Lisboa Camping & Bungalows
This Lisbon campsite serves as a functional base for exploring the city and nearby Sintra, with a bus stop just steps away offering a 30-minute to hour-long ride to the city center and taxis costing around 7 euros. Security guards are on duty 24/7, and the large swimming pool is a highlight, especially for families, though it can be crowded with school groups during the day. Pitches are tarmac, spacious enough for larger caravans, and many come with their own water tap and drainage at every pitch, with concrete hardstanding and electric hookups available. The sanitary facilities receive mixed reviews: some blocks have been recently renovated and are well-maintained, while others are described as dated, shabby, moldy, and poorly cleaned, with cramped shower stalls, broken locks, missing hooks, and inconsistent toilet paper. Noise is a major recurring issue, coming from a nearby highway, a hotel disco with music until midnight, a neighboring open-air restaurant or nightclub, and a rooster crowing from early morning, with no warning given at check-in. The on-site shop is poorly stocked, offering overpriced items like wilting vegetables and limited fresh bread, but lacking breakfast staples such as eggs or cheese; the nearest supermarket is not within walking distance. The restaurant and snack bar serve mediocre food with unfriendly service, though some guests praise friendly staff; it can be empty or closed during stays. Staff attitude is inconsistent, with reception sometimes helpful but often described as uninterested, arrogant, or dismissive, and allegations of unprofessional pitch allocation where groups may be demanded to move. The swimming pool is supervised and can be closed in poor weather, and hygiene concerns arise from a lack of footbath and visitors not showering before entering. Wi-Fi is weak and only available near the snack bar, not across the entire site, and mobile signal is adequate. Waste disposal containers have been noted as overflowing, and drinking water taps are absent from the tent area. Laundry machines and dryers are available. The pitches are mostly on concrete, some under trees, with shade and varying sizes; many are level, but some sloped pitches make level parking difficult. The grounds feel neglected, with abandoned tents and debris left uncleaned, broken paving creating tripping hazards, and buildings looking run-down or even derelict. The entrance decor has been called sexist, and guests feel the high rates are not justified by the deteriorating facilities and poor service. Despite these drawbacks, the site feels safe and is the only camping option within Lisbon, which management exploits with excessive rates, making it more suitable as a mere sleeping stop for visiting the city.
