  • 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.

Electric optional gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Très bon accueil, personnels chaleureux et disponibles. On nous laisse le choix de l’emplacement qui sont très variés (malheureusement à 18h30 il ne restait pas beaucoup de choix) mais les emplacements sont grands, propres, arborés. Camping calme, pas d’activités proposées mais espace de jeux pour les enfants, tables à l’abri pour les temps d’orage et piscine.

Disliked: Un gros spot de lumière qui éclairait d’avantage notre tente que la route qui s’éteint à 22h50

From the manager: Hello. Mrs Laura. Thank you for your stay at Cepo Verde and comment in Pitchup.com. Just want you to know that during the period of your whole stay at Cepo Verde, the owner was never at the place anytime, so we really don´t know who are you reféring to and also we don´t know the reason of your dislike. And we would like to know who was that person /colaborator you mentioned, and also the reason of your coment so we can improve something related to that. Anyway, we are happy that you liked it. Kind regards. Cristiana. Hola señora Laura. Gracias por su estancia en Cepo Verde y por el comentario en Pitchup.com. Queremos que sepas que durante toda tu estadía en Cepo Verde, el propietario nunca estuvo en el lugar en ningún momento, por lo que realmente no sabemos a quién te refieres y tampoco sabemos el motivo del disgusto. Y nos gustaría saber quién fue esa persona/colaborador que mencionaste, y también el motivo del comentario para poder mejorar algo relacionado con eso. De todos modos, nos alegra que te haya gustado. Atentamente. Cristiana.

Electric optional gravel and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: The only like on this site was the swimming pool.

Disliked: The pitches were not fit for purpose,the pitch we were allocated on arrival was far too small resulting in my van hitting over hanging tree's.We ended up parked on such an incline two sets of level blocks couldnt level the van enough to allow the fridge to work,resulting in lost food.The site was so bad we left after only one night. Plus the electric supply may well box may as well have been in Spain,as it was so far away from our pitch.

From the manager: Mr. Phillip Renwick: you didn´t report us nothing of those alleged facts while your stay in the campsite, so that´s a really surprise for us to read your review, so agressive and - we think – so unfair. You had the chance to tell us all about that while you were here. Why did you waited more than 2 weeks to report, now, all that, on-line? If something went wrong, we always try to manage and fix it here, in the spot. How can you be so unfair and agressive on your review, specially whem you say, “Avoid this site”. Just look and read all the reviews about Cepo Verde campsite in the last 3 years (an average 9/10), and think about it: does your description corresponds to reallity? We really don´t think so. We think that you should have reported us all that during your stay and I´m sure that we could make your stay very pleasant. Unfortnuatly that didn´t happened by some reason that we are not sure what really was.

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.
