Winery tours around a 70-hectare estate within 20 kilometres
Terrace restaurant serving daily specials

Well now, just look at this. Spectacular views are yours for the taking at Camping Quinta das Cegonhas, set splendidly on an old farm on the edge of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park in central Portugal, with tiptop vistas of the surrounding valley. Solo travellers, groups and families are all welcome to holiday here… The landscape around the park is scattered with big boulders, green valleys and several mountain peaks, so you're mighty well sorted for heady (and challenging) hikes and bike routes – and this Gouveia municipality and Guarda province setting is just the ticket too for birdwatching, ancient archaeological sites, medieval village wanders and winery tours: a vast vineyard is under 20 minutes' drive from the site. After all that, make for the restaurant of an evening for daily specials on the terrace (and make it your mission to munch through them all), or toddle along to the bar for coffee, local wines and small eats. The restaurant specialises in Portuguese cuisine with fresh, local ingredients and organic produce from the garden. Camping Quinta das Cegonhas has pitches set on terraces around the estate; showers; toilets and a washing-up area. There's also a fine big pool, set like most of the rest of the site among first-rate valley views.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely campsite , great remote location, good size pitches friendly staff and WiFi
Good area within the site to walk the dog , pool a bonus and showers etc good , fantastic clear sky nights , supermarkets like continental and Lidl’s only 12 minutes away

Disliked Just a couple of minor issues, appreciate it was September but restaurant was only open some nights and then only a limited number of diners , not an issue normally but had not restocked with food , bar snack was generous but again not every night , an email before arrival advising would have helped as a lovely peaceful site , one other item was the lack of soap in dispensers

Local attractions

As the site lies at the gateway to the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, hiking and cycling trails aplenty are within easy reach to keep you occupied for weeks should you so wish. The natural park is home to Portugal's biggest mountain range (called the Serra da Estrela, oddly enough) and is the country's biggest conservation area, covering about 1,000 square kilometres: look out for badgers, wildcats, otters and wall lizards if off on a nature spotting trip. A vast vineyard with tastings and extensive tours is about 18 kilometres from the site, run by affable vintner Manuel. The max number on each tour is 10, so if you're seriously thirsting for a trip to a Portuguese vineyard, let the Camping Quinta das Cegonhas know your intentions on arrival and they can book for you. A short drive from the park will take you to Lago Comprida; hike away from the lake for around four kilometres and you'll find another lake with a manmade concrete and granite structure in it – the Dam of Conchos – that looks (and acts) a bit like a plughole, transporting the lake's overflow down through a 1519-metre tunnel to Lago Comprida: it's quite a sight and well worth the walk. Historic towns and villages such as Melo, Folgosinho, Gouveia and Linhares are all within easy reach.
