Camping Serro da Bica

from 54 reviews Write review

Camping Serro da Bica provides a good holiday location for hikers, bird-watchers and nature lovers in Alentejo, Portugal. The campsite is close to the city of Ourique (11 km), known for its local delicacy ‘Black Pork’. It is a campsite that embraces simplicity, with various pitches among the hills. Trees provide the necessary shade but, to really cool off, go to the nearby Rio Mira river.

Back to the basics

At this campsite, you really go ‘back to the basics’ with your own camping equipment. The pitches are distributed over a hilly area, giving you a choice between a spot in the sun or under the shade of a tree. The pitches are simple but neat and have the necessary connections.

Although the campsite focuses on a rustic experience, it does not lack the most essential amenities. The sanitary facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the pathways are paved.

Connection with nature

On the other side of the hill is the Rio Mira, a river that winds through the green landscape and flows into the Santa Clara reservoir some 20 kilometres further. Cast your line out into this river or lay your towel on its banks or go for a swim.

Alentejo is known for its beautiful natural environment: from glowing hills to thick wooded areas and from vast plains to swamps. It is a true paradise for many species of birds. Around the campsite you will spot bee-eaters, blue magpies, long-legged buzzards, storks, flamingos and vultures.

Serro da Bica ligt in een prachtig natuurgebied.
De rust en de ruimte op de camping is super.
Het borreluurtje is voor ons een belangrijk onderdeel om deze camping te bezoeken.
Overdag ben je heerlijk op jezelf en aan het einde van de dag kan je andere gasten ontmoeten die daar ook voor openstaan. Zo begeef je je altijd in een gezellige sfeer.
Wandelen, fietsen en motorrijden in de omgeving…..top!
Betrokkenheid van de campingeigenaren geeft extra elan aan Serro da Bica.

Camping midden in de natuur, dag en nacht rustig. Grote plekken, keurige camperplekken. Heel vriendelijke, gastvrije eigenaren die dag en nacht klaarstaan voor hun gasten. Mooi, zeer schoon sanitair met verwarmde doucheruimte. Iedere werkdag rond 5 uur een gezellige “happy hour”. Geen verplichting, wel leuk om je medekampeerders een beetje te leren kennen. Omgeving nodigt uit om uren te wandelen of fietsen in een prachtige omgeving. We wilden een weekje blijven, het werd een maand.

Hartelijk dank voor uw feedback. Wij vinden het jammer dat de omgeving u niet aanspreekt. Wellicht kunnen wij u bij een volgende keer iets over de omgeving vertellen want de Alentejo heeft wel zeker een aantal pareltjes. Graag tot een volgende keer.

Dit was ons 2e bezoek aan deze camping. 1e maal in oktober 2018. Hier voelen wij ons thuis. Mooie wandelingen gemaakt. Prachtig motorrijden. De A2 naar Faro is verslavend, wat een bochten. Nog genoeg te zien en te doen voor een volgende keer. Wij vinden het jammer dat we door het virus begin mei niet op de camping kunnen staan.

Reaction from the campsite September 8, 2020

Dag Jan en Ans. Hartelijk dank voor de review. Het zijn andere tijden, maar we hopen uiteraard jullie weer te ontvangen. Graag tot spoedig.
