Gaivota Camping Cat.2

Smashing campsite; immaculately kept. Great value for money; beautiful beach just across the road; excellent reception staff; bar prices really reasonable.
Pitches are a little “tight” but well kept.
Showers / toilets clean and efficient.
A lovely little gem in a lovely part of Spain.

Fabulous location, just across the road from a wild and glorious beach. On arrival we were shown tiny plots to the left of reception, maybe because we were in a campervan? We had a walk around and found larger, though not huge, plots to the right and so asked if OK to pitch there, to which the answer was Si, no problema. The facilities are really nice, lovely powerful showers and toilets with paper and seats. You can order bread for the morning. The bar area is great for a sun-downer, we did eat there one night and it was just ok. As one fellow camper said to us, there seems to be lots of vegetables in the fields but somehow they never appear on the menu. The road cycling was good, in one direction towards Ribadeo along the coast, then another heading inland and up some brutal hills and back around to Ribadeo and home along the coast. We tried to cycle to Foz but it meant cycling a really busy main road which we did and it didn\'t make me happy so we about-turned. There are forest trails that look great but not with our road bikes, rather you\'d need hybrids or mountain bikes. We stayed a good few days as we had three cycle trips, a day on the beach sunbathing and two days walking the beach in either direction - windy but refreshing. Highly recommend this site, though be warned you have to pay cash. You are advised of this on arrival so at least you\'re aware before check-out time.

Stayed on this lovely friendly campsite for 2 nights, great aspect just over the road to sandy beach. Restaurant had local dishes at various prices so something for everyone. A visit to \'Praia do cathedrals\' is a must do, we went on the way to foz as had a large motorhome to find parking for. Good to fill in security form for site on line beforehand to save queuing but free once completed.

Came for a one night stopover on way to Sandiego but liked it do much we changed itinerary to come back for 3 nights on way back. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Facilities immaculately clean. Beautiful beach directly opposite, down steps. Restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. Pitches to suit all but largest RVs, although a little short of grass at the end of the season. Would I come again? Definitely! Thoroughly recommend!

Just over the road from the beach which is clean and stretches for miles. Restaurant looked good and busy with customers. All pitches are hedged, but a couple maybe tight for larger vans. Would recommend this site and will likely return to explore northern Spain.

Well fell upon this attractive family run site by accident whilst touring the area. Yes it is fairly small but that is to it’s benefit. Situated literally across the road from a beautiful beach the pitches are compact but certainly adequate all served with electric hook-ups, well defined and plenty of shrubs/trees.
The facilities are situated in the centre and provide showers, wash rooms, toilets, washing-up, laundry including machines. Plenty of hot water and even a communal BBQ specially constructed in a small court yard. So much thought has gone into developing the site to make it so attractive. It is maintained to the highest standard and kept scrupulously clean.
All this is crowned by the very friendly and welcoming staff who are always available to help.
We must mention the bar – absolutely excellent, very well provisioned and we were spoilt with the offerings of varied tapas accompanying our drinks.
Would we visit again – YES most definitely and hopefully on our return north at the end of our trip. It is only 4.5km from the applauded As Catedrais beach which is a must to visit but only at low water.

We stayed here a night on our journey west in Northern Spain. It’s location is great, just across the road from a lovely stretch of beaches. We have a campervan and managed entry and pitch size fine but it would be impossible for a large motorhome. Facilities were fine, very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing information about local routes of interest. We ate in the bar/ restaurant...a delicious meal and drink at very reasonable prices. There is a small shop and bread can be ordered for the morning. We visited the amazing Beach of the Cathedrals a few minutes up the road...well worth a visit. I would recommend this site for anyone wanting a very restful, beach side location.

Great little site next to the beach. Very clean facilities, staff very friendly and helpful, the lady behind the bar is a star. Would recommend this site and we will also return.

A charming and quaint campsite which is well maintained and run. Very close to the beautiful coastline and beaches

We had a warm reception, great advice as to where to pitch up and, being quiet at the end of the season, could park our car on the plot next door

The pitches are big enough for a caravan/motor home with awning and there is car parking available next to the road outside

Bathroom facilities are clean and well maintained as are the washing , BBQ and drying installations

This pitch closes on 15/10 so bear that in mind if you are traveling out of season

Lovely relaxing site with lovely easily accessed sandy beaches directly across the road from the site, pitches are a bit tight for a larger caravan or motor home, but otherwise highly recommended
