  • Algarve site with a natural swimming pond made of clear spring water
  • In Carvoeiro in Lagoa, 25 minutes’ drive from Albufeira; 30 from Lagos
  • Surf camp, sauna and activities like barbecue evenings and yoga
The bags are packed, the sandals are slipped on and you’re off to the Algarve coast. Before you set off for any silky beaches or seaside terraces, set up your base at Oasis Camp in Lagoa, which is rather dreamy indeed… The site has a natural swimming pond made of clear spring water and right on site, there’s a surf camp providing equipment rental and multi-day lessons. If surfing isn’t quite your thing, there are also fitness activities and yoga classes to get stuck into. Having Lagoa as your location is excellent too. With rows of whitewashed house, many from the 18th century, there’s plenty to do, whether it’s surfing, dining on typical Portuguese cuisine, visiting Castelo de São João do Arade or driving under 20 minutes to sandy beaches like Praia dos Caneiros and Marinha beach. Oasis Camp has 50,000 square metres of greenery, and as if that isn’t enough to help you relax already, there’s also the natural swimming pond, a pool table and a table tennis table. The site runs communal barbecue evenings, as well as excursions across the Algarve. There’s a chilled-out atmosphere, that’s for certain.

What customers say

Peaceful, family-friendly site with a natural pool & bar. Praised for friendly staff, clean facilities, animals, good value & scenery. Some found pitches small, dusty, with occasional hot water/power issues. Few felt site didn't match online info.

Liked El momento de irme.

Disliked Para empezar el check-in tuvimos que esperar más media hora, ya que solo hay una persona pendiente de esas tareas. Después de eso nos comentó que no constaba la reserva después de un rato dijo que se lo tendría que verificar otra persona que esperásemos… En cuanto a la zona de acampada, decir que es un antiguo césped que está mal cuidado y no uniforme. Después de pagar por la electricidad, encontramos que era una regleta con 6 o 7 enchufes para toda la zona de acampada con más de quince tiendas…. Qué puedo decir de las duchas… Siete duchas para un camping entero y encima me tuve que duchar con agua fría… Además había cinco WC y estrechos (cuesta sentarse)…. No puedo olvidar decir que no existe un horario nocturno de descanso. Dado que la zona de acampada está justo a la entrada del camping se escucha cada vehículo que entra y sale.

Power optional gravel and sand site

Liked La atención de Jessica en recepción

Disliked El camping esta a medio construir. Zonas con bastante peligro para todos. Baños insuficientes para tanta gente. Su espacio era bastante limitado, por lo cual te rozas con las paredes y wc. Antiguo y en condiciones poco aceptables. Solo una zona de baños para todos, y muy lejos de mi parcela. Parcela en pendiente, de gravilla con fondo de tierra roja, hiper sucia esa tierra, las manchas de la ropa no se quitan. Los contenedores brillan por su ausencia, 4 cubos a la entrada y ya está. La piscina estaba llenándose, le faltaba como metro y medio de agua para llegar a las escaleras de madera junto al bar. Continuos y constantes cortes de luz, a tal punto de que pensábamos que se había roto el pingüino (aire acondicionado portátil) que llevamos en la camper. Ahora entiendo porque hay pocas fotos del sitio. Se parece más a un infierno que a un oasis. No tiene sombras, rodeado de maleza que hace daño. Estar aquí ha supuesto un estrés constante. Nos hemos ido un día antes, perdiendo dinero.

Local attractions

If surfing isn’t quite your cup of tea, it’s still possible to get the kids into the water without so much stepping foot on the beach. Slide & Splash (10 minutes’ drive) is a popular water park in Lagoa with slides rather than surfboards. Many of the Algarve’s most popular spots are, of course, within driving distance too. Will you start with Lagos (half an hour), where there’s a steep descent to Praia do Camilo, dramatic cliffs with a lighthouse, a castle and all the stunning terraces within the walled old town? Or instead, begin with Albufeira (25 minutes), which is just a tad quicker to get to? At this spot, join a diving trip (or a dolphin-watching trip if you don’t fancy going down under). Faro (45 minutes) is another stunning location, with plenty of stunning coastal scenery for cyclists to breathe in, as well as a cobbled old town, 13th-century cathedral and a museum in a convent.
