madridmanjim, while I don't know for sure, it's my impression that hostels AND hotels in Pamplona are booked solid for about 4-6 months in advance for "The Running of the Bulls". I've seen videos of the running and where to stay during such and it seems that campground you mention is PACKED FULL and not entirely safe.. that is, your stuff might get picked over when you're in the city. Also, it seems that many people simply sleep in the parks on their backs without tent or blankets.
We USED to have a member here who kind of advertised their service and hotel (until I gave them the rules of the message board) more than a year ago. Maybe they'll return now that the time is near once again and will enlighten us more on the situation this year. Their website was
http://www.pamplona.co.uk/ . There, they have photos, videos, history, and other stuff. Also, at the top of their website they write:
"IF YOU ARE JUST LOOKING FOR ACCOMMODATION FOR THE FIESTA THEN DROP ME AN EMAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE MIGHT STILL HAVE A FEW SPACES LEFT"
madridmanjim, are you going???
Saludos, MadridMan
