👍👍 I'd say it's one of the best campings around there, if you take in mind the price. Almost all of them are really really expensive, and this one let's you take the car next to the tent, as you can see in the photo, which is something that in the rest of the campings is forbidden. You are also two mi... People often mention Porto, camping, night, beach, clean, small, water, showers,

    I'd say it's one of the best campings around there, if you take in mind the price. Almost all of them are really really expensive, and this one let's you take the car next to the tent, as you can see in the photo, which is something that in the rest of the campings is forbidden. You are also two minutes away from a bus stop that takes you to the center of Oporto, which comes really handy for not taking the car. Everything in the camping is a bit outdated, but at least is somehow clean. You can see that they take a bit of time making sure everything works. In the restrooms it's no different. Everything its old, but at least is clean. Well, everything but the ceilings, which are full of spiders. This is something that remains in the whole camping, it's full of spiders, bugs and everything that you can imagine, but those are the perks of staying "outside". The stuff that works in there is nice, and if you ask them for directions to go to Oporto or visit something, they'll answer you fine.

    This small place would be OK but the unfriendly administration is incoherent and looking for fast money. Warm water is missing (except showers), showers are cleaned during morning rushhour, everything is dusty, parking/camping only one direction "to keep privacy" ... just not yours!, you ID are copied and kept (!!!). I do NOT recommend it. Do not be fooled by the fancy entrance. Even its proximity to Porto or the beach can't make up these problems and the noise&music at night. (Campers and surroundings)

    Very poor condictions. Just look at the barbecu machine, and it is next to toilet. I went to the boss and ask him to find for us something what is working and has no holes on the bottom and he offer us that small barbecue. I wanted to put ot on the grass, behind the wall but he didnt agree. Price is 12,50 per tent. To much. They want just earn money and completly dont care about customers. And In the reception they keep 2 parrots in the ridiculously small cage. Nonsence.

    What a place.. and an overpriced place. 30 bucks for two people and a camper. Also, you can only pay cash there and the atm at their reception was out of service. Very convenient… The whole place is very small, you’re camping 1-2 meters close to other tents and cars. Private space? Forget about that there. The toilets are old and not clean. If there would have been other better alternatives, would have definitely stayed away from there. Two stars only for the location - it’s literally next to the beach and Porto is quite ok accessible with Uber. Otherwise - choose wisely.

    We stayed there for 1 night with a camping car. Terrible sanitaries, water is constantly running in the toilets and showers. Stuff is not very friendly borderline rude. Not very clean overall and very expensive (34,50€ for Car+2P+Electricity per night) for those conditions. We escaped after one night.

    Only stay here if you’re desperate. As mentioned in other reviews there is no hot water or soap in the wash area, no toilet paper in the loos, although there is hot water in the showers. The shower block could do with demolition. They really need to redevelop. You can see the waste water channel via a grid underfoot by the basins and there are electrical wires balanced overhead. It’s as though the management might be keeping their fingers crossed that they’ll get away with it without having to pay out for improvements. Bad smells wafting from time to time from somewhere. No recycling facilities. Plus side, good cafe attached to main building where you can buy bread and have something to eat. Clean and modern. Staff helpful at Reception.

    Very basic, outdated, sad, stinking of cats urine without shadow, neither any partitions. On top of that with ridiculous parking rules. We were strictly supervised how to park our car almost with a measuring tape lol ... with the camping being empty. Bathrooms were neglected with taps leaking all night. The only positive is a cafe right next to the camping and the bus to Porto.

    We spend only one night here, to visit Porto which was to crowdy for us during our stay (beginning of August). There is a great bike path to Porto, and it is very easy to reach the centre of the city by bike. Camping site has all the facilities, which could be maintained a bit better. There is no soap or toilet paper, but it is rather clean. The pitches are small but cosy for a short stay. At the end, I have to mention the girl working at the reception desk when we arrived. She was so helpful, took us to choose the pitch, showed us everything and explained what we needed to know to easily get around the Porto and back. She deserves 5 stars!

    Really close to the beach, beautiful spaces with trees, great showers and toilets, electricity and flush for chemical toilets are available. Nice bar for breakfast. Great and detailed attention for security check, IDs etc etc

  • 3/5 Eva L. 5 years ago on Google
    Pure transit camping. Basic (bad shower heads), you stay there to visit Porto, not to enjoy the camping experience. Small lot, close to other campers. Close to the beach, which is great and for us also meant very windy nights. Someone else mentioned the poor two birds in the tiny cage at reception - I concur: very sad. Great cafe at the front with excellent bread and pastries.

  • 3/5 Stella E. 11 months ago on Google
    Near Porto and opposite the beach. The facilities are old and not kept up, have to take your own soap & toilet roll as in many campsites in Portugal. No hot water for wash up, has washing machine usage - give your clothes to reception. It's expensive for the facilities but with closeness to Porto can charge. Pluses are the nice cafe/bakery at the front of campsite, friendly enough staff and closeness to Porto & lovely beach.

    Cheap and basic to the point of no toilet paper, but it's ok for the price. The service is very nice:)

  • 2/5 Christian B. 7 months ago on Google
    A campsite in a good location, but unfortunately very bad-organised. Toilets and showers are old and some are broken. Spots are small and power supply consists of several extension cables that are laid across the site. Two stars because they have a nice laundry service.

  • 2/5 Carlos Manuel N. Guerra A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location nearby the beach and good access to Porto. For the rest, well, the essentials are there. If you use electricity they’ll charge you extra for 10A. Otherwise 3A is available. Toilets are clean but outdated. People in the surrounding apartments can look down at the camping. A bit uncomfortable. Stuff are ok. Perfect for 1 night.

  • 1/5 Joseph B. 8 months ago on Google
    One start because 0 isn’t possible. Terribly priced for awful conditions, we were planing to stay longer but had to leave and find another. Found one in the Douro valley that was cheaper and had a pool, restaurant, views, river access and so much more.

    Great staff. Ukrainian guy went out of his way. Overcrowded and let down by facilities

👍👍 April '23. Bottom line - this place is fantastic value for money ! and lets face it when you stay here it will be to visit the beautiful city of Porto. The bus stop (pick up and drop off) is literally 100yds from the site gates, its 1.90€ each, one way, every 30 mins which take you to within 500m...

😐 Expensive site. We paid €40 for a small camper, awning and 2 people. The pitch was a good size with clean wc and shower facilities. The bar closed early and wasn't open at times, however, there are restaurants outside the camp. The swimming pool was nice and very clean. There's a bus stop not far fr...

👍 Excellent small campsite in VN de Guia. Welcome drink upon arrival. Heated pool, wine tasting, lounge and kitchen area, every facility including drying and washing time. Pedro will even give you a lift to town. Downside... Minor. Couple of noisy dogs living locally. Well positioned for Porto and b...
