Guest Reviews
Location
Despite being located near a major road with some traffic noise, the environment remains peaceful and charming, dotted with eucalyptus and chestnut trees, offering a true retreat into nature. The campsite facilities, including the swimming pool and leisure spaces, are well-maintained and spacious, ensuring a comfortable stay.
However, the camp is somewhat removed from the town of Arzúa with a distance of about 1.5-2 kilometers to the center. While this provides seclusion and quiet, it does mean a bit of a walk to reach restaurants and other services within the town. For many visitors, this slight distance is a minor drawback compared to the overall beauty and calmness of the location.
Overall, TEIRABOA BASE CAMP is highly recommended for those seeking a scenic and peaceful location directly on the Camino de Santiago, offering both convenience for hikers and a restful haven in nature.

Dinner

The restaurant’s buffet menu was criticized for being expensive with limited variety and the quality of the food was inconsistent with some describing it as awful or mediocre. Service issues were mentioned, including long waits and unkind staff and the restaurant's operating hours were restrictive, being closed on Sundays and Mondays. This often forced guests to seek meals elsewhere. Additionally, the facility's pet policy and the lack of certain amenities were points of dissatisfaction for a few patrons.
