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.

What customers say

Great location near the beach, with easy public transport to Lisbon. Staff, cleanliness, and cafe bar get high marks. Some found facilities dated (showers, hot water). Wi-Fi only at reception. Noise and upkeep comments are mixed.

Liked Nice location. Pitches well laid out and spacious. Didn’t use restaurant but for breakfast the coffee and chocolate croissants were to die for. Access to beach is about 10 min walk

Disliked Toilet block is a bit dated. Options in the Shop were a little limited and for the price, I would have expected more

Liked Los aseos estaban siempre limpios y había papel higiénico fuera.

Disliked El peor camping en el que he estado, sin ninguna duda.

He viajado por toda Europa alojándome en campings, y jamás he vivido una experiencia tan decepcionante como en este.

Los baños son muy antiguos y piden a gritos una reforma. Los fregaderos no tienen agua caliente, y las duchas funcionan con un pulsador que apenas da agua durante 5 segundos. Ducharse se convierte en una tarea incómoda y desesperante, especialmente si vas con niños: necesitas mantener pulsado con una mano mientras intentas ducharte como puedes con la otra.

La hora de silencio por la noche es pura teoría. El propio camping pone música y no cumple con el horario aparte de la música elevada, y el ruido del resto de campistas es constante. Se supone que no pueden entrar coches a partir de las 23:00, pero por la noche se siguen oyendo vehículos circular. Y por la mañana, los propios trabajadores se ponen a gritar desde las 7:00, con lo cual es imposible descansar.

En mi parcela tenía una tienda de campaña y una tienda porche que usaba como cocina. Durante seis días nadie me informó de que poner una tienda adicional tenía coste extra, y al sexto día me lo comunicaron... para luego cobrarme esos seis días completos. Me pareció una política abusiva e inadmisible. Nunca me ha pasado algo así en ningún otro camping.

Pero lo peor de todo fue la plaga de minicucarachas. Era asqueroso tener que estar matando bichos constantemente dentro de la tienda. Dormir, comer o estar tranquilamente se hacía imposible. Una sensación de suciedad permanente que estropea totalmente la estancia.

En resumen: instalaciones obsoletas, normas que no se respetan ni por el propio personal, ruido constante y falta de transparencia en la gestión. No volveré y no se lo recomendaría a nadie. Hay opciones mucho mejores por el mismo precio o incluso menos.

Pandora 1 bedroom mobile home

Liked The site is in a great location which is kept in clean condition by friendly and efficient ground staff. The cafe bar also is well run with excellent staff. The facilities are plentiful. The ladies on reception are welcoming and knowledgeable.

Disliked The pandora hut was not ready at 4pm, the gentleman on reception unfortunately is not so welcoming, there were no coins to be able to do self service laundry and the parasol at hut had seen better days or could do with a wash at least. Better bedding would also be an improvement.

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.
