Camping Lagos De Somiedo

Liked: Location- absolutely stunning position, nestled between mountains in a designated nature park. The number of wild flowers is extraordinary. It’s a very rural place with cows roaming free, horses, goats etc. Lots of beautiful well marked walks and the local town (3.5km down hill) has a pool and little museum. The campsite has spaces for tents only (no car access) and grass pitches for campervans. They specify nothing longer than 7m which is good advice as the access roads are very tight! They won an award for being the best mountain campsite in Spain and we can understand why. The staff are very kind, helpful and friendly and the general atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Such an amazing place, we stayed longer. Disliked: There was a festival going on up the road, with live music starting at 10pm and finished at 6.18am, for 2 nights! So maybe check if that’s running if you like a really quiet nights sleep! Recycling set up wasn’t clear.

We spent around three days on the site in our campervan and had the most wonderful and peaceful stay. It was very early in the season(late May) therefore very quiet which was a bonus for us. The staff were very kind and easy going, the location absolutely stunning, and we were lucky to have glorious warm sunny weather, with some evening misty cloud occasionally descending (it’s very high up in the mountains, over 1000 m above sea level). Having a little bar and basic provisions available to buy on site is very helpful and the showers aren’t fancy but were clean and good and there are laundry facilities. We enjoyed the gentle companionship of the neighbouring cattle in the field beside us, and the lovely farm dog and donkey that visited us, and sheep and horses. Kids would love seeing all of those! There’s a picturesque river running alongside the site and beautiful walks from the site further up into the mountains. It was hard to leave as we felt completely at home and welcomed!

Super location and very picturesque. Owners are extremely friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere of the site is welcoming with a pleasant bar, selling a small selection of meals which has seating in and outside. A great location for walks up the mountains directly from the site. We were staying in a camper van with electric hook up. Overall a very peaceful stay - (except for festival weekend in July which goes on all night for two nights!). The only reason I have not given 5 stars is because the toilet blocks could be modernised, however they were clean with plenty of hot water. Would definitely go back.

This wonderful camp site is phenomenal! The nature is unbelievable, such a awesome place. You are surrounded by mountains and beautiful views, almost the only thing I could here have been the bells from the cows. It's also a really good place to do some walks in the valley and also to start a hike to the lake or the mountains. The owner is such a nice and friendly person :) There is also a small market where you get the most important things which you need for your stay, like fresh bread, really good ham and cheese, water, coffee, beer, wine,... Thanks a lot for the lovely stay, Thomas 🇦🇹🏍️

Possibly Europe's best camp site. Beautiful place. Lovely natural camping ground. You have to park the car and carry your possessions to nearby camping ground or use a supplied wheel barrow. No electricity is a bonus as stops people playing music etc and disturbing the tranquility. Delightful clean stream flows through the site.

Family, 2 adults 2 kids and 1 tent. One of the most beautiful campsite I ve been in. The road to reach it is tricky but the place is amazing. There is shade for a tent, a restaurant, a bar, a small shop, all you need to shower...The owner were speaking English too .

Expensive for what you get. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for the whole campsite (>200 guests). Our place was stuffed in the middle of a parking space, as they did not have sufficient parking places. When we said this to the reception, it was told that she only worked in the reception and she didn’t mind. The surroundings are beautiful, but we were very disappointed with the facilities and service.

I always feel that it's important to be fair and understanding when writing reviews. In reality, this is a good campsite. It's rated as a 2 pennant site and I would say that is fair. The views are spectacular, and the surrounding areas are quiet and beautiful. The horse riding they provide on site is also a great addition and very well priced. The site itself is situated in a very quiet hamlet at the top of a very steep and challenging road. Be aware if you are in a campervan/caravan. Sadly, there were some negatives. You were not allowed to drive your car onto the field so setting up and packing away can be difficult. You have to park the car in their car park but you are then charged for the privilege of bringing a car which I find wrong. Equally, after paying for a large tent I would expect to have that large space, despite being in a smaller tent. Instead, i found people camped right in my porch area and right behind me (they were so close every time they went to their tent, they kicked mine). There are no clear pitches so you can go anywhere you want. This needs to be controlled better On the last night of my stay, we had our neighbours smoking pot. This is a family site and so therefore totally unacceptable. I also feel that the toilets were not enough and often very dirty. 4 showers, and 2 toilets+2 urinals is not enough (fyi this is not covid-19 restrictions as was previously claimed). This could be a 5 star campsite if some small changes were made.
