Choose your pitch carefully

Very Spanish site, quite noisy in high season, with very small pitches and narrow access roads. Wash facilities good and well maintained. We stayed here in August on a hard standing pitch. Beware it is virtually impossible to get even heavy duty pegs in for the awning as mostly small boulders not gravel base. Luckily no heavy winds during our stay.  Area lacks many basic amenities for tourists unless you only want to visit bodegas. Local area felt very empty and trying to find an open bar for lunch in the villages and towns was mostly a lost cause. Very few shops and other facilities. Great area for walkers, although very hot when we were there so need to carry lots of water.

Excellent site and location

We stayed for 2 nights in early June 2016 and could happily have stayed longer. The facilitiies are excellent and it has one of the best pools I've been in. The restaurant is really pleasant and the set menu was really good value at around 11 euros for 3 courses with wine and bread. The town is in easy walking distance and well worth a visit - not too touristy and with a very nice, laid-back feel to it.

Convenient site.

We stayed here for 2 nights in June 2016. The bathroom facilities are good and washing machines available. We camped near the perimeter fence which was lucky as the site became quite crowded on the Friday night with a lot of families. There are a lot of permanent caravans so imagine it is very busy in season. It was walking distance to many bodegas and ideal for visiting the Rioja area. There is a very pleasant 8km circular walk through the surrounding vineyards.

Haro in early Spring

We were unfortunate enough to arrive with some cold wet weather when the Semi-Permanent Spanish caravans where at their worst state of repair and quite depressing. I feel the picture of the site somewhat misleading with regard to space and openness, due again to the numbers of semi-permanent caravans. The 6 amp power supply was quite limiting- could not use our electric Kettle !! Due to a damp winter the pitch was very muddy with no grass. On the bright side the Toilet, Shower and washing-up facilities were perhaps the best we encountered on our trip. The location of the site is excellent for access to the town of Haro and is also for visiting la Rioja.

Good Choice

This is a nice site within easy walking distance of the town.  At the time of our stay the toilet block was heated and was very acceptable. The staff in the reception and restaurant were very helpful and pleasant. Would be more than happy to stay here on future journeys to Spain

Good stopover

We stayed 3 nights early May.  A well positioned site as a stopover.  A lot of seasonal plots taken but all was quiet during our weekend stay.  We used the open field area which is flat and has two power supply towers.  Showers ok.  Bar/restaurant only open at weekends out of season.  No shop on site. Not a lot going on in the town.  If you are into Rioja this is the place for you with all the Bodegas within a stroll of each other near the station.

If you want Rioja this is the place to stay

"Lets go to Spain" I said to the boss, "Oh good, we can visit Rioja" she replied. This site is a ten minute walk into Haro, restaurants, coffee shops, and sightseeing, just outside town there is a Lidl. Even closer are loads of Bodegas and for a small fee tours and tastings are available, well worth it. Just down the road, that's driving for 20 minutes, is Briones and an amazing Museum about Rioja and is MUST see, but allow at least 2-3 hours. This site is a great location for wine buffs, drinkers, snifters, but not members of AA.

Good Overnight Stopover

Although what the previous reviewers have said is true, there is an area on grass you can park that is fine. (although you may need a long lead as there's only 2 electric points) The showers are clean and very good, and the town is only a short walk and is lovely with an abundance of restaurants. The site is perfect for a stop over on your journey to or from the south. We only wished we had stayed an extra day to visit one of the local Bodegas as we were right in the middle of the La Rioja region. The site is not as bad as some overnight stops we have had through the central area of Spain.

Disappointing

Location was good, as it is a short walk into the town and to several Bodegas. An uphill walk to the bus station for a worthwhile trip to Logrono. The facilities were good and clean. However, the general state of the site was disappointing, coming straight off the ferry at Bilbao, compared with the UK sites we are used to. Other people's comments about a 'shanty town' are quite correct. Having booked several weeks ahead, we were surprised to find that the site had no record of our booking. However, they seemed pretty relaxed about it, as the lady who seemed to be associated with the bookings was on holiday. A big however is the fact that we needn't have bothered booking as midweek the site wasn't busy and we would have paid less than half the price using our ACSI card. Because of that, it is unlikely we shall use the Club overseas booking service on a future occasion.

Not a good stay

We were a bit disappointed as we drove up to the site, it didn't look inspiring, the disappointment continued after we checked in and were told to park anywhere. As we drove round it looked more like a shanty town, sheds and covers everywhere, several caravans that looked like they had been dumped and were waiting for the scrap man to arrive, we saw several pitches that were just dirt where they had been covered for to long. We found a pitch and set. Wanting to cool down we walked up to the pool, the gates were locked which was good as the pool area was full of litter, and the pool itself was a nice shade of green. Let's try the bar, another no go,it only opens at the weekend,guess what,that's when the Spanish that use the site like a residential site arrive. The one good point was the shower/ toilet block,very clean,good showers and hot water.  Apart from the that the site was shocking. We were booked in for 4 days, with no other sites close by we were stuck. This was not the holiday or the site we had booked, I called the caravan club and was told the pool was contracted to open till mid September. No way did it go that green in less than 2 weeks. We felt badly let down by the club, as we could have been told about this when we booked several months ago. The photos on the club site seem to be taken from the site brochure which look several years old. The club offered a "generous" 15% refund. Which considering the false advertising lets them off lightly. Would I visit the site again, I think not,the area however was stunning,added to by the fact that the grape harvest was in full swing, laguardia and nereja are well worth the short drive. This is the problem with booking and being asked to pay in full several months ahead. Would I book another overseas site with caravan club, definitely not. I have several photos if anyone is interested.
