Parque de Campismo Orbitur Guincho

Many reviews tell that it is a brilliant camping. To be very honest with you. It is garbage and extremely old. Many wooden cabins, "dog shelters" are lack of paint, are rotting and are placed in a way, with a huge gate around it, as if it is a concentration camp. Really shocking. You have to ride a car for about 3 km to reach the dangerous shore. Or you can have a two km. long, nice, walk through the protected dunes. Toilets and showers are clean but also very, very old. NOTHING is invested, for a long time, to give the guests more quality for their money . The only nice thing in the camp are the trees. And the view at the ocean is very minimal!! This is truth what I wrote. Do not go and look for your self.

We booked a 3 night stay with our camper van. Given we had just left a 6 star site in Porto, I was apprehensive given the reviews but pleasantly surprised. To be clear this isn’t a 4 star campsite but it also isn’t as bad as some of the reviews suggest. Yes the place could do with some renovation, the old unused sink block is unsightly and would be better removed and the pitch delineation and areas could do with a refresh. There are 2 shower and toilet blocks. One is older but still serviceable, the more recent block is pretty good. Showers and toilets are my least liked aspect of van touring but these were clean with plenty of hot water. Sure the odd toilet door bolt is a bit flimsy but by and large more than fit for purpose. The WiFi really only works when you are in reception so free WiFi is a bit of an exaggeration but they do tell you this when you book in. On that point reception were all super helpful though we could have been told about the Lisbon train strike in advance! Buses to Cascais run to their own schedule rather than what’s on paper and it takes c30 mins. There is a lovely nature walk through the dunes down to the beach with some restaurants next to the ocean. Didn’t try the pool as it wasn’t hot enough but the area and the pool itself was clean and tidy. The shop has some bits and bobs, fresh bread in the morning and Pastel de nata. For comparison we paid £33 per night incl electric vs £51 all inclusive, in Porto (for a fantastic all inclusive site) and £19 in Sintra for something far worse than this with hand-held showers! So not out of kilter for somewhere with reasonable access to Cascais, Lisbon and Sintra.

Really nice place to spend the nights if you visit Cascais, Estoril etc. Beautifully shaded by trees, but with big caravans and cars, you better know how to drive😅 Quite narrow and difficult to get some of the places. Maybe the smaller cars should be asked to park to smaller places more. Now we had small vans taking the big places and filling the rest of the space with deck chairs etc. Please think about others as you park.

One of the only positives about this place is the easy accessibility to Cascais with the bus being at the entrance and an approximate €6 uber ride. |Accepting that the area had just had some of the worst storms in decades it was still a very dirty uncared for place, with the most expensive site fees we have had in 3 months touring. |Toilets almost black in the bottom, no hot water to hand wash sinks and only a few dish wash sinks had hot water |The shop stock was appalling and the cafe soulless with poor choices. Staff grumpy and felt awkward ordering so didn’t revisit. |The roadways were very badly broken up with tree roots making cycling difficult|Pitches were a free for all, you entered, paid then had to find your own place. Very difficult to see where pitches were because there were no markings. All pitches and trees need urgent maintenance|Sat out on our pitch one day and a member of staff walked straight through it without even acknowledging we were there |There is no direct access to the beach, you leave the site and go 800m down the road |Would not recommend unless you need to be near Cascais.

Liked: It is just an all round nice site, good facilities, pitch sizes vary but generally OK. Cascais is lovely and easy to reach Sintra and Lisbon Disliked: As per usual with Orbitur just 6A electric

One of my worst nights so far. If you love 24/7 dogbarking and loud motorcycle noises this place is for you! The noise never stops those dogs are never stopping. Its impressive!

Liked: Brilliant site for having young children. Spotless swimming pool area and kids park next to the bar made for a great visit for us all! Brilliant facilities, very spacious and clean.

Lovely friendly staff! Expensive for what you get. Just an extraordinary price for an average stay. 2 people, 1 tent, no car, no electricity €24.50. We paid €8 at another campsite for the same with a car.
