Ericeira Camping

Alan Rogers Review

This site can be found to the north of the pretty fishing village of Ericeira, just 40 minutes north of Lisbon and 200 m. from the beach. The local beaches are magnificent, with sandy stretches and rugged outcrops, and are world-renowned for serious surfing. Pitches are of a good size, terraced and laid out on hard surfaces among the trees, though many have limited shade from the tall pines. Most have electrical connections (6A), and a range of mobile homes and cabins are available to rent. There is also a bar/restaurant with a terrace and a well-stocked shop.

Ericeira lies close to Mafra National Park, created by King João V for hunting and recreation, which extends over 2,000 acres of tree-clad hills, shallow rivers and forested walking trails. The park is home to wild boar, deer and various birds of prey. Nearby, Mafra’s vast National Palace dwarfs the surrounding city and is one of Europe’s largest 18th-century Baroque buildings and a Portuguese national monument. Ericeira is a pleasant resort with four beaches and a fine musical heritage with its Filarmónica Cultural dating back to 1849.
