  • Small family-friendly site in the Montesinho Natural Park
  • A 25-minute drive from the medieval town of Bragança
  • On-site restaurant serving homemade local meals and snacks
It’s a truly green and pleasant part of the world up here in the north-eastern corner of Portugal. If it’s peace and quiet you seek, you’ll find it in spades both at Parque de Campismo Cepo Verde itself and in the surrounding Montesinho Natural Park, one of the country’s largest protected areas. Choose to rest your head here for quiet pitches in the woods, shaded by native chestnut, cherry and oak trees: this spot was once a Roman settlement and a mighty fine location they picked too for mountain views… These days it’s an equally enviable locale as you can amble straight out onto several of the park’s marked trails to explore on foot. Push yourself to the end of your hike safe in the knowledge that a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool awaits upon your return to the site (a small charge applies for pool use). A playground, sports area, basketball and table tennis are also on site if any energy remains. Appetites duly worked up, there are communal grills for you to sizzle up dinner, or you can wander over to the restaurant to pick from its menu of homemade traditional faves such as wild boar, local cheeses and chestnut pudding. A woodburning stove keeps things toasty on chillier nights. Among the site’s amenities are a washing-up area, a washing machine, a chemical disposal point, a toilet block with hot showers and accessible facilities, and plenty of taps with fresh springwater. Wifi is available in the restaurant and main building, and there’s a small shop there too that will save you having to lug your own wood, charcoal and gas to the site.

What customers say

This tranquil campsite, nestled in a beautiful mountain national park, offers spacious, secluded pitches and stunning scenery. Visitors frequently praise the spotless and well-appointed toilet and shower facilities, some even noting piped music. The friendly and helpful staff, along with the pleasant pool and restaurant, are highlights. While most found the site excellent, some noted a lack of on-site shop facilities, potential charges for the pool, and some pitches being uneven or a distance from amenities.

Claire L.

Electric optional gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked Cleanliness of the site and facilities. Friendly staff in reception and cafe. The lovely Madredeus (Portuguese group) being played in the shower/toilets. The fact that my home language was spoken which made me feel safe in the event that I needed any help. Spacious site and pitches. The pool was superb and I loved that during the peak season we'd pay to use it as this would effectively manage the numbers in the pool & area so that those of us who wanted to swim could swim! A really good idea. We stayed here Sep 2025, off peak so the pool was free to use. Lovely quiet setting in nature and we were visited by wild cats during the night which was a surprise!! Liked having the bar, cafe and restaurant as an option. Loved the fact that there was no 'entertainment' so we could enjoy the peace, the silence, the owls, the stars.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. We will return! Oh, wifi only available in cafe area!

John P.

Electric optional gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked A wonderful site set in a valley with a series of terraces, quiet and tranquil. The facilities are immaculately clean.

The food is excellent and traditional, you rarely find authentic food like this is Portugal.

Be warned, make sure that you put your name down in good time to reserve a table. The table service is a little eccentric, but stick with it and enjoy the food.

Really lovely pool.

The minor road that leads to the campsite, would be a wonderful cycle towards Spain.

Electric optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The location was good and the facilities clean.

Disliked The pitch was very stony and I couldn't get my tent pegs in the ground. There were a lot of steps to get down to the toilet block

Local attractions

Wander out from the site and you’ll quickly be able to pick up some of the well-marked trails that run across the Montesinho Natural Park. In summer, pick cherries as you go, and in autumn join groups to learn about foraging for mushrooms. Ask on site for details of hikes that suit your abilities and interests – perhaps drive the half hour to the village of Dine for a walk that takes in ancient lime kilns and a neolithic cave. Also half an hour away is Quintanilha, where you can take a walk along the banks of the Maçãs river to a bathing spot to cool off in the clear water. Guadramil, 50 minutes’ drive from the site, is the place to go if you’d like to spot wildlife such as deer and wolves. It’s worth heading out of the park for a day to visit the town of Bragança, around a 25-minute drive away. Start with a wander around the medieval castle and citadel before heading over to the Romanesque Domus Municipalis; also in town are a military museum and the Iberian Museum of Masks and Costume.
