Standout Services

Home cooking with local produce

The hostel restaurant serves meals prepared in the in-house kitchen using local ingredients, with four meals a day (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner). Eating well during a two-week camp is not a detail: it is part of the programme. Menus are adapted for allergies and intolerances notified at registration.

En-suite bathroom in every room

An unusual feature for group accommodation: every room — sleeping 4 to 12 — has its own private bathroom. This improves privacy and the daily morning routine.

Climbing wall on-site

The camp’s climbing activity takes place on the hostel’s own climbing wall. No travel required: equipment and technical supervision are in the same building where participants sleep.

Medical assistance nearby

Health centre in Espinilla, 3 km from the facility, and a full hospital in Reinosa, 11 km away. The camp has a first-aid kit and a support vehicle available 24 hours, as well as public liability and accident insurance included.

Year-round maintenance

Las Indianas operates as tourist accommodation throughout the year, including for skiers visiting Alto Campoo. This ensures continuous upkeep of the facilities.

The Surrounding Area

The hostel sits in inland Cantabria, surrounded by grazing meadows, oak and beech forests, and rivers with natural pools and waterfalls. The location of Villar de Campoo makes it possible to combine mountains and sea in the same fortnight: within easy reach are the natural pools of Las Cervalizas, the Río Híjar as it flows through the village, the source of the Ebro and Argüeso Castle, all of which are visited during the camp’s mountain hikes. The Alto Campoo ski resort, close to the village, makes Las Indianas a stopover for skiers in winter — a detail worth noting because it explains why the hostel is set up for group accommodation all year round.

And 80 km away, the coast: Somo beach, where the camp travels for two days of surf lessons and beach Olympics.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Accommodation

How are rooms assigned?

On the first day, games are organised so that the children get to know each other, and rooms are then assigned in conversation with them. We try to group campers of similar ages and, where possible, let friends share a room if they have arrived together. Rooms are single-gender: boys and girls sleep separately.

Do all rooms have an en-suite bathroom?

Yes. All 22 rooms have a private en-suite bathroom, with capacities of 4 to 12 places. This is one of the distinctive features of the accommodation.

What kind of food is served?

Home cooking prepared in the hostel’s own restaurant kitchen, using local produce. Allergies and intolerances notified by families at registration are catered for. The kitchen serves both the participants and the activity leader team, who are also accommodated at the hostel during the fortnight.

Is the hostel accessible?

Las Indianas is a restored rural stone house in the centre of the village. For specific queries about accessibility or particular mobility requirements, the best approach is to contact the camp organisation in advance, who will assess each case with the accommodation management.

Can families visit the hostel before enrolling their child?

The hostel operates as tourist accommodation year-round outside camp dates, which means facilities and surroundings can be visited with flexibility. For visits or official accommodation information see the hostel website; for camp-related visits, contact Natuaventura.
