No queue for a pitch, no neighbour’s awning three feet from your tent, just quiet countryside and a fair price. Camping Lagoão sits inland near Moncarapacho, east of Olhão, with pitches for tents, motorhomes, and caravans. It’s a straightforward, no-frills option for travellers doing an Algarve road trip who want a quiet base rather than a coastal campsite packed shoulder to shoulder in summer.
Who fits
Campervan and caravan travellers, tent campers, and budget-minded families who want a quiet, affordable base in the Olhão hinterland. Good for a slower-paced trip built around day drives to the lagoon towns and Ria Formosa rather than beach-door camping.
Skip it if you want serviced hotel rooms, a pool, or a walkable beach. This is a rural campsite, not a resort.
Rooms and facilities
Expect standard campsite facilities: pitches with hook-ups for vans and caravans, shared bathroom blocks, and a quiet, shaded setting depending on the season. Hook-up availability and any seasonal closures are worth a phone call or email to the site before you set off, since they can change year to year.
Compared with
Parque de Campismo de Olhão for a pinewood campsite closer to town and the island ferries. Parque de Campismo Armação de Pêra if a coastal campsite further west suits your route better.
Worth it?
Yes, for a budget camping or motorhome base in quiet countryside east of Olhão. Bring a car or bike for towns and beach days, and see where to stay in Olhão for the wider area.
Quick FAQ
Do I need a car?
Yes – the site is inland, so a car or bike gets you to Olhão, the ferries, and the beaches.
Is it open all year?
Check directly with the site, since some hook-ups and services can close or scale back outside peak season.
