We are about to retire and intend going to Spain for the winter.
We have a 26ft 5th wheel and a dog.
We will do the ferry to Spain.
Can anyone recommend sites in the south,close to the beach? I assume dogs can go on the beaches in the winter?
We are not interested in extras like a pool and entertainment but it would be good to have a few activities like boules and Spanish lessons would be even better.
We mainly want a reasonable price,
clean hot showers/toilets,
good walking/cycle routes,
close to a nice village/town to sit with a wine and people watch and pitches which would be a comfortable size for our unit and our vehicle.
Does such a perfect site exist? I hope so!
Also, are there any sites anyone recommends for a stopover between the port and the south coast?
Thanks
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
A site that ticks all your boxes is Camping Pinar San Jose, at Canos de Meca on the Costa de la Luz south of Cadiz. We spent last Christmas and New Year there, and saw three 5th wheels - not all that many sites can accommodate them, but Pinar has a few very large pitches. However, it would be advisable to book well in advance.
There are a number of reviews on here, including ours. The area is lovely, much less built-up than the other Costas, with huge, clean beaches that dogs are allowed on in winter. Although we don't have dogs or bikes, there were plenty of people enjoying life there with both. It's a short walk to the nearest beach, and behind the campsite is a large forest of umbrella pines, part of a Natural Park and excellent for walking.
As for suitable sites on the way south, we stayed at Burgos, Salamanca (Regio) and Caceres - all in the review section. Burgos certainly has room for a 5th Wheel because we saw one there. Regio has fairly small pitches but, like a lot of sites in winter, there is room to park on the site roads if a pitch is no good. Again, the Caceres pitches are too small but at the top end of the site you can park on the road - there was a huge RV doing that when we were there.
