About this campspace

Located in the quiet countryside of the Alcoutim district.
This is the perfect place to relax. Magnificent nature trails and cycle paths to the Vascao and Guadiana rivers and a breath-taking night sky, see the Milky Way on a clear night with telescopes for your viewing pleasure. "Arrive as a guest and leave as a friend".
Here you will find 10 well-spaced camper van pitches, a service area, hot showers, toilets and a barbecue area. A cafe terrace for sundowners and watching the beautiful sunsets. Water and electricity at nominal cost. Also tucked in nature "4x4 with tent" pitches or just tents and soon the 8 Lotus Belle tents will be available.

Your host, Helena

I arrived in Portugal 6 years ago from Zimbabwe via the UK. I came to "retire" but have had the time of my life building Shamwari Hilltop Retreat. I want to share the beauty of north eastern Algarve with you. A little gem in the wilderness. Come relax and enjoy.
