Anyone seen in the news about the fire at the campsite in Bolnuevo, Mazarron in the early hours of Monday? A whole row of caravans destroyed, luckily no one hurt. I saw it in the Murcia Today newsreel. Thing is it's the fourth caravan site fire the region has had in the last year.  I've stayed several times on that site as it's a great location and straight out onto the beach. But it's the tightest packed place I've stayed at. You wonder why we maintain spacing here!

Have used this site a lot but after experiencing a minor BBQ fire a couple of years back, and seeing how they were packing them in I changed sites, but it is difficult to find a Spanish site that does have suitable seperation in place. 

were they caravans or MH's,?, I did visit the site in December 22 and it was rammed with predominantly MH's and one of the big problems was, you had a very large MH on pitch together with a very large trailor, so not only was the seperation not in place between pitches, you also had pitches that were rammed with a MH plus a very large trailor, car, and in some cases a couple of motor cycles, and people were sat outside around an open pit fire, disaster waiting to happen, there was also a lack of fire extinguishers that were working.

You can see a set of steps as normally used with caravans, Rufs, so I expect the headline is right.

I know Peurto Mazarron and if I were to return I wouldn't  use anywhere but Los Madiles, no cramped pitches there when I last visited.
