Set in beautiful, lakeside surroundings this is a great stopover when using the ferry.
The safari park was closed when we visited July 13th 2017.
The access is via a fairly narrow road in the centre of the village.
Can get pretty crowded with vehicles as the evening progresses.

This is pretty site with free services. The official MH park is sloping and most people appear to opt for the general car park which is more level and overlooking a lake. The site backs onto a safari park and a short walk allows you to see elephants roaming and bathing for free. There were cowbells ringing all night from cattle in a nearby field when we were there. I imagine the service point being a little awkward for longer vans as it had a ramp. We didn't use the fresh water supply as it was directly above the chemical disposal point and didn’t appeal to us. The Safara park itself looked huge and interesting and worth a visit either on foot, bike or by chairlift. Being with dogs and only staying for one night, we were unable to do this. The area as a whole is not much good for dogs due to the animals and ducks but definitely worth a visit otherwise.

Ideal stop over on way too or from the ferry ports of Santander or Bilbao. Can get very busy on a weekend, particularly bank holiday ones. There is a good fresh water supply just beyond the service point on the left on the way out as there is
only one water tap at a he service point itself. Excellent views of the elephant enclosure. Pleasant walk from the end of the aire.

Fantastic spot to stop over, only 15mins to/from the ferry terminal at Santander.
Services are minimal but functional , and free. Parking by the lake is a must as the listed site is on a slope, we had no complaints in June.
A short walk to the fence and we could see elephants and other wild animals. There is a new cable car only a few yards from the aire which goes over the park.There are 4 restaurants within 2mins walk.
Would suit any size van, we will go here again.

Visit the elephants before breakfast. They are only a few minutes walk away from the parking area. Very peaceful. Lots of space.

A fantastic spot for a night or two when coming to or from Santander ferry. Although we got a bit lost, we followed brown signs and then Cabarceno and the car park is through the village. Only 30 mins or so away. There's plenty of space, especially in the flat, lower car park. It's very quiet and picturesque. We've not assessed the facilities yet as it hasn't stopped raining - although I couldn't think of a better place to sit out the storm. Oh, did I mention it's all free. Hope to go spend some money in the village by way of a thank you.

Good stop for coming or going on the ferry, about 40 vans there but still plenty of room.

Perfect aire with lots of parking and great views over the wildlife parks elephant enclosure. Services all there for grey & black water and there is even a tap providing fresh spring water! Just be aware if you use a sat nav ours took us on a new road (of course we may have mis-read it) which it then didn't recognise so we did a detour. There are brown tourist signs to it though so best to follow these then the sat nav will pick the route up again. Best of all there is no charge for this aire. Great location before or after the Santander ferry.

Basic stop with water / wc empty, but right next to animal park where you can see the elephants and buffalo. Short walk to lovely village with plenty of bars / restaurants. Try the local cider served in 75ml glass bottle to share, are worth it. Beautiful country setting, but not far from the main routes from Santander / Bilbao
