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.

A beautiful countryside campsite. Exceptionally clean showers and loos with thoughtful and well maintained grounds. There are wonderful walks right from your pitch, with swimming and fishing in the river that is a 5min walk away. During Lockdown we came for a couple of weeks and ended up staying for 8 months!
We now return every year for Christmas & New Year.

Het is een geweldige camping mede omdat de campingeigenaren super vriendelijk en behulpzaam zijn, niets is er te veel. Aankomst voelt als thuiskomst. Je hebt mooie plaatsen en niet te dicht op elkaar. In de omgeving kun je heerlijk rustig wandelen en mountainbiken. De visliefhebber kan zelfs op de camping vissen.

Hartelijk dank voor uw feedback.
Inmiddels hebben wij onze, ruim 40, tochten op Komoot staan. En die breiden wij uit op gebied van wandelen, fietsen of met de auto. Tot ziens in 2023!

Miranda en Menno (een nederlands echtpaar) hebben mij perfect opgevangen. Ze zijn beiden zorgverlenend en erg behulpzaam. De camping heeft veel aandacht voor het milieu. Er zijn volop wandelroutes en fietsroutes door de schitterende omgeving.
Op de camping is veel aandacht voor het sociale aspect. Er werd voor gezorgd dat iedereen in de gelegenheid werd gesteld om een boosterprik te halen. Echt een aanrader om de camping te bezoeken.

Mooie kleine camping in een rustig gebied met top eigenaren die er alles aan doen om de gasten te helpen.
En zeer schoon en verwarmt sanitair wat je niet vaak tegen komt in portugal

This is a very special campsite, like no other we have stayed at, peaceful and completely in nature with walks and cycle routes straight from the campsite, the owners are fabulous and nothing is too much trouble is you need help or local recommendations. We have returned twice and will,come back again later this year we hope
