Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
No helpful suggestions, unfortunately, but just a reminder that you are allowed to be in the EU for a maximum of 90 days in one go, from when you enter to when you leave.

that is subject to wether I get stopped at the spanish border for a passport check
Your passport will be stamped at your entry to Eu and on exit, unless the electronic system is up and running. If you are over 90 days you will get found out!

The only sensible area of Spain / Portugal in winter is the coast as far south as you can. However, you will find tnat thousands of others already know that and campsites will be busy - so you may find it necessary to book in advance or phone ahead for availability. Climate figures are on line and will guide you what clothes to take.

I am in the EU now, my passport has never been stamped when leaving or re entering the EU
All I asked for was information on Spain and Portugal in the winter, not how long you think I can stay there. there are very few cross border restrictions here in the EU.
any information on campsites and things to see would be most welcome

It’s hard to suggest sites without knowing how far south you are aiming to get…but if you get to the area between Cadiz and Gibraltar then Camping Rosaleda is good and well placed to visit those two cities.

Yup - as far south as you can - Algarve in Portugal, Almeria to Cadiz via Malaga and Gibraltar in Spain. Only ever stayed in gites / air b'n'b down that part of the world.

Apologies, I’ve just noticed your location.
Location is only shown on the PC screens for UKCS. It’s not shown on phone screens / the app, which is where I read 90% of the posts.
The majority of UKCS members live in UK & Republic of Ireland, it’s the assumption unless we’re told otherwise.
Were in spain at mo. Mercia Sites are choca at this time of year (Germans). Use an ACSI card were you can . Some we like are Area camper in Mazarron. £15 per nite+ leccy or los madrilles in isla plana £23ish + leccy with acsi card. Venture out and explore place is beutiful and full of history.

we spent a couple of winters in both spain and portugal, for the better weather you need to hog the coasts the difference in temperature away from the coast is incredible. From Valencia going south is a good stating point. I can recommend Camping Tropicana in Alcocebre & Turiscampo in Luz Portugal, you might need to book in winter as its extremely busy
Thank you all for your suggestions
we will head as far south as we can around the coast into Portugal, hopfully heading off 3rd week in January, after we have flown to Iceland to see the nortern lights.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
