CAMPING ARGOS

Campsite is maybe 95% statics with a field for young groups up near the entrance and bar and a small area off about 12 pitches for touring families or couples. We stayed on the quiet family area, 18 euros per night for car, caravan and 2 adults in low season (mid June). Pitches are fairly small but we'll maintained. The photo of the empty pitch is actually 2 pitches the tree being the boundary between the 2. Access roads are narrow and larger units would really struggle to get on. Toilet and shower room cleaned daily. Reception staff friendly enough, bar is well stocked and frequented by the locals, prices reasonable and tapas, sandwiches and burgers available. Campground is in an area of many holiday apartment blocks, 5 minute walk to the beautiful beach and about 20 minute walk to Noja Town centre where you will find a couple of supermarkets and a few shops and bars. There are a few places to eat and drink down by the beach and a few more within a few minutes walk. Half hour drive from Santander so really handy as a first or last stop if you've travelled to or from Spain by ferry. Overall would definitely stay again.

The staff deserves a 5* review but the campsite itself it more akin to a trailer park than a campsite (without wanting to offend anyone). The vast majority of the pitches are occupied by long term stay trailers/bungalows, people even have their fixed washing machines and TVs installed. Only a small percentage of pitches are for actual short stay campers. On the positive side, the staff is very friendly and it's a 5 min walk from an amazing beach and the installations are reasonably good (showers etc). The kids playground is a bit old and rusty. The little shop has all the most necessary items and there are several very good restaurants nearby. We did feel that the pictures on Google maps are misleading, they make it look better than what it really is (for example the pool area).

We only stayed for a night with a small tent, and couldn’t sleep until 3 (even with earplugs) because of partying people on the camping field… the bathrooms were also not clean, and especially for the price (almost €40) we don’t recommend going here..
