  • Vast site outside Perelhal, a 10-minute drive from the Atlantic coast
  • Viana do Castelo 25 minutes’ drive; Porto 45 minutes
  • Pool, garden and barbecue area; spacious pitches in a eucalyptus grove
Sitting between the city of Barcelos (15 minutes’ drive) and the Atlantic coast (10 minutes) is Quinta Viana, a fenced-off 1.2-hectare site in the valley of the Cávado River. It’s blissfully peaceful here – not least because the owners welcome only a maximum of nine groups at any time; and spacious touring pitches are surrounded by a fragrant eucalyptus forest. Dogs are welcome on site and must be kept on leads at all times because the site's two German shepherds roam freely around the premises – note that they are well trained, not to mention used to being around guests of all ages and sizes. A saltwater pool is available for refreshing dips and invigorating laps when you can’t face the drive to the coast; there are tall trees and large umbrellas for shade, and plenty of loungers around the pool. The flower-filled gardens also have a barbecue area where you can mingle with the other guests and get some inspiration on what to do the next day. Catching a wave (and a sunset) at Esposende (10 minutes), maybe? Or a spot of birdwatching on the sand dunes of the Parque Natural do Litoral Norte (20 minutes), with its windmill-dotted landscape? Golf Quinta da Barca (10 minutes) is an 18-hole course on the banks of the Cávado, and a horse-riding centre a 10-minute drive away arranges excursions in the countryside and on the beach. When you need to fill up the larder, there’s a supermarket in Perelhal village (5 minutes’ drive), alongside a couple of restaurants.

What customers say

Great little spot for a chill holiday. Super clean with a brilliant salt pool. Hosts are lovely, making it feel like family. Lots of thoughtful extras like garden produce. Still growing, but a real gem! Could do with more sinks and loos.

Power optional grass site

Liked Wow!
We would give this 11/10 if we could.
A most unusual campsite. Small (max 9 vans) in a meadow that is part of Victor's garden.
There is a truly family feel to the place. Victor even gathered everyone around the firepit and gave us port to celebrate his birthday.
The family are further improving the site, but already the swimming pool and showers/toilets are amazing.
Was sorry to leave and may revisit on our return journey.

Disliked Very little to dislike.
The 'old' shower block is scabby, but rarely used now the new one is built.
And the toilet disposal is very basic.
Otherwise a great site.

Power optional grass site

Liked What not to like? From arrival to departure this was a heavenly stay. Hosts Victor and Suzanne are multi-lingual and can converse excellently in English. Relatively new site but so welcoming. Site is situated on a previous vineyard. Hosts restrict numbers so no more than 9 outfits at any one time. Facilities are excellent and spotlessly clean. Fantastic showers. Beautiful saltwater swimming pool with ample sun loungers and large umbrellas to provide shade. Communal areas - dining covered area and relaxing sofa area opposite the pool area and another one on the camping site area with a tiled table and chairs in shade. If that’s not all there is also a log fire area with seating around to encourage socialisation in the evenings. The hosts are so attentive and really welcome guests into their family. Genuinely pleased to offer advice about the local area. Dogs and children welcomed. Book now for a real treat! You won’t be disappointed.

Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Liked Loved Mr and Mrs Viktor - couldn't do enough for us. Told us to treat as our home with fresh fruit available whenever we wanted to pick, straight from the plants. Lit the firepit for us in the evening. Nice location, handy for lots of different places

Liked This must be one of the best campsites we stayed at so far, completely new facilities, nice saltwater pool and absolutely friendly host.
We travelled with a small baby and this was zero issue, especially with the two dogs the host has on site which are super friendly and well trained

Local attractions

The Elevador de Santa Luzia at Viana do Castelo (25 minutes’ drive) travels up a forested hill topped by the monumental Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, started in the early 1900s. Take in far-reaching views of the coastline and the city before checking out the Roman ruins nearby, then head to the modern cultural centre on the Limia river for an exhibition. Built between the 15th and 17th centuries, the cathedral in Braga (25 minutes) displays various architectural styles – from the Manueline exterior to the rich baroque decoration of its chapels. After visiting the cathedral treasury, head to the landscaped Santa Barbara Garden, part of the Archbishops Court. Porto (45 minutes) is famed for its many buildings covered with blue azulejo tiles – from the cloisters of the cathedral, to the Chapel of Souls and São Bento Station. After visiting Livraria Lello, a splendid bookshop with an elegant staircase and a stained-glass ceiling, take a breather and sample the local Port wine in one of several bars.
