Hi there,
The IBI, "Rubbish collections" are registered to houses - so not sure how this would work with a campsite. One assumes whomever is running it will have his own, business registration, and so paying whatever that is every (whatever period in your area) 6 months here where I live.

The Padron is done at your town hall and it will all depend if they see the campsite as an official residence or not. Clearly, they will know it and its use/license so that if people can legally stay there for long periods, then one assumes all the local registration capabilities follow. You need the Certificado de Empadronamiento for so many things that things like Road Tax, would be impossible for anyone living there who has a car. Also, registering with a Doctor etc.

Also not sure down your way but I have known people go for their NIE (or residency certificate as I believe they are now) and got asked for their Certificado de Empadronamiento.

Good luck,

Xose
