For anyone heading to Portugal & finding themselves at Praia da Luz, just wanted to make you aware of this.
We are travelling through Europe and using the ACSI book for sites, so when we headed down to Portugal we picked out the Orbitur site & off we went. Got there & booked in for 2 nights (had to pay upfront - 28 euros)
Well what a mistake that was, I wont say too much about the pitches as I'm sure every one has a different take on them, but everything was closed - the pool, shop, restaurant & the toilets were the worst I have been in.
Next morning we packed up and came to view the Camping Turiscampo site that we had passed the day before. Not in the ACSI book but they do take it and its 16euros a night, what a difference.
Sites of all sizes and they are on gravel, everything is open & the toilets/shower blocks are of hotel quality. They even have a dog shower which Albie enjoyed yesterday!!! So nice infact we have booked for a week & may stay longer. :Cool::thumb:

FT since 04/12
We had the same experience (pay up front, poor facilities, rude staff & rubbish pitches) last November at the Orbitur at Praia da Luz, very disappointing, we only stayed there because I had just driven from Sanlucar de Barrameda Spain and was knackered!
The only good bit was Praia da Luz is a lovely town and was walkable from this site.

What I don't understand, is that there is an obvious history here (posts) about a poor camping site So, Mr ASCI why hasn't this been looked into .....inspectors come to mind perhaps your agency may care to comment???:Cool:
