Hopefully ( finally !! ) back at Beni Mid Jan to mid March
I understand it is nowadays extremely busy and full... I have tried ( and failed ) on both La Torreta and Arena Blanca web sites to either book a place or even get a firm price

La Torreta is our preference but any help or suggestions would be most welcome ( we have a dog hence camp site choices )

From what I've heard La Torreta is full until May !!!!!!!!
IF you are over 8m Arena Blanca is a no no the roadways are bad enough with our 8m

That's why we went out to La Vila Joiosa and the two sites there that are capable of taking us (Alicante Imperium and El Torres ) we are on El Torres from 1st March next year

Given Mo's mobility issues it looks like we are going to have to rethink the whole thing.. We need somewhere in Bewni really or else she will have to spend the whole time at the van ( more or less )

Hope you can get there John. We’re at Arena Blanca, with quite a few others.

As far as Mo’s mobility goes, Arena Blanca is on the level and close to bars and restaurants, but as others have said, it’s really chocker this year.

Fingers crossed you can find somewhere, it would be lovely to see you both, and of course my gorgeous boy Dillon. xx

Both sites in Vila Joiosa are dog friendly
Yes, but sorry to say, too far out for us. Woman can get about on her mobility scoot but thats it

In my experience a couple of years ago I’d park on the roadside sooner than La Torreta, it was like a travellers site

Email La Torreta, hopefully you'll get a pitch booking this far in advance. We just turned up and had to wait a week in August.
Best site in Benidorm, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Each to their own.. We have been on TOrreta about 7 or 8 times

As above John, definitely email La Torreta, I'd be surprised if it's fully booked already.

I sent them a mail yesterday morning. no reply as yet, but fingers crossed

You could stay a bit further out and hire a more heavy duty scooter if your wife's doesn't have the range. The two camper parks in finestrat or the one Carpmart suggested.

As far as I know Raco does not allow dogs ?

It is more a question of stamina with Mo
I have a limo ( :-) as in two seats ) scoot that has a claimed range of 25 miles :)

It JUST fits in the garage of the van

Earlier this year I stayed at Camping La Media Laguna, it's between Beni and Albie.
Nice modern site with large pitches and good facilities, certainly takes 8 or 8 metre vans, wasn't too expensive but probably need to Google for prices.
