Bilboa to Barcelona any recommended campsites
Being our first time on this route, we are thinking of taking the toll free route?
Planning to camp on route in Bilboa, Pamplona & Huesca before arriving in Sitges (where we have already booked a site).
Has anyone travelled this route? Any advice or tips would be welcome and of course recommend any good overnight (or two) sites.

If you could let us know when you are intending to travel I'm sure you will get lots of help and suggestions.
We have travel part of the route you intend, we came down from France and traveled via Zaragoza to Sitges.
On our return we stayed at Huesca before going through the Somport tunnel back into France.

i usually take the Zaragoza route and have stopped there a couple of times....other places mentioned on that route are Haro and Longorno.
BTW, we dont travel particularly speedily but ine stop will do easily to cross to Sitges.....very nice there, too.

Thank you all for your welcomed experiences and very good advice.
Our ferry arrives in Bilboa on 4th April next year, we are booked into our campsite in Sites on 11th. So we have 7 days to explore the journey! Pulling a van is a little restrictive, so hoping to find some
good campsites en route from which to explore. Any recommendations & experiences would be welcome.Will take the advice of "another David" and stay on the toll road to Burgos, don't want a steep hill if I can avoid it.
I hear that Zaragoza is very nice, any campsite recommendations?
Please keep the information coming in, this is so useful.
Many thanks

We live in Spain and do this journey quite often, forget non-toll roads like someone as already mentioned they are full of HGV's,Tractors and all the other slow vehicles. The AP68 is by far the better route to take for a caravan and quite cheap compared
to France, Haro and Lograno are both good sites but oh dear Zaragoza is becoming a dump and of one of the worse in Spain although i still use it at least five/six times a year because it comes at the right time of our journeys. The pitches are fine if dry
but very messy when wet but the showers/toilets are a disgrace but as a night halt ok.0 -

We used Zaragoza on our way to the Costas last year, I wouldn't describe it as nice but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as some make out, or as bad as it used to be but at €29 a night I won't be using it again other than in winter when most else are closed. The showers I found to perfectly ok, they are clean roomy and plenty of hot water.
In April lots of other sites are open so why not give it a miss and try one of those, this year we stayed at Lake Caspe, its an Acsi discount site so only €17 a night, its about 10 miles from the AP-2 set in a lovely area. Good facilities, restaurant and bar, swimming pool and a lovely walk around the Lake I believe (we didn't). The other site we stayed at last year on our way home was North of Huesca, Camping Gavin, good site with views of the mountains from all pitches, its a tiered site again with good facilities, restaurant and bar, also Acsi discount €17. Hope these are of some help.
Sitges town is lovely, the beaches are very clean and plentyful, which site are you booked into?
