Camping Ria Formosa

Alan Rogers Review

Not far east of Faro, Camping Ria Formosa is situated very close to a true natural paradise, the Parque Natural da Ria Formosa. This is one of the few in Europe to be so well-preserved, and the beaches here are magnificent. The campsite is just a 20-minute walk from the local village of Cabanas with its shops, bars and restaurants. Here you can take a ferry across to the island, which is essentially a long spit of stunning soft, white sand.

The site has 295 pitches (240 for tourers) all with an electrical connection and modest shade from the small trees and shrubs that delimit the hard-standing pitches. Bus services provide regular access to many of the Algarve highlights, such as the regional capital of Faro and colourful Olhao - much more convenient than driving yourself. The site is open all year and is a popular choice over winter for those wishing to enjoy an extended stay in the winter sunshine.
