Terrible. Nada recomendable
Terrible experiencia de inicio a fin. Estaba lleno de niƱos de 20 aƱos, y todo estaba pensado para ellos, por lo que les ponen karaoke de 21 a 23h, y da igual lo mucho que griten o alboroten a cualquiero hora de la noche, no hay normas. No solo no se puede dormir por el escƔndalo y las voces de los fiesteros, si no que la cama es horrible tambiƩn, imposible dormir. La cocina sucisima y ni la limpian cuando cierran de 21h a 6am. El baƱo sin papel y 2 duchas para mujeres para todo el camping. Desastroso. Nunca mƔs
