Camping
This basic campsite has the same management as Salema Eco Camp but is still in transition to their ‘eco theme'. Most people love Alvor for the outstanding rocky beaches and the long boardwalks. Come here for your ‘stereotype' Instagram image from the Algarve coast!
Camping
This is a well-maintained campsite that gives a welcoming feel as soon as you arrive, with friendly staff ready to help with anything you need. All the facilities for a lovely holiday are here and everything is extremely well maintained and cleaned. There are plenty of trees on this campsite to provide shade in the hotter times of the year and a swimming pool too!
Camping
Located in the Natural Park of the Alentejo Coast, the Parque de Campismo São Miguel is approximately 4 km from the beautiful beaches of Odeceixe and Carvalhal. This campsite is thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, which allows guests to be in close communion with nature, allowing them to enjoy the natural surroundings that the Costa Vicentina and Southwest Alentejo have to offer.
Camping
Un camping muy chulo. Con un restaurante increíble, tiene una decoración muy chula y su comida os dejará con la boca abierta. El piso del camping es tierra y bajo la sombra de pinos. Muy cerca de la costa. Os lo recomendamos para visitar la zona. Nosotros pasamos una noche para visitar el cabo de San Vicente y aprovechamos para vaciar y llenado de agua.
Camping

Motorhome areas
This camper park is a family business with lovely details and personal touches. You can find here a relaxed chill zone with hammocks and chairs, a trampoline, a tree house for kids, and an open area for walking with your dogs. Our favorite part was an outside summer shower (only cold water) built inside of the tree. The site is situated uphill, a 30-minute walk from the beach and restaurants. Down there, don't forget to take a walk around the cliffs, there are several beaches and breathtaking romantic views typical for the Algarve region.
Motorhome areas
Discover the charm of Silves at Algarve Motorhome Park Silves. This beloved campsite offers a friendly atmosphere, clean facilities, and spacious pitches. With easy access to the town's excellent restaurants and stunning views from the castle, it's the perfect base to explore one of Portugal's oldest cities.
Motorhome areas
Praia da Falésia stretches over 6 km of pristine golden sand between Vilamoura (European Golf Capital) and Albufeira (Tourist Capital of the Algarve). It is considered to be the most beautiful beach in Portugal, with its high cliffs with strong tones, sometimes coppery, sometimes golden, which create a play of colors contrasting with the green areas of umbrella pines which dominate them. The village “Aldeia das Açoteias”, in Olhos de Água, which overlooks it, offers a quiet environment, ideal for couples or families, while offering a wide range of services, shops and restaurants.

Choose a campsite for a longer stay with shared facilities. A motorhome area can suit a short stop in a self-contained vehicle, but showers and toilets are not guaranteed. For a nature stop, check permission, access and your water and waste capacity before you arrive. Compare current site information and recent reviews; a map listing alone does not confirm availability or permission.
Portugal restricts motorhome overnight stays in protected areas, Natura 2000 sites and coastal management zones unless expressly authorised. Elsewhere, the 48-hour rule in one municipality applies only where municipal rules do not provide otherwise. Check the exact location and current signs before staying.
Before a summer trip, check shade, water availability and local fire restrictions. For winter stays, confirm that the site remains open and that the pitch drains well. Plan service stops into your route so that water and waste disposal do not depend on a last-minute search.
Rules and travel information
Booking depends on the operator. Check each place’s current opening dates, arrival times and booking conditions. These are selected places to explore, not a live list of available pitches. Contact the operator before travelling if you need a confirmed place.
Facilities vary by place and may cost extra or close seasonally. Check the place details and the operator’s information for water, electricity, toilets and waste disposal. Carry enough supplies to reach an alternative if a service is unavailable.
Campervan overnight parking in Portugal is possible, but coastal rules, protected areas, local signs, and the 48-hour framework make planning essential.
