Santo André Lagoon

A Free Electrons Family review: An excellent, quiet and clean camping near Sines--the birthplace of the great explorer Vasco da Gama. We stopped by here in September at the tail-end of our 36-day family camping road trip from Spain to Poland and back (year 3). Safe travels! Big Smile! ~ www FreeElectrons.Family

Free hot shower with pressure, fair price, nice view

Camping area is prity well done, some shade awailable, nice wind going from the sea...

The most important thing about a camping site are the facilities. You do have electricity outlets at regular distances, so that's good but the bathrooms could be largely improved. The bathrooms were clean but the men's toilets were 1950 style latrines (popular in Asia) where you have to bend the knees to poop. Catastrophy. Also very expensive compared to other better camping places were went further on (like Sao Miguel).

Camping Stalag. Fenced in with a barbed wire fence so you can't actually get the lagoon, reception closed on arrival, no facilities open, showers freezing cold (clean though) I don't consider a cold tap to be "laundry facilities" one to avoid.
