Camposoto Beach motorhome parking moved due to overcrowding
Original source: La Gaceta de Cádiz

In Brief

San Fernando municipality relocates the motorhome parking area from Camposoto Beach to a new site near the Bay of Cadiz Natural Park Visitor Center. The move follows a surge in motorhome travel and complaints from other beachgoers.

The authorities of San Fernando (Cadiz) have decided to relocate the motorhome parking area at Camposoto Beach. The new site will be located next to the Visitor Center of the Bay of Cadiz Natural Park.

Reasons for the move

  • A sharp increase in the number of motorhome travelers in recent years.
  • Constant high occupancy of the current site.
  • Complaints from other beach visitors who could not find parking for their cars.

The new area is larger, which should prevent overcrowding. It is connected to the beach by a pedestrian path. If necessary, the parking can also be used for cars.

The authorities emphasize that this is a parking lot, not a campsite. Setting up camp (tents, chairs, tables) is strictly prohibited.
