  • Small touring site in private gardens in the village of Janas
  • Five minutes' drive from the coast, 15 from Sintra and 40 from Lisbon
  • Pool, kitchen, sun loungers, outdoor sofas and shaded tables
Days out in Sintra and Lisbon, or coastal times on the beach at Azenhas do Mar? Plonk yourselves down within easy reach of them all at Sintra Camping Garden, a small touring site in the gardens of a property in the village of Janas. This is a most strategic spot for outings around the Cascais area – it’s five minutes' drive to the coast, 15 minutes to the fairytale-like buildings of Sintra or around 40 minutes to the vibrant streets of Lisbon. Not brought a car? Flag down a bus for the ride to Sintra (and then on to Lisbon if you so desire) or borrow one of the site’s four bikes for local exploring – they’re free to use (thumbs up for free things…). There’ll be no need for wheels in order to sort eats – a well-equipped kitchen on site has a gas cooker, microwave and fridge. Supplies can be picked up in the village five minutes away on foot, where there’s a couple of supermarkets and a bakery as well as restaurants and coffee shops if you’d rather eat out. Back at base there’s plenty of scope for sunbathing, snoozes and snacks – sun loungers, outdoor sofas and shaded tables are scattered around the place for just those purposes. Should the weather get a bit toasty, slope off for a dip in the swimming pool before hosing off in one of the site’s hot showers.

What customers say

Lovely garden site with a helpful host and good facilities (hot showers, Wi-Fi, pool, kitchen). Pitches and loos are basic, with minor issues noted, but owner fixes things. Pets are a hit. Great Sintra location.

Anthony F. 2 reviews

Powered gravel and concrete campervan site

Liked Another issue. The white gravel in the parking area gave off a white powdery dust that migrates to every surface.Filthy. To be quite blunt if this was in England I would be suing for damage to van. Pine resin hardens unless removed quickly.

Disliked Van got covered in resin sap from pine tree. Owner had to supply petrol to remove from glass and paintwork. Unable to remove from roof due to height. What makes this appalling is that the owner knew of the problem but still parks visitors there!!!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Dear Anthony, the spot you had usually has no problems with resin from the tree but due to strong winds at the time it still fell on part of your van. We provided the petrol and helped all the way until all was removed and you seemed to be satisfied with the solution provided so we do not understand your comment details.

Liked Carlos die ons goed ontving en ons wegwijs maakte. We waren een uurtje te vroeg maar daar maakte hij geen probleem over. Het water in de douches was warm.

Disliked Voor onze camper was de poort om binnen te komen heel krap. Ik zou het niet nog eens doen.

 Sheila C. 3 reviews

Powered gravel and concrete campervan site

Liked The owner contacted us the day before our visit to confirm our reservation. Communication was good, helped by Carlo speaking English He was helpful about suggestions when visiting Sintra.
Our Campervan is small so our pitch was in the area in his garden which is shared with the chickens and dogs (not messy). There was plenty of parking space.
The toilet (always with toilet tissue) and showers were clean with plenty of hot water. The washing up area had a double sink and drainer which we appreciated.
The swimming pool was in a fenced off area and was lovely after a hot day sight seeing.
The WiFi connection was good.
We enjoyed our stay and added an extra night.

Recebemos contacto da plataforma e até lhe oferecemos uma noite extra e o senhor não compareceu. O seu comentário é injusto e não corresponde à verdade.

Liked Carlos was warm and welcoming, showed us where all facilities were and the WiFi code. Booked for 1 night and the next morning we decided to stay a second night so booked again. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Nice to see dogs and chickens on site, they were not roaming around in the camping area.

Liked Grundsätzlich eine schöne Idee Stellplätze im eigenen Garten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich.

Disliked Die Vögel im Garten waren eher unangenehm und die Sanitäranlagen könnten leicht verbessert werden, wenn man das Silikon erneuern würde. Es ist nicht nur optisch nicht schön, sondern auch nicht gut für die Gesundheit.

Local attractions

To the coast first? A fine choice. Aim for Azenhas do Mar (five minutes’ drive) to wander around a whitewashed seafront village and splash in seawater pools, or make a break to the beach at Praia das Maças (10 minutes), where the waves lend themselves well to surfing or bodyboarding, and there’s another saltwater pool if you decree the water too choppy for a swim. Stunning Sintra (15 minutes) is an absolute must-visit too – it’s packed with colourful palaces, cobbled streets and cracking views. The Moorish castle, the National Palace and Quinta da Regaleira estate are all worth a bit of your time, as is Pena Palace, a little further out of town (25 minutes from the site). There’s stacks of stuff to see and do in Lisbon (40 minutes): ride the trams, head up to São Jorge Castle for city views, amble through the Alfama district and seek out sweet treats at the best pasteis de nata bakeries. If you don’t fancy a city day, stay closer to home with a meander around Monserrate Palace and Park (10 minutes) or a stroll and a sip at Colares Regional Winery (five minutes).
