This conveniently located site near the western coast of Portugal, is an ideal location for families and winter sun seekers. The city of Porto which is only 18km away is steeped in history, with lots of ancient houses, narrow cobbled streets and baroque buildings to view. It’s also renowned for its port cellars, with many port tasting tours available for visitors to sample local vintages. There is a bus service from the campsite entrance which reaches Porto in around 75 minutes.
The pitches are shaded by trees, of which some are on a slope and there are various facilities including a restaurant which serves local Portuguese cuisine that is also popular with locals. There are a number of pitches on site used as seasonal or even permanent set up for local residents, and these may not be as well maintained as standard pitches. The site is also a short walk from the golden sands of Praia Azul, which is popular with both families and surfers.

Should have paid more attention to the site description. "Difficult access for outfits over 6.5" metres. Our caravan is just over 7 metres. Almost impossible to navigate when trying to find a vacant pitch. Steep descents and hills on dirt tracks. Had to unhitch and proceed on motor mover twice... Show more

We are a family of 4 and stayed here for three nights. Our children enjoyed the pool; the coastline (5 min walk away) is attractive but there were not many people in the sea possibly as the water was cold and it was windy. Local village lively in the evening... Show more
