  • In the Oyambre Nature Park surrounded by the Picos de Europa
  • A short walk to the beach and local fishing vilages
  • Pools, play area, restaurant, bar and terrace overlooking the beach
What a superb Spanish setting this is… Camping Rodero is in San Vicente de la Barquera, right in the Oyambre Nature Park and surrounded by the Picos de Europa mountain range. And it's a short stroll to the sea: beach fans and mountain fans, this is a site for you. The beaches, coastline and small fishing villages of the region are within walking distance, but within 50 kilometres you'll be among mountains, woods, rivers and lakes; the Cabárceno National Park is about an hour away too. Guests have access to toilets, showers with hot water, a washing-up area and token-operated washing machines. For your leisurely options, there's a seasonal outdoor pool for seasonal outdoor dips, a court for tennis and football (do try not to get these mixed up), and a playground to entertain the kids for a spell while you get on with important sunbathing business. If all these leisurely pursuits have worked up an appetite, make your way to the restaurant and bar for eats and drinks, and more leisurely times on the terrace overlooking the beach. The site also has a grocery shop.

Liked: En general todo bien. Muchos árboles y buen sitio. La playa muy bien, aunque hay unos 700 metros andando.

Disliked: No tienen portarrollos en los baños y los rollos, cuando los hay, están por los suelos sucios. Muchos grupos de adolescentes que arrasan con todo en los baños

Kawita S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Established campsite with plenty of tree cover in a great location, short walk to beautiful beach with good surf. Friendly with very helpful staff, very clean and hot showers a treat. Good restaurant with happy vibes on site.

Disliked: Unfortunately we were wedged in between two surf camps, both with very loud base music playing from 10am until 11pm. We were up and out to surf early every day but when we returned we were not able to switch off and relax at all. It seemed to be quieter on the side of the hill facing the entrance, if you are given a spot on the other side of the hill, move if you are over 25!!! Sadly, this did affect our stay a lot, we would have moved on after one night had we been able to secure a campsite elsewhere but as peak season we didn’t feel that we could esp with the kids in tow. Camping Rodero and/or PitchUp - could you make it more clear on your websites as to when the surf camps are there, I expect it is beautiful there when they are not! Could consider warning the campers on the surf camp side of the hill so that they can choose to move or stay elsewhere?

Alex C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Walking distance to the beach

Disliked: The campsite and those around the area are almost all dedicated to surfing. I don't have a problem with this but what I did object to was the music that was played till the wee small hours. The toilet block invariably did not have any toilet paper and the dishwashing area did not have hot water.

Local attractions

Camping Rodero is in scenic and activity-filled San Vicente de la Barquera, an old fishing area where it's highly likely you'll want to snap shots of the beach and village edged by the snowy mountains of the Picos de Europa range. Have a wander over the Maza bridge and then stop off for some evening Barquera hotpot, the local stew of tuna and potatoes. Also nearby, wander the beaches, cliffs and dunes of the Parque Natural Oyambre/ Oyambre Nature Park to see ancient Cantabrian landscapes, or head down to Cabárceno Natural Park in an old iron mine just outside Santander. Hiking the Picos de Europa mountain range and visiting its caves are other topping options (you'll see plenty of critters around the park too, including brown bears). And if you've a cave connoisseur, the Cave of El Soplao is a bit of a subterranean must, as its 17 miles are considered unique in their world for the number and quality of their speleothems.
