Area Serviço Autocaravana Corroios

Quiet and felt much safer during the night than we thought.

Nice place transport links excellent could do with management to stop no campers parking or a pay gate ?

Very nice area, with some shade and bordering the city park

Lovely place to stop but you can only stay a max 72 hours now unless you apply at the local parish council

This is a sandy/dirt carpark with 30 dedicated motorhome/caravan parking spaces, according to the sign at the entrance and the rest for cars, situated between residential apartments and a park. There are about 10 caravans permanently parked in some spaces. When we arrived there were 2 cars and a bus taking up 3 of the parking spaces aswell. The cars were gone in the evening. The spaces facing the park are large and 2 small motorhomes could easily fit in one space. The ones at the fence are a little smaller. The carpark is closed during the month of August for the local festival. We were here last year and the parking spaces facing the park was left free for motorhomes. Not this year. Has the law changed or are they not been enforced? Whatever the reason it doesn't look good as there are about 10 permanently parked caravans. Pros: Free parking. Free services excluding electricity. Picnic benches. Outdoor gym, some broken. Park directly behind for walking or jogging. Local supermarket, cafes and bars. Skateboard park and playground. Some shade. Excellent public transport to Lisbon. Cons: Dog barking day and night. Some road noise. Kids using skateboard park late at night. Permanently parked caravans taking up spaces. There are full free services excluding electricity. In the fresh water cabinet there is a main 3/4 turn water valve for all the taps and it may be switched off as we found out. The grey waste is a small grate drain with NO real direction so the water pools at the side of the drain. The black WC drain is 500mm off the ground under a large steel cover. The drain is good and deep with very little splashback. There is a tap in the drain with a 3/4 turn handle to control the pressure for cleaning the cassette. There is also a push button tap to the side of the drain. The fresh water tap is in a steel cabinet. It's a medium screw-on connection with a 3/4 turn handle with excellent pressure. There are bins outside the carpark. The train and metro station is about 10 minute walk away. Last year we got the train and metro into Lisbon which cost €7.70 each return including buying the ticket for €0.50. This time we took the tram and ferry which cost €5.30 each return including buying 2 cards as the woman in the tram office gave us a ticket that could not be used on the ferry. **Ask for a ticket that works on all transport systems. The tram/ferry is a better and nicer journey. Lidl is about 10 minutes walk away. There are many cafe bars around the residential areas. We had a nice set lunch in Cantinho da Mila for €8 each and some pizzas in Pizza na Lenha. Both are about 7 minutes walk away through the residential blocks. We had 3 quiet nights with other motorhomes eventhough the dog was barking most of the night and there were kids in the skatepark late at night. Bugs/Mosquitoes. (They love us..) I got some mosquitoe bites while running in the park and using the outdoor gym on two evenings. I also got bitten while walking to the pizza restaurant. My wife or daughter did not get any bites. They were muggy evenings in mid October. We had one in the motorhome but it was quickly dispatched.

Worse for wear, but functional. Many campervans parked nearby in October

Great place to stay. They've recently changed the staying rules. No cars only caravans and motorhomes. Locally owned motorhomes can stay long periods after a visit to the local town council. Out of towners can stay a maximum of 72 hours. No staying between mid July to September due to local festival Fresh water available. Grey and black water drop off. Grocery store is local.

Very busy at weekends not a bad place to stay few shops and trane nearby
