TOURIST CAMPSITES
In this catalogue, a tourist campsite is understood to be a tourist accommodation establishment that, occupying a duly delimited area and equipped with the facilities and services set out in the regulations, is intended to provide temporary accommodation in tents, caravans, motorhomes or any similar, easily transportable item, as well as other stable facilities intended for temporary accommodation that are operated by the owner of the campsite.
Types of campsites
Depending on the facilities, equipment and services offered, tourist campsites can be classified into five categories, from 1 to 5 stars.
Before initiating the procedure...
You can request a prior report from the provincial area of the Galician Tourism Agency (Axencia de Turismo de Galicia) where the establishment is to be located in order to check compliance with the minimum requirements and the necessary infrastructure and services.
In order to carry out this activity, you must apply for authorisation to open and classify as a tourist establishment by submitting the required documentation.
Once the opening and classification decision has been issued (if no express decision has been issued within 3 months, it will be understood that the application has been accepted), the Administration will automatically register the tourist campsite with the Register of Tourist Companies and Activities of the Autonomous Region of Galicia (Rexistro de empresas e actividades turísticas da Comunidade Autónoma de Galicia).
Once this process has been completed, the activity may be carried out, which does not exempt from compliance with other matters related to the regulatory and sectoral reference framework.
Law 7/2011, of 27 October, on tourism in Galicia.
Decree 159/2019, of 21 November, which establishes the regulation of tourist campsites.
