  • Close to the beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris: shuttle available
  • On-site snack bar specialising in seafood paella
  • Seasonal pool, play area and market selling fresh bread and pastries
A seafood paella speciality – in Spain – by the coast in Cantabria – how splendid. Aim to spend mucho time in the snack bar of Camping Cabo De Ajo on your Spanish seaside holiday, for this is where cuisine-curious guests can sample said seafood paella as well as other treats like fried calamari and homemade pizza to have on the spacious terrace or indoors. Off site, it's about a kilometre and a half from Camping Cabo De Ajo to the spectacular beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris – and a free shuttle service runs from site to sands every day in July and August if you a) can't be faffed stirring that far on foot, or b) are laden with bucket and spade, games, towel, picnic basket and other beach-based paraphernalia. For day trips and city sightseeing, local town Ajo is 40 minutes' drive from Cantabrian capital Santander, and around an hour and 20 minutes in the other direction to Bilbao. Leisure facilities on site include an outdoor pool and a paddling pool, a playground and a games room. For the essentials, there are toilet blocks with free hot showers, a launderette and chemical disposal. The supermarket sells fresh bread and pastries, groceries, fruit and veg, and newspapers.

Lee A.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked Main toilets were clean - 5min walk from pitches.

Disliked We waited for 1hr10min for food with a 5 and 3yr old. When we ordered we were informed it would take 20-25min. This made the evening difficult. The food then arrived (literally 3 pizzas) and they were undercooked meaning poorly tummies the day after.

Marta C.

Electric optional grass motorhome pitch

Liked La lavanderia funziona bene e lava bene gli indumenti. Alla reception mi hanno aiutato e consigliato per gli spostamenti da fare per raggiungere Santander indicandomi la tratta Somo-Santander via mare che merita e ti fa risparmiare il traffico e il caos per parcheggiare della città. Vicino al faro molto carino.

Disliked Le piazzole se così si possono chiamare sono un campo pieno di buche e dislivelli molto esposto al vento senza un albero per l’ombra e come riparo.
È un campeggio che vive di persone che trascorrono la stagione estiva lì pertanto non ha interesse a curare le piazzole per i turisti di passaggio. Lontano da spiaggia e paese c’è una ciclabile per raggiungere il paese abbastanza faticosa al ritorno ma fattibile

Liked Es un camping que está muy bien ubicado.

Disliked Demasiado ruido. La fiesta del 14 de agosto duró hasta las 4 de la mañana. La limpieza de las duchas y baños dejaba un poco que desear.

Minerva L.

Electric optional grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch

Liked El precio

Disliked Las instalaciones, el césped seco, los baños, los lavabos, que no hay papeleras, la atención del personal del bar, lo mal gestionado que está, la ubicación que te obliga a coger el coche para todo, podrían tener bicicletas de alquiler o algo por el estilo pero bueno, pues no. La verdad es que no es nada recomendable, tiene muchísimos contras y pocos pros, la verdad.

Local attractions

Surfing, windsurfing, and fishing are among the watery activities available at the beaches of Antuerta and Cuberris, a short stroll or quick shuttle bus ride from the park. Snorkelling, canoeing and more surfing can all be arranged along the coast at Noja, about 15 kilometres to the east. The site team reckons guests in this part of Cantrabria should have a day or several in Cabárceno Nature Park, 30 kilometres from Ajo, to sightsee around its safari park setting for critters including ostriches, elephants, bears and rattlesnakes. Closer to home, the Santoña, Victoria and Joyel Marshes Nature Park is a popular spot for birdwatching and more nature spotting, among its migrating birds and marine animals. Within an hour's drive are the world-famed Altamira Caves in Santillana del Mar, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Subterranean sorts can also mosey along to El Soplao, to see its stalactites, stalagmites, minerals and fossils, or to take the mining train for a complete tour. And yet another must-see in the region are the rock formations of the Ojerada, near the lighthouse of Cabo de Ajo: follow the signs to the lighthouse then turn right. The Magdalena Palace and beaches of Santander are within 40 kilometres of the site.
