town. We used it as daytime parking, as it was so much more convenient than faffing around looking for parking, but also used it after staying at the site for a couple of nights. We always do low season touring so cannot advise on needing to book, but it was quiet and peaceful, zero road noise as at the end of a dead end road, although the access was good. Just hope you're not of a nervous disposition, some of the Basque drivers are fun, :D although San was beautiful and well worth the effort. I'm a bit jealous, a place we would return to without doubt. http://www.campingitxaspe.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMac46 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 We were at Igueldo last December and there were 4 campers total. Restaurant on site not open every day. Showers good once you ran the water for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mitch Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The area (aire) in San Sebastian is indeed in the university district and is made up mainly of modern student accommodation and study buildings. If you cycle there are good cycle routes down to the old town, which should take you no more than 15 minutes. The area has services. It may be too far away but have you considered the campsite on the top of the hill at Zarautz? There's a lovely cliff-path walk to the town and at weekends the beach is taken over by football teams who mark out their pitches and can be watched from the promenade cafes. Mad Mitch.

MagHal Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Thanks to you all for your responses. Looks like there are plenty of sites to choose from in that area. Regards Hal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
