The website of this campsite states they are open all year round.  We drove 170 miles to stay there only to find it was closed.  Nothing on their website to say it was closed or no signage on the gate.  Only found out by asking local people in the bar.  This is totally unacceptable and not the way to operate a business.  Don’t trust them.

MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT

This is a great site.  Pool open in October.  English spoken.  Friendly staff.  Great pitches and facilities., restaurant and bar.  Close to Comillas and Santallina del Mar, very near the coast but quiet countryside location.  ACSII accepted.  

Green coast Spain

The place was spotlessly clean. Bit crammed in for camping but thats quite nice. It is a lovely spot but the staff in the bar/restaurant were a mixed bag. Some couldnt try to be nicer but the big fat  bird and I assume her (toothless) daughter behind the bar couldnt be ruder with her constant tutting n eye rolling. We left earlier than planned to find somewhere pleasant to stay. She needs a job in something less exciting for her!!!

El helguero - mmmmmmmmm

Stayed here for 3 nights, quiet so got to choose our spot, lovely clean and warm showers, used the laundry, had drinks at the bar, got fresh bread every morning. Reception staff were very helpful.Only negative was food at the cafe was very basic.

Lovely stay

Great little campsite. Roomy pitches, the emu works off UK cables. Three swimming pools including a covered pool. Nice bar and restaurant on site. Little shop sells basics including fresh baked bread.Polite and helpful staff. Would definitely use it again

Great little site.

This is the second time we have been to El Helguero, the first time was in 2019, & it is still a lovely camp site, especially with the addition of an indoor heated swimming pool. We stayed in a mobile home & noticed that they've been replaced with since 2019.
Reception were so helpful and nice, and the service on the site was very impressive; we mentioned when we arrived that there was a small problem with the fridge & within a few hours they had brought a new replacement fridge to install.
They were happy for us to have barbeques & on the Friday night they had a really good band playing near to the camp bar.
It's near to the beautiful beaches of Playa de Luana and Playa Comillas, and there are some nice local walks and cycle riding routes too.
It was another lovely holiday & definitely recommended.

Great Location in Cantabria and Lovely Site

We stayed 8 nights.  We are a large rig and were glad of a site in this lovely area that could take us - and with hard standing.  I think the site was officially closed, but would take campers with prior agreement.  Lovely green site.  Good showers.  Electricity repeatedly tripped as only 6amps which is a pain in winter!  Wifi not that good but we were out on the edge of the site.  Bar served a wonderful gin and tonic!!  Site is under new management which is upgrading the facilities.  

Out of Season

We stayed in a cabin which was small for a family of 5 that includes teenagers! Compact inside but with a lovely shady terrace. The campsite is very busy and popular with Spanish families, the bar serves fairly well priced food. 
The staff were really helpful, especially when our car battery died the day before the end of our holiday! The lovely lady in reception organised a mechanic who arrived almost immediately.
Overall, if you want a good value, busy, family site and are happy to be surrounded by Spanish families this is a good choice. 

Very Spanish campsite!

Our first jaunt in the Motorhome on foreign soil with our dog Bertie, the Border Terrier. We were nervous - will he behave? Do they like dogs? What happens if he hates it?  Need not have worried on any level.  The campsite was great, plenty of room, good facilities and you know you’ve chosen well when the site is mostly used by locals for their holidays. And the location was perfect.

Two humans and one dog

Best showers west of Moscow. Had menu De dia and pitched up for good value camping.  Nice flat pitches and good clean loos. Pool and  bar open all day for drinks. Menu for €10 was a filling bargain for two hungry cyclists. Ample hot water with good power for showers. Didn't try the pool as it was very rainy.
