At Camping Riberamar, you can step out of your bungalow, cabin, mobile-home, or shaded pitch and be moments from the Via Verde railway cycle route and the Prat de Cabanes–Torreblanca Natural Park. Open all year on Spain’s Costa de Azahar, this four-star base makes it simple to plan cycling, hiking, and birdwatching—without long transfers or guesswork.

Why Camping Riberamar is your Costa de Azahar basecamp

Camping Riberamar is located in Oropesa on Spain’s Costa de Castellón, close to Mediterranean beaches and the Via Verde cycle route. It stays open all year, so you can chase spring wildflowers, summer sea breezes, autumn light, or crisp winter clarity on the trails.

Via Verde: easygoing coastal cycling from the campsite

What is the Via Verde?

The Via Verde is a converted railway route designed for cyclists and walkers. These greenways are generally gentle in gradient, separated from traffic, and ideal for families and mixed-ability groups. Along the Costa de Azahar, the Via Verde traces seaside contours, offering broad views and a breezy, scenic ride.

How to plan a half-day ride

Start with the basics: check your gear, fill water bottles, and pick a time that matches your rhythm. Early mornings are quieter and cooler; late afternoons bring golden light.
Choose your direction: roll out toward the coast to enjoy a relaxed, mostly linear ride with Mediterranean panoramas. Because the route follows a former railway, expect a comfortable grade and an easy cadence.
Make it family-friendly: the Via Verde’s steady profile suits younger riders. Pair your outing with snack breaks and a beach stop on the way back to Camping Riberamar.

Helpful support for cyclists

Close to the route: staying at Camping Riberamar puts you near the Via Verde, so you can start pedaling without logistics headaches.
Rest and recharge: after your ride, unwind in the pools, stretch in the gym, or gather at the communal barbecue area.
Event-ready vibe: during the Mediterranean Epic period, the campsite highlights that staying in the bungalows lets cyclists rest close to the route and share the atmosphere with other participants.

Prat de Cabanes–Torreblanca Natural Park: wetlands, dunes, and wildlife

The Prat de Cabanes–Torreblanca Natural Park is a mosaic of Mediterranean wetlands framed by dunes and coastal landscapes. Wetlands tend to host rich birdlife and distinctive vegetation, making them great for slow, observant walks with binoculars in hand.

Your gentle introduction to the Prat

Ease into the landscape: plan a leisurely circuit along established paths and vantage points. Focus on listening and scanning—wetlands reward patience.
Time your visit: mornings and late afternoons often bring calmer air and softer light, ideal for spotting birds and enjoying the scenery.

Birdwatching moments from Camping Riberamar

On-site activity highlight: a bird-ringing session is scheduled for 25 April, 09:00–11:00 at reception, priced at €2, with limited places. This hands-on activity offers a closer look at bird identification and conservation techniques—perfect for curious families and nature lovers. Ask at 24-hour reception to confirm availability.

Family-friendly nature day

Start at camp: fuel up at the restaurant, pack sun protection, and bring simple observation tools (binoculars, a notebook).
Head to the park: make your way from Camping Riberamar and enjoy a relaxed wetland walk, pausing at safe pull-offs to scan for wildlife.
Return to reset: cool off in the pool, let the kids enjoy the playground, and close the day at the communal barbecue or with evening entertainment events that may include live-music nights or seasonal celebrations like Halloween or San Juan.
