33550, Cangas de Onís
Been here?
An accessible motorhome parking area about 3 minutes’ walk from Cangas de Onís and beside the bus station. It has a few long but narrow spaces, with vehicles of almost 6 m fitting inside the marked lines. The location is convenient for reaching the town and the Covadonga lakes, though bus-station activity creates some noise.

We slept here with several 5.5–6 m vans without any problem because the motorhome parking area was full. Some cars at night, but it is fine for going out to dinner in Cangas and walking back without driving.
There are fairly long spaces, a little narrow; we parked vans of almost 6 m within the lines. Some noise because it is near the bus station, three minutes' walk from the centre. On the downside, some people emptied their tanks in the parking area so they would not lose their space, leaving a bad smell, and others parked more than 1 m outside the spaces. Then we complain that some places do not want us.
There are few spaces for motorhomes. We arrived late to park in the area opposite and decided to park here, even though several motorhomes had parked very tightly, leaving no room for others in the large spaces. Despite that, we parked in the small spaces; our camper is large, but we managed to position it tightly enough not to be fined.
Very close to the centre. Really a good parking area.
Very narrow parking spaces, causing problems if you do not have a sliding door. Apparently, you are fined if you overhang, but there are cars parked in the motorhome area. Very close to the bus station and the village is just a few minutes' walk away. We spent two nights here without moving the vehicle so as not to lose the space, since there are very few for the number of vehicles.
Parking next to the bus station for going up to the Covadonga Lakes. Very narrow spaces. You can walk to the village.
Both in the paid parking area and in the one opposite, if you extend beyond the parking lines because your motorhome is longer than 5 metres, you will be fined.
Great for spending one night. There are few spaces for motorhomes, but it is perfect for a minivan to spend a night.
Parking next to P1, with about nine large spaces for motorhomes or long campers. If you have a small van, use one of the other small spaces in the rest of the parking area. Be careful to respect the parking lines and not cross them. Slightly sloped. We spent one night; there was a little noise because the road is behind and the bus station is beside it. No services, two containers nearby.
Adequate parking. We arrived around 9 p.m. and there was nobody there to collect payment. You can fill and empty water. I seem to remember that the lights stay on. Parking for more than 72 hours is not allowed.
Good area for filling and emptying water, but parking in high season is difficult.
The photographs do not correspond to this parking area; they are of the paid parking opposite. This one is free. There are only six long spaces on the side nearest the road. Important: the vehicle must not extend beyond the marked lines; the police pass by taking photographs and issue fines. Spaces are sloped and narrow. The good thing is that it is right next to the bus station for buses up to the lakes.
Good area for parking and spending the night in a motorhome. We stayed two nights; you have to pay €3 for each day. Good place for emptying and filling water, although there are very few motorhome spaces and it is always full; we got a spot by chance. Next to the bus station for going up to the lakes and five minutes from the centre of Cangas. We did not see the police pass by the parking area a single day.
The description does not match the indicated location. In this parking area there are four or five spaces for vans at the back as you enter. Unfortunately, they are often occupied by cars. We slept well. Ideal for taking the bus to Covadonga.
Yes, be very careful not to go outside the lines because they issue fines even if you are inside the parking area and have paid. Be careful!
Beware: the local police fine people at night for parking outside the lines and do not leave a notice, haha. In my case, with a 6 m vehicle, I doubt the wheels were outside... I will ask them for the photo. Next time I will park in the middle of town, since I have a delivery van. No comment... thanks to the inconsiderate people who occupy two or four spaces; I have seen them.
We tried to enter twice but could not; it is extremely overcrowded, with cars rushing around everywhere. If you like peace and quiet, it is better to service your vehicle and leave. You do not have to pay to use the service area; simply enter, do what you need to do and leave.
Adequate parking, somewhat uneven, with emptying and water-filling services.
The truth is that I think they are ripping us off by charging for parking there. As soon as you enter, they charge €3 and tell you that you can stay only one day, while next to it there is a sign saying parking is allowed for 72 hours. On the other hand, it is a very brightly lit parking area, which attracts swarms of flying ants that get into the vehicle and it is quite disgusting. The good thing: it is spacious and there are toilets nearby at the bus station.
Parking is NOT free; entry costs €3 and you can stay for a maximum of 72 hours. The person collecting payment is absent for a while at midday and at night; if they are not there, you do not pay. There are approximately 23 large spaces for motorhomes; you can park in car spaces as long as you do not occupy more than one. WARNING: the local police check license plates at night and you will receive a fine for an infringement. There is a fountain.
Large parking area with water and emptying services. In my case, I arrived at 9 p.m. and there was nobody there to collect payment. There is a nearby road, which is somewhat noisy.
Fantastic free area; overnight stays are allowed for a maximum of 72 hours. There are 20 motorhome spaces, and you can park in a car space as long as you do not exceed its dimensions. Today the local police came and only told those occupying two spaces to park properly.
Asphalt parking area, but according to what we were told, overnight stays are not allowed and are subject to a fine. The police pass by continuously. We stayed in the other permitted area and saw people here… but I think it is a risk to expose yourself to a fine or being thrown out in the middle of the night, depending on their mood… it comes down to luck.
Asphalt parking area next to the road. It gets very full in July, and we had to look for another place to sleep.
Huge parking space, well maintained and with good services.
Good area for visiting Cangas, near the station for connecting to Covadonga or the lakes. Note that it is not free, but only costs €3 for 72 hours. I am not giving it 5 stars because the spaces designated for overnight motorhome stays are close to the road, and the noise is somewhat annoying.
We used this motorhome area only to use the service point, which we found clean and functional.
Free parking; grey and black water can be emptied. There was a strong smell of manure and many flies. It is a few blocks from the town entrance. The view is not good compared with other places.
Only suitable in a pinch. When we arrived it was practically full, with some motorhome owners occupying several spaces and at least a dozen people having dinner in another space, with awnings, tables, chairs and making a racket. Very unfortunate. In addition, the noise of doors from small vans and other vehicles did not stop until 1 a.m. I would not return here to sleep.
This parking area does its job: water, grey water and toilets. We did not sleep there, but the place served us several times.
Spent a few nights here and it was great. City is not even a 5 min walk. There are services and all for free during the week. On Friday mornings, the city starts charging to park for the weekend only. Also, have heard that if you take up 2 spots when you park, you will get a ticket. Make sure to take up only 1 parking spot if all camper van spots are taken.
It is fine because it has water filling and emptying facilities, but it costs €2.
The town is beautiful. Facilities were good. The aire is noisy at night and in the morning. Very close to the road and bus station.
During the week, you can stay for free at the motorhome site. At weekends, €2 must be paid to access the car park, and use of the designated camper spaces is monitored. The municipal sports centre near the site has showers for €2; at the roundabout toward the village, turn right. Ideal location for the Lagos de Covadonga.
During high season, you have to pay €2. Nearby is the municipal sports centre, where you can shower for €2. The showers were clean and had hot water.
We slept there for one night before leaving in the morning for the Lakes of Covadonga. Highly recommended spot, quiet at night and full of motorhomes. There are also facilities for emptying grey and black water, although we did not use them. Highly recommended!
