Just spent a nice night here. What a lovely, clean facility. Free to park. Free services. There is a pay machine but it doesn't appear to be connected. Level pitches on tarmac.
This is the second time we have used it, but this time someone was making noise around the motorhome at 4:30 a.m., making us feel unsafe. I turned on the exterior light and saw them leave. I didn't call the Civil Guard because I didn't want to wake the children in the family. What a fright. Otherwise, everything was fine; the pool bar is good for breakfast and dinner.
Quiet area, close to a bar with good pizzas, level ground, no electricity, and perfect for birdwatching.
Very well-leveled and peaceful place at the entrance to the village. Thank you for this initiative.
The water and electricity services are switched off. Level place with a very good bar right next door. At 4 a.m. I had to call the Civil Guard because some hooligans started throwing stones at us from the other side of the road separating the car park. Be very careful about staying alone in this area.
Very good place to sleep, 5 km from the motorway at the entrance to the village. There is still no black-water dump, but there is a grey-water dump and fresh-water filling.
It's wonderful that a village dedicates its resources so that we can travel without problems. Perfect area for spending the night and the day hiking and birdwatching; the water and electricity work perfectly. FREE. MANY THANKS.
Excellent place, very level and paved, next to the information point for visiting the Arrocampo reservoir, with its birdwatching hides. A black-water dump is missing, which will surely be fixed in the near future. Thank you very much for offering us such a great place!
Excellent place with a public swimming pool across the street where you can shower for €1.50. Bird observatory with hiking routes and an information hut with toilets. The parking area is large and flat, with a dump station and points for water and electricity, but unfortunately the town hall has not activated them. Recommended: a place in the village with all services.
I am giving only four stars because, although we did not need them, the water and electricity are not working. It is clean, flat and free, and we spent a quiet night here. Shops and the municipal pool are 300 meters away. Thank you to this municipality, as there is no other decent motorhome area nearby.
