My husband and I did the Camino in Sept and Oct 2011 and camped six times. Camping can be more expensive than staying at an albergue, but it offers privacy not found there. We carried a hubba-hubba tent that is light and easy to assemble, mats, and, of course, sleeping bags. Even on the colder nights I managed to stay warm by wearing my fleece clothing.
We stayed at the following places:
- Roncesvalles, in the field behind the hotel. Register at the abbey.
- Caming Urrobi 2 km from Espinal/Aurizberri
- Albergue de Peregrinos Padres Reparadores, in the courtyard, Puente la Reina
- La Playa in Lagroño
- Camping
Camino de Santiago, Castrojeriz
- Albergue Tesin (in field across the street) Rabanal del Camino
Our guide listed other campground, but they were not convenient to the Camino. Who wants to walk an extra 3 or 4 km and back? Have fun, enjoy your walk and camping.
