pitches well marked out and gravel. small but you can take up more than one pitch if you pay. not much shade or privacy but as it was not busy when we stayed was not a problem. toilets were clean and showers had hot water. staff were very helpful their electrician even tried to help fix our tap for free. short walk to train station where we got train to tavira for 1.45 euro.

one of our favourite sites anywhere. excellent spotlessly clean facilities and plenty of hot water in showers and washing up. good on site restaurant and on site mini market is excellent. 10 min walk to railway station to everywhere on the Algarve and 20 mins down to the cabanas for bars and restaurants. Beautiful Tavira is a good bike ride across the salt flats or take the train. great winter rates of 2 pitches.

Extremely well organised. Good sized & level pitches. Staff very helpful. Excellent shower families & clean. Lovely area to explore from & the local development is all ‘low-rise’ so you don’t feel hemmed in.

Initially I wasn’t sure about this site, but after a 4 night stay I grew to like it. It’s a bit like an aire in some respects, lots of gravel/concrete and generally small pitches (max 7m) with little shade or privacy. However, it’s got everything you need and it’s well located for the local railway station or level walk into Cabanas de Tavira with a lovely beach beyond the lagoon. It has a selection of shops/bars/restaurants. On site there’s a restaurant and mini-market, even an ATM. Security is good. Sanitation blocks are good and facilities plentiful - great showers. The swimming pool is large and a nice facility complete with sun loungers. Staff speak good English and are very friendly. The 16A electric system is a big improvement on most Portugese sites. The only disappointment was the WiFi, for the most part it was completely useless. If you’re staying at the weekend you might want to avoid pitching too close to the picnic area & sports/playground. It seems to be a focus for large groups who can make a lot of noise. Barking dogs were also a bit of a nuisance at times. The ground is very firm so not easy to pitch your awning - you’ll probably need rock pegs.

Very helpful reception staff. Most of the pitches were gravel with very little privacy between them and not much shade. There were a few long term residents but not horded like some campsites. We were able to choose our own pitch and for 18 euros a night we had a large pitch which could have been 2 smaller ones and as a large motorhome we would then have parked parallel to the road. We needed heavy duty pegs to fix the groundsheet.

Toilets and showers were clean and cleaned regularly. The swimming pool was open but not heated, although it was just about warm enough to swim briskly.
The camp restaurant served a tasty monkfish and rice stew that was freshly cooked and very hot. Along the promenade in Cabanos there were lots of bars and restaurants and a couple of small supermarkets only 1 km from the site.
A very quiet site, with few British people but that could have been down to the uncertainty about Brexit.
