Check your timetable. Ferries from Portsmouth now arrive at 0800 in the morning

There are a couple of campsites near Bilbao (not sure what time they accept arrivals till). After that very little for a good while. We normally just overnight at services tbh. Never felt uncomfortable.

The municipal site, Fuentes Blancas, in Burgos is about 100 motorway miles away, I believe reception is open until midnight.

Kobetamendi is the area of Bilbao.

The hostel is lower down from the site.

Camping Sopelana is close by ... are you planning to stay a couple of days, or, just overnight and travel on next morning?
Which direction? East? West? South?

I might be able to suggest better if I have an idea of what you intend.

As I said earlier, the ferries from Portsmouth arrive at Bilbao at 0800 in the morning and most people will move straight on from there

But if the questioner really does want a campsite that day then there are some local ones which will accept them mid morning.

Is that still required?

I think the 20.45 quoted time is the return to UK time ... they do quote the two trips an odd way round!
