  • Beachfront location on the Costa de Trasmiera
  • Pet-friendly accommodation and pitches
  • Restaurant, bar and surf school on site
If being very close to the coast is a top priority on a Spanish holiday, you'll be pleased with the blue waters and stunning surf of Loredo, a quiet sandy beach over a kilometre long in Cantabria's Costa de Trasmiera. And right on the beachfront is Camping Derby Loredo, a Spanish seaside site with direct access to the beach via a private path and – perhaps most excitingly of all – its own surf school with classes and equipment hire. After working up an appetite on your board, head back to base and to the site's café-bar or restaurant, where there is a large terrace for outdoor meals and drinks. A kids' play area is on hand for the little ones, and well-behaved pets will find a warm welcome at Camping Derby Loredo too. A handful of Loredo bars and eateries can be reached within a 10-minute walk, while just to the west in the slightly larger town of Somo there are also supermarkets that can help with self-catering stays. For travels further afield, Camping Derby Loredo is a smart pick, as the site is located under half an hour's drive from central Santander and its ferry port.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Position was super overlooking the sea, surf school for those wannabe surfers and child play area very good.

Disliked: Site looking scruffy in need of a little tlc, toilet block was ok but need more frequent cleaning. Lack of fresh water taps.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Although we visited out of season , the facilities were spotless and generally the site was very clean . The staff were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble , we will definitely use the site again without hesitation.

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike, but then again we visited out of season so had no expectations, could be different when the site is busier??

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Superb location on a stunning beach

Disliked: The campsite! This site has the potential to be a very good site but is let down by a severe lack of maintenance and no evidence of any cleaning of the facilities. The showers had no hot water and most of the shower heads were missing.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We chose this site for it's proximity to Santander ferry port on our return journey to the UK. Upon arrival the receptionist was very helpful and spoke good English. The pitch we were allocated was not suitable or large enough to put our caravan on, so she advised us to choose another pitch which was fine. A path from the site leads down to a beautiful sandy surfing beach, & we noticed that most of the other site occupants appeared to be keen surfers.

Disliked: Upon arrival there is a steep slope, but there is no specific area to park your outfit while in reception. While the site itself was ok the shower & toilet block left a lot to be desired. This was our last site on a 6 week tour of Spain & Portugal, & the shower block was by far the dirtiest we had come across. It was evident that the walls, doors & floors had not been cleaned properly for some time. Some shower heads were missing & the shower doors were encrusted with sand. In the washbasin area there was no soap, no hot water and no drier. Consequently we used the facilities in our caravan.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Acceso directo a la playa

Disliked: Parcelas muy pequeñas y apiladas sin claras barreras. El personal correcto, pero claramente sobrepasado por el trabajo. Los baños acumulaban olor a orina hacia la tarde y les vendría bien una fregada ocasional para evitar accidentes por resbalones. Muy caro en comparación con otros campines de mejor calidad.

Local attractions

From its roots as a small farming community, Loredo has grown to a popular Spanish seaside resort and these days is a well-kept village with shops, several restaurants and a supermarket. Somo, also a seaside resort and also with a surf school, is a short drive or leisurely walk away at less than three kilometres. If you're off to the smashing bay of Santander, the ferry terminal is about 25 minutes' drive from Camping Derby Loredo; if you're staying closer to home, the Dunas del Puntal y Estuario del Miera coastal park is about 3km from base. Sailing, canoeing, golf, horse riding and other activities are available nearby. Twenty-five kilometres from the site, Cabárceno Park, a wildlife park in a former iron mine in the town of Cabárceno, is well worth a day trip.
