What’s the advantage of this, when Europe is full of Aires.
Camp sites for extended stays ?

Serious question. Honest.

Agreed, for most but some folks like the full camps from time to time..and why not. For us have joined before and again last year but never used !What’s the advantage of this, when Europe is full of Aires.

Where do I start? The price of sites doesn't bother us. The state of some Aires does. We turned up to one a few years ago to find a "likely" lad defecating in one of the large waste bins. We moved on. Two years ago we went to look at a couple north of Malaga. Both were jammed with people who sit about doing nothing but drinking and smoking so we moved on. Yes, I know they're not all like that and we've stopped in some that are fine for a few nights if there's no convenient campsite. But we like EHU, we walk or cycle every day and so we like a nice hot shower every night. We like a restaurant on site. We like water "on tap". We like some security. We like to be in the mountains where there are fewer aires and where it can be cold and sometimes wet so to come back to a nice warm shower (again) in rural sites that are often deserted in winter and not full of British or other layabouts is what we enjoy. We stay in one place for 2 weeks at most, often less, and then move on.What’s the advantage of this, when Europe is full of Aires.

I’m happy that you enjoy your travels. And how you spend your time and money. I do know that if I spent a similar amount, my travel savings would not last the 10 years I’ve planned.Where do I start?

Many enjoy Aires, for whatever reason, and good luck to them. Many enjoy crowded coastal sites, which is fine if that's what they like - and it means the quiet sites we like, remain quiet - at least in winter.
Last trip - 3 months - we spent €1400 on sites or about €16 per night, about the same total we spent on food & drink. So I suppose instead of staying on aires to get the cost down, we could cut out the food & drink.
