Haro campsite

Camping de Haro, part of the Campingred chain, is on Avenida Miranda, on the banks of the River Tirón. It is an urban campsite in the best sense: flat, with plenty of shade from trees and asphalted lanes, about 10 minutes on foot from the old town and about 5 from the wineries of the Barrio de la Estación, according to the campsite itself. It lets you sleep in Haro without driving to dinner or to a tasting.

Pitches of 36 to 80 square metres beside the Tirón

There are small pitches of 36 to 42 m² and standard ones of 72 to 80 m², both with a 6 A electric hook-up; premium pitches of 80 m², with water, drainage and a 10 A hook-up, designed for caravans and motorhomes and not recommended for tents; and an open, unmarked area with 6 A hook-ups. You are not assigned a specific pitch when you book: it is given to you at reception, and on arrival day it is not guaranteed until 14:00, which is also when the camping day ends.

Prices are per night, including VAT. In low season, the small pitch costs €11.80, the standard €14.50 and the premium €18.50; in high season, €16.40, €21.60 and €27.10. People are added on top (adult, €5.80 to €8.40; child aged 3 to 10, €4.70 to €6.90), plus electricity (€6.70) and dog (€2.90 to €4.20). High season runs from 17 July to 30 August; mid season covers Easter and the weeks either side of summer; low season is the rest of the year.

Bungalows and cabins, no animals

For sleeping without a tent there are 29 bungalows and four cabins. The Mediterráneo and Toloño are for four, with one double bedroom and another with two beds; the Oliva and Bilibio are for six, with three bedrooms and a 14 m² terrace, and the Bilibio are close to the pool. One of the Toloño is adapted, with a ramp and an accessible bathroom. All have a kitchen-diner, bathroom, heating, air conditioning, television and bed linen, but no towels. The four Glamping Petite cabins are for two, with a double bed and bathroom, without a kitchen: you cannot cook inside or on the porch. No animals are allowed in any of them. Check-in is from 16:00, check-out before 11:00, and a €100 deposit is required.

Pools, zip line and picnic area

The pool complex has a covered pool with bubble jets and beach-style entry, open until 1 November, a large one with a water jet and two slides, and a children's pool with a slide and jets. There is a multi-sport court, a pelota wall, a climbing wall, a zip line, slackline, a playground and entertainment in July and August. The bar-restaurant is air-conditioned, with a pool table, and its terrace opens in summer. At the far end, a covered picnic area has barbecues, which may be restricted during periods of fire risk. The toilets are heated and adapted; there are washing machines and a chemical toilet disposal point.

Closed from 8 December to 26 February

The campsite closes on 8 December, open until the afternoon that day, and reopens on 26 February. At booking they charge 50%, and only refund the advance if you cancel more than seven days ahead.

From here, the Barrio de la Estación is a walk away, and the old town and the Herradura are there for dinner; for roast lamb, Terete is in the centre.
