Best Campground in portugal

D	D. Eliot on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the most expensive camping we tried in Portugal and clearly not one of the best. Disappointed by the cold welcome from the lady but above all sanitary facilities weren really not clean and most of the drinkable water dispensers were ouf it service. We did not see the "eco" part of this camp.
L	Liam O'Mahony on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Site itself and its facilities deserves 4* but the atmosphere and pleasantness of the campers makes this a very special place: hence the extra* - my favourite of all the campsites in all I've ever visited so far!
T	Thomas Mischkowsky on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It could be a really nice place. And normally I don't rank badly. But i had to wait for one hour to check in and again one hour to check out the next day. And there were not a lot of people waiting. I can't imagine how it would be in the main seasin. We were missing our surf course because of it. The management obviously doesn't want to afford a second person at the reception. Too bad!
A	Anna Hale on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So many ridiculous rules at this campsite. The gate doesn’t open until 8am so you can’t leave the site before then. We weren’t told but we were expected to pay £50 deposit on arrival, we didn’t have cash on us so had to use their ATM which charges £4. It doesn’t state anywhere but you can’t checkout before 9am (so don’t stay here if you have a fight to catch). We asked the lady at reception at 8:50 if we could check out and she was incredibly rude and said not until 9am and locked the door in our face - giving us a sarcastic comment like ‘I just wanted to get to work a bit early and prepare myself’. All we did was ask?!
R	Réka Kosik on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very atmospheric camp with great facilities and beautiful beaches nearby. We spent 3 days in a tipi, everything was really clean and neat. We were really amazed by the quality of food served in the restaurant, and the live music sessions in the evenings definitely added an extra charm to our overall experience.
L	Lara La on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a really nice Camp, one of a few in this area where you really Are in nature! And Not only a parking Spot like many other camping sides in this area! I would definetly reconmend to stay here. Shower and Toilets Are very clean too!
M	Manon Métivier on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The camping concept is nice but not very adapted for people with just a tent. The areas are not well defined, we had a hard time finding a spot. People are using big spaces for their van, table and chairs... The sanitaries are clean, with nice hot showers. The restaurant inside the camping is very good and nice. It is close to beautiful places such as Sagres!
z	zac williams on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice site, quite busy for the off season. Lots of friendly people. €17 per night or €11 if you stay for three (December 5th 2021). Shower has no temperature control and runs lukewarm not hot as do the taps, bit of a shame if you want a hot shower/ to have a shave/ to wash up. Expensive cafe/restaurant. Payment for dogs required (€2-3) but no specific facilities provided. Beach ten minute walk away down a hill. Most spots very shaded. Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible bathrooms and showers (one block closed, staff unaware why) but very hilly site. Uneven rocky ground, free wheel attachment necessary. Toilets are a good height, no hand rails, sink accessible, good sized bathroom but not private. As a manual wheelchair user I highly recommend a power assistance/attachment if possible as very steep hills. Some cobbled surfaces. If the bottom toilet block was open and spaces available it would be possible to avoid most hills and stay at the lower level of the site. Overall the site is nice, and full of friendly people, however for the money you pay it would be nice to have things to a slightly higher standard.
