Sintra Camping Garden

Liked Beautiful peaceful garden site with fabulous pitches, a lovely pool, generous shared kitchen facilities and very clean showers and loos. We loved the dogs, chickens and ducks, which were all part of the experience and the hosts were delightful. Helpful, welcoming and hospitable, even kindly giving us some fruit from their garden for our journey home! We booked one night and ended up staying 3. We wished we could have stayed longer but had to move on to Northern Spain to catch our ferry home to the UK. Will definitely return! After travelling through France and Spain for months we honestly thought this was one of our 2 favourite campsites. Sintra is amazing, with so many historic and cultural places and we adored Azenhas do Mar:
a beach nestled below a picturesque village which features a natural swimming pool carved into the rocks. Another advantage of staying here is the temp at night - much cooler than Southern Spain and the rest of Portugal - so we slept well for the first time in weeks! Also the site is set in a little village - Janas, which has a wonderful cooperative which sells local produce and is a fab place to eat. Great for veggies like us too.

Disliked Having to leave in order to travel home.

Liked The location is lovely, tranquil surroundings and close to both the beach and Sintra. Amenities are nice and clean, basic cooking facilities and bathrooms. Local village has a well stocked shop in walking distance where you can pick up supplies.

Liked I have traveled camper parks in five countries now and this is by far my favorite. The host Carlos is amazing (how many languages does he speak?) The grounds were well kept and so peaceful. You have everything you need. Loved the chickens and dogs too.

Liked Piscina, campeggio ben illuminato e bagni puliti

Liked Carlos war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Meine Frau benötigte medizinische Hilfe und er half zu Organisieren.

Disliked Die Sanitäranlagen könnten verbessert werden. An einem Abend hat Carlos seinen Garten etwas überfüllt mit Gästen

Liked Very close to Sintra

Disliked No instruction on arrival, gates closed and only a number to ring, instructions about second gate that is open would have been helpful before arrival, bathrooms are bad, shower head waist height, hot water lasted 2 mins, didn’t get hair washed properly, basically this camp is some guys back driveway. Also all the restaurants working 3km were closed on a wed. So make sure you have food if you stay that day of the week!

From the manager: Dear Hayley, our contact is always available and we meet guests at gates to show the facilities. We regret the gas finished on your shower and it will happen to a guest once a week and we change the bottle immediately. There is restaurant and supermarkets 4 minute walking distance.

Liked Good place to stay

From the manager: Thanks very much and glad you enjoyed your stay.

Liked J’ai aimé que ça soit un petit camping (le propriétaire très accessible), en pleine campagne, et avec un évier, une gazinière et des ustensiles de cuisine, etc…à disposition des campeurs

Disliked Aux douches, il manque un porte savon

From the manager: Merci de nous avoir évalué et heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour.

Liked Really nice camping, there was everything is needed :) well equipped kitchen, clean bathrooms and swimming pool, hot shower, nice owner. In the close neighborhood there is shop, cafe and Adea Coop which is super nice restaurant and shop with quite nice prices.

Disliked The only thing that could be renovated are shower doors.

Liked Carlos and his team were very pleasant and helpful

Disliked No set pitches and lots of campers and tents crammed together.
Toilets next to the cooking area and shower cold. Carlos did say my husband was unlucky as the gas cylinder had run out and he did replace it. Toilets and showers unisex and doors very flimsy with door hook fixed with hair elastic.
Picture shows sun beds by the pool. There were none when we were there.

Disappointing site
