  • Small family-friendly site in the Montesinho Natural Park
  • A 25-minute drive from the medieval town of Bragança
  • On-site restaurant serving homemade local meals and snacks
It’s a truly green and pleasant part of the world up here in the north-eastern corner of Portugal. If it’s peace and quiet you seek, you’ll find it in spades both at Parque de Campismo Cepo Verde itself and in the surrounding Montesinho Natural Park, one of the country’s largest protected areas. Choose to rest your head here for quiet pitches in the woods, shaded by native chestnut, cherry and oak trees: this spot was once a Roman settlement and a mighty fine location they picked too for mountain views… These days it’s an equally enviable locale as you can amble straight out onto several of the park’s marked trails to explore on foot. Push yourself to the end of your hike safe in the knowledge that a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool awaits upon your return to the site (a small charge applies for pool use). A playground, sports area, basketball and table tennis are also on site if any energy remains. Appetites duly worked up, there are communal grills for you to sizzle up dinner, or you can wander over to the restaurant to pick from its menu of homemade traditional faves such as wild boar, local cheeses and chestnut pudding. A woodburning stove keeps things toasty on chillier nights. Among the site’s amenities are a washing-up area, a washing machine, a chemical disposal point, a toilet block with hot showers and accessible facilities, and plenty of taps with fresh springwater. Wifi is available in the restaurant and main building, and there’s a small shop there too that will save you having to lug your own wood, charcoal and gas to the site.

What customers say

This peaceful campground offers stunning mountain views, spacious, well-kept sites, and exceptionally clean restrooms, often called the best. Friendly, helpful staff. Good on-site dining with takeout. A lack of an on-site store and distance to town were noted, but the serene vibe, nature, and great facilities make it highly recommended. Minor issues with pitch leveling and electrical hook-ups.

Power optional gravel and earth RV campsite

Liked The pitch sizes we great and there was alot of choice. Lovely and clean and best toilet and shower facilities of our trip. Drinking water available and good electric plugs. Views were wonderful. Staff helpful and friendly. Restaurant offered a takeaway service. Good information provided about surrounding area and activities available

Disliked There was a charge of 3.9 euros per day per person to use the pool and you had no choice. This information was not provided until arrival.
If you want to use laundry facilities it was 20 euros.
Nearest town is 15 km away and no shop facilities on site

From the manager: Hello.
Many thanks for your visit and review. About the swimming pool: the extra payment is well refered in Pitchup.com (you can check when you make a booking in "extras"). About the laundry: we do not have automatic machines, so we provide a service to the guests that includes: our satff do it for you: washing 9 kg, drying and deliver. Its a full service that we thing is quiet convenient for the guests. And this costs € 20. All things must be fairly payd.

Power optional grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Zona para acampar con sombra y muchos árboles, buen trato, muchos rincones para jugar con los niños. Al ser temporada baja, nos dejaron acceder a la piscina gratis. Me encantó el detalle de la música portuguesa en los baños, que por cierto están muy bien decorados y limpios. La zona de lavar platos cuenta con escurreplatos. Al final son los pequeños detalles los que hacen una estancia agradable y relajada :)

Disliked Hubiera estado bien disponer de tienda para comprar algunas cosas básicas.

From the manager: When you made the check-in, Daniel was very nice with you and sent you to a very beautiful plot, shady, on a beautiful tree surrounding area (is so beautiful that we made a video spot for our Facebook and we post it on the 21st of may). On that video you can actually see a few motorcycles that loved to stay at that specific spot. And we receive many many bikes in our campsite every month, and we actually are partner of ACT (Adventure Country Track Europe). There were a few people close to your spot, so it’s not true when you say “and put us as far from others and Amenities as possible”. No, you were on a very central position in the campsite, like dozens of other guests there. This said, we are really surprised and choked with your review end evaluation and we think that you´re being absolutely unfair, disproportioned and quite dishonest. Daniel treated you so well, went with you to show everything and explain you all about the campsite. He was quiet professional. And now, you evaluated with “1” point in a scale of “10”!? You couldn’t be more radical than that, that´s true. But you couldn’t be so unfair too. Because when you left the campsite, you invoked reasons related with some disable issue of your partner. But you did not mentioned nothing related to that in your booking (made days before arrival), you din not made special mentions previously and you did not mentioned that now (!) in your review (!). So, we don’t know the real reasons of your discontent. We really don’t know you state of mind. We hope you can find something else in Portugal that can feat your strange expectations during your riding.

Local attractions

Wander out from the site and you’ll quickly be able to pick up some of the well-marked trails that run across the Montesinho Natural Park. In summer, pick cherries as you go, and in autumn join groups to learn about foraging for mushrooms. Ask on site for details of hikes that suit your abilities and interests – perhaps drive the half hour to the village of Dine for a walk that takes in ancient lime kilns and a neolithic cave. Also half an hour away is Quintanilha, where you can take a walk along the banks of the Maçãs river to a bathing spot to cool off in the clear water. Guadramil, 50 minutes’ drive from the site, is the place to go if you’d like to spot wildlife such as deer and wolves. It’s worth heading out of the park for a day to visit the town of Bragança, around a 25-minute drive away. Start with a wander around the medieval castle and citadel before heading over to the Romanesque Domus Municipalis; also in town are a military museum and the Iberian Museum of Masks and Costume.
