Fancy some forest pitching up near a Portuguese beach? Park your gear at Parque Orbitur Gala, near Figueira da Foz. The splendid lengthy sands – and popular surfing/bodyboarding spot – of Cova Gala are within walking distance of the park at 400 metres away, and the site is in the centre of Lavos forest and close to Serra Gorda mountain for outdoor options on days when you're not at the beach. And it's all a few kilometres north of Figueira da Foz and another splendid beach in its 2km stretch. Parque Orbitur Gala is properly equipped with plenty of facilities and amenities, such as an outdoor pool, tennis courts, a sports court, table tennis, playground and even a car wash; food is sorted at the supermarket and the restaurant and bar with terrace. Parque Orbitur Gala also has coin-operated washing machines, a service point and three shower and loo blocks.

What customers say

Great beachside spot with clean facilities & helpful staff. Some find pitches small, mention mosquitoes in evenings, lack of shade, and a limited restaurant menu.

Liked La tranquilidad, los WC de nuestra zona muy nuevos y bastante limpios. Buena piscina también. Acceso directo a una playa,, casi desierta, pero con mucho viento y poca posibilidad de baño.

Disliked La zona donde nos pusieron ( no pudimos elegir) es un secarral, cerca de la salida a las playa, no hay ni una sombra, menos mal que hace aire, sino hay que ser muy valiente para aguantar ahí. Y cuando anochece ya puedes meterte a cubierto para que no te acribillen los mosquitos. Además está como en un polígono y tienes que coger el coche para tofo.Conclusión muy caro para lo que ofrece, dos personas, camper y perro 43 euros por día, excesivo

From the manager: Agradecemos su preferencia y le pedimos disculpas por las molestias causadas por los mosquitos. Le aclaramos que, además de la desinfección regular en todo el camping, también disponemos de plantas repelentes de mosquitos.
Las parcelas están delimitadas y numeradas. Los huéspedes pueden elegir otra parcela informando del cambio en recepción.
Agradecemos todos sus comentarios y apoyo para mejorar nuestras condiciones.
¡Le deseamos mucha salud!

Local attractions

After a day at Cova Gala's sands/sea, find Figueira da Foz for a day on its beach followed by dinner at one of the many restaurants or pavement cafés among its old streets (the casino in town is pretty popular too). The Sierra da Boa Viagem mountain range is three kilometres north of the town for nature spotters and hikers. The ancient city of Coimbra is about 55km from Parque Orbitur Gala, dating back to Roman times and awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2013 for its rather magnificent old buildings. Spend at least a couple of days here if that's what you're into: highly recommended sights to see are the university baroque library, its rising Upper Town and its twelfth century Sé Velha cathedral. Coimbra's Museu Nacional de Machado de Castro/National Museum Machado de Castro is built on the old Roman forum; more Roman history is at Conímbriga, one of the biggest Roman excavations ever unearthed in Portugal and still the best preserved.
