Portugal is a wonderful mixture of ancient history and modern development. It boasts some dramatic coastal scenery where the mighty Atlantic rolls in from the west, and in the South of the country is the Algarve with its sandy beaches and warm seas so beloved by the British holiday maker.
Inland the landscape is varied and ranges from fertile plains devoted to agriculture to barren mountain plateaux where nothing much grows and goats struggle to find a foothold. The rivers that wind through these mountains carve out rich valley slopes perfect for vineyards.
The capital city, Lisbon, is a great place to spend a few days, being big enough to offer the big city experience, but small enough not to overwhelm. Portugal has largely escaped the over-development of its neighbour Spain, and a camping holiday here is a real get-away-from-it-all experience.
Eurocamp offers accommodation at two campsites and two apartment complexes in Portugal, offering different types of accommodation at differing price levels. All accommodation is in mobile homes or bungalows. Click the links below to find out more about what each company has to offer.

Algar Seco is near Praia do Carvoeiro in the Algarve. It is a resort complex with quality accommodation in apartments, houses and bungalows. Praia d'el Rey is just north of Lisbon in Peniche. The resort is a short stroll to a lovely beach and close to an excellent golf course, while its proximity to Lisbon means it is easy to enjoy the laid back charms of Portugal's capital city. This is another quality development of houses, apartments and bungalows.
