  • Algarve site with a natural swimming pond made of clear spring water
  • In Carvoeiro in Lagoa, 25 minutes’ drive from Albufeira; 30 from Lagos
  • Surf camp, sauna and activities like barbecue evenings and yoga
The bags are packed, the sandals are slipped on and you’re off to the Algarve coast. Before you set off for any silky beaches or seaside terraces, set up your base at Oasis Camp in Lagoa, which is rather dreamy indeed… The site has a natural swimming pond made of clear spring water and right on site, there’s a surf camp providing equipment rental and multi-day lessons. If surfing isn’t quite your thing, there are also fitness activities and yoga classes to get stuck into. Having Lagoa as your location is excellent too. With rows of whitewashed house, many from the 18th century, there’s plenty to do, whether it’s surfing, dining on typical Portuguese cuisine, visiting Castelo de São João do Arade or driving under 20 minutes to sandy beaches like Praia dos Caneiros and Marinha beach. Oasis Camp has 50,000 square metres of greenery, and as if that isn’t enough to help you relax already, there’s also the natural swimming pond, a pool table and a table tennis table. The site runs communal barbecue evenings, as well as excursions across the Algarve. There’s a chilled-out atmosphere, that’s for certain.

Kevin B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel and sand pitch

Liked: Nice surroundings and very friendly staff . The site is very tranquil, a good chill out place

Disliked: Only 2 unisex toilets, unisex showers. No hot water in the morning as the only heating is solar. Nowhere near enough services for the number of vans on site. Bar was closed as was the restaurant. The shop looked as though it has never been open. Particularly annoying as there is nothing else nearby No van service point. Black waste has to be tipped into an open man hole. Nowhere to empty grey waste water. Swimming pool is a pond, very pretty but not sure how clean the water is though.

Jack C. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric gravel and sand pitch

Liked: The campsite is beautiful and peaceful, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the facilities are cleaned every day. A couple of sinks for dishes, three toilets and six showers. The water is not suitable for drinking and probably the water for the shower is not as hot as you might like some times. Anyway, you can continue showering without a problem. You might encounter spiders, mosquitoes or even venomous caterpillars, but they started working on them as soon as they knew about them and notified us. We also lived with donkeys and chickens, even some horses or sheeps not so far :) There are a lot of dogs protecting the farms around the area, so better to keep an eye on them when you walk out the campsite. Overall, we loved our days in the area. We appreciate what we have experienced: beautiful Algarve region, wonderful memories and thankful too for the weather we had, the people we met and the food. Muito obrigado ☺️🧡

Liked: Quietness

Disliked: Mixed toilets and showers, the later not being suitable for my disabilities, too small to use. The electrics are a disaster waiting to happen. WIFI was also turned off after 24hrs for some reason.

Local attractions

If surfing isn’t quite your cup of tea, it’s still possible to get the kids into the water without so much stepping foot on the beach. Slide & Splash (10 minutes’ drive) is a popular water park in Lagoa with slides rather than surfboards. Many of the Algarve’s most popular spots are, of course, within driving distance too. Will you start with Lagos (half an hour), where there’s a steep descent to Praia do Camilo, dramatic cliffs with a lighthouse, a castle and all the stunning terraces within the walled old town? Or instead, begin with Albufeira (25 minutes), which is just a tad quicker to get to? At this spot, join a diving trip (or a dolphin-watching trip if you don’t fancy going down under). Faro (45 minutes) is another stunning location, with plenty of stunning coastal scenery for cyclists to breathe in, as well as a cobbled old town, 13th-century cathedral and a museum in a convent.
