For whom

For whom

Is Camping Beira Marvao for you?
We have perfect camping spots …

… for people who don’t like campsites
Eh? Yeah, you’re staying at our estate, our home. We don’t like cramped and crowded campsites with organised, numbered, animated or orchestrated entertainment and certainly not the anonymous parking spots decorated with laundry. Don’t hang your stuff in our trees!You’re a guest of ours and of Mother Nature, on a spacious spot with a view, that triggers your senses (and which happens to be near to a cozy bar).

… for grounded people (anti-woke)
Nothing wrong with the do-gooders, tree-huggers, world improvers, teetotallers, inclusivity preachers and ecological know-it-alls of this world. Join a (yoga) club or a political party, but leave your judgements at home. You are welcome for recreation and relaxation the jazzy way. So we drink, smoke, hug and sometimes say stupid things.

… for the “gay” and the happy people (or depressed ones who need a serious boost of positivity)
There is some serious positivity on our grounds. So don’t spoil it! Seize the moment of international space-time paths joining on a remote little gem between castles, menhirs and anta’s, roman ruins, lakes and rivers and a still connected (face to face) rural society. Leave as a reloaded, happy and richer person.

… for people who are looking for space, nature and tranquility 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, those as well (yawn). But humans are part of nature as well!

… for active people
And by that we don’t mean people who keep driving campers on and off our estate. In fact, when you have camper and want to use it to visit things, please park for free at the designated camperspots in Marvao or Castelo de Vide!
By active we mean hiking, biking, mountain and race biking, climbing, running, swimming, triathlon. You’ll find yourself immersed in a most stimulating landscape.

… for people who want or need to relax in a kid-free environment
There are many reasons why some people prefer to spend their holiday in a kid-free environment. The main reasons are the unavoidable loud pitched noises that accompany many child activities. But even more important: we also want to provide a welcoming environment to people (for example the LGBTQ+) who don’t live the dominant family-orientated lifestyle. And of course  those who want to escape it for a while. We also love kids, but as choice, not as a fact.

… for freaks and hobbyists
Birds, stars, history, music, satellites, castles, endurance sports, arts, flora and fauna, moths, photography. We have seen a lot of intense hobbies come by. Come and enrich us and your fellow travelers. Just isn’t crazy enough!

… for the (potential) inactive
Oh, how lucky are the ones that don’t need to do anything. No urges or addictions or must sees. No photo from the place you saw on a photo. Please, not another castle…
At our estate you’ll get extra incentives to reach the highest form of being, doing nothing. We’ll ad clean air, no external stimuli at all and most probably some sun (and shadow). Pick a chair or a hammock and the rest is up to you.

Who should better find another spot?
People who think that their idea of a campsite is more important and valid than our idea of our estate and home. People who never read the regulations of their hosts. People who need a place to quickly dump and shower. People with very large vehicles and enormous power consumption. People who get anxious for not having WIFI 24 hours a day (we do have free super fast WIFI at the kiosk and terras). People that need a discount from one or another (parasitic) camping organisation.

Reviews

Below you can read some of the reviews from our beloved guests. Don’t believe it? Take a look for yourself at park4night, campercontact and googlemaps (all reviews from before September 8, 2021 were created under previous ownership).

A paradise, in the middle of nature, with a beautiful view. So much positive energy and charisma, thanks in part to the warmth of Vitor and Ronald. A place to never forget. Everything is just right: the hospitality, the sweet words on the bread bags in the morning, fresh eggs, Dushi's cheerfulness and the heartfelt hugs.

A wonderful place and very warm hosts creating a relaxed and loving atmosphere. It's more of a park than a campsite, with olive trees and stone walls. The area invites you to hike and explore. The castle in Marvão is worth a visit or two! For us, the stay was paradise.

Camp to return. Natural, simple and homely. The owners give it that family touch that makes it unique and unrepeatable. The price is unbeatable and the camping is a delight. It only admits minimum stays of two nights, but you will not regret visiting it. The stars at night are spectacular and the view of the Marvao Castle too.

Vitor, Ronald & Dushi single handly made our 3 week holiday into the smashing succes it ended up to be. Good facilities, lovely scenery & 2 very inspiring,kind human beings to chat to and hang out with whenever you feel like. The word camping doesn’t fit the warm, community-minded vibe that these people carry out. You’ve won a special place in out hearts and we will most certainly be back asap.

everything we love about this wonderful little campsite! in the middle of nature, sincerely warm welcome from Ronald and Vitor, possibility of sharing a drink or a meal at the small snack bar. songs of nightingales at night, beautiful surroundings! we went for 2 days and we stayed a week! We should have stayed even longer! thank you for this welcome that we will remember!

Camping site with a different concept from the others found in Portugal. Super calm, excellent lighting that matches the proposal of this place. Ronald made us feel very welcome and was available at any time. The bathrooms and dishwashing facilities are always immaculate. Location that, in my opinion, is perfect, where all visitors have a campsite with pleasant dimensions, without the usual crowding of campers that you see in some campsites. A place to come back and remember, ideal for a quiet and peaceful rest.

On your journey through life you rarely come across people who immediately give you the benefit of the doubt rather than their judgment. People who hug you directly and hold you in their arms. Even less often you will come across this at a campsite at the reception at check-in and then during your entire stay. Camping Beira Marvao is such a place on earth. A magical place, in an ancient landscape with incredibly sweet people.

We arrived having little expectations about what we wanted and left having received everything we deeply needed. We found a place in love and appreciation of nature, well-protected and looked after, and met an incredibly warm-hearted host, who is strict when it comes to his rules, but a host truly invested in the people around him, willing to share and exchange ideas, thoughts and, most importantly, time. We felt like having visited an old friend and will sure be back in the future!

Two great days: the place is beautiful, very quiet. The bathrooms are very clean and the welcome from the hosts makes you feel at home. Highly recommended!

For us, this place is the most beautiful in Portugal: Absolutely quiet pitches in a fantastic environment, super clean, very well maintained - so beautiful during the day that you almost don't want to leave the place and at night a starry sky that we will remember for a long time! And we have never been received so warmly and lovingly!!! We are already looking forward to returning

I loved being at this campground! The place is very quiet and the owners are super friendly! I will definitely go back

We were warmly welcomed on your estate, a beautiful piece of nature. Because of your warmth, looseness and cosiness we stayed longer (and for Vitor his cooking skills) eating together with the camping guests, very cozy. Dear Ronald and Vitor, we enjoyed our stay and you.

Exaggerated welcome by two kissing men
