If you stay at the Camping Orbitur in Quartereira make sure you have a second E/L lead as some hook-up points are a fair way away. The site is very convenient for the town, weekly market and promenade. the facilities were a bit basic, this a couple of years ago. Enquire about joining the Orbitur club, it attracts a discount.

Whilst travelling down through Spain we encountred many Dutch caravanners who were heading for Monte Gordo, on the Spanish/Portugues border, now the Dutch have an eye for bargains but the write-up in the Caravan Club bible does not paint that good a picture, but who knows you have to bear in mind the info is dated and it is only a reflection of those willing to report.     

Please try www.campingasseiceira.com

we are open all year round

Thank you about this site hope to call in there on the way to Portugal.I  understand that it as got new UK owners takeing over!.

Hi Yorkslee,

By Gum your site is rather isolated, I would think you would need all the 16amp power to keep warm in the winter, but I should imagine it is a very scenic location. Your site is more a spring/summer/autumn destination, perhaps more summer when you look at the showers shown on the web site.

May I wish you well in your venture  

Hi Hymerman,

Yeah it's a stunning and scenic location, i was down there last week doing the completion and it was still t-shirt weather but we all know how the weather can change so quickly, but we can all but try, and if youre ever down this way please call in.

Regards

Yorkslee

Good luck Yorkslee may well look in on you sometime, have made a note of your details for future reference.

Best regards  Tone

We visited Monte Gordo earlier this year yes it is cheap about 9 euros a night but

Toilet blocks were ancient,dirty and smelly,the whole site had an uncared for feel it looked more like a transit camp We did not stay and moved on to Camping Albufera yes 15 euros a night but clean well loooked after good bar and restaurant
