Camping Quinta de Odelouca

I loved it ... Bert was extraordinary. good to rest 😉

A super clean and cosy eco friendly camping run by sympatic Bert and Thea. The pool is a siësta graven and at night you can enjoy the Billiton stars.

The place is stunning. Rural landscape, very quiet, a real hidden gem. The facilities are very clean and you get all you need, hot showers-toilets (bring your own paper), possibilty of washing your clothes (not free ofcourse), a swimmingpool, wifi and also a little booklet with the houserules, historical and geographical info of the neighborhood and some tips for restaurants and shops, super handy! The owners are very correct and gave us a nice proper welcoming, truly recommend for people seeking peace and quiet in the beautiful Algarve hills.

A beautiful and quiet place to relax away from the overpopulated coast. Very clean and well organized. Good hiking/trail running opportunities from the campsite. There are a few unusual rules that are listed in an information booklet such as the 22:30 strictly no vehicle access. Beware if you dine out! Also there is very little shade so bring your own awning.

The campsite is owned and run by a Dutch Couple. The location is very quiet and the site immaculate 10/10. The Dutch owners 8/10 only because he can be a little Frosty but maybe just the Dutch way. The thick rile book you are handed on arrival dud not bother me because the rules are sensible and only common sense. Apart from the rule about no downloads or streaming, due to the very poor wifi so it's understandable too. It's mainly Dutch couples who use thus site and jeep coming back for mire year after year. So that's good that they enjoy it so much. There are 3 ways to drive into the camp. The short way for vehicles under 5 metres due to a sharp impossible turn under the railway viaduct for anything longer. Then there is for vehicles and caravans over 5 meters the longer way....they say approx 4km in length when it's actually 5.5 km along an unmade road very rough in parts with very steep climbs up and down. Not the kind of road that you would want to take a decent car along never mind towing a caravan in excess of 7 meters. I would warn that damage could quite easily happen to your car or caravan. Perhaps even a broken axle. Additionally if you were unlucky enough to meet a car towing a caravan coming the other way then you are stuffed as there in no way to reverse or pass. Think about that one. The owners say that it has never happened. I struggle to believe that. So would I go there again....No. A great deal of effort , time and money has been out into this lovely site but I'm afraid that the 5.5km rough, dusty ride to get to the camp is enough to put me off. large Motorhome drivers I suspect would fare better but it's a No for long caravans and I'm sorry to say that because it's a lovely site. It's better to drive the extra km to the Algarve.
