Hiya :D

I finally landed in Bibao this mornin , after too long a wait in the UK lol

Im on a campsite near Logrono atm , ive gotta coupla jobs to finish off on my van tomorrow , then thursday lookin at heading to Benidorm .

Anyone around that area ?
Know of any good and cheap aires around there ?
 
Just looked in my Aires book and they're all 12-15e per night around that area,if you want some coords I'll post them up but they aren't my idea of cheap,and probably why no one replied. I don't know the place so can't help otherwise.
 
Thanx for your replies :D

I stayed just outside Logrono , campsite in Naverette 17euros a nite , today i drove to Zaragoza , campsite is well dear , 19.75 euros :/

i'll hopefully find somewhere in Benidorm for coupla days , doesnt seem very popular atm lol

Move on to somewhere else after that lol

be lucky :D

If you are going to use sites then grab an ACSI card (book with card available from ACSI campsites usually), some aires and wildspots on here: Mapa de lugares furgoperfectos - Wild & not wild camping spots (Spain - Europe) - furgovw.org

Hiya Skar :D

ive only heard of the ACSI card coupla days ago , and yh it looks really handy ,
but ive got nowhere for it to be posted to , im a fulltimer . unless they can post to a site !?!? ive heard ya can register for it at a campsite , so why not get it delivered ay lol yh apart from security lol

Cheerz for the link :D
 
For Benidorm we stay in the main car park at Albir, it's right in the middle of the town it's enormous & never gets busy also MHs are allowed.
From there we get the bus in Benidorm or, if you are feeling energetic you can walk round the headland.
There are many places to WC in the area, just keep away from groups of other vans, they will get moved on.

work out where you are going to be in a couple of weeks , then get it adressed to lista correos at that town ; they will hold it for a while at the main post office there

it's the spanish version of our poste restante ...which is copied from french anyway !

Have you got an ACSI card ? Not a lot of Aires around there but there's some good campsites within walking distance of Levanti Beach. Stayed at Arena Blanca for 16€ a night last year. Excellent site facilities.

If your going to Benidorm they sell the acsi book in the local camping shop for €15,cheaper than having it posted to you as postage costs €4.75 to spain.
It's just opposite el raco campsite,its in English as well.

When we arrived in Benidorm 3 weeks ago we tried 4 campsites before we found one that had space and that was Raco (only 6 spaces at the time) and they wanted 27.50 euros a night so we moved on.

We ended up at Villamar (only 4 spaces left) at 22 euros a night before we found camping Benidorm at 12 euros a night or 80 euros a week, it’s quite a small campsite and luck of the draw if there are any spaces left.

We tried Camping Area Blanca and they said they were full but we could stop in the car park at the front (with no discount), there were about 8 vans already in the car park at 17 euros a night (with ACSI card) so that’s at least 17 euros a night to stop in a car park :lol-049:

To sum up the cheapest we could find in Benidorm was 12 euros a night and as already mentioned we wouldn’t fancy wilding in Benidorm as there are some dodgy characters about.

One of those dodgy characters, a forum menmber leaves for Andorra shortly, you'll be OK then.
 
I Agree.. we passed through a few weeks ago and did not stop as the sights were packed and mega expensive to boot, have started to wild camp only in coastal areas and use the sights\aire inland if at all as they are more reasonably priced.... intermarche is a godsend though water and wc emptying
 
Spain has the Parking not Camping rule - if the side windows or door are open or anything is on the ground outside you are camping. You get fined for camping unless its a designated spot. If you have side windows closed and nothing outside you are parking and thats legal unless signs specifically ban motorhomes.

However many local police in Spain are "enthusiastic" and move you on even if you are parking. Wild Camping is difficult in Benidorm.

I have wild camped near the beaches on the 10 mile stretch south of Valencia, usually ok this time of year for a day or two, but locals call police if more than a few vans for more than a few days.

There are 15 euro campsites around, as is said above ACSI card is good but not at Easter or peak times.

By the Port in Benicarlos north of Peniscola was good for several days, but in Peniscola I was moved by police after 1 hour.

I have used residential streets and shut all blinds, turned off lights and pretended to be an empty van, that helped a bit but I often didnt feel comfortable.

Hate to do it but Ive prebooked Camping Benidorm for 2 weeks at easter at cost of 10 pounds night.
 
I was advised by ACSI last year that they will only post to a registered residential address because so many books were getting lost after being posted to Sapin. If you're going to Benidorm ACSI books were being sold at Camping Area Blanca in addition to the camping shop already advised.
