Visit Portugal in a campervan. It is one of the most popular holidays that families, couples and groups of friends do in the summer.

Portugal has something for everybody all year around. Portugal is known for its fantastic beaches, amazing countryside, friendly people, great food.

There are plenty of campsites and Aires too. Many are free places to overnight. These are good places to meet other campers and safe for the children.

Surfers park up next to beaches to surf some of the greatest waves around Europe. Surf, eat, surf, eat, sleep. I think that's how it goes. Cheap campers are available from Lisbon, Porto and Faro. Larger campervans and motorhomes are also available. Share the cost of a 4-berth or 6-berth with a shower and wc.

Larger vehicles suit group of friends and families.

Children love sleeping in these homes on wheels! Climb up above the cab and snuggle into the double bed. A kingdom!

For couples there are smaller two berth campers with showers and wc and either a double bed or two singles. Some vehicles have a fixed double bed saving you the time making up the bed daily.

The larger campers also offer bunk beds. It is important to get the sleeping arrangements right before you embark on a holiday in a camper.

Portugal's motorhomes make your holiday special. The larger vehicles have garages and bike racks. Portugal has hundreds of cycle routes.

Park the camper, cycle, return to the comforts of home. Enjoy a meal from local food and a glass of excellent local wine.

There is plenty for the adventurer too. Try jeep trekking, canoeing, kayaking ,climbing , or surfing. Ride through the national parks, go quad biking, canyoning. There is plenty to get the adrenalin flowing.

For the quieter option, park up and stay in one place for a few days knowing that everything is on hand. All campers and motorhomes have kitchen facilities on board.

It is easy to cook and the larger campervans and motorhomes have good sized fridges. Stock up on everything you need for a few days and head to somewhere remote. You will be fully self-sufficient for a few days.

If the vehicles are not on a powered site then the battery power will last about three days. Water is gas heated. The cooker is also gas powered.

Fridges powered by batteries that charge as you drive. They can also run direct from a power supply when plugged in on a campsite or in some cases they operate by gas.

Make sure the water tanks are full and the gas bottles topped up. Heaters will keep the camper warm on chiller days and nights. These are often diesel powered so no need to drain the batteries.

Portugal has a good range of campers. If you need to talk over which camper is best for you then contact us. We are here to help.
