Camping

[Bikeguy]

Just returned home from cycling Le Puy to SJPDP and we stayed in campgrounds each night. Not for everyone I know but excellent quality and great value. The most we paid was 13 Euros with an average of 9 Euros per night and this was spit between two of us. We were on bikes but did often saw walking pilgrims camping. Many of these campground also have cabins, permanent tents, caravans, etc. as alternative to tenting. Generally located with the towns or close by and some have cafes, bread delivery, shop, etc.

French campgrounds are great---better hot water than most hotels, walking distance of town. We frequently stay in a campground and spend our money in a nice restaurant.

In Spain the situation is not so great. I think the refugios have put a damper on the need for campgrounds, so there are not as many, though I for one would be happy to camp rather than deal with the refugio scene.
