We are starting a 4-6 month trip to the south with our two 🐾 furry friends in January. We like to use municipal pitches or small campsites, travel away from the tourist crowds, like lonely beaches and old villages. Big cities are not our thing. We record our experiences on video and document all the places on our pitch map. Take a look at YouTube or www.unterwegsmitdenBeckers.de

We are starting our journey south and are continually updating this route here. There are also travel videos on our YouTube channel. Check it out.

Camping Alentejo
A small campsite, right next to the country road (which you can clearly hear), with a cork oak forest at the rear offering good walking opportunities. Well-maintained restrooms, a pool, various seating areas, lots of greenery, and a very well-maintained location. A bread delivery service and shuttle are available.
Currently, the site is 90% full, with many long-term campers. There were gunshots in the forest (hare hunting), so we moved on to the west coast.

Camping Villa Park Zambujeira do Mar
Natural campsite with very good value for money (ACSI 17€).
There are pitches for tents, caravans, small camper vans, or large motorhomes, either in designated areas or in open spaces, whatever you prefer. The supermarket is well-stocked, there's a bread delivery service, rental cars, a pool/jacuzzi (unheated seawater), very clean restrooms, and very friendly staff. The coast and various cafés and restaurants are just 800 meters away.
Currently (02/2025) the space is 90% occupied.

Mértola is the most historic town in the Alentejo. The next Islamic Festival will take place at the end of May 2025.
Many travel guides list the area by the river/Cais as a parking space. This is incorrect. It's a parking area where cars and kayaks are also parked. There are no signs permitting or prohibiting overnight stays. Upon inquiry at the tourist information office, overnight stays are permitted, but the area opposite the fire station is more suitable, especially during heavy rain.
The official motorhome parking area of Mértola is located in Minas de São Domingos, about 20 km away.

The Baía Azul campsite is located directly on the picturesque bay. There are approximately 80 grassy pitches and 20 asphalt pitches. The restrooms are a bit dated. We paid €19.15 for two people, a motorhome, and two dogs without electricity.
