El Rosal Campsite

From El Rosal campsite you step straight onto the sand: it sits right on the front line, between Merón beach and El Tostadero, on the edge of San Vicente de la Barquera, with direct access to the beach and the Picos de Europa in the distance. It operates from Easter to October: in November 2026 it is closed and reopens at Easter 2027. In the meantime, the Hotel Playa de Merón, a minute's walk away, rents its studios and apartments all year.

Pitches cannot be booked: arrive before 11:00

Almost all pitches are given on a first-come basis; bookings are only accepted for long stays. From Easter to mid-July and from late August to October there is usually plenty of room. Between the last week of July and the third week of August, go early: places are freed up every day at 11:00, with no guarantee.

What a night cost in 2026

VAT included. In 2026 low season ran from 27 March to 11 June and from 13 September to 11 October; mid season from 12 to 30 June and from 1 to 12 September, and high season was July and August. The 2027 rates have not been published yet.

Twenty bungalows with a porch

The 20 bungalows sleep four or five people: one bedroom with a double bed and another with bunk beds, a living room with kitchen (ceramic hob, fridge, microwave, kitchenware), a bathroom with shower, heating and a furnished porch with its own garden. They come with sheets, blankets and pillows, and a parking space. They are booked online; the price appears when you check dates.

Showers, washing machine and restaurant

There are three washroom blocks with hot water 24 hours a day, self-service washing machines and dryers, a mini-supermarket with the basics, a restaurant with a terrace, wifi throughout the campsite and a children's playground.

The surf beach in front

You walk out of the campsite straight onto Merón, the town's long beach, and the Yellow Bird trail passes by here along the Oyambre coast. The surf lesson at Merón takes place on the same beach.
