For the 1st 4 days they will be doing their Gold Expedition but the rules say they must camp. Does anyone have any ideas of suitable places/ albergues that allow camping after Gijon...

    Camping Urrobi, 5ks-ish out of Roncesvalles?

    Anyone stopped here? http://www.campingurrobi.com/ I love swimming at the end of a walking day and it looks to have cabins, campsites and river swimming as well as a pool. On google maps it appears to be just off the main road from Ronces, past Burgete. I never noticed it as I walked thru the...

    Camping in France & Spain

    This will be my first camino. I've been doing a lot of research and have figured some things out, but I've also come up with more questions. I've never done a long-distance hike before, but I am determined to make it from Le Puy to Santiago summer 2014. I don't have a big budget, and since the...

    Wild Camping on The Caminho Português - Allowed or Forbidden?

    So, I talked with some people here in the Forum in the last few months, and also in the Hotel where I work about doing wild camping in Portugal. Since there was a huge interest in knowing if it is legal or illegal to do it, I’ve decided to search for the law that regulates this activity. This...

    Wild camping etiquette on the CdN?

    1. To get permission from the property owner do you just walk up to a house, knock, introduce yourself and ask permission to tent there for the night? (I'm not fluent but my Spanish is sufficient for short conversations like this.) 2. Is it rude to knock on the door of a private home during the...

    Camping gear on the Camino

    We have decided, after much deliberation, to take our tent when we do the Camino on our bikes. For various reasons really. One thing we would like to know from other campers is: should we carry a small stove with us in order to make tea, etc.? Also, I suspect that there is no shortage of eating...

    Camping along the Camino Del Norte

    Hey all - I am planning on hiking the Camino del Norte (primitivo at the end) this August and want to camp the whole way. I read from posts years ago that albergues not in large cities let pilgrims pitch tents for free on the albergue property - is that true? Is there a camping guide to the...

    Camping on the VDLP

    I have read many if not all the threads on camping on the The Camino. Most of the detail is about the French Route in the north. But I apologize if this is a repeat topic. I cycled/walked the French Route in the fall of last year and camped part of the time. I would like to walk the VDLP in...

    Camping, sort of

    Hello, I have read in Camino Frances forums that some pilgrims are allowed to camp on the albergues property if the facility is full. I plan to bring a tarp and a light sleeping bag and do not mind staying outside from time to time, sometimes prefer it. Any input on this subject is greatly...

    Camping on the Le Puy route

    Hi all, Can anyone give me any information on the practicalities of camping between Le Puy and SJPP? I'm reluctant to book ahead (part of the magic of the Frances for me was the freedom of simply walking til stopping felt right) but am aware that I'll be walking in Sept/Oct which is likely to...
