Campsite Orbitur Valverde ***

June 2018 arrived to find the swimming pool is being reconstructed no bar or restaurant site is like a building site.Also extensive work on the new cabins very noisy with the constant tractor and trailer speeding by. But it was quiet at night.8.00am the work starts, so noisy. The cars travelling to the residents cabins all travel very fast through the site.Bins only emptied when full, toilets and showers cleaned everyday.site just looks messy.When we left the water was turned off to work on the other toilet block so no water.Manager did not even bother to put a notice on the facilities to advise of this or apologise for inconvenience.

Heel slechte camping qua prijsverhouding. Sanitair afgesloten en wat open was was zwaar verouderd en smerig.
Personeel onvriendelijk. En om kwart voor negen in de ochtend al Ruzieende Engelsen omdat er geen brood meer was in de campwinkel.zeker geen aanrader!

Schönen und ruhiger Campingplatz (wir waren mit dem Wohnmobil in der letzten Augustwoche für 3 Nächte dort. Leider, wie alle Campingplätze an der Algarve, kein direkter Strandzugang sondern mit dem Rad ca. 1, 8 km entfernt in Luz. Auch erreichbar mit dem Bus. Schöne Stellplätze, jedoch veraltete Sanitäranlagen. Für 3 Nächte aber akzeptabel. Pool ist einfach, aber toll zum chillen. Man wird mit toller Musik aus den 80etn berieselt. Herrlich. Restaurant haben wir nicht getestet. SSupermarkt. ..Naja. ..Milch Butter und Wasser. Mies! 300 m außerhalb vom Platz in Richtung Luz gibt es ein brasilianischesch Restaurant. So genial. Wir sind immer noch begeistert! Buffet ist... sooo lecker un billig. Nach Lagos fährt stündlich ein Bus. Sehr empfehlenswert ist ein Trip mit einem kleinen Boot durch die Klippen. 12 km weiter gibt es noch einen Wohnmobil Stellplatz. ..Boca do Rio. Unbedingt ein oder zwei Tage dort verbringen. Direkt an einem einsamen Strand. Ein kleiner Fluss endet dort. Ausserdem ist dort eine Art Ausgrabungsstätte einer römischen Hafenanlage.

A nice location to explore the Lagos area. Bus outside the campsite to Lagos and the closest beach. Good pool and wifi is free but very difficult to get on to. Bathrooms were very dirty at the time of our visit. The pitch was great. Good bar and general atmosphere of the place. Would stay again.

This evaluation has been obtained by our inspector from a questionnaire at the camp site.

This was a good site if a little shabby. Tent users should be aware that the ground was very hard and special tent pegs are of benefit here.

There was free wi fi but only in the bar/pool area. The pool itself was very clean and the staff were generally very friendly.

The bar/Restaurant was basic but very reasonably priced. There were several other restaurants within walking distance but we only tried one (an Italian) which was excellent and relatively cheap.

The site is situated about 750m from the urbanisation of Luz which had a beautiful beach. Lagos is about five to ten minutes drive away with larger supermarkets.

So far this trip, this was the easiest site to find from the directions in the ACSI book.

The site itself was very quiet, but neighbourhood dogs (not on the site) were very noisy at night.

Despite ACSI recommendations they do take payment up front.

Lovely site in a great position but Oh dear! the toilets/showers left so much to be desired. As with many Portuguese sites there were no toilet seats, paper or soap to wash your hands with. Great shame but sadly 1970's standard yet such a great swimming pool.
