Thinking of Wild Camping in Alvor? - Forget It
On behalf of the many residents of Alvor and Portimao may I suggest that parking your Motorhome near the Alvor swimming pool and at the back of the Dunes should be the further most thought from your mind.
Alvor is a beautiful location and we do not want it spoilt by Selfish Wild Campers who are too mean to pay for a proper site. It is illegal to Wild Camp in Portugal but you do like to slip under the radar. Well the radar has spotted you, yes you, parking for free, using local water for free and dumping waste water down storm drains.
You look like a bunch of modern day Irish Tinkers that would be soon moved on in countries like the UK. You add little to the local economy, some of you even steal toilet paper from communal Toilets at local beach restaurants. You are a blight on the local landscape, an eyesore for all to see. You park close to villas and apartments that good people have paid a lot of money for and who pay their taxes that now partially subsidises your life style.
Our message to you is simply this - put your hands in your pockets and pay to park at the local camp site. This way you will pay fairly for what facilities you use, you will keep the campsite in business and you will contribute properly to the local economy.
