We'll share them with you here. :)

NORWAY
CAMPGROUND > Holmset Camping
A chillaxed campground by the Øysterelva River and surrounded by farmland - the perfect place to spend an extra day to relax and recharge.

Two areas for tents: near the bathroom facilities and by the river.

Communal kitchen and small recreation room with books (some in English) to borrow.

Spain
CAMPGROUND > Camping La Viorna Picos de Europa
One of our favourite places to stay in the Picos de Europa at the top of Spain.
1 km from picturesque Potes on the famous 'Pots and Pans' route (Potes to Panes).
Quiet location with stunning views of the Picos de Europa National Park and nearby bell-endowed cows.
Convenient onsite restaurant, small grocery shop and two pools (season-dependent).
Very well-maintained and clean.
Run by a lovely family - one of the daughters had a new baby in 2023. :)
