Everything Else
Since 2008, Stoke Travel has been the heartbeat of the San Fermin Festival, hosting the wildest, most legendary campsite in Pamplona. We don’t just offer a place to sleep; we throw Spain’s biggest campsite party to complement the madness in the streets.
San Fermin is a week of absolute chaos, dancing, sangria showers, and one long adrenaline rush. Every morning, you have the chance to outrun massive bulls in the daily Running of the Bulls (Encierro), finishing in the plaza de toros—an optional 8:00 AM date with destiny (and bravery/stupidity). But the real magic happens afterwards, during the 24-hour street fiestas.
Whether you’re here to run for your life or just dance for your soul, our Pamplona travel packages put you within walking distance of the action with hundreds of like-minded legends from around the world.
Festival Dates: July 5th – July 15th, 2027
The Opening Ceremony (Chupinazo): July 6th.
Pro tip: Get here on the 5th. You do not want to miss the night before.
Daily Bull Runs: Every morning from July 7th – July 14th.
Closing Party: Night of July 14th (Pobre de Mí).
We’ve sliced up the festival to fit your schedule and your stamina. From the explosive opening to the emotional closing, here’s how you can join the Stoke fam.
The Vibe: Pure, unadulterated madness. This is the bucket-list event.
The Lowdown: You’ll be there for the Chupinazo on July 6th—when a rocket is fired, and Pamplona instantly turns into a sea of red and white sangria-soaked chaos.
Includes: Early arrival privileges and the wildest opening night parties at our campsite.
The Vibe: Short, sharp, and shocking.
The Lowdown: Perfect for those escaping the 9-to-5 or adding a spice of danger to their Europe trip. Get your fix of bulls, booze, and brotherhood without needing a week to recover.
Includes: 3 night stay over the weekend (July 9-12) with full campsite access.
The Vibe: The emotional send-off.
The Lowdown: Catch the final bull run and the Pobre de Mí (Poor Me) ceremony on July 14th. It’s a candlelit spectacle where the whole city sings a mournful song to say adios to the fiesta.
Includes: The last run, the closing ceremony, and one final massive campsite blowout.
The Vibe: Total freedom. You’re the boss.
The Lowdown: Hate strict itineraries? This package is for the control freaks and the free spirits. It’s the bare-bones entry to the festival. You get your spot to sleep and full access to the campsite facilities (pool, parties, showers).
The Add-Ons: Want the legendary unlimited open bar? Need an outfit? You decide. Unlike our all-inclusive packages, you only pay for the extras you actually want. Build the fiesta that fits your budget.
⚠️A Note for the Bargain Hunters: While the DIY package is easy on the wallet upfront, remember that you’ll be paying “à la carte” for the essentials. By the time you add on your open bar, your festival outfit, and daily shuttle buses, you’ll have spent way more than if you’d just booked one of the inclusive packages.
Stoke Travel is San Fermin’s nicer (and naughtier) camping option. We handle the boring logistics so you can focus on the fiesta.
⛺ Where You Crash: Pre-erected twin-share tents with camping mats and sleeping bags included.
(Want to be fancy? Upgrade to Air-conditioned Dorms or bring your own campervan).
🍳🍾 Hangover Cures: Tasty hot and cold breakfast with bottomless mimosas every morning to get you back in the game.
🍻 The Legendary Open Bar: Unlimited beer and sangria between 10am and Midnight (Add-on: €15/day). Yes, unlimited.
💃🏻 The Vibes: Music all day, DJs, live bands, and pool parties right at the campsite.
⚡ Power Up: 24-hour power stations to charge your phone (so you can prove you survived).
🏃🐂 Expert Guidance: Guides to the Chupinazo (opening), the daily encierros (bull runs), and all the festivities.
Don’t let the party stop in Pamplona. Combine your bull run with our other iconic Spanish activities and festivals:
San Sebastian Surf Camp: Only an hour away. Swap the bulls for boards. Recover with surf, yoga, and chill vibes in the lush hills of the Basque Country.
Barcelona City Break: The ultimate city playground. Join us for boat parties, cooking classes, and nights out in the Gothic Quarter.
San Vino (The Wine Fight): Late June in Haro. It’s a literal battle with thousands of litres of red wine. It happens right before San Fermin—the perfect warm-up.
La Tomatina: The world’s biggest food fight in Bunol (Valencia) this August. If you survived the bulls, you can survive the tomatoes.

Think of this not just as a trip, but as a city-wide, sangria-soaked street party. We’re talking live music, DJs in the plazas, fireworks, and plenty of Spanish good times.
Stoke Travel’s Pamplona packages are designed to keep the fiesta going 24/7. We throw massive campsite parties to complement the madness in town. Your stay includes:
The bull run that both Pamplona and San Fermin are infamous for isn’t for everybody—including us. We won’t stop you if you want to run, watch from a balcony, or ignore it entirely.
What really excites Stoke Travel is the other 23 hours and 55 minutes of the day. When the bulls aren’t running, the city is raging. From the exploding Chupinazo on July 6th, the street parties, clubs, and bars never stop. There are live bands in every square and fireworks lighting up the night. You’ll be celebrating with absolute legends from across Spain and around the world. It really is one of the greatest parties on earth.
To truly appreciate the absolute madness of San Fermin, you have to understand the tradition behind the party. While the world knows it as the Running of the Bulls, locals know it as a centuries-old religious festival (and bender) honoring Saint Fermin, the patron saint of Navarre.
The traditional uniform is non-negotiable. If you don’t want to stick out like a clueless tourist, you need to suit up.
The run started back in the 14th century as a practical way to transport bulls from the corrals to the bullring. Over time, butchers and young daredevils started jumping in front of the beasts to prove they had cojones. Today, it has evolved into the world’s most famous adrenaline rush.
Participating in the Running of the Bulls is free, but it’s not a joke. The police and locals take it very seriously. If you plan to run, follow these rules to avoid a fine—or a horn.
Believe it or not, there’s more to this week than running for your life from cattle. We’ve curated a lineup of San Fermin activities that balances cultural immersion with absolute debauchery.
Poolside Recovery: It’s hot in Pamplona. Cool off in our onsite swimming pool—the perfect place to wash away the dust, sweat, and sangria stains from the night before.
Hangover Yoga: Join our “recovery” yoga sessions. It’s less about finding your inner chakra and more about stretching out your hamstrings so you can outrun a bull (or just dance until 4 AM again).
The Drinking Olympics: Think you’re good at beer pong? Prove it. We host massive tournaments, stack cup championships, and drinking games that transcend language barriers.
Campsite Sports: For those with energy to burn (who are you?), join in on pickup games of volleyball, football, or rugby on the campsite grounds.
Parades & Giants: Witness the traditional “Giants and Big Heads” parade—a trippy Navarrese tradition you have to see to believe.
Local Gastronomy: We’ll point you toward the best pintxos (tapas) bars and local wine spots in Navarre to fuel up before the fiesta.
The Fiesta: It’s the world’s biggest street party. We guide you to the best squares, the wildest crowds, and the hidden spots only the locals (and Stoke veterans) know about.
Beyond the bulls and the booze, San Fermin is a showcase of authentic Spanish activities. Shake off the hangover to catch the Parade of Giants and Big Heads (Gigantes y Cabezudos) dancing through the streets every morning, watch the world-class international fireworks contests at the Citadel, and join the emotional singing of the Pobre de Mí by candlelight to close out the best week of your life.
Calling all van-lifers! We know that navigating Pamplona during San Fermin is a nightmare, and finding safe street parking for your rig is basically impossible. Skip the stress and bring your home-on-wheels to the Stoke Travel Campsite.
We offer the best Running of the Bulls campervan setup in the region: a secure, guarded spot for your van, access to our swimming pool and hot showers, and a massive party with hundreds of other international travelers.
The Deal: You pay the standard camping rate per person to join the party, and we let you park your van for free. It’s the ultimate Spain van life hack—park up safely, catch our shuttle to the bull run, and come back to sleep in your own bed (or ours, we won’t judge).
Select “BYO Van” at checkout to secure your spot!
Conveniently, the North of Spain is host to a bunch of festivities around the same time, just a stones throw from each other. La Batalla del Vino – or San Vino Wine Fight – kicks off our season of Spanish festivals in the infamous wine region of La Rioja, just a week before the festivities of San Fermin kick off in Pamplona. Best way to pad out that time in between? Hit the coast of the Basque Country with a stay at our San Sebastian Surf House.
Please make sure you’ve already selected your pick-up time for your arrival day, if you have not, check the times below and email info@stoketravel.com. Bookings close 24 hours before departure.

The Stoke Travel Campsite is located just 30 minutes outside of Pamplona city center. We chose this spot for a reason: it’s the only campsite with natural shade, grassy riverside pitches, and a swimming pool.
While staying in the city center during San Fermin means sleepless nights, expensive hotels, and zero personal space, our location offers a sanctuary. You get the madness of the fiesta just a bus ride away, but you can actually sleep, recover, and cool off in the pool when you need to.
Whether you’re balling out on direct flights or saving your euros for sangria by taking the bus, here is how to get to San Fermin.
Once you touch down in Spain, the public transport network is solid (though often crowded during the festival).
Once you hit the ground in Pamplona, you don’t need to worry about navigating foreign maps or expensive taxis.

Easy booking process, we received information before arrival. The shuttles were sparse and taxis sometimes hard to get but everything worked out! One thing is that it got pretty cold at night. The atmosphere was amazing! I really loved the people. It was mental!
The booking process was easy, better directions to the site would have been helpful, like where the bus station was located. Also that the bar at the camp site was cash only. But the buses were great! Great energy, fun people, staff was awesome. What I really loved about my stay was the people, the food, good vibes, and the undy run was a blast. You can improve it by having more dance parties. It was a killer!!
I had a lot of fun, some things can improve, for example I wish I had known the Stoke Bar closed so early at night.Easy to meet people! The Staff was fun & social! In overall I had a great time, I’d do it again!
There was a miscommunication with the dates on the website and the confirmation email, but after reaching out it was quickly resolved! Most fun I’ve had in my entire life, I loved the people, the atmosphere and the experience as a whole.
The booking process was super easy & plenty of relevant information. Maybe better directions for catching the bus. We ended up using taxi though. The guy who checked me in kept losing his pen so maybe a couple extra pens for him. All jokes aside I thought it was an efficient process. Plus the girls where super cute so I wouldn’t have noticed delays. Everyone was outgoing & an overall great time. What I really love about my stay is all the people I met from around the globe. What you can improve are The buses & more stoke gear in stock for popular sizes. My stay in a few words: No bullshit, every sangria stain was worth it!
The food seriously saved my life more then once. Definitely would go Stoke again. Maybe next time just pump up the beds a little bit more 😉
Booking it was easy, online payment is good. The atmosphere was epic! I really loved the the crew and people met. Maybe you can get us some more food. Wasn’t enough. It was good though! The trip was SOLID.
Awesome. Never forget it, something to tell the grandkids ?? Although there was To much snoring on the campsite, the rest of the trip existed of great people and fantastic tour!
Ticked this off the bucket list last year with Stoke and now I’m going back again (surely that says enough). Stoke are an absolute blast, always staff around to help you out, answer questions or pass you another beer. The camp ground rocks, and the whole festival is just so much fun!! BE THERE FOR THE OPENING CEREMONY OMG SO MUCH FUN!!
One word. Awesome!!!!
The camp was amazing and extremely well organised. The staff were fantastic, really funny and loved partying with us.
I was absolutely scared sh*tless, but man, it was worth the adrenaline rush.
Stoke Travel you did it again, what an intense and insanely fun weekend. Thanks!
