Alan Rogers Review of Camping Cabo Mayor
This 2.5ha camping was created in 1981 by the Quintanilla family overseen for the past 25 years by Jaime. A pleasant location and at 8km from the port ideal for those utilizing the Santander ferry as an initial stop on arrival in Spain or a rest point pre departure. It is important to note this site only accepts cash.
The 56 medium sized grass touring pitches have a 10amp electric supply, water tap (drinking) and dishwashing sink. The site also has 120 dedicated tent pitches and 49 bungalows for hire. On site, an all-season bar/restaurant with terrace and TV (closed Mondays) serving basic but adequate meals and pizzas. Adjacent, an outdoor pool which opens mid-June until end of season.
Cabo Mayor Lighthouse is just a short gentle uphill walk from the site entrance which affords superb views. Adjacent to the lighthouse is a bar/restaurant serving quality food well attended by locals. Buses operate all year 400 metres from the site and during July/August stop at the site entrance. There is a golf course 100 metres from the site.
Facilities at Camping Cabo Mayor
At the lower end of the site a clean sanitary block to a very high standard. The shower cubicles are slightly different in that they do not have a door but the shape provides a reasonable degree of required privacy. Washbasins are cold water only. A second block nearer to the tent area opens in the high season. Laundry facilities. A small shop for basics is open during the high season although milk, bread and bottled water is available all season. The large outdoor pool and paddling pool opens mid-June, free Wi-Fi throughout the site and gas/electric barbecues are permitted (no charcoal). Dogs not accepted.
