camping

Greetings, I am planning to start my walk from Le puy on May 17. I will be arriving Le puy around 7 pm on 16th via train and looking for a place to stay for the first night. I see a campsite " camping De Bouthezard" at the north east end of the town. Can i walk from the train station to the...

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...

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...

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...

Hello Everyone, I was wondering for all of you who have already walked the Camino if you could tell me about any fire regulations they may have in Spain. I am planing to walk the Camino myself probably in late summer, I want to do most of it by camping out (privacy sake) and was wondering...

Hey there fellow peregrinas and peregrinos! My sister and I are starting in Lisbon next month (yay!) and are considering using private accommodation until Porto, then getting sleeping bags there and accessing the pilgrim accommodation from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. Anyone know of any...

Hello All, Hiking the Camino in the spring of 2013 with a large group. We will be starting in Porto and were wondering if its possible to camp along this route. Not sure if there are locations and or laws that will prevent us from doing so. Buen Camino Mike 8)

Good afternoon, Has anyone recently camped along the Camino del Norte? Thanks for your help. Frank :D

Hello, I'm not planning on camping every night or anything like that. But I think I would like to spend one or two nights outside. I know that camping seems to be frowned upon on here, but if you had to pick the best place to camp out for a night, where would it be? Thank you

Hi, I have scoured this Forum for useful information, as well as a few other websites with both positive and negative feedback. I fly into Biarritz on 3 July and will start the Camino Frances from SJPP on 4 July. I have not prepared physically for this 30+ day walk but as I play 11aside and...

Hello! We are planning to take the northern route from the third week in July with 14 days to walk to Santiago. Where should we start our journey? We are a group of students with limited funds, so we plan to cook by ourselves and carry our own tents. How is camping on the Northern Route? I've...

Does anyone have information on campsites on the way fromFerrol to Santiago via A Coruna and on to Finisterra/Muxia Thanks.

I cant wait - 7 weeks and counting until our very first Camino :) Myself and my dad, are starting in SJPDP on the 9th of July.. We only have a couple of weeks or so, and so our target this time round is Burgos. We will return as soon as we are able to complete the second half.. We plan to...

Im a 25 year old female wishing to camp the route de norte this July - could anyone help me with information re: camping in albergues (outside ofcourse!) and camping along the trail. I was thinking that being July I wouldn't feel quite as isolated as other months of the year but need a bit of...

Anyone have any recent information about which albergues allow camping/use of facilities? (for payment, of course)

Me and my walking partner love the idea of camping along the route. What options are there to set up a really basic bivouac on the warmer nights along the way? Can you just set up any where off the beating track? What are the dangers to consider when camping like this? Thanks

Hello everyone! I have walked a few Camino's now and am considering walking from Lisbon to Porto in April. Has anyone walked this way and wild camped at all? Obviously at some points I will stay in accomodation to have the odd shower and whatnot, but in general I like to camp and cook on my own...

Hi the interest of camino de norte has increased alot inside of me. However i was very discouraged by its expensive hostels. Do you think it will be safe to camp around? I will be there in may and am a female.

I've searched fairly thoroughly but haven't been able to find a list of alburgues on the Camino Frances where one is allowed to camp in the grounds. Has anyone ever compiled a definitive list, please?

I often do short trips in the woods and use a http://warbonnetoutdoors.com/blackbirds.phphammock and tarp for overnights. I like this setup as its very light and comfortable. I wouldn't want to use it every night as part of the camino is the social aspect of staying in albergues. Are there...
