This European Country Has Some of the Most Gorgeous River Beaches on Earth
"A lively campsite that amplifies the outdoor experience with a tiki-style bar and an energetic, social crowd; it’s a fun, communal base for van travelers and anyone looking to extend a riverside day into an upbeat evening outdoors." - Stacey Leasca

Nice, small and beautifully taken care of camping place. Good for tents as well as campers. Quite a steep slope but facilities are very clean and comfortable. I would have liked them to have served some food but they don't.
All in all - a great spot!

Lovely and quiet camping near The City of Tomar. The staff was kind with us.
It has a swimming pool and a bar where you can have breakfast.
All comodities, clean and green spaces.
Amazing price per quality.

Beautiful camping, chill check in, the family that run the camping is amazing and are always ready to help. The Tiki Bar has a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. There is a great pool, the bathrooms are clean and lots of things to do in the area. Tomar is beautiful with a lot of history and great food. Super recommended, cannot wait to come back!

Turned up unexpectedly and the welcome was warm and friendly. Peaceful oasis with lovely views in a rural setting. All the facilities you would ever need including a bar which does food. |You can even order fresh bread for the next day.|Family run site who are so welcoming. Would definitely return

We are leaving Camping Pelinos today after spending two wonderful weeks at this excellent campsite. We arrived with a young puppy and the owners of the site helped us to select the most appropriate pitch. We actually stayed on the largest pitch we have ever experienced, with water and electricity. The facilities are spotless and cleaned regularly. The showers are powerful with an endless supply of hot water. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The Reception is open all day until 9pm which is a rarity. Days were spent relaxing on this tranquil site and we often enjoyed a cold beer at the friendly small bar in the evenings (Happy Hour 5 to 7). We ordered fresh bread in the mornings and it was a treat to buy fresh eggs in the morning that had just been laid and were still warm. We walked through the surrounding countryside and discovered three lovely waterfalls nearby. I even managed a couple of yoga sessions on my mat in the mornings. We couldn’t have asked for a better site to relax and settle a new puppy and we would wholeheartedly recommend Camping Pelinos.

A great campsite if you want a total stress free holiday. The owners friendly, helpful could not be nicer. Small restaurant, pre-order fish which they cook perfectly. Ideal walking on woodland trails, full of wild flowers. Even better if you have dogs. Lots of shade from sun in high summer

Campingsite has new Dutch owners. Nice kind people. The campsite and bath/washing area are dated. Not every spot has electricity. Tent spots are below the bath/washing area. This is noisy and illimates your tent too much when it's dark. The area should be shielded from the camping spots.
The camping is not too big but not to tiny either. Camping is in the corner of two roads; small and one more busier road. Dogs in the neighbourhood bark all night.
