The worries that you cite unfortunately depend on what might be described as the luck of the draw.
You can only reserve a bunk in advance at private albergues or hostals. If you have a reservation you should be assured of a bed. Without a reservation it is first come first taken. However some of these places have or know of 'hidden' backups, Ie another floor or adjacent out-building. Often hospiteleros will call around to help find you another affordable space.
Thus finding a bunk in the busy season CAN be difficult. That's one reason I have always gone in autumn and winter. It may be cold but there are plenty of bunks!
By the way near Zariquiegui as well as close to Alto de Perdon and Uterga there is much open space. Perhaps ad hoc camping might be considered.
Good luck!,

Quite a few people I knew ended up doing this. Cizur Menor seemed to fill up quite quickly, and hospitaleros were telling people about buses back to Pamplona.whariwharangi said:There is a bus service to Pamplona ... so if Cizur Menor is booked solid take the bus back into town for the night.
Hey Tom , Why not try the Albergue Trinidad de Arre just before Pamplona and make sure that you get there early - we have been speaking about this Albergue recently so much more info if you search the forum about this particular Albergue. :wink:Bouwmeester said:I expect to walk through Pamplona on July 12th (during San Fermín) what's the best way to go for a plan B?
frasert said:I can highly recommend the main albergue near the cathedral in Pamplona (Jesus Y Mary) and the little cafe across the road opens at six thirty am for the best 3€ breakfast.

Go to the HOME page , scroll down to Ivar's Camino Frances ' work in progress' and you will find phone numbers for most of the Albergues under each Albergue featured.Bouwmeester said:Renshaw, are you sure Trinidad de Arre is also opened during the festivities?
