Hi Sienna Moon!
I did both as well as camping on the grounds of albergues. My favorite "wild" spot is in the hills before Los Arcos...wonderful. My favorite campground is in the old bull ring in Najera! Best thing about the campgrounds are the uncrowded bathrooms and laundry areas! Best...
Great info!
PS. I am overweight, and have never had any problems walking the camino frances.... 3 times, but I notice that people who train only on flat surfaces...gym bunnies..yoga gurus..urban dwellers...have the most problems.
Frank, I would be interested in hearing about your camping experiences after your done, or while on the way. I have camped a lot on the Camino Frances and really enjoyed the privacy breaks my tent afforded...John
