Lovely location with great views of the mountains. Some nice walks from the site and within a short drive. Potes is very near and easy to walk or cycle but the return is uphill and a strain if its hot (40 deg when we were there!) The site is well kept and clean, hot showers (mind the slippery floors) and the staff helpful. We didn\'t particularly rate the food but it was busy and we had to go for takeaway so expensive really. Pool large and refreshing when it\'s hot..swim caps a pre requisite!
Plan any visit to Fuente De carefully...ticket sales and queues chaotic and best to book in advance.
Generally recommended. Our view is that the terraced pitches are quite cramped especially higher up...we struggled for space with a VW T6 and small awning and were wedged on. Lower pitches larger but taken by a large Dutch group who probably knew this!

We waren er begin juni en dachten op een mooie rustige camping terecht te komen. De ontvangst was prima en het personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De plaatsen waren klein, de camping was erg vol en erg onrustig met bijv buren die tot laat tv keken. We zijn daarom na 1 dag al vertrokken naar een andere camping waar het veel rustiger was met ruimere plaatsen.

Travelling party: Single

Kein Zweifel: die Gegend allein ist so spektakulär, dass man dort gerne mehrere Tage bleibt und dabei permanent sein Blick auf die „Picos de Europa“ richtet. Der Campingplatz lässt keine Wünsche offen - mehr Service und Qualität braucht kein Mensch. Wer klug ist, fährt mit seinem Womo ganz nach oben und dort nach rechts, bis er den besten Blick auf die Berge hat und so gleichzeitig den „Kuschel-Campern“ entkommt, die weiter unten eng auf eng stehen. Wer gerne wandert, hat hier die besten Möglichkeiten - allerdings nur dann, wenn er sein Fahrzeug bewegt oder in ein anderes Fahrzeug (z.B. Jeep) zusteigt. Wer vom Campingplatz aus seine Wanderungen startet oder auch von dem sehr schönen Städtchen Potes aus, der läuft erst einmal große Strecken auf asphaltierten Straßen oder daneben. Da helfen auch die Empfehlungen der freundlichen Platzbesitzer nichts. Dennoch unser Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert, es war sicherlich einer der besseren Campingplätze während unserer dreimonatigen Reise durch Spanien und Portugal.

Uitstekende camping met vriendelijke personeel, goed onderhouden sanitair. Camping ligt in een prachtige omgeving, op loopafstand van het gezellige stadje Potes.

Dit zou een fantastische camping kunnen zijn. Het sanitair is keurig verzorgd, lekker warm water en erg schoon. Fantastisch groot zwembad om lekker baantjes te trekken. De ligging prima om mooie wandelingen in de Picos te maken en dichtbij Potes. In het restaurant kun je voor zeer schappelijke prijzen een simpele maaltijd eten met goede bediening door een vrolijke ober. Er is een winkeltje op de camping voor de basis boodschappen. Ook heel praktisch is de waslijn op iedere plaats. Echter de plaatsen zijn krap en de camping stond bomvol half september. Het had meer weg van een parkeerplaats. Bijna niet te doen om de caravan op het krappe plekje te krijgen. Het was daardoor ook erg rumoerig. Niet ons idee van een fijne camping. Maar op alle andere punten valt niets af te dingen. Wie bovenaan staat langs de rand met uitzicht op de Picos heeft waarschijnlijk een andere ervaring.

What a simply delightful campsite. Excellent location, lovely friendly and helpful staff. Shower block spotlessly clean, and maintained in that state all day. The showers have taps not push buttons and there is plenty of hot water. The restaurant, though offering a basic choice, is excellent value, they do a local dish that\'s for 2 people, it\'s gorgeous!
The town of Potes isn\'t huge, and there\'s jot a lot there, but there are 2 supermarkets. The walk back to the site IS uphill, so if you want much shopping take the car. There is a small shop on site.
A couple of points re logistics. The only fresh water supply points are one hose at the MH service point which is right at the very bottom of the site, so fill up before going to your pitch. There are 2 more taps (oval push button type that you can only get a watering can under) outside the shower block, but that\'s it! Grey waste is only at the MH service point. Black waste at the toilet block. To be fair the vast majority of visitors to this site are motorhomes or camper vans, and the pitch sizes reflect that, the site was pretty full while we were there, with very few caravans indeed. There is a reason for this. The road to Potes from the coast is narrow and twisty, so probably not for the nervous towers (my rig is just over 12m total length, and I managed OK, but if the road is busy it would be a time consuming journey in either direction slowing down for oncoming vehicles, but coaches travel it. and its certainly worth the effort!
If you approach the site from the SW along the N625/621 and are towing a caravan then the road is, to say the very least \"challenging\" ! Its fine until the last 10 - 12 miles, it then gets very narrow, very twisty, and its downhill all the way. There are very few places to pull in to let your caravan brakes cool down, so if you see one stop as your caravan brakes WILL get very hot even if using engine braking to the full.
The N627/184 route (from the SE or Burgos direction)really should not be attempted if towing! In places its very rough and unsurfaced, and in others again very narrow and twisty (and steep) If in a MH or camper make sure everything is well stowed, if not you will find everything has fallen out of the cupboards!! but the views along it are awesome!!! (I drove it just with the car after we were pitched up)
Do be sure to \"do\" the Fuente De cable car, just be aware it can get very busy, and there are just 2 cable cars that take a max of 20 people at a time the journey time is 4 minutes in each direction.
Apparently, in the height of the season, you can queue for an hour plus in each direction (arrive early before the coaches!)
But the campsite itself really is in a superb location with fabulous views of the Picos from the higher pitches. We wouldn\'t hesitate to return.

Beautiful campsite with amazing views, good facilities and all very clean, ideal for visiting the town of Potes and also walking in the area, it\'s beautiful.
Only downside to this site is having to pay with cash to get the ACSI rate, having said that a very nice site.

Lovely views especially from top pitches. Nice swimming pool. Helpful lady in reception who gave advice on where to walk. Very noisy at the weekend with Spanish weekenders. They cook and eat late (10:30 pm) and with the pitches being very close and small it can make for a very noisy evening. Good value basic meals in the bar. Handy shop on site.
