Best site for visiting Valencia?

[Purrfecttune]

Did our first ever European visit from April to July in 2024 and toured all around Spain visiting many cities, towns and mountain villages.

Valencia was one that we missed (although heading North our SatNav took us through a really busy part of it)!

So we are looking for recommendations for a stop outside of Valencia that offers easy access by regular bus, or close enough for an inexpensive taxi. Happy to consider off-grid (providing its not risky) or campsites.

Quite liked Pobla de la Farnals where we stayed last year. It does have a direct bus service but only one every 2 hours

Thanks

Lots in El Saler with bus to valencia, we stopped at the beach car park but it was winter, looks like is no overnight in summer.

We used Valencia Camper Park, it's right next to a Metro station.

Another vote for Valencia Camper Park. Very close to a Metro station. They sell tickets for the Metro at reception.

Thanks Lenny & GerTee.

I found a posting from last year that recommended that one, along with ‘Nomadic’ and both of those look good for us

Same as us. Rough and ready but train into the city is easy.

Quite posh compared to most places we stop.

We used the Nomadic Valencia Camper Park and very impressed with it. Short walk to the Metro Station that goes straight into Valencia. Reception staff very helpful and English speaking. They sell the Valencia tourist card that also covers the Metro and happily tell you where to get off for the tourist area.

A paid site! Were you feeling unwell at the time?

I was going to suggest Pobla de la Farnals. At least it's a freebie plus a fair bit of ad hoc space across the road.

Cyberyacht: Went there based on your recommendation and really liked it, would definitely visit again, but not as a base for visiting Valencia due to too few busses.

Yep, that is the one we have stayed at a couple of times and used the excellent Metro system. But I am not sure how the flooding has affected it.

Platja del sayer (Valencia)

We left our spot this morning and picked up LPG at 83 cents and made our way to a free Aire which is probably as close to Valencia as you can get. It's slightly to the north and reviews were mixed. Having negotiated the roads of Valencia to get...

Reading back it was 8km to town on a dedicated cycle route. What I remember it was free. Stay there as long as the toilet casette could take it. We may well use it again this year

It was Easter week.

If you go to Valencia Camper Park, try the Paella in the camp bar. Pretty good. Chef appears Spanish but he is from London.

Nice atmosphere on this site
