Parque de Campismo Orbitur Valverde

Very neglected site. Pitches not level & overgrown with ****s. 4amp electricity. Toilet/ shower block immaculate but no shower head. Water came from a pipe but plenty hot water. People next door informed us all orbitur sites are the same. Ok for one night

The camping site is a bit old fashioned but the mobil home we got was spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately there were neither microwave and air conditioning. The market is small and rather poor of products. The swimming pool is nice and quiet. The nearest beach is at less than 10 mins by car but can also be reached walking.

It is advertised that it is a two minute walk to the beach. When we checked at the front desk, they said it is a 15 minute walk. After 15 minutes, the beach is nowhere in sight. Perhaps if we drove for 15 minutes. It should also be noted that this is truly a campground. The bungalow is a single-wide trailer that is half the standard length. The walls are paper thin. The shower leaks and runs underneath walls to other rooms.

Valverde used to be ok, a bit free range but livable! and the price at that time was acceptable, but this year the prices have gone through the roof and are not representative of the facilities available! As in , no bar, no restaurant, no swimming pool, no supermarket! We have used the site for 4 years, but will not be returning! Now cheaper to hire an apartment than pay pitch fees. The infrastructure is showing its age, the toilet blocks are outdated, cold and basic! There is no water on pitch, must be hosepipes or watering can from nearest tap, shared electricity posts. The fees have virtually doubled and the facilities are very poor.

We stayed in a bungalow at this campsite and it was great! It was quite hot during the day without aircon or a fan, but thankfully it cooled down quite a lot in the evenings so having a window open was fine. Seems like the bungalows have 2 sun loungers on each shaded balcony so having an afternoon snooze was also possible. There was a shop onsite which is very convenient. There is a bus stop outside going to/from the beach and Lagos, or you can walk to the Luz beach in about 20-30 minutes. It was a great experience and would return again!

Oh dear, the facilities at this place are terrible. Communal toilets do not have locks on them, showers neither. The toilets are full of other people's waste, the shower heads are similar to a hose pipe but without the pressure of water. The cafe you would not go near with a barge pole. The location is outside of Lagos, but there is a bus every hour. If you use the car to go out at night you can't it get back into the camp after 11pm.

I would not recommend staying here. The Wi-Fi only works in one area and the restaurant on the property is not that good. I had to walk in the dark to find my bungalow and did not feel safe. The front desk did not care about any of my concerns and just wanted their money.

Thought we’d try the Orbitur Valverde Site whilst touring Portugal in our campervan, as stayed in one of their other sites during our trip, which was really nice. However not so with this site. Really disappointed at the run down state of the site, where grounds have been neglected and every pitch we looked at (and there were many!) were all infested by ant nests (millions of the little blighters). 3 out of the 5 toilet/shower blocks were closed. One of the remaining ladies shower block had no hot water and was basically a dribble of water, not enough to shower. WIFI only available at reception or in their sitting area. Needs a bit of money spent on upgrading the buildings as they all looked in poor condition. Really not worth 31 euros per night!

Terrible experience: rented a bungalow, there was a constant smell of sewer in the location, wifi coverage was missing and only present at the entrance, the place was hard to reach requiring to walk uphill for a significant amount of time, linee at the check-in, room was ready 4 hours later than standard time, the thing that was abundant was the mosquitos. Try to avoid.
