Parque Orbitur Costa da Caparica is on the outskirts of the seaside resort of Costa da Caparica, which lies just over the Tagus river from Lisbon. The site is 500 metres from the beach, and around a kilometre from the shops and restaurants of the town centre. With Lisbon just a 20-kilometre journey away as well, the site makes a good base for those who would like to combine trips to the city with some beach time. The site has a bar/restaurant with outdoor terrace, a mini market, playground, tennis court and games room. Other facilities include washrooms with showers, toilets, accessible facilities and baby-changing area. The local beaches are popular for surfing, bodyboarding and kiteboarding, with lessons available from the town's watersports centre. Other activities include walks to see the fossil cliffs or the Capuchos Convent, high in the hills overlooking the resort. With good public transport links from Costa da Caparica it's also easy to reach Lisbon and Sintra for day trips.

Domino 1 bedroom cabin

Liked: Viajando con niños siempre elegimos camping que puedan tener opciones de animación o instalaciones en los que los pequeños puedan divertirse, en este caso, la animacion nocturna y diurna era muy buena. Por otro lado, tenia un buen parque. También nos gustó los bungalows, tienen lo justo y necesario La atención esta bien, pero para nuestro gusto es necesario que atiendan mejor a las necesidades de los usuarios

Disliked: los baños y la limpieza en general de las instalaciones compartidas duchas y baños. Estaba bastante sucios, teniendo solo pocos turnos por dia para limpiarlo. Tambien las zonas de las parcelas estaban bastante sucias, no habiendo una fluidez de limpieza continua. En la atención son bastante tranquilos y algo pasotas.

Liked: Good on-site shop with really cheap Butane gas cylinders compared to UK. A 2.75kg cylinder swap was €19.40. Used local taxi organised by reception to reach ferry into Lisbon but difficult on return, had to use bus from port using Google Maps to ascertain route. A couple of Pizza restaurants nearby were very good.

Disliked: In a very built-up area near to flats but I suppose this provided benefits with buses and restaurants.

Liked: Great location close to beach and the town, easy walking distance. Lisbon 15€ in an Uber.

Disliked: Sandy pitches. Choice of pitch limited by the amount of electric cable that you carry as only one power point between around 8 pitches. We were forced to take a pitch on the side of the road, (noisy). Toilet and showers are shocking with many tiles missing from the floor of the showers. I saw cleaners in the block but it is filthy! The whole site looks neglected. We were told that the bar/restaurant was closed for refurbishment, this is not true as they opened for a party of school children. Supermarket also closed for supposed refurbishment.

From the manager: We regret that you did not have a positive experience with the service provided in our campsite. We will make every effort to rectify the situation. Thank you for your comment.

Local attractions

You'll want to get to Lisbon as hastily as poss if you have any sense, but do take time to investigate the area around the site in between city days and daydreaming on the beaches… Worthwhile local trips include the two-kilometre hike to the 16th-century Franciscan Capuchos Convent, built high up above Costa da Caparica, and a five-kilometre trip to the fossil cliff of the Costa de Caparica Protected Landscape, rising up along a coastal length of 13 kilometres. Stop off at Almada on the way to Lisbon to see the famed Sanctuary of Christ the King/ Santuário de Cristo Rei statue, looking out over the Tagus river towards the capital city. Visitors are welcome: head up to the observation deck for spectacular views of the city of Lisbon, the Tagus and the Ponte 25 de Abril. And then onto Lisbon, Portugal’s hilly, coastal capital city crammed with ancient sites such as the Moorish Castle of São Jorge, old pastel-coloured buildings and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery. Also take a ride on the historic Tram 28 and take in the sights of a few of the city's dozens of museums, such as the five centuries of decorative ceramic tiles at the National Azulejo Museum, or the ancient artwork of the famed Calouste Gulbenkian Museum. Beyond Lisbon is Sintra, a 50-kilometre journey away, and well worth the trip to see its castles and palaces such as the Palácio Nacional de Sintra and the Castelo dos Mouros with its backdrop of forest.
