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.
