Great location, agree with previous comments. However a new wooden barrier has been installed along the back which means vans over 7.5m will have to overhang the road!
Sitecode: 2455
Excellent overnight stop close to A75 motorway. Medieval town with all facilities. Free services. Recommended.
Sitecode: 2376
The front row places are narrow but who cares, the views are fabulous. Carro village has everything you need, daily fish market, twice weekly general food market, plenty of eating places, two bakers and a small supermarket. Would avoid the high season but at other times I reckon this is the best place on the French Med. Weโve been coming here for years and always look forward to being back.
Sitecode: 4808
Agree with the previous comments; a great place overlooking the canal. There is now a more open/less trees place at the end where you can get a satellite signal and sunshine for your solar panels. And space for larger motorhomes and trailers. Recommended.
Sitecode: 84597
Great location alongside river in the summer and plenty of extra parking nearby on tarmac for when itโs raining. Satellite signal possible in most places. Emptying facilities (very dirty) a short walk away at campsite entrance. Recommended for a few days.
Sitecode: 1656
A bit run down but OK, plenty of space and some hardstanding. Main problem is no rubbish bins on the site. There are some large recycling bins 100m away but the one for general non- recyclable rubbish can only be open with coin or cc payment so bags left on the ground. Not clever!
Sitecode: 88161
Excellent free Aire with free electricity (only 8 sockets so get there early!). Small village market on Saturdays and two boulangeries. Recommended.
Sitecode: 1445
Very busy as expected at this time of year but enough space between vans. The cassette emptying place doesnโt have any free rinse water. Drinking water is โฌ2 extra. OK for a night or two.
Sitecode: 25483
A bit disappointing. Itโs too expensive for what it is. There is constant background road noise. I think the emptying facilities need updating. There doesnโt appear to be a grey water drain and the cassette emptying place was blocked. Also fresh water tap in the main field seems to have been removed. Obviously shower/toilet block closed due to Covid. Ok for a night.
Sitecode: 1558
Good overnight stop. Parking for bigger vans is a bit tricky; the desire for a satellite signal overrules common sense and sensible parking arrangements! On a main road but quiet at night. Small supermarket in town. Clean service area. Recommended.
Sitecode: 1690
Excellent stopover near to N10. Plenty of shops within walking distance. Only one water tap so take care!
Sitecode: 19691
Convenient stopover for A62 and A66 motorways. Plenty of spaces on tarmac. Services in poor condition, possibly blocked so didnโt use.
Sitecode: 45870
Stopped for services, all clean and tidy. Parking places quite sloping but ok for a night. Easy walk to shops.
Sitecode: 10815
Fabulous views but you might need to keep your sunglasses on in bed! The nighttime flood lights are very bright indeed. Still an awesome place even so.
Sitecode: 10812
Nice clean well designed service point with spaces alongside. We only stopped for lunch but would be fine for a night.
Sitecode: 63404
Great place by the lake for a couple of days. There is also another larger area 500m further on. Apparently the area by the lake will be cleared by police on weekends and holidays to allow locals to park. The downside is that the service point is walk/drive away from the parking. There is a rinse water tap in the old laundry house next to the service point. Recommended.
Sitecode: 25440
Moved here from the river at Mertola as it was so hot and airless there. Cool breeze here now but could probably blow a gale sometimes as itโs very open and flat. Plenty of space on the field area. Token needed for drinking water but free cassette rinse water.
Sitecode: 12238
Nice place next to the river, fine for a night or two. Always busy so get there early. The approach roads are narrow with parked cars but ok for us (8.5m length). 157 steps uphill to town!
Sitecode: 19644
Excellent place, great views. Excellent local restaurant in the village. Recommended.
Sitecode: 15767
Didnโt think Iโd like this place but actually itโs ok for a few days. Need to arrive early, only 3 places left at 9:30am! Full of long stayers, some taking up more than one space with cars and trailers. With more considerate parking there would easily be space for another 10 or 15 vans. Easy access to beach and village with supermarket.
Sitecode: 69876
Perfect! Frank, the owner, is a motorhomer so knows exactly what we need and everything is here. Always full so essential you book online.
Sitecode: 60060
Way too expensive for the poor state of the place. Ok for a night but no more.
Sitecode: 29002
Excellent free Aire, stunning views, get there early!
Sitecode: 64117
A real disappointment. The surface is sloping and full of dips so impossible to get level and any level areas are occupied by long stayers. The power was switched off when we stayed end February probably to discourage even more long stayers.
Sitecode: 48495
Despite an uninspiring location itโs ok for a few nights stopover. Well organised, clean and tidy, with all necessary facilities. Cheap diesel and lpg too.
Sitecode: 20676
Very busy so get there early. Great views and plenty of bars, restaurants and two supermarkets. Park on the harbour wall if you need electricity or next to the lighthouse if you donโt. Recommended.
Sitecode: 6512
Excellent stopover right on the N330, but quiet at night. Free services and cheap fuel station. Recommended.
Sitecode: 84627
Convenient new Aire for transit routes to the coast. Clean and tidy and services working in winter. Uninspiring location but does the job so a welcome additional stopover.
Sitecode: 48021
Agree with the other reviews. Quiet at night, but lit. Great views over vineyards. We stay on our way to and from Spain in the winter as itโs not far from the Bordeaux ring road, usually no other vans at that time of year. Perfect!
Sitecode: 14605
Good stopover. Has a new credit card payment machine which means all the long-termers have gone!
Sitecode: 19810
Excellent stopover for tunnel or ferries, quiet and sheltered. Havenโt stayed during high season or public holidays so always had space when we were there. Services a bit expensive at 5euros. Recommended.
Sitecode: 20290
Decent stopover 50mins from the tunnel, overlooking the canal. Services looked clean and tidy but didnโt need to use them. โฌ4 per jeton is a bit expensive but many of the new Aires are that sort of price now. As others have said; get there early to guarantee a place.
Sitecode: 7033
Excellent Aire, been here many times over the years. Always busy in the the season so get there early! Shower, toilets, electricity and services all for โฌ8 definitely encourages long stayers. Places now properly demarcated which keeps the awnings under control. Good vet in town for those returning home with pets.
Sitecode: 6553
Excellent place right on the river. Not too large and decent sized marked out places. Some places are quite sloping so may not be able to get absolutely level. Adequate services with free cassette rinse water. The only negative is that itโs grossly over lit at night. Edeka and shops all within walking distance. Highly recommended.
Sitecode: 3023
OK for a stopover. Next to a main road but quiet enough at night. Plenty of sockets but only three in each cabinet are 16amp CEE, the rest are 10amp 2-pin. The real problem is that the facilities are a significant distance away, so this site should be reclassified as having no facilities. The facilities should be listed separately as a service area without parking.
Sitecode: 956
Small site with spaces overlooking the river. 16 amp electricity with just enough sockets. Basic emptying facilities. Sadly a couple of noisy British vans with four dogs between them parked right next to us so we had to move on. Pity, we were hoping for a few days peace and quiet, but thatโs the luck of the draw!
Sitecode: 2823
Excellent site right on the riverside. Likely to have space even on a holiday weekend. โฌ8 + โฌ2 for 16amp electricity. Should be enough sockets but you may need a very long cable. Water is โฌ1 for, at best, 60 litres which is a bit mean but free cassette rinse water. No trains or roads nearby so quiet. Cycle tracks both ways so good for dog owners. Recommended.
Sitecode: 8851
Excellent place overlooking the river, friendly owner who speaks English and an easy walk into town. โฌ8.50 per night + โฌ2 for 6amp electricity. Water is โฌ1 for barely 50 litres which is a bit mean. Emptying is awkward to access for larger vans. Even so I would still recommend this place.
Sitecode: 48115
Agree with the previous reviews, plenty of space and friendly owner who speaks good English. For the riverside places you will need at least a 50 metre cable, maybe longer. Reception sell beers and wine. Recommended.
Sitecode: 77407
Fabulous remote place next to the Elbe. Fresh water but no emptying. Showers and toilets available. Access is down a cobblestone road and field track before the marina. Restaurant on site. Recommended for a quiet few days.
Sitecode: 3678
I agree with other comments that itโs a great place. The only problem is many are living here for months so all the best places are taken. I can understand; only 1euro per day for access to shower/toilet block, only 2euro per day for 16amp electricity. However 2euro per day per dog is a bit cheeky! Good fish restaurants on site and clean services so not all bad!
Sitecode: 51009
Good stopover. Extra for water and electricity. Noticed some campers emptying their cassette in the toilets. You have to get a paid card for the showers and toilets. Didnโt use any of this so canโt comment on them. The sandy parking area is very soft in places so be careful if your van has front wheel drive.
Sitecode: 21874
Not nice at all. Doesnโt deserve its rating. Very scruffy. The place just up the road on the next marina is much better although more expensive!
Sitecode: 27536
Ok place with good view of the Baltic. Not nearly enough electric sockets and very long cable required. Emptying facilities not good, there is a locked lid over the hole for grey and cassette emptying which costs 2euro to open and very difficult to get near enough to empty grey water. So all in all a bit expensive 8 per night + 2 for electric + 2 to empty and 1 for water! Very busy at weekends.
Sitecode: 18656
Excellent place for a stopover. Quiet at night and always plenty of space. The ship lift is well worth a visit. 2euro to exit. 6euro ticket to park in the marked camping car spaces but campers park in the car parking area, no problem and nobody checked for tickets.
Sitecode: 10596
Great little stopover next to canal, plenty of barges to watch. Despite roads on two sides, very little noise and quiet at night. We stayed during the recent heatwave and the breeze along the canal was very welcome indeed! No services and nobody checked for parking meter tickets either.
Sitecode: 55398
Great place overlooking the lake. Services all good and easily accessible. Free cassette rinse water (I hate places which charge extra for this), drinking water 1euro per 100litres, metered electricity if you need it. 8euro per night is ok for this place.
Sitecode: 24797
Too expensive by far. The services (which are free) are 200m away in the flower/plant nursery so nothing to do with the parking place at all! The pitches are close together and absolutely 8m maximum. The view is ok but not worth 9euro. Itโs a rip-off.
Sitecode: 915
Pleasant site, plenty of space, the road is noisy during the day but no problem for us. 8euro per day plus 2.50euro for electricity if you need it. Services all clean and tidy, free cassette rinse water. Drinking water 1euro or 10cents. Recommended.
Sitecode: 24789
Good place, nice views all round with boats moving up and down the river. 6 euros per night including 10 amp electricity, harbour master collects the money. A convenient stop not far from the motorway.
Sitecode: 20310
This is our favourite winter place in Spain! Very peaceful and undeveloped, four small bars which probably stay open in winter because of the motorhomes. Very helpful owner speaks English. This place has everything you need and nothing that you don't need, so no electricity and no unnecessary site facilities, just perfect views and perfect skies. This is our third year and we'll be back next year
Sitecode: 53941
not completely finished so services not working. A bit noisy during the day as there is a railway line alongside, but acceptably quiet at night. An Ok stop.
Sitecode: 7451
Great spot. Fab views of mountains all around. Services ok but use wc for emptying cassette. Recommended.
