Parque de Campismo Sol de Vila Chã ***

Staff helped us find a pitch, as site was nearly full, for our 8m caravan. Facilities were all fine. Nice beach nearby and a boardwalk along the coast both ways.

Shopping complex nearby, just about walkable if not too hot.

One of the better sites along this coast.

We stayed at the site to visit Oporto. Handy bus stop 2 minutes from site with regular buses. We parked under the the trees and the site was not too busy so we weren\'t very close to other vans. Toilet facilities were very clean and staff helpful. We didn\'t use the pool but it looked very good.

We are travelling through Europe for 6 months so have stayed at a lot of sites,and this is the worse we have stayed at.We ignored previous reviews and that was a mistake,there are no pitches so you are told where to park and we could barely open the door, it is rammed you might as well stay in a car park,the shower system is ridiculous,we feel that the site is greedy and that is why you are rammed in like sardines we stayed one night and left at the first opportunity.

I spent nearly a week here in a tent at the end of February/beginning of May. I was hoping for somewhere warmer and sunnier than London at that time of year but timed it wrong - it was rainy and windy, though a little warmer. The pitch was amazingly cheap . It wasn\'t much - a patch of ground by a fence, in one of the few areas not taken up by motor homes - but for that price I\'m not inclined to be fussy. Everything I had read in previous reviews was true - the 7 minute button activated hot water for the showers, hot washing up water only twice a day, missing toilet seats, most of the site being dedicated to year-round caravans that have seen better days, but also amazingly friendly staff, great restaurants nearby, easy metro trip into Porto, and miles of the most beautiful coastline right on your doorstep. My last night there a beast of a storm came through and blew over my awning and soaked me, so I moved to a very comfortable bungalow which they gave me a discount on. I honestly enjoyed my time here immensely, and I\'ve paid higher fees for much more basic sights. Go without super high expectations (save them for the scenery and surrounding area) and I\'m sure you\'ll have a great stay too.

Fabulous, friendly campsite. We arrived with a tent and decided to take a bungalow instead. It was too reasonable to pass up. We also had the option of a caravan which would have been cheaper. The bungalow had its own bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms.
The bar fella was so helpful, we skipped port tasting in Porto and just sampled the different ones at the bar, far cheaper. The market on site sells the good ports.
The owner of the campground made special reservations for us at a local fish house. She went out of her way to make us feel extremely welcome.
We walked the beach each day, it was lovely; sandy, rolling waves, rocks. Board walk goes each direction for quite a ways.
This is a gem, don\'t pass it up.

Very friendly staff. Small pitches. Good shop with reasonable prices. Good wifi in bar and lounge. Lounge needed updating. Great g&t in bar . Taxi to metro link to Porto. Beaches 50 yards from site. Lovely but can be windy. Great board walk to walk and cycle.

The approach to the site is on cobbled roads so use the route provided which is the shortest from mail route do not use your Sat Nav. The beach and the nice part of the fishing village is a short walk away. The board walk along the beach is great for both cycling and walking along. There are a number of nice beach bars on route. The site was very busy when we were there and our pitch was like being in a car park as far away from the new toilet block as possible, the old block is not great. There are a lot of permanent vans and awnings on site which are quite run down. Touring pitches are variable in size and position most are shaded or overlooked by telephone transmitter mast which makes satellite reception limited but the reception staff know which pitches give the best chance. The showers are on a timer (7 mins) which is ample if you remember to get everything ready before you press the relevant button which is near the block entry door. Hot water was not available all the time so showering, washing dishes or laundry could only be done at certain times of day. It was not a good stay for us.

Good site very close to a lovely sandy beach. Staff could not be more helpful. New toilet block excellent, both blocks well kept & hygenic. Only downside is size of pitches, unmarked & put very close together, some with no room to put an awning/sunshade. 6 amp power could be a problem.

Helpful friendly staff, very busy site with no specific pitches. Vans are parked dangerously close together. Lovely beach with long Boardwalk. Toilet facilities better In the new block.

Not impressed, motorhomes parked 2 deep and nose to tail on a narrow grass verge. Only good thing I can say is that the staff were lovely. We didn\'t eat in the restaurant so I can\'t comment on the food. Noise from the airport wasn\'t too noticeable until Saturday morning when there were a lot more flights from early in the morning. Beach was 2 minutes away but was very dirty with dog mess and rubbish. This was our 13 stop as we travel across Europe and the only one so far that I wouldn\'t return to.
