Spain maintains over 1,000 official campgrounds (campings) with a combined capacity of approximately 650,000 campers. The sites are located in some of Spain’s most beautiful natural spaces as well as in some of its most unappealing, flat, dusty concrete zones. Each can accommodate anywhere from 100 to thousands of campers and cost anywhere from 1.5 Euro to 5 Euro per day, although children get a discount. Prices are levied per person, tent space and vehicle. An annual camping guide (Guía de Campings) is available at most bookstores and at some tourist offices; it lists every site and available amenities. Before choosing a campground, check to make sure what, if any, public transportation is nearby, as most are located outside of the cities, often outside the realm of public transport.
It usually isn’t necessary to make a reservation, though some of the more popular campgrounds are full during July and August and many are closed during the winter months. Like hotels, campgrounds are rated according to their amenities, from the nicest 1st class (1a C) grounds offering places to buy groceries, eat, swim, have clothes cleaned and play sports, to the median 2nd class (2a C) and the lesser 3rd class (3a C), which should at least have electrical connections and showers. Zonas de Acampadas are rural grounds with few, if any, facilities or supervision and no charge ?(occasionally, you will need permission from a nearby park official). These are not to be confused with private lands (coto privado), which are usually off-limits and, when near popular natural areas, may be indicated by a “No Acampada” sign. Mountain shelters (refugios) offer free camping in and around national parks. Camping on the beach and outside denoted camping areas is discouraged (and expressly forbidden by many local laws), but still practiced. For further information, contact the Spanish Camping and Holiday-Complex Federation.
