Portugal campervan parking

[Wallaby Ted]

G'day all.
Heading over in November and hiring (I think) a VW campervan for 2+ weeks.
Is there a online site that lists where I can park up legally overnight?
Thank you

I don’t know how up to date it is but you could try https://campingcarportugal.com/areasServico?l=english

We toured Portugal two years ago, shortly after they banned wild camping in most places, coastline, national parks, etc.

We were pointedly photographed by locals when overnighting in Coimbra; and in the Algarve were moved on (along with half a dozen other vans) by the GNR when parked up during the day, nevermind overnight.

Don't know if things have relaxed again now.

On the flip side, sites in Portugal out of season were remarkably cheap (even without an ACSI card) and some where superb (others less so).

Thanks for that. ACSI card?

It's a card that gives discounted fixed-rate site fees at participating camp sites across Europe outside of the high season.

ACSI Webshop | Inexpensive camping in the low season

With CampingCard ACSI you can camp with a big discount on more than 3,000 campsites in Europe during the off-season. You can save up to 60% per night. On average you will have earned your purchase back in just four nights!

webshop.acsi.eu

For countries that discourage/ outlaw wild camping and that don't have a good network of cheap aires it can be invaluable. We're currently in Croatia and it takes the stress out of finding somewhere to overnight at a reasonable(ish) cost.
