I am leaving this review because I find what people say about this man outrageous. I was here this week and had no problems; the man is very pleasant. Someone always has to manage these places, otherwise it would surely be chaos. The people who speak badly of him are probably those who do not know how to behave. If you behave properly, the man never bothers you. We will definitely return.
The place is great. Previously, for €3, admission to the pool was included and you could at least take a shower. Now you pay to stay with your tent; if you only spend the day, you do not pay and can use the toilets and barbecue facilities. It is a public area. The latest comments about Aurelio must be from his friends, because he is very arrogant and rude. He may be right about what he says, but he does not know how to address people respectfully.
Some negative comments make it seem impossible that those people actually visited this area. I was there this weekend and find the spite in those comments incredible. The area is excellent, very clean and reasonably priced. We were given a receipt for the cleaning and maintenance expenses paid to the town hall. The information and service were excellent, and I recommend it.
Aurelio is a delightful person. He explained how everything works, and I was very happy because it was exactly what I was looking for: €3 per person per day, including electricity. There are toilets, barbecue facilities and water, plenty of trees for shade, and the facilities are very clean. An excellent place; we will definitely return.
I have been coming to this place for many years, and Aurelio has always managed the camping area. This year they started charging €3 because maintenance does not happen by itself. He has always given me a receipt. If you do not like it, do not come. It is a place where we must respect one another and not party until 3 a.m.; go to a pub or bar for that. It is a place to connect with nature. My only criticism is that they should mark out the pitches with numbers and electrical hookup posts. I hope that happens in the future. Otherwise, everything is perfect!
The two reviews below are by shameless liars. I have been three times and have always been given a receipt for what I paid. The town hall appointed the man they call Aurelio to organize things. What cannot happen is having to reprimand people at two in the morning for the partying they were doing. If €3 per person per day including electricity, water and toilets seems expensive, go to a campsite.
What a shame. Since a man named Aurelio started making you feel unwelcome through his attitude toward spending the night in the parking area, which is legal. In the public recreational area, they have set up a camp of questionable legality and want to charge you in cash even if you only park outside and do not use the recreational area. The pool gets 10/10, the little shop 10/10, and the bar too, but the makeshift campsite they have set up is awful.
Beware. Public area. A man named Aurelio wants to charge €3 per person per day, in cash only. He says he works for the town hall but does not provide a receipt or invoice. The mayor says he is a collaborator but knows nothing about the money. This smells like a scam or tax fraud by the mayor. Again, be careful, and if you go, ask for proof of payment.
Everything was great, a magnificent village and above all wonderful people. To get the keys for the bathroom, you have to speak with the town hall.
We spent one night alone but very peacefully, with toilets and tables.
