Camping Orbitur Costa de Caparica

just stayed at campsite Toilets dated but clean new roads have been put in so easy access to pitches. cycle to boat to catch ferry to Belem well worth visit if taking bus into Lisbon take the metro after bus stops in town to get to centre long walk.

Medium sized pitches, with 6 amp electricity and water supply, separated by small hedges. The site was undergoing replacement of roadways during our stay, so the roadside pitches were not in use and we were sited towards the far end of the site. Town is only notable as a beach resort, but there are several bus routes providing easy access into Lisbon.

Prima camping voor combinatie strand en Lissabon. Prima verbinding met Lissabon via openbaar vervoer of fiets en bootje over de Taag.
Enige minpunt op de camping was het gemis van warm water bij de afwasplek.

El personal amable pero lento. Los viales llenos de baches y raices de los pinos. El acceso a las parcelas muy difícil y peligroso, no caben los coche y las caravanas. Lo sanitarios viejos y no muy limpios. No hay lavabos con agua caliente. Muchos mosquitos. Parcelas arenosas con suelo muy blando. Hay mucha gente fija que parecen los dueños y parece que les molestan los turistas. No recomendable.

De omgeving geeft met Lissabon en de uitgebreide boulevard veel. De camping echter veel erg tegen vanwege geluidsoverlast en verouderd sanitair. Daarbij kwam dan nog het hoogste ecsi-tarief, onbegrijpelijk.

Der schlimmste Platz, den wir je hatten. Bloß nicht den Vorauszahlungszeitraum unterschreiten: man kriegt kein Geld zurück.
Von 3 Sanitärgebaeuden 1 nur an Wochenende geöffnet und 2 nur mit Kaltwasser. Nur das 3. am Eingang hat Warmwasser. Wege für große Gespanne nicht ohne Mover passierbar (schiefe und niedrige Bäume im Fahrbereich) und durch Wurzelschaeden kaum befahrbar. Kein Toilettenpapier bzw. Seife oder Trockner.
Fluglaerm bzw Strassenlaerm. Nie wieder!

Camp site OK, but caters for long term caravan pitches. Main area for motorhomes right next to very noisy busy road. Also smell of petrol fumes from traffic. Good size pitches though and level. Electric was always cutting out. Even when we were just putting on a kettle. Luckily as there weren\'t a lot of others at the site we could plug into different sockets. Need a long lead on certain pitches, blue boxes cater for a lot of electric sockets. Having said all that the camp site is in a great place for the beach which is about a 10 minute walk. And it\'s worth the walk. Great for cycling also. Campsite gate to the beach was closed when we were here, so had to go out of the camp site and up a long path, but pleasant walk if the weather is good. Also ideal for travel to Lisbon Have to get a bus to ferry then ferry across.

This review has been written to correct errors in \"matters of fact\" contained in previous reviews. The helpful site staff provided us with 3 useful maps and timetables for 2 bus routes and a riverboat. If you want to go to Belem (a good day out in itself) then get the boat from Trafaria. But if you want to go to central Lisbon you do not need to use the boat - there is an excellent fast (20 mins) and frequent (2-4 per hour) direct bus (161) from Caprica to Lisbon which yoy can catch at a bus stop 15 mins walk from canpsite. This was an excellent base from which to explore Lisbon and surrounding area.

Although ACSI Discount card rates ended 30/9, we paid far less than the ACSI App guide price during our stay in October 15. With an 8m caravan etc, we paid a cheap price per night which is competitive for a capital city.

Do not be put off by negative reviews about long journeys to Lisbon or unhelpful staff - this site makes a great base to explore Lisbon and surrounds.
