Camping Vasco da Gama

Owners prefer to host materials and not people. It's their business model in Covid-19 era. They have still a good income, are not concerned about a new business model.

Where do I start. Probably saying this site is an absolute Hell Hole. Me and the family arrived towing a caravan. The area for touring caravans is at the top of the site which resembles a caravan graveyard. 30 or 40 of what looks like abandoned junk caravans. The access to the remaining available pitches is blocked by a crazy amount of trees growing at all angles pretty much barring entrance and exit. The ground is covered my mounds of pine needles just waiting to go on fire. The sanitation block is the worst I gave ever seen in over 40 years of Caravanning and that is saying something. Believe me it really is that bad. The approach roads to the camp are by a single track unmade dusty road with joined up pot holes to wreck your car and caravan. For somebody arriving with a tent it might be different if you could cope with the terrible sanitation. However for towing caravans thus place is a dive on epic proportions. Take my advice and give it a very wide berth.

Nice place. Been there visiting a friend and like the place. A little far away from everything but still nice

Long term resident. Enjoying the environment. Sole drawback is the (Muni managed) access trail and its pot holes

The price was reasonable, around €15 in August for two people, car and tent. Very relaxing area to camp in with a lot of trees and space. There was no grass but there were a lot of needles from the trees which made the ground softer. Unfortunately there were a lot of mosquitos. The reception staff were very pleasant. I left a battery charging in one of the bathrooms in the morning morning and it was stolen within an hour...I suspect that it was one of the cleaning staff as I hardly saw anyone entering the bathroom during that time. The bathrooms could have been cleaner and the bins on the campsite were overdue emptying. I would however definitely return as it was relaxing place to camp.
