This park would be ok except for the following
1 the shower blocks are clean but in 7 days I only had one hot shower, the rest were tepid to say the least and women's tolilets are smelly
2 a bit of water to the gardens to keep the dust down on the windy days
3 the staff can be a little bit abrupt some times
4 check your maps to make sure you come in the right way when you have a large motor home as surrounding roads are narrow.
Apart from number 1 staying here is ok for large vans, just bring extra power leads, not too many power points around.

Le point fort: très belle plage accessible du camping! Nous avons séjourné en mobil-home: propre, situation ombragée, de façon général, le camping est très bien entretenu et le personnel agréable, les possibilités de restauration sur place sont également très appréciables. La piscine est aussi un point fort. nous étions bien situés pour la visite du nord du Portugal car à proximité des autoroutes pour Porto, Braga, Guimaraes, Povoa etc... Un avis donc positif concernant notre séjour à rio alto.

Camping direct aan het strand, door een tunneltje te bereiken. Geen mooie camping maar goed te gebruiken om de omgeving te bekijken. Is niet ver van Barcelos,er leuk om daar naar de markt te gaan.

Ein sauberer und ruhiger Platz. Mir hat ganz besonders der schöne Wäscheplatz gefallen. Der Strand ist sauber und fast leer. Das Personal sehr freundlich.
